Joan Biskupic spoke about her new book Sandra Day O'Connor: How the First Woman on the Supreme Court Became Its Most Influential Justice at a media fellows' seminar on October 26.

The activist role of both left- and right-leaning judges was examined by Hoover media fellow David A. Kaplan, who says that the federal courts have become involved in issues that are better determined by legislatures.

The book The Not So Wild, Wild West, coauthored by Hoover Institution senior fellow Terry L. Anderson, has won the Sir Antony Fisher International Memorial Award from the Atlas Economic Research Foundation.
