This book collects and reprints twenty-five funny law review articles from the past fifty years. If "funny" and "law review article" sound like an oxymoron when used in the same sentence, that's only because you've never taken time to wonder: how law students might have written the Gettysburg Address; whether the Framers deserved Legal Writing credit hours for the Constitution; or how many footnotes can be crammed into one sentence (via The World's Greatest Law Review Article). The articles are arranged in five categories: Law Students, Law Professors, Lawyers, Judges, and Legal Scholarship. Also included is a comprehensive bibliography of legal humor. The cover is an original cartoon by noted artist Alan Gerson. Great gift for any student or practitioner of the law needing a lighter look at the legal side of life.

This three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version of the hardbound book is printed on 8 ½ x 11 inch paper with wider margins and the same pagination – offered at a substantially lower price than the hardbound book. 
This new casebook rests on a straightforward premise: The First Amendment can be viewed as history, as policy, and as theory, but from a lawyer's perspective, it is above all law--albeit a special kind of law. One thing that is special is that the governing texts have receded into the background. The law is the cases, and the cases are the law. Close analysis of precedent is therefore the principal tool of argumentation and adjudication. The purpose of this casebook is to help students to learn the law in a way that will enable them to use it in the service of clients. 
 Several features of the book promote this goal. The cases are edited with a relatively light hand. Notes and questions provide guidance in working with the opinions. The structure of the book--closely tracking the structure that the Supreme Court has imposed--helps to reinforce learning. Non-case materials (including drafts and memoranda from the Justices' private papers) are used to shed light on what was established by existing precedents and how a new decision changes (or does not change) the law. By giving primacy to the Justices' won words and the Court's own doctrinal structure, the book offers maximum flexibility for teachers to place their own imprint on the course.

This edition promises to redefine the canon of the study of appellate courts, continuing the comprehensiveness and increasing the depth of the First Edition. This edition of Appellate Courts provides teachers with choices that are suitable for a two- or three-unit course or a seminar. The book permits emphasis on either appellate jurisdiction and practice or on the structural and policy aspects of appellate court organization and administration. All the chapters have been revamped and updated, with coverage of appellate jurisdiction substantially expanded. Using both classic and new cases, the book examines theoretical and practical issues arising from the appellate courts' dual roles to correct trial court error and to generate common law. Its coverage of the dramatic rise in the volume of appeals and the resultant institutional reforms far surpasses that of any other law school course book. Fresh materials present new perspectives on appellate structures, personnel, and procedures--preparing students to practice in the contemporary state and federal appellate courts. This provocative book considers such issues as the delegation of responsibility to law clerks and staff attorneys, the threats to judicial collegiality, the selection of state and federal judges--including the regulation of judicial candidates' speech, and the role and ethics of the appellate lawyer. It devotes a separate chapter to the U.S. Supreme Court's discretionary jurisdiction while another chapter draws upon Professor Meador's unique understanding of the English and German appellate systems to contrast those systems with our own. In short, this book is unique in not only exploring appellate jurisdiction and procedure but also in taking the measure of the appellate courts in all their dimensions as important institutions in the American legal order. The Teacher's Manual also has been updated and greatly expanded to assist both experienced and less-experienced teachers. It includes discussion of the principal cases and secondary materials as well as expert suggestions concerning answers to questions posed in the Notes. It also provides a wealth of supplemental material to bolster any professor's expertise and make it easy for an instructor new to the subject to teach from the book effectively and confidently.

Another such victory would ruin the British army. These were the words Charles James Fox used before the House of Commons when news reached London of the battle the British forces had won at Guilford Courthouse, North Carolina. Here is a lively and detailed account of the victory of March 15, 1781, that devastatingly weakened the British, started Cornwallis on the road to Yorktown and ultimately led to surrender.
