Best philosophy of law books according to redditors

Great to hear you're interested in learning more about formal epistemology!
If you just want enough understanding to read most formal epistemology papers directed at nonspecialists, any of a number of textbooks on formal methods for philosophers is the place to start. An example is Hansson and Hendricks but if you just search phrases like "introduction to formal philosophy" or "mathematics for philosophers" you'll probably turn up many more.

If you want a stronger background in formal epistemology, Bovens and Hartman is a classic. Howson and Urbach is good but too hard. Mike Titelbaum has been working on an easier book like Bovens and Hartman for some time. I don't think it's out yet but I'm not sure.

Hope this helps.

You should check out this book. It's not a joke:

Y’know, I specialize in Thomas, and I’ve never found a good introduction to his thought. It’s so wide-ranging and all-encompassing, not to mention its density and depth, it’s probably best to choose a particular topic or theme in the Summa to begin with: treatise on law, treatise on passions, disputations on virtues, etc. Then just jump into the Summa and start reading, and pair that with a good commentary. For instance, for law, I’d recommend J. Budziszewski’s commentary; for passions, I’d recommend Robert Miner’s book.

There is literally an entire book full of explanations as to why everything you just said is demonstrably wrong: https://www.amazon.com/Theres-Such-Thing-Free-Speech/dp/0195093836
