Congratulations to Gene Mazo, Editor of the New Book, “The Oxford Handbook of American Election Law”

pedagogy, theory

Kudos are in order for Gene Mazo, who had a task much harder than herding cats in producing The Oxford Handbook of American Election Law. I just got my massive copy in the mail, and it is full of insightful and synthetic articles from many of the leaders in United States election law. (My contribution is on the past, present, and future of election law reform in the United States.)

Gene has been more willing than most to take on responsibilities to advance the field. They take a tremendous amount of work. He deserves great credit for getting this wisdom on the page.

Some of the contributors to the volume will participate in an ELB Book Corner session down the line. Congratulations!
