Smith, 1996), a collection of essays regarding legal thought in contemporary America, Jurismania (1998), a scathing critique of the American legal system, and The Diet Myth (2005), previously published as The Obesity Myth(2004), an expose of the hysteria surrounding and health in the Western world today. Campos writes a weekly opinion column for the Scripps Howard News Agency, which appears newspapers around the nation.

Paul Campos's legal scholarship has focused largely on questions regarding legal interpretation, and especially on the ways in which law can become a kind of substitute pseudo-religion in a secularized culture. In 2003, the Colorado Daily named him "Best University of Colorado Professor" in its annual Best of Boulder edition.

He also has a daughter, Leia "Tizri" Eleanor Campos Zelig.
