Lights, Camera, Execution! engages in detailed critical analysis of nine different films about capital punishment in the United States. It examines well-known movies from the last thirty years; explores the cinematic techniques used; and identifies common themes such as race and human dignity.

This is the first book-length analysis of Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy. Using the hot-button issues of privacy rights, race, and free speech, The Tie Goes to Freedom challenges the conventional wisdom that Kennedy's jurisprudence is inconsistent and incoherent. The book also demonstrates how he forcefully articulates a libertarian constitutional vision.
