OVER RULED: THE HUMAN TOLL OF TOO MUCH LAW
A POWERFUL EXPLORATION OF THE LEGAL CHALLENGES FACING ORDINARY AMERICANS
Written by Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze Reviewed by Lindsey T. Nguyen
In "Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law" (2024), Neil Gorsuch and co-author Janie Nitze deliver a thought-provoking critique of a legal system that has grown far too complex for its own good. Gorsuch argues the relentless layering of regulations and bureaucratic red tape has turned the law into an obstacle rather than a safeguard for everyday Americans. By weaving together gripping personal stories with sharp legal analysis, Gorsuch exposes the unsettling reality of how unchecked government power, operating beyond the reach of democratic accountability, quietly erodes individual freedoms.
Neil Gorsuch’s rise to becoming an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court is both an inspiring and instructive journey for legal professionals and others alike. His career has been defined by a deep commitment to constitutional originalism, an approach that advocates interpreting the Constitution as it was understood at the time it was written. Beyond his judicial philosophy, Gorsuch has been consistently vocal about the burdens that the modern legal system imposes on everyday Americans, a theme that runs powerfully through his recently published book.
