The book covers the traditional array of church-state topics, including the regulation of religious practice, the funding of religious institutions, the endorsement by government of religious messages, and the appropriateness of religion in politics. Among other updates, the fourth edition includes the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decisions in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, Hosanna-Tabor v. EEOC and Holt v. Hobbs, as well as important contemporary lower-court cases, such as Elane Photography v. Willock and Spencer v. World Vision.
This is a source for people seeking to understand the law of letters of credit under UCC Article 5. The book's purpose is to bring together material from four hard-to-access source materials, set them out by subject matter, and allow comparative analysis that will add meaning to the spare language of the 1995 version of UCC Article 5, the current legislation.
Article 5 acknowledges that it is a basic platform for law that governs letters of credit. The statute assumes that case law and case law history continue to play critical roles in fashioning the superstructure for that platform.
Researchers can access current case law in treatises, but the law on which the first version of Article 5, the 1952 version, relied is absent from most of the literature. Happily, in 1953 the New York Law Revision Commission asked Professor Rudolph Schlesinger to evaluate the 1952 version in light of then current case law. Schlesinger's Report, first published in 1952, is not readily accessible. It is a superb restatement of letter of credit law at the time the drafters were first fashioning the letter of credit statute.
Also largely inaccessible are the comments Henry Harfield, a leading letter of credit lawyer and commentator prepared for New York's now repealed 1962 version of Article 5. This resource makes those comments available as well as the Schlesinger Report.
Finally, the chapters dealing with each section of the current version of Article 5 contain "Editor's Commentary" by this author who writes frequently on the subject and has been recognized by courts and commentators as an authority on letter of credit law.
This book makes the Harfield comments accessible by setting them out after the 1962 version of Article 5 and the Schlesinger Report accessible by presenting relevant portions of it out after each section of the 1952 version of Article 5. Appendix A is the introduction and the conclusion of the Report, which are not set out in the chapters.
The effect of presenting this section-by-section chronology is to give the researcher entrée to the legislative and common law history of the entire letter of credit article from its earliest version to its current version with commentary by recognized letter of credit commentators.
This is a short, to-the-point, desk book so that any intelligent comptroller, marketer, supply manager, inventory control supervisor, CEO, COO, lawyer, banker, whatever, will be up to speed. Not necessarily up to speed to fashion a standby to secure a $25 million deal, but up to speed to the point to be able to participate in the fashioning of that deal, as the credit's applicant, issuer, or beneficiary. Readers will know whether the consultants they hire are specialists or blowing smoke and whether the lawyers and bankers understand standby credits, and will know when this handy commercial device can serve commercial needs with remarkable celerity, certainty, and low cost.
The purpose of the book is to fashion a platform of working knowledge regarding an underappreciated and often little understood commercial device, the standby letter of credit, and to bring that platform to lawyers, bankers, and other parties engaged in commercial activity.
Domestic standby credits are a subset of the broader letter of credit subject. Letters of credit are not new, but the growing use of the domestic standby is. Unfortunately, letters of credit are more than a little idiosyncratic. They are not contracts, are not negotiable instruments, and are not subject to the law that governs those two more familiar commercial concepts. Standby credit law and practice are not only different. They are often counterintuitive for people who are active in commercial activity and in commercial borrowing and lending, and to lawyers generally familiar with commercial law.
The book endeavors to dispel completely any notion that letter of credit law is for the expert only. Once the reader grasps the unique functions and nature of the standby, as this little book explains them, the rules make perfect sense. Lawyers, bankers and non-lawyers and non-bankers can grasp them quickly and can utilize the standby to achieve marvelous efficiencies and achieve them with celerity, certainty, and at low cost.
The book is designed to promote student appreciation of the interaction of legal doctrines as they are applied in the white collar crime field. The material exposes students to substantive criminal law, criminal procedure, administrative procedure, corporate law, evidence, civil procedure, sentencing law, and highly specialized regulatory law. The book also allows students to appreciate the influence of administrative policies and the influence of the basic "culture" of white collar criminal practice. In addition to traditional materials in the casebook, a companion statutory and documentary supplement provides rich primary source material.
Antitrust in Distribution and Franchising is accessible and actionable information primarily about antitrust law in the context of various aspects of distribution system agreements. 4
The goal of Antitrust in Distribution and Franchising is to provide high-level practical and conceptual guidance and general training for use in understanding the concepts and protocols involved in vetting distribution and franchising agreements and practices for antitrust law compliance.
Some topics in Antitrust in Distribution and Franchising include: determining the relevant market; resale price maintenance agreements and other vertical restraints; tying; price discrimination; state antitrust laws, etc., and other antitrust issues related to different categories of distribution and franchising arrangements. Its aim is to provide a practically oriented frame of reference for reaching a working hypothesis on whether a distribution or franchise agreement reduces rivalry resulting in likely appreciable anticompetitive effects and, if so, whether those effects are outweighed by pro-competitive efficiency gains benefitting customers.

