Habeas corpus law changed dramatically after Congress passed the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) in 1996. This new book provides a comprehensive view of the latest developments in the field and will continue to be supplemented as Congress passes new legislation and as courts try to make sense of how that legislation affects habeas law.After providing a background on the history of habeas corpus and an overview of common habeas corpus claims, the book examines subject matter jurisdiction, habeas corpus litigation, clemency, stays of execution, and innocence. The book concludes by examining the future of habeas corpus litigation.While this book is primarily intended for law students, it will be useful for attorneys specializing in post-conviction and habeas work. It will also be a valuable addition to the libraries of appellate public defenders across the country.

Fiction. Poetry. Drama. Literary Nonfiction. California Interest. Introduction by Anthony Swofford. To an outside observer, north Sacramento, California might seem an unlikely place for a creative writing mecca. The fact that American River College is a state-funded, public education community college might make it seem even more unlikely. And yet American River College has drawn some of the area's most talented creative writers to its halls and has published, for a quarter century, their work in the award-winning American River Review. BURNING THE LITTLE CANDLE, a title borrowed from the poetry of Philip Levine, offers a selection from the work of that creative writing department's faculty and staff including new and previously published work by Lois Ann Abraham, Aaron Bradford, Christian Kiefer, Shane Lipscomb, John Bell, Traci Gourdine, Jason Sinclair Long, Harold Schneider, Michael Angelone, Michael Spurgeon, Rod Siegfried, David Merson, and Emily Hughes. As former American River College student (and Jarhead author) Anthony Swofford writes in his introduction, "go now, read these working and teaching artists. And learn."

Legal educators are increasingly interested in providing students with hands-on experience and with meaningful assessment of their performance. That is especially true in the current law-business context where employers expect newly hired attorneys to be able to practice law from day one. The Bridge to Practice Simulation Series is designed to help law students develop essential skills from the first day of their legal education. This volume in the Series introduces students to important Criminal Law topics. The simulations run the gamut from purposes of punishment, through actus reus, mens rea, causation, mistake of law and fact, homicide, felony murder, rape, self-defense, and accomplice liability, among other topics. The volume is accompanied by a Teachers Manual that explains how a professor can integrate the simulations seamlessly into a traditional Criminal Law class.
