Principles of Evidence provides students with an enriched blend of cases, rules, and scholarly and trial excerpts which connect theory and practice for courtroom evidence. To attain this goal, the authors have supplemented the traditional case method in two significant ways. First, because the law of evidence has engendered a vast and rich literature, the authors have drawn extensively, but selectively, on these scholarly writings to provide the initial insight and sense of perspective on the principles of evidence. Each article excerpts is chosen for its ability to concisely explain the evidentiary rule. Second, the authors have included numerous transcript materials from celebrated trials. These transcript excerpts from cases like the trials of Lizzie Borden, O.J. Simpson, John Scopes, Alger Hiss, the Rosenbergs, Charles Manson, and Sacco and Vanzetti bring evidence theory to life in the courtroom. These excerpts enable students to see how the foundations are laid and objections made.

This edition of Principles of Evidence, dedicated to Professor Irving Younger, honors his teaching philosophy, considered revolutionary at first inception. Younger was a great believer that the law of evidence was best learned in the context in which it was applied. Focusing on the Federal Rules of Evidence, this edition has modernized Younger's materials with new and easily taught cases together with an opportunity to consider the law in a practice situation. Every substantive chapter has a Practice Dimension, which contains a Practice Law Review summarizing the law for quick reference; Tactical and Practical Considerations impacting the choice to utilize such evidence and the receptiveness of the judge to such proffers; and Problems and Questions that require students to apply the law to real world situations. This volume is accompanied by a teacher's manual stating the focus of cases and application and use of the Practice Dimension materials.

In this book two authors in the field of urban studies provide a basic text in urban politics and policy-making, adopting a comparative approach by using empirical material from Britain and the USA to highlight general similarities, contrasts and trends common to most western urbanized countries. It examines the role played by urban political systems in determining the welfare, in the broadest sense of urban residents and how urban well-being is affected by factors other than urban government, such as the private market system, national government and wider political attitudes. It examines the impact upon urban residents of the intergovernmental environment, the scope and function of urban government and the mutual interpretation of urban and national political systems.

Urban Politics and Policy: A Comparative Approach

Wolman, Harold

Blackwell Pub.

In this refreshing and much needed text, Michael Goldsmith and Harold Wolman present a new approach to the study of urban politics which will be welcomed by students and teachers alike. Focusing on the effects of urban politics upon the well-being of urban residents, the authors examine the institutions, processes and policies which help to shape the lives of all city-dwellers. Drawing on cross-national data throughout, the differing cases of the United States and Britain are used to illuminate each other and to support a better understanding of the role of contemporary urban politics in the creation or destruction of urban well-being. Beginning with an introduction to urban politics as a field of study, successive chapters then survey the theories developed to describe or justify different models of local government; the definition of urban well-being; the nature of urban societies; and the role of local governments within the national system of intergovernmental relations. The scope and function of urban government activity is then set within the broad context of citizen demands and the role of individuals in local politics. Finally, the authors examine urban politics in action: in the policy process, in decision making, and in the outcomes of urban policies.