The Hon. Damon J. Keith was appointed to the federal bench in 1967 and has served as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit since 1977, where he has been an eloquent defender of civil and constitutional rights and a vigorous enforcer of civil rights law. In Crusader for Justice: Federal Judge Damon J. Keith, authors Peter J. Hammer and Trevor W. Coleman presents the first ever biography of native Detroiter Judge Keith, surveying his education, important influences, major cases, and professional and personal commitments. Along the way, the authors consult a host of Keith's notable friends and colleagues, including former White House deputy counsel John Dean, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and industrialist Edsel Ford II for this candid and comprehensive volume.
Hammer and Coleman trace Keith's early life, from his public school days in Detroit to his time serving in the segregated U.S. Army and his law school years at Howard University at the dawn of the Civil Rights era. They reveal how Keith's passion for racial and social justice informed his career, as he became co-chairman of Michigan's first Civil Rights Commission and negotiated the politics of his appointment to the federal judiciary. The authors go on to detail Keith's most famous cases, including the Pontiac Busing and Hamtramck Housing cases, the 1977 Detroit Police affirmative action case, the so-called Keith Case (United States v. U.S. District Court), and the Detroit Free Press v. Ashcroft case in 2002. They also trace Keith's personal commitment to mentoring young black lawyers, provides a candid look behind the scenes at the dynamics and politics of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and even discuss some of Keith's difficult relationships, for instance with the Detroit NAACP and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Judge Keith's 45 years on the bench offer a unique viewpoint on a tumultuous era of American and legal history. Readers interested in Civil Rights-era law, politics, and personalities will appreciate the portrait of Keith's fortitude and conviction in Crusader for Justice.
A book specifically designed for the VAT systems in use on the African continent, these chapters cover industries that typically are hard to tax under a VAT. The chapter suggests ways in which African countries can expand their VAT bases by including some of the value added by these industries. Professor Schenk uses the book in a Value Added Course that he teaches for the African Tax Institute.
Modern Water Law: Private Property, Public Rights, and Environmental Protection provides a comprehensive text to study the range of legal issues and doctrines that affect water resources in the United States. The field of water law has evolved considerably in recent decades, expanding well beyond historic common-law doctrines of riparian reasonable use and prior appropriation. Modern Water Law thus offers a new conceptual approach to the field of water law as an integration of (1) private property (the common-law doctrines for riparian reasonable use and prior appropriation, as well as groundwater rights and the statutory schemes for administering water use rights), (2) public rights (navigation, the public trust doctrine, federal reserved rights, and interstate water management), and (3) environmental protections (the energy-water nexus, water pollution, and endangered species conflicts). The modern practice of water law requires attorneys to understand the interactions between different legal doctrines and regimes and how potential conflicts among them can be resolved in practice. Modern Water Law will prepare students and practitioners for the challenges of 21st century water law.
Authored by leading academics who bring strong scholarly and practice perspectives to the subject, White Collar Crime is the first one-volume, in-depth analysis of substantive and procedural aspects of white collar crime. Offenses analyzed include conspiracy, fraud, corruption, RICO, false statements, perjury, tax, currency reporting, bankruptcy, environmental, and computer crimes.
Procedural issues are addressed in detail, including the grand jury process, agency investigations, parallel proceedings, self-incrimination (testimony and documents), searches, and privileges. In addition to statutes and caselaw, the book covers strategy and DOJ internal guidelines and also includes sentencing of both individuals and corporations in white-collar cases. This book is an indispensable guide for students and practitioners alike.
This fascinating book examines the World Bank's capacity for change, illustrating the influence of overlapping political, organizational and epistemic constraints. Through comprehensive historical and economic analysis, Peter J. Hammer illuminates the difficulties faced by recent attempts at reform and demonstrates the ways in which the training and socialization of Bank economists work to define the policy space available for meaningful change.
The author examines the patterns of change and continuity at the World Bank during the presidencies of James Wolfensohn (1995-2005), Paul Wolfowitz (2005-2007) and Robert Zoellick (2007-2012) and discusses the role that various Chief Economists have played in the evolution of the Bank's research activities. His analysis of Bank reforms - both successful and unsuccessful - demonstrates how neoclassical economics sets the Bank's research and development agendas and limits reform possibilities derived from different academic traditions.
This clear and balanced account is an important case study in the role that epistemic constraints can play in the formation of public policy, with implications for both the World Bank and other international organizations. Students, professors and researchers with an interest in economic development, institutional economics and policy studies will find it an invaluable resource, as will government officials and practitioners working in international development.
This book is a leader in providing materials that match the "skills and values" theme emphasized in the MacCrate and Carnegie Reports. The new third edition includes over 50 problems that allow the law professor to explore the practical impact of the theoretical concepts underlying criminal law. The new edition expands this orientation with several new problems, a new case study that examines issues from Jena Six, as well as new materials that recognize recent federal sentencing guideline changes. The book retains its international and comparative notes with the addition of a problem that considers the increased influence of international matters. In keeping with the original theme of having a casebook with recent decisions, several new cases are inserted, with a few older ones removed. The authors plan to introduce with this casebook a website that will offer podcasts, syllabi, Powerpoints, and other teaching materials. In short, a text that is compact, student-friendly, flexible, both practical and theoretical, and hi-tech all in one novel package, including a teachers' manual with answers to every problem.
Criminal Pretrial Advocacy fills a critical gap in the skills training for law students by providing a complete course addressing the pretrial phase of a criminal prosecution along with plea negotiation and sentencing. It contains materials to follow a case through all the important steps in a criminal prosecution from the decision to file charges to challenges to the investigative tactics and evidence to plea bargaining. The casebook covers the pretrial process in a criminal case by incorporating both a discussion of the rules and procedures in each phase along with the basic legal doctrines related to criminal prosecutions. This gives students the substantive foundation to proceed through the course by providing a foundation for understanding how the process unfolds. It is designed to give students the opportunity to engage in both legal writing exercises and court appearances.
Visualizing Secured Transactions takes the basic areas covered by Article 9 and creates a visual aid for the statutory provisions typically assigned in connection with those areas. Some visual aids cover a single section while others summarize a number of sections bearing on a single topic. The overarching goal of Visualizing Secured Transactions is to help students see the organizational structure and create visual clues for remembering content. This unique book, updated to reflect changes in the law since the first edition was published in 2005, uses visual aids such as charts and diagrams to foster student understanding and application of the law governing secured transactions. The organization of the material tracks the outline and scope of traditional Secured Transactions casebooks and covers Article 9 of the UCC and related UCC provisions and sections of the Bankruptcy Code.
Law and Language, the fifteenth volume in the Current Legal Issues series, is based upon an annual colloquium held at University College London. Each year leading scholars from around the world gather to discuss the relationship between law and another discipline of thought. Each colloquium examines how the external discipline is conceived in legal thought and argument, how the law is pictured in that discipline, and analyses points of controversy in the use, and abuse, of extra-legal arguments within legal theory and practice. This volume offers an insight into the scholarship examining the relationship between language and the law. The issues examined in this book range from problems of interpretation and beyond to the difficulties of legal translation, the role of language and the law in a variety of literary works; and considers the interrelation between language and the law in a variety of contexts, including criminal law, contract law, family law, human rights law, and EU law. Professor Winter's chapter - Frame Semantics and the 'Internal Point of View' - examines the classic debate in jurisprudence between Hart's positivism and Dworkin's version of natural law in light of the recent developments in cognitive science.

