What we sell

Our main product is the Green Bag, a quarterly journal devoted to short, readable, useful, and sometimes entertaining legal scholarship. To subscribe to the Green Bag or renew a subscription, please click here.

What we give away

Many of our products are not for sale. Instead, we give them away. Our gifts fall into two categories: (1) books and the like, which are generally free for the asking until we run out, and (2) works of scholarly artistry, which are free but not for the asking (because we distribute them arbitrarily and capriciously). Please see below for details.

Books and the like

The Green Bag Press produces:

Books by respected members of the bar (e.g., David Sentelle's Judge Dave & the Rainbow People and Bennett Boskey's Some Joys of Lawyering);

Annuals by experts and by Green Bag editors (e.g., Cynthia Rapp's In-Chambers Opinions of the Justices and the Green Bag Almanac & Reader); and

Odds and ends we cannot resist (e.g., Brainard Currie's Quidsome Balm).

We give available GBP products to almost anyone who gives us a satisfactorily completed copy of this form. Free pdfs of some GBP products are available here.

Works of scholarly artistry

At the moment our artistic resources are devoted to bobbleheads, bubble gum, and trading cards. We distribute these items willy-nilly, with no promises to anyone about what we might make, when we might make it, or who might get it.

Bobbleheads of the Justices: In collaboration with Alexander Global Promotions, we produce standard bobbleheads of sitting and recent members of the Court, and mini-bobbles of members from more distant bygone days. To learn more, please click here.

Thought Bubble Gum: We hope to produce pink rectangles of wisdom and wonder in many forms. For now they are only available as fridge magnets. To learn more, please click here.

Supreme Court Sluggers Trading Cards: A portrait of an important figure in the law on one side and loads of related tiny-type data on the other, plus other tidbits. To learn more, please click here.
