Later in that year, his co-authored The Federal Courts: An Essential History came out from Oxford University Press.

In 2018, his Uncivil Warriors: The Lawyers Civil War, from Oxford; The Clamor of Lawyers: The American Revolution and the Crisis in the Legal Profession, from Cornell; and a new edition of his The Supreme Court: An Essential History appeared. He awaits publication of his Searching for Justice: Lawyers in the Civil Rights Era, 1950-1975, from Chicago, in 2019. Hoffer has won the Choice "Outstanding Academic Title" award four times, in 1991, 1992, 2005, and 2008.