According to Oxford University Press, "in Sovereign Equality and Moral Disagreement: Premises of a Pluralist International Legal Order, Professor Brad R. Roth provides readers with a working knowledge of the various applications of sovereign equality in international law, and defends the principle of sovereign equality as a morally sound response to disagreements in the international realm."
Global Issues in Criminal Procedure provides an overview of constitutional issues that arise when searches, seizures and interrogations occur outside the United States. As crimes increasingly cross international borders, investigations also cross national boundaries. The materials in this book examine prosecutions in U.S. courts that involve evidence obtained abroad. There are two main parts to the book: 1) Searches and Seizures Abroad and 2) Interrogations Abroad. The first part examines the reach of the Fourth Amendment when the searches and seizures involve U.S. citizens abroad compared with non-U.S. citizens. Cases such as Verdugo-Urquidez and Alvarez-Machain are included, along with more recent cases that stem from recent terrorism prosecutions. Since the September 11 attacks, electronic surveillance has also become more important in conducting investigations and raises new challenges. A section on electronic surveillance contains materials on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act with its amendments from the USA Patriot Act and more recent amendments. The second part of the book looks at the reach of the Fifth Amendment and Due Process Clause abroad, both the ban on involuntary statements and the protections of Miranda. This section further includes materials on torture and extraordinary renditions. There is also a short discussion of indefinite detention in places like Guantnamo Bay, Cuba, Afghanistan, and in other sites. The book is designed to be used in conjunction with a basic Criminal Procedure textbook that covers the traditional Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment cases. The materials provide an opportunity to extend the study of these Amendments into the international implications and issues that face many criminal law practitioners and judges in cases today in U.S. courts.
From Swisshumanrightsbook.com: "Realizing the right to health requires a strong focus on strengthening health care systems and transforming health systems for women. Taking a human rights approach to health means understanding the underlying social determinants of this right, as well as how to ensure the right to health is realized in times of emergency and armed conflict, and for all groups in society, including migrants and refugees, LGBTI persons, prisoners and detainees, and others. In this third volume of the Swiss Human Rights Book series, leading international experts in human rights and health address issues such as access to essential medicine, HIV/AIDS, trade and health, SARS and malaria, and human rights approaches to other key health challenges. They address the role of governments, non-state actors and healthcare practitioners, the responses of multilateral institutions, and highlight some of the most promising strategies for realizing the right to health."

Nearly a decade after the 2000 presidential elections invited a firestorm of questions about the sanctity of our democratic process, there continues to be a heightened interest in the role of state-wide elections officials, typically the state's Secretary of State. This book looks into their pivotal role in the promotion of a healthy democracy.
Much past interest has resulted in overly critical coverage of election errors, ignoring the tireless efforts that ensure the American citizens benefit from a democratic, inclusive and accountable election process. Through a series of case studies, anecdotes, and interviews with current and recent secretaries, State Secretaries of State author Jocelyn Benson readdresses this balance by providing the first in-depth study of the Secretary's role in registering voters, enforcing voting laws and regulations, overseeing elections, and certifying results. As such, it represents a much-needed contribution to the study of U.S. elections, both in practice and in law.
From Carolina Academic Press:

Thus, Law and the Humanities marks the maturation of this 'law and' enterprise and will spur its further development." This is the first book of its kind in the field. It is interdisciplinary. It is global.
Professor Winter's chapter: Law, Culture, and Humility
Commercial letters of credit remain a rather arcane subject. International bankers and many experienced commercial lawyers understand them and understand the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP 600) that usually govern them; but many buyers, sellers, and lawyers, those new to international sales as well as many with experience in international sales, are sufficiently unfamiliar with the subject that they will benefit from a users' handbook. The perceived need is for an introduction to international sales, international payments, and the commercial letter of credit. The Paris-based International Chamber of Commerce commissioned this users' handbook to fill the need.
According to Cambridge University Press, this book gathers 38 leading scholars working in law and philosophy to provide focused and straightforward articulations of the role that philosophy might play at this juncture of American legal history. The volume marks the 75th anniversary of Karl Llewellyn's essay "On Philosophy in American Law," in which he rehearsed the broad development of American jurisprudence, diagnosed its contemporary failings, and then charted a productive path opened by the variegated scholarship that claimed to initiate a realistic approach to law and legal theory. The essays are written in the spirit of Llewellyn's article: they are succinct and direct arguments about the potential for bringing law and philosophy together.
Building on the 1992 first edition, this guide pools the knowledge of bankruptcy judges and clerks of court experienced in handling mega-cases in a written resources for others. It describes the general time line of a mega-case, issues that are likely to arise, and how other judges have approached those issues. The revised guide reflects management strategies currently set by statute, case law, local rules and general orders, and employed by individual judges. It expands coverage of topics that have gained prominence since the guide was first published.
Cambodia is undergoing dramatic political, economic and social changes, placing new pressures on minority groups and vulnerable peoples. Some changes are driven by Cambodia's uniquely troubled history. Other forces are global, affecting Cambodia and all other nations in the region. This volume presents a collection of select edited papers presented at an International Conference in Siem Reap, Cambodia, sponsored by the Center for Khmer Studies with the support of the Rockefeller Foundation as part of their Capacity Building in Cambodian Higher Education Program. Important insights can be gained by looking at the lives of those living on the margins. An appreciation of margins, minorities and borderlines teaches a number of object lessons, but it also suggests an enlightening method of analysis. Margins identify fault lines, demarcating borders where powerful tectonic plates rub against each other, whether these plates represent conflicting social institutions or the forces of transcendent, but ill-defined processes like nation-building, economic development or globalization. Engaging the lives of real people caught on these margins can lead to new understandings of the often invisible forces shaping and reshaping Cambodia and the region. The problems of ethnic groups are one concern. Transnational and cross border influences are creating new challenges and opportunities for ethnic minorities. The Cham and other Muslim communities are reconnecting to international Islam. Labor markets cross national boundaries. Vietnamese migrant workers travel to Cambodia, as Cambodian workers travel to Thailand. International loans, agencies and programs targeting development, itself an often disruptive cross border force, are transforming many Cambodian institutions and redefining traditional social margins in the process. This clash of forces is most profoundly felt by the indigenous peoples of the northeast, but the papers also examine other minorities and vulnerable groups who have been systematically denied access to important social resources. Theories of social exclusion teach that the landless, street children, victims of domestic violence and gay and lesbian persons are on the margins of different Cambodian institutions and that borders are not only of a geographic nature.
The focus of this book is a complete and detailed perspective on consumer protection laws, with emphasis on developments regarding federal, state, and international law, as well as industry self-regulation.

