Too many laws, too many lawyers--that's the necessary consequence of a complex society, or so conventional wisdom has it. Countless pundits insist that any call for legal simplification smacks of nostalgia, sentimentality, or naiveté. But the conventional view, the noted legal scholar Richard Epstein tells us, has it exactly backward. The richer texture of modern society allows for more individual freedom and choice. And it allows us to organize a comprehensive legal order capable of meeting the technological and social challenges of today on the basis of just six core principles. In this book, Epstein demonstrates how.
The first four rules, which regulate human interactions in ordinary social life, concern the autonomy of the individual, property, contract, and tort. Taken together these rules establish and protect consistent entitlements over all resources, both human and natural. These rules are backstopped by two more rules that permit forced exchanges on payment of just compensation when private or public necessity so dictates. Epstein then uses these six building blocks to clarify many intractable problems in the modern legal landscape. His discussion of employment contracts explains the hidden virtues of contracts at will and exposes the crippling weaknesses of laws regarding collective bargaining, unjust dismissal, employer discrimination, and comparable worth. And his analysis shows how laws governing liability for products and professional services, corporate transactions, and environmental protection have generated unnecessary social strife and economic dislocation by violating these basic principles.
Simple Rules for a Complex World offers a sophisticated agenda for comprehensive social reform that undoes much of the mischief of the modern regulatory state. At a time when most Americans have come to distrust and fear government at all levels, Epstein shows how a consistent application of economic and political theory allows us to steer a middle path between too much and too little.

Examine ways to help prepare young people for a successful transition from group care to community living! How can we best help young people in residential care settings prepare for life “on the outside?” The editors of On Transitions From Group Care: Homeward Bound are devoted to helping answer the question of how providers of residential treatment services can improve the transition process when children in their care are transferred to less restrictive situations. Chapters focus on the challenges of this process when working with sexually aggressive youth, adolescents with behavioral or conduct disorders, and the families of young people in residential care facilities. You'll learn about model transitional living programs, ways to integrate family work into residential care, and programs that focus on social/life-skills training. On Transitions From Group Care: Homeward Bound examines: 
<ul>
<li> a program designed to involve parents and caregivers in the residential treatment and transition process for sexually aggressive youth </li>
<li> diagnosis and placement variables that affect outcomes for adolescents with behavior disorders in an outpatient mental health clinic </li>
<li> the redesigning of an existing residential treatment program to allow parents, caregivers, and the community a much more integral role in each child's residential treatment experience </li>
<li> case studies of children who have participated in the transitional living program at Bellefaire/JCB—a large social service agency for children and families in the Cleveland, Ohio area—with both successful and unsuccessful outcomes </li>
<li> the role of social skills training programs in facilitating successful transitions from residential treatment to community life</li>

On October 5, 2006, two remarkable men delivered their strongest cases in defense of classical liberalism, the political philosophy of the Founding Fathers. Prof. Richard Epstein, a prominent law professor at The University of Chicago, said there is no need to appeal to faith or religion to make the case for limited government. Fr. Robert Sirico, a Roman Catholic priest and president of The Acton Institute, a think tank based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, said religious faith is a necessary element in the case for classical liberalism as well as the success of free societies. This 37-page book is the perfect introduction to classical liberalism for both skeptics and believers. It delivers arguments and ideas that both sides will find compelling, and by placing the cases side-by-side, this book helps each side better understand the ideas and concerns of the other.
