Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent by Harvey Silverglate

This book's a little over the top. Silverglate is writing about cases where he was the defense attorney, and his presentation is thus biased.

FIRE's Guide to Free Speech on Campus by Harvey A. Silverglate

As much a philosophical defense of the necessity of free speech on a college campus as a practical guide to how to protect it. In other words, it will inspire you to fight as well as help you to do so!