Research With High-Risk Populations provides guidance to social scientists regarding their ethical and legal responsibilities to respond appropriately to threats of harm that may arise during the course of data collection. Contributing authors include leading researchers, ethicists, lawyers, and Institutional Review Board (IRB) members from across the country who illuminate the complexities of the issues using case studies from their own research projects. This collection of ethical and legal analyses examines both the challenges of conducting research designed to responsibly gain a better understanding of the origins of serious health problems, and the moral and legal obligations of researchers who learn of threats of violence in the course of pursuing the primary objectives of the research. This book maps out an appropriate balance between protecting human research participants from harm and generating new scientific knowledge. It will enable researchers and IRB members to become more knowledgeable about the different ways of allowing valuable research to go forward, while minimizing the potential for harm and protecting all parties involved from undue harm and exploitation.
According to Cambridge.com, a "comprehensive collection of essays in multidisciplinary metaphor scholarship that was written in response to the growing interest among scholars and students from a variety of disciplines such as Linguistics Philosophy, Anthropology, Music, as well as Psychology. These essays explore the significance of metaphor in language, thought, culture, and artistic expression. There are five main themes of the book: the roots of metaphor, metaphor understanding, metaphor in language and culture, metaphor in reasoning and feeling, and metaphor in non-verbal expression. Contributors come from a variety of academic disciplines, including psychology, linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science, literature, education, music, and law." Professor Winter's contribution explores the role of metaphor in legal thought, including its pivotal role in the maintenance of governmental accountability central to the ideal of "a government of laws and not of men."
From Amazon.com: "This book analyzes a new phenomenon in international law: international organizations assuming the powers of a national government in order to reform political institutions. After reviewing the history of internationalized territories, this book asks two questions about these 'humanitarian occupations'. First, why did they occur? The book argues that the missions were part of a larger trend in international law to maintain existing states and their populations. The only way this could occur in these territories, which had all seen violent internal conflict, was for international administrators to take charge. Second, what is the legal justification for the missions? The book examines each of the existing justifications and finds them wanting. A new foundation is needed, one that takes account of the missions' authorisation by the UN Security Council and their pursuit of goals widely supported in the international community."
This book provides a clear and concise consideration of the fundamental structure of a crime, including statutory interpretation and sentencing. It has chapters on the typical crimes covered in most criminal law casebooks, namely homicide, rape, assault and battery, and theft. It extends the study to newer forms of crimes, such as criminal enterprises, and includes chapters on accomplice liability, solicitation, attempt and conspiracy. The book covers the traditional defenses seen in criminal law courses and also examines the concept of what is a defense. Cultural defenses and the right to present a defense are included. Many factual examples come from real-world cases. The learning tools used throughout the book provide an overview of the subject, reinforcement of basic principles, and a better understanding of criminal law principles.
From LexisNexis.com: "This book explores in detail those legal issues that arise in counseling, planning, and litigating under the antitrust laws. It is designed to integrate theory and policy issues with doctrine and practice so that students will emerge with a fundamental grasp of antitrust doctrine, at least an introduction to the vagaries of antitrust practice, and a sensitivity to policy issues undergirding the application and enforcement of the antitrust laws. The Fourth Edition of Antitrust Law: Policy and Practice provides close coverage of the application of antitrust doctrine to cutting-edge technologies, the Internet, and to rapidly shifting markets."
Law students, perhaps more than the population at large, tend to be visual learners. Visualizing Secured Transactions takes the text of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (and related statutes) and puts them into the form of easily-understandable charts to facilitate comprehension of this technical commercial subject.
American military women are increasingly exposed to combat risks, and opposition to Pentagon policy barring women from ground-combat specialties is becoming louder. Co-ed Combat examines assumptions underlying arguments for sexual integration of combat units in light of physical and psychological differences between the sexes. Differences in the functioning of all-male and mixed-sex groups – coupled with these physical and psychological sex differences – suggest that inclusion of women in combat units will lead to a weaker military.
This book summarizes key legal and policy issues for 65 wide-ranging topics related to HIV/AIDS. The book shows how laws and regulations can either underpin or undermine good public health programs and responsible personal behaviors. It provides relevant �practice examples� (citing from actual laws and regulations) and offers selective lists of references. Laws relating to many areas of our lives--from intimate personal conduct to international travel--can contribute to stigma, discrimination, and exclusion, or can help remedy these inequities. In order to create a supportive legal framework for responding to HIV/AIDS, it is important that governments effectively address gaps and other problematic aspect in their legislation and regulatory systems.
The standby letter of credit is a commercial bank product critical to the financing of domestic commerce. The commercial letter of credit plays a critical role in trans-Pacific and North-South trade.

