This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Hello! Currently the "Works" section has subsections for "The Mother Court" and "Supremely Partisan", giving users brief overviews of both books. However, there is no such subsection for my third book Plaintiff in Chief. For the sake of consistency and completeness, I'd like to propose adding the following subsection and infobox for Plaintiff in Chief, which is a similar summary based on reputable sources:
Plaintiff in Chief: A Portrait of Donald Trump in 3,500 Lawsuits
Published in September 2019, Zirin's third book[1]Plaintiff in Chief: A Portrait of Donald Trump in 3,500 Lawsuits focuses on lawsuits involving Donald Trump and his real estate development projects, allegations of sexual misconduct, and the Mueller Special Counsel investigation, among others.[2] The study is based on three years of research and spans 45 years of Trump's career and personal life.[3] Specific cases include one brought by the U.S. government for housing discrimination in 1973, another involving unpaid undocumented workers, a class action related to Trump University, and a defamation suit filed by Trump against an employee of The New York Times.[4] Zirin also describes Roy Cohn's influence on Trump, including the former U.S. president's understanding and application of the law.[3][5] Lee Rawles of ABA Journal included the book in a list of the top 10 stories of 2020.[6]
Given my conflict of interest, I'll avoid editing the article myself. I'm asking editors to please review this request and update the article appropriately on my behalf. Thank you in advance for your help. Jim Zirin (talk) 16:54, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to share a few links which might be helpful, in case editors wish to add. Right now the article says, "His essays have appeared in Forbes, Time, Huffington Post, The Hill, and The Nation." If preferred, editors may also want to note contributions to Daily News, The Washington Post, and Washington Monthly. The following C-SPAN link could also be added to the "External links" section:
Done The list of publications essays have appeared in is getting a bit long, and could potentially benefit from some editing to avoid just having a long list in the middle of a block of text, but for now I've left it as is. GiovanniSidwell (talk) 16:31, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
