In Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America, Elie Mystal delivers a sharp, unapologetic critique of ten pieces of U.S. legislation he argues are fundamentally unjust. Through a combination of historical framing, personal anecdotes, and biting wit, he exposes how laws like the Hyde Amendment on abortion funding, strict voter ID requirements, civil asset forfeiture, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, and harsh immigration and drug policies perpetuate systemic racism, disenfranchisement, and inequality. Mystal contends that these laws have been shaped by political motivations and power imbalances, rather than justice or public interest, making them modern-day impediments to democracy and fairness .

Rather than offering dry legal theory, Mystal weaves in sharp humor and real-life examples, challenging readers to question the myth of neutral law and recognize how many statutes uphold privilege and oppression. He doesn’t merely criticize; he calls for sweeping reforms—including repealing these “Bills of Wrongs,” restoring judicial discretion, expanding voter access, rethinking congressional apportionment, and reclaiming democratic values. Ultimately, the book functions as both an indictment of legal power structures and a hopeful roadmap to a more equitable American legal system.