This book provides an introduction to issues arising in international and transnational crimes, giving students a broader perspective on a developing area of the law. The book also provides faculty and students with material from domestic and international sources. It builds on a number of subjects treated in the traditional criminal law class, such as mens rea, actus reus, accomplice and conspiratorial liability, and defenses, by analyzing three subjects of current interest: transnational crimes, terrorism, and genocide.
Scientific evidence is crucial in a burgeoning number of litigated cases, legislative enactments, regulatory decisions, and scholarly arguments. Yet the mechanisms for evaluating scientific evidence are often less than ideal. Evaluating Scientific Evidence explores the question of what counts as scientific knowledge, a question that has become a focus of heated courtroom and scholarly debate, not only in the United States, but in other common law countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.
This casebook offers a grounding in the legal issues that arise in connection with doing business using the Internet. Topics covered include online contracts, government regulation, privacy, trademarks, copyright, consumer protection, spam and other electronic intrusions, liability of Internet service providers, electronic payment systems, and taxation of online commerce.

In our highly mobile and global society, the conflict of laws has been transformed from a fairly esoteric doctrine to a fact of everyday legal practice. In this book, the author explains how the conflict of laws is applied in a variety of situations with which lawyers must deal. It summarizes the different approaches that are followed by the courts in conflicts cases and the likely outcomes in the various fact-law patterns that present themselves in actual cases.
As a contribution to Mexican competition law, Professor Calkins's co-authored Antitrust Nutshell has been translated into Spanish by the Mexican Competition Commission, USAID, and the U.S. Embassy in Mexico.
This 600-page book provides a thorough introduction to all of antitrust law and economics. It looks both backward to history and forward to future developments, reviewing all of the major cases and issues. It provides context, doctrine, and analysis. The authors include a former and the current General Counsel to the Federal Trade Commission.
This book introduces students to commercial law and provides a modicum of Uniform Commercial Code learning. Much of the text emphasizes principles rather than the rules of commercial law. This emphasis is appropriate because the principles endure, whereas the rules change from state to state and time to time. The book, nevertheless, is full of rules, with lots of practical applications.
This collection revisits Nobel Prize-Winning economist Kenneth Arrow's classic 1963 essay "Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care" in light of the many changes in American health care since its publication. Coming from diverse backgrounds � economics, law, political science and the health care industry -- the contributors use Arrow's article to address an array of present-day health policy questions, ranging from insurance and technological innovation, to the role of charity, self-regulation and non-profit status.
This book exposes students to how legal transactions involved in a single white collar crime case can require consideration of substantive criminal law, criminal procedure, administrative procedure, corporate law, evidence, civil procedure, sentencing law, and highly specialized regulatory law. It provides a unique combination of traditional materials (cases and statutes) and not-so-traditional materials (e.g., newspaper articles, forms, and practice manuals). Coverage includes traditional mail fraud, RICO (Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations), and computer fraud legislation.
This student text provides a completely up-to-date treatment of the Uniform Commercial Code, including the recent revisions in Article 9. The material is presented in a problem and answer format. The first edition of this book was based on problems that Professor Dolan had been using with his students for a number of years. Last year, the publisher asked him to update the work, and Professor Dolan invited four commercial law teachers across the country to join him in the effort.
Does biology help explain why women, on average, earn less money than men? Is there any evolutionary basis for the scarcity of female CEOs in Fortune 500 companies? According to Kingsley Browne, the answer may be yes. Biology at Work brings an evolutionary perspective to bear on issues of women in the workplace: the "glass ceiling," the "gender gap" in pay, sexual harassment, and occupational segregation.

In 1998, copyright lobbyists succeeded in persuading Congress to enact laws greatly expanding copyright owners' control over the private uses of their works. The efforts to enforce these rights have resulted in highly publicized legal battled between established media and upstart Internet companies such as Napster. In this book, Prof. Litman questions whether copyright laws crafted by lawyers and their lobbyists really make sense for the rest of us. Winner of WSU Board of Governors Faculty Recognition Award for 2002/03.
From Amazon.com: "This book considers how the post-Cold War democratic revolution has affected international law. Traditionally, international law said little about the way in which governments were chosen. In the 1990s, however, international law has been deployed to encourage transitions to democracy, and to justify the armed expulsion of military juntas that overthrow elected regimes. In this volume, leading international legal scholars assess this change in international law and ask whether a commitment to democracy is consistent with the structure and rules of the international legal system."

It subjects the recognition controversies of the United Nations era to a systematic examination, informed by theoretical and comparative perspectives on governmental legitimacy."
In this ground-breaking study, taken on the initiative of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Thomas M Franck and Gregory H Fox explore the use of international law decisions by national courts. They provide in-depth materials for answers to such critical and practical questions as: To what extent do national judges treat the decision of their international colleagues as binding or persuasive? Do national judges regard the outcomes of international decisions as res judicata? As evidence of law or fact? Their analysis and conclusions constitute a valuable assessment of the role of international law in the legal cultures of today's nations.

