Seton Hall Law Faculty's Latest Scholarship Makes an Impact

Through their research and scholarship, Seton Hall Law faculty continue to advance knowledge and deepen understanding in diverse areas of law and on issues of pressing public importance. Several notable works of scholarship will soon be published in 2025-2026, including one book and many articles in highly respected law journals. These new works all share the hallmark of Seton Hall Law scholarship: rigorous research and analysis, thoughtful insights, and creative solutions to complex legal issues. The forthcoming work includes an empirical study of judicial decision-making, a book on corporate bankruptcy, a deep historical examination of Article III standing, and cutting-edge analyses in First Amendment, criminal, health, and disability law.
