Standing for Reason: The University in a Dogmatic Age

A powerful case for the importance of universities as an antidote to the “secular dogmatism” that increasingly infects political discourse John Sexton argues that over six decades, a “secular dogmatism,” impenetrable by dialogue or reason, has come to dominate political discourse in America. Political positions, elevated to the status of doctrinal truths, now simply are “revealed.” Our leaders and our citizens suffer from an allergy to nuance and complexity, and the enterprise of thought is in danger. Sexton sees our universities, the engines of knowledge and stewards of thought, as the antidote, and he describes the policies university leaders must embrace if their institutions are to serve this role. Acknowledging the reality of our increasingly interconnected world—and drawing on his experience as president of New York University when it opened campuses in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai—Sexton advocates for “global network universities” as a coreaspect of a new educational landscape and as the crucial foundation-blocks of an interlocking world characterized by “secular ecumenism.”

The Tenth Edition of this popular casebook explores cutting edge issues and incorporates new Supreme Court cases that impact subject-matter jurisdiction (Grable), pleading (Twombly), joinder (Pimentel), and other important topics, and also explores the effect of recent federal statutes such as the Class Action Fairness Act. The casebook covers all of the major topics that a professor might wish to teach in a first-year course, and can easily be adapted for courses of one- or two-semesters, of different credit hours, and with varied practical or theoretical emphases.

The Compact Tenth Edition of this popular casebook is designed for a one-semester course in Civil Procedure of three- or four-credit hours. The shortening of the materials found in the larger Tenth Edition and the elimination of certain chapters reflect the authors' judgments concerning what should be the central themes of a Civil Procedure course. The authors continue to believe that the larger Tenth Edition will prove advantageous for many teachers who have shorter courses of even three hours because it provides the maximum flexibility in terms of coverage, depth, and emphasis. Like the larger Tenth Edition, the Compact Tenth Edition reflects the restyled Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, incorporates new Supreme Court cases that impact such topics as pleading, subject-matter jurisdiction, and joinder, and is designed to be accompanied by the authors' latest Civil Procedure Supplement. This title is accompanied by a Teacher’s Manual. This 650 page book has 16 chapters

Civil Procedure 2013-2014 Supplement for use with all Pleading and Procedure Casebooks (American Casebook Series)

This handbook, created law students, paralegals, professional fiduciaries and lawyers, offers a detailed, comprehensive treatment of the basic rules and principles of civil procedure. All of the subjects covered are likely to be presented in first year law school courses in civil procedure. It teaches what civil procedure is and how it is used in a court of law. Civil procedure is a system consisting of a set of general elements, devices and policies. Topics are presented as they occur in civil law practice: subject matter and personal jurisdiction and challenges to it; framing the issues to be tried; the parties; discovery; pretrial conference; trial preparation and process; verdicts and judgments: their binding effect, enforcement and review on appeal. The last chapter addresses specialized civil proceedings including class actions, derivative lawsuits and interpleader actions.

It’s summer and election fever is running high! Sharyn is running against ex-sheriff Roy Tarnower and the good old boy network that’s always run Diamond Springs. Having two unsolved murders and a shooting doesn’t help her image. It seems like a crime wave to the small town.
Senator Caison Talbot is one of Sharyn’s least favorite people, even though he’s engaged to marry her mother. Yet, when he’s accused of murder and a long forgotten secret in his past is revealed, she finds herself in the difficult position of defending him and looking for the truth.
Suddenly, Sharyn has more on her hands than she ever thought possible. Roy’s ahead in the polls. Sharyn’s sister is picked up for shoplifting. And Nick has decided that it’s time to be more than friends.