Dividend Stocks That Could Make You Rich - 45024 views
Companies are continuing to increase their dividends, and it's not in just one or two industries. The dividend-raisers last week were all across several sectors and industries, including the shipping, oil, computer and financial industries.
Stockpickr has reviewed all the dividend-payers for the week and compiled a list of the top dividend-raisers.
A stock with one of the biggest dividend increases is Nordic American Tanker Shipping (NAT), which boosted its quarterly dividend by 36%. This crude oil tanker company reported that its second-quarter earnings rose an incredible 70% to $1.60 per quarter, aided by the higher rates for its vessels; however, its results were below analysts' expectations. The stock has a P/E of 25.5 and a yield of 16.1%.
Nordic shows up in the Stockpickr portfolio called Shipping Dry Bulk, which lists various types of shipping companies. Other stocks in the portfolio include Excel Maritime Carriers (EXM), with a yield of 1.9%; Aegean Marine Petroleum Network (ANW), with a yield of 0.1%; and Diana Shipping (DSX), with a 11.5% yield.
Another dividend-raiser is Badger Meter (BMI), which increased its quarterly dividend by 22.2% to 11 cents per share. The manufacturer of flow measurement and control products reported in July that its second-quarter earnings beat analysts' expectation, with a 26% increase in net income. However, the stock was recently downgraded by Boenning & Scattergood from market outperform to market perform. The stock has a P/E of 36, a PEG of 2.53 and a yield of 0.8%.
Badger is owned by the Heartland Value Fund, managed by William J. Nasgovitz, and has had an average annual return of 15.7% over its 22-year history. Heartland also owns Alaska Air Group (ALK), Swift Energy (SFY), and InterDigital (IDCC), none of which pays a dividend.
Illinois Tool Works (ITW) is another dividend-raiser, bumping up its dividend by 11% to 31 cents per share. The company is a manufacturer of steel and plastic strapping, plastic stretch film, paper and plastic products, as well as metal jacketing insulation products, power systems, arc welding equipment, microelectronics products and other industrial products. Its revenues from the latest three months rose 11.4%. The stock has a P/E of 15, a PEG of 1.21 and a yield of 2.5%.
Illinois Tool is favored by Arnold Van Den Berg, chairman of Van Den Berg Management, which was founded in 1974. He has achieved a compound annual return of 15.6% over the last 30 years. Other stocks he likes include Wal-Mart Stores (WMT), with a 1.6% yield; 3M (MMM), with a 2.7% yield; and Wells Fargo (WFC), with a 4.5% yield.

Crossword guilty of defaming Abe Saffron
Page Tools
A Queensland newspaper which published a crossword that called Sydney identity Abe Saffron an underworld figure has been found guilty of defamation by a NSW Supreme Court jury.
Gold Coast Publications ran a crossword in the puzzles page of the Gold Coast Bulletin on January 2, 2004, that asked the question: Who is the Sydney underworld figure nicknamed Mr Sin?
The answer, published in the paper the following day, was Abe Saffron.
Mr Saffron's counsel Clive Evatt today told the four-person jury the crossword had diminished the 83-year-old's reputation in the eyes of the community by implying the well-known Kings Cross nightclub operator was connected with "Sydney's criminal element".
"If it is said that a person is a Sydney underworld figure it means he is a man of the criminal element in Sydney," he told the court.
"Any imputation that suggests a person has offended the moral code of the community is defamatory ... any imputation that tends to lower that person's standing in the community is defamatory."
Mr Evatt said Mr Saffron was entitled to defend his good name, regardless of what had been said about him in the past.
"Even a person with a bad reputation is entitled to protect what reputation he has," he said.
Mr Evatt said the crossword question carried two defamatory imputations that diminished Mr Saffron's public reputation.
"He (Mr Saffron) says to be described as an underworld figure, and to be described as having the nickname 'Mr Sin', has injured his reputation, and would cause people to shun him and avoid him," he said.
"It is a serious matter to describe a person as Mr Sin, it has a deadly effect."
But the jury found the newspaper guilty of only the first imputation, and dismissed allegations "Mr Sin" was defamatory.
Defence counsel Lucy McCallum said the jury had to consider the context of the crossword and the offending statement.
Ms McCallum also argued that newspaper readers visited the puzzles pages for entertainment, and not news.
"Unlike the front page of a tabloid where people are only looking for the news ... we tend to think that since they have turned to the puzzles page the readers approach it from a different perspective and judgment about what's said about a person is suspended," she said.
Justice James Wood will decide on a date to be fixed whether Mr Saffron is entitled to damages.

Good luck getting 26k for 70,xxx miles.
Book value on this car is 28k without the upgrades.
What do you think I can get for it?
Man this is sad. Can't sell an M3 for book value. What a joke. I thought I bought this car for a steal, especially with the upgrades. I thought BMW's hold value! At least not in this forum apparently. I have a few lookers local at 26,500. Wish me luck!
If you do get 26.5 you have done well. :thumbsup:
^^agreed, GLWTS
Free bump for an excellent car. I hope you do get what you want for your car. I'm in the same boat too.
They keep their value if they are not m3's. Most people don't want to pay the high cost to maintain. GLWS. Crazy that ZHP 330's are goin for around the same $ as a ///m. I hope you get what you want for her, and you have a nice list of upgrade's that people want but it suck's that mod's never add to the value.
The M is not a daily driver and not suitable for most people.
A little research will show it is for hardcore drivers (plenty here) but not for the mass. It is not practical for everyday use. I thought about it but decided to get a non-M, which is perfect for me.
here in AUSTRALIA that 2005 m3 would be worth $45000 plus! there isnt that much difference in the value of our currency either. that is a steal!
Shes Beautiful!
A lot of people complain about the high price of ZHP's, but look at it the other way: there is one ZHP for sale right now on this forum, and another linked to via Craigslist, in the same color as this car, with the same mileage or a little less, for $15.5k. I'm not necessarily saying this car is overpriced, but rather that ZHP's are quite a bargain given what you get.
The roughly $10k + M3 premium seems to remain constant across the mileage spectrum, but the actual prices of the cars depend critically on mileage and condition. You CAN pay $22k for a ZHP, but it's going to be mint, and with around 20k miles or less; an M3 with similar mileage in the same condition, especially with ZCP, would almost certainly be at least $32k.
GLWS, but mileage means a lot.
Yeah I noticed when selling and then buying my second M that more than anything mileage, history(accidents or paintwork, service records), and condition determine price. With that said, 05-06s tend to fetch a bit of a premium over older models. I think $26,500 sounds reasonable. I sold my 02 M for $1,500 above kbb private party, but it also had 69k miles and a meticulous service history.
That's absurd...
Exactly why is an M not "practical for everyday use?"
BMW service is expensive for EVERY BMW, so are you saying that NO Bimmer is practical for everyday use? The only real difference here is the Service inspection II and the valve adjustment, but that's not an extreme difference.... around an extra $1000 per 30k miles or so (since every car needs BASIC maintenance)... 33 cents extra per mile than a NON M as far as maintenance is concerned... right?
It all depends on how someone chooses to spend their "daily" lives... in a boring, "economical" grocery getter... or actually EXPERIENCING LIFE in an ///M:thumbup:
The fact that the seller is offering a beautiful car for sale after less than a month of ownership suggests that M3's are not the be all and end all for all drivers.
There are a lot of BMW's that are neither boring, economical grocery getters nor e46 M3's.
Sorry for the hijack.
the practicality for an M3 is different for everyone... Some all day every day... Some weekend joy rides.
Me? All day everyday if I had one.
Bump for my buddy Don's old car. I can vouch for this car all the maintenance is up to date the miles don't show at all! Car is perfect all around!

