A new book from the American Bar Association’s Judicial Division, “Resolving Gerrymandering: A Manageable Standard,” offers a unique look at gerrymandering.
Written by Robert Schafer, a lawyer and professor of city and regional planning at Harvard University, the book is a guide to gerrymandering solutions without the entanglements of justiciability and political questions, focusing on the means by which gerrymandering operates. This approach is grounded in a comprehensive analysis of the Supreme Court’s reasoning and is applicable not only to partisan gerrymandering but also other unconstitutional inequities based on race, income, age and other characteristics.
The book covers Congressional districts; political questions; one person, one vote; state legislative district; gerrymandering; a manageable standard for resolving gerrymandering
The book available as a hardcover and eBook for $59.95.
