TV tie-in to accompany the prime-time BBC documentary on the criminal underworld of Boston, focusing on the famous Charles Stuart case. 
With unparalleled access to the detectives, defendants, and prosecutors, Sean Flynn takes readers behind the closed doors of the Boston District Attorney's office to reveal the life-and-death world of crime and punishment in Boston. 
This is a story not only about the city's unprecedented war on crime, now lauded as the "Boston Miracle," but also about a black man in a white man's city: a prosecutor whose father was the prime suspect in the murder of his mother. 
Other stories covered include, the Charles Stuart case and the terrible warehouse fire that killed six Massachusetts firefighters in December 1999. Here are riveting stories of the policemen who have fought Boston's well-documented battles from the crime scenes to the courtrooms to the jailhouse cells. 
Flynn follows detectives who should be jaded into indifference, but instead slog through their moldering cold case files to get their man. He profiles the prosecutors and defense attorneys who walk a moral tightrope between justice and compassion when dealing with children who kill.

How Russians, the Rich and the Government Try to Prevent Free Speech and How to Stop Them. 'ESSENTIAL' Amal Clooney 'AUTHORITATIVE' Sir Geoffrey Bindman KC 'IMPORTANT 'Baroness Helena Kennedy KC 'COULD HARDLY BE MORE TIMELY' Alan Rusbridger The British tradition of "free speech" is a myth. From the middle ages to the present, the law of defamation has worked to cover up misbehaviour by the rich and powerful, whose legal mercenaries intimidate investigative journalists. Now a new terror has been added through misguided judicial development of the laws of privacy, breach of confidence and data protection, to suppress the reporting of truths of public importance to tell. Drawing upon the author's unparalleled experience of defending journalists and editors in English and Commonwealth courtrooms over the past half-century, the book describes the hidden world of lawfare, in which authors struggle against unfair rules that put them always on the defensive and against a costs burden that runs to millions. Law schools do not teach freedom of speech and judges in the Supreme Court do not understand it. This book identifies and advocates the reforms that will be necessary before Britain can truly boast that it is a land of free speech, rather than a place where free speech can come very expensive.

In "Assault at West Point", John F. Marszalek, the highly acclaimed author of "Sherman: A Soldier's Passion for Order", has written a dramatic account of one of the most momentous trials in American history. Set in the 1880s, this riveting story focuses on Whittaker, a former slave who became the third black to enter West Point. Like his two predecessors, he was ostracized for the entire three years of his training. One morning Whittaker didn't show up for drill. He was found in his room, unconscious, tied tightly to the bed, with blood streaming from his head. In a trial that received major attention from the press, Whittaker was accused of faking the crime to get sympathy from the public and from his professors. Author Marszalek weaves his rich narrative from historical records to tell how Whittaker sought justice against all odds. Now the basis if the Showtime original movie "Assault at West Point", this compelling work brings to life a case that rocked the country and involved the highest reaches of power-- and vividly demonstrates the impact of racism on teh fabric of American society.

Taking a dynamic -- and very contemporary -- approach to Legal business studies, this text covers introductory topics, private law, and public law -- but offers an alternative to the traditional method of case analysis. It emphasizes the importance of incorporating a questioning dimension into legal reasoning -- one which involves critical thinking and the consideration of the impact of values (ethics) on the outcome being considered. It outlines an authoritative step-by-step model for critical thinking/ethical analysis, and gives students hands-on opportunities to develop these skills.