Smartphones and Tablets
How using mobile technology strategically in your firm can make your team more productive, better managed and improve your ROI.
August 1, 2011
In last month's column, I revealed how mobile technologies can empower your business. In this article, I show you how to use mobile technology to better manage your staff, help them be more productive and improve your return on investment (ROI).
Choose a strategy, choose a problem and solve it. Dashboards, time and billing and invoicing solutions, expense tracking and mobile payroll are a few examples of how accounting applications have been mobilized through Software as a Service (SaaS), browser applications and native applications. You need to develop a strategy that aligns with your business plan's strategy and tactics, by choosing a high-value problem and solving it. However, before you have your organization jump into mobile technology too deeply, think about the controls needed on the data, the devices and the access provided to employees.
Control Procedures
Consider and define key procedures for deploying mobile devices initially and to new employees. How are the devices set up, how do we install applications, how do we keep unwanted applications from being installed? How do we protect and control client data, grant access to our network resources and deploy applications? What happens when we lose a device, terminate an employee, or have a device stolen?
SAS 78 (Statement on Auditing Standards No. 78 is known as "Consideration of Internal Control in a Financial Statement Audit: An Amendment to SAS No. 55) defines control activities as those policies and procedures that help ensure that management directives are carried out. Examples of common control activities found in many small businesses include:
SAS 78 continues by defining the following five interrelated components of internal control (see Figure 1):
CPA firms can also consider control strategies, such as IT general controls and access controls implemented at the SaaS application level to mitigate mobile device risk.
Five Interrelated Components of Internal Control Framework
Falling under the umbrella of accounting controls are four different types of control activities:
Consider implementing and maintaining an effective internal control structure for mobile applications using the four distinct phases.
There are clearly issues using mobile technology, particularly for tablets and smartphones: security of the device and data, screen size, slower data entry on smartphones and tablets, synchronization of files, connectivity, standardized deployment, organization of applications, training, projection limitations, unwanted applications installed by the user, malware and anti-virus protection, application updates, battery life, weight, and theft that triggers security breech reporting are all issues in mobile deployment.
Protection and control of the data, losing a device, terminating an employee or theft can all be risks to firm and client confidential data. Multi-factor authentication, encryption of the device or at a minimum pin codes or swipe patterns should be enabled to protect the data. Security breach laws apply to these mobile devices and you should check your state regulations to help set and comply with your firm's strategy in this area.
Screen size is the key limiting factor. Smartphones have become small enough that they conveniently fit in a pocket or a handbag. Today's tablets are often too heavy or too large to be conveniently carried, but are typically smaller and lighter than most portable computers. Vendors introducing five-inch and seven-inch tablet models argue that the screens are large enough and the units are lighter and more portable than the 10-inch versions. Netbooks may get close to tablets in size and weight if external keyboards are added to a tablet. However, no Netbook today can get close to the battery life or instant-on capability of a tablet, while touch screens are still a notable differentiation. Sensitivity to touch, whether too sensitive or not sensitive enough, is an additional consideration. To do serious work in the field, more speed, a 10-key pad and larger or secondary screens become a factor, leading us to 15" and 17" notebooks and greater weight.
Why Smartphones and Tablets Are Not All That Peachy
Smartphones and tablets are best visualized as content consumption devices and are not very good for data input. Entering data is possible, but you will be much more time efficient on a laptop or desktop than on a tablet. That said, laptops may not be portable or accessible enough for all situations. The touch input for typing may be too slow to be effective. The small screen size and "thumbing" of messages on smartphones may be too cumbersome or time consuming. The weight of a tablet may be too heavy for people with hand problems or arthritis. However, on the whole, the portability and accessibility of smartphones and tablets make them useful tools.
What to Consider Before Investing
Mobile technology cost of ownership is clearly higher than the initial investment of $300 to $900 per device. On-going operational costs for connection contribute to the cost of ownership. Training is not automatic, and must be considered. See the Mobile Deployment Checklist as a starting point of items to consider. Don't fall into the trap of being enamored by the technology. Build a business case for the investment, estimate the costs, identify the risks, and estimate the return.
Acquire a few products, possibly from different vendors and implement your planned applications, test your procedures and internal controls. This developmental sandbox will help you find out what works, what doesn't, what is helpful and what the issues are. Purchasing a few products for testing is usually more effective than reading reviews and research. After everything is working properly, back up, wipe the devices clean and implement from scratch or deploy applications as planned. Test control procedures as if a device has been stolen. Assume an employee has been terminated or just doesn't return to work. How is the mobile device handled? Test the procedure. When all seems to be working as planned, deploy the mobile technology to a test group. Get feedback, improve your processes, change items as needed and then deploy to your team. This process doesn't have to take months or years, but a few weeks or months testing can save thousands of dollars and hours.
While mobile technology can make your team more productive, a well-managed mobile technology can improve your return on investment. Enjoy the sizzle and convenience of mobile technology, but at the end of the day, use the technology to manage the business better, serve clients better and make team member's lives better, and only then will you have a winning formula.

For Clinicians
Thank you for your interest in learning more about our ongoing clinical trials. Below we've included information on our technology as well as details about how you can learn more about clinician and patient participation in clinical trials.
What is the microbiome's role in human health?
Discoveries made over the past decade have radically reshaped clinical understanding of the role that the human microbiome plays in regulating human health. Once seen only in adversarial terms, today the trillions of bacteria that inhabit or live on our bodies are known to play important, beneficial roles in a wide range of biological processes, including resistance to pathogens, regulation of immune function, and energy metabolism.
Seres is leading a paradigm shift in the understanding and treatment of human diseases that result from functional deficiencies of the human microbiome, a condition known as dysbiosis. We believe the microbiome holds great promise for patients whose conditions are not served by current approaches.
How does this new approach to treating disease work?
Rather than take aim at traditional disease targets, our microbiome therapeutics platform is designed to find and fix functional deficiencies that derive from a disrupted microbiome and that that give rise to a given disease. Early data from our lead clinical program in recurrent C. difficile infection suggests that this approach can lead to unprecedented clinical efficacy. Our proprietary discovery and design platform enables us to elucidate how changes in the composition of microbes in a disrupted dysbiotic microbiome relate to alterations in the metabolic and immunological function of the microbiome, and to design and empirically optimize Ecobiotic® drugs that disrupt the diseased microbiome and catalyze the repair of the microbiome, improving health.
Click here to learn more about our microbiome therapeutics platform
Our current clinical disease targets
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI)
Clostridium difficile is a bacteria that can cause unpleasant and sometimes serious symptoms, including diarrhea and stomach pain. CDI is the most common cause of hospital acquired infection in the U.S. and is responsible for the death of approximately 29,000 Americans each year. The incidence of first occurrence is 640,000 to 820,000 patients per year. The risk of recurrence is approximately 25 percent after the primary occurrence, 40 percent after a first recurrence, and more than 60 percent for those who have experienced two or more recurrences.
Ulcerative colitis (UC)
We are currently evaluating SER-287 in patients with mild-to-moderate UC, a serious chronic condition affecting approximately 700,000 individuals in the United States. The disease results in inflammation of the colon and rectum and can result in debilitating symptoms, including abdominal pain, bowel urgency and diarrhea.
Our current clinical trials
Below is a list of the clinical trials we currently have in progress. By clicking on the link, you will be redirected to the page on our website with more information on the clinical trial and how your patients may be able to participate.

- SER-109, ECOSPORTM II Study: An Open-Label Extension of Study SERES-004 Evaluating SER-109 in Patients with Recurrent Clostridium difficile Infection (SERES-005).
- SER-287, SERES-101 Study: A current Phase 1b clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of SER-287 versus placebo, in adults with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) (SERES-101)
- SER-262, SERES-XXX Study: A current Phase 1b study evaluating the safety and efficacy of SER-262 versus placebo, in adults with primary Clostridium difficile infection to prevent recurrence (SER-262)

What are they gonna do with people who reload their own ammo?
And no offense to you, but I hate your state. Its a beautiful place, but the liberals have absolutely destroyed it with their laws.
Carson is one mile from me.
This also mirrors the AB 962 and is a toe-hold for ammo restrictions on law abiding citizens and said bill. This will have NO affect on crime. They've already legislated banning ammo sales from WM and K-mart in this town. :
(from the NRA-ILA)
Carson, California to Consider Ammunition Sales
Registration on Tuesday, July 21!
Please Stand-Up and Make Your Voices Heard!
On Tuesday, July 21, the City of Carson is scheduled to consider an ordinance that would require the registration of all ammunition sales.
The ordinance would also require all ammunition vendors to obtain a license from the City, and would additionally require that all ammunition sales transactions be conducted via a face-to-face transaction, effectively banning mail order and internet purchases of ammunition.
If passed by the City Council next week, the ordinance will go to the desk of Mayor Jim Dear for his consideration.
Please contact Mayor Dear and the Carson City Council TODAY and respectfully voice your opposition to this ordinance.* Contact information can be found below.
Mayor Jim Dear
(310) 952-1700, Ext. 1000
Council Member Elito M. Santarina

Council Member Julie Ruiz-Raber
(310) 952-1700, Ext. 1714
Council Member Mike A. Gipzon
(310) 952-1700
Also, if you are interested in speaking in opposition to the ordinance at the upcoming council meeting and would like to receive talking points, please contact Clint Monfort of Michel and Associates, P.C. at email@example.com.

Copy that-
The restriction bans mail-order of ammo or components.
While I am glad that I live a long way from California, This is some major BS! These poloticians really need to wake up and smell the coffee.

The model seen on the video is not running a dual-core processor yet, which makes the smoothness of the video quite impressive. The browser used in the demo is the same WebKit based version used on the BlackBerry Torch, running through "a Flash compatible environment" although it is not yet optimized. Neale also showed off the "true" multitasking capabilities of the device, and while he did comment a few times that what he was presenting was an early version of PlayBook, his opinion of the tablet? "It is amazing," says the RIM executive. Anyone else agree?
