Alaskan Wilderness Stories - After forty-odd years of wandering the trackless mountains, sailing the turbulent seas, scaling towering mountains and braving the terrors of saloon filled with drunken fishermen and loggers, Robert Parish compiled the tales that fill this book. You ll find that most of the adventures were the result of circumstances that many have seem trivial at the time. Some were the result of over-confidence, some carelessness and some were foolhardy. Underlying it all is the every-lurking, ever-ever savage Alaskan weather that can sweep in so viciously and so unexpectedly. Parish wrote these epics in courage to honor the Alaskan spirit, the indomitable will to survive and the tenacity displayed by each of the players.

If an informed citizenry is to meaningfully participate in government or at least understand why government acts affecting their daily lives are taken, the process of decision making as well as the end results must be conducted in full view of the governed. from Oklahoma Ass'n of Municipal Attorneys v. State, 577 P.2d 1310, 1313-14 (Okla. 1978). Open Meeting Laws 2d is a national treatise covering all 50 states laws. It is the complete open meeting law reference. Open meeting laws typically apply to all elected officials and the subordinate groups created by them. The publication of Open Meetings Laws 2d is sponsored by International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA). By the publication in 1994 of Open Meeting Laws, Ann Taylor Schwing made a substantial down payment towards the cost of insuring that our fundamental freedoms survive. With this, an updated, second edition of that work, Ms. Schwing reprises that contribution. Ann Taylor Schwing has significantly elevated the democratic values of government openness, responsiveness and accountability . . . .

Open any newspaper and you are likely to find stories of financial scandals, frauds and questionable ethical behavior in the business and professional worlds. The latest and lasting scandals in corporate America touched the highest level of corporate management and professional firms raising the question of whether business leaders are being taught the value of trust and honesty. Yet the very fabric of our economic prosperity and social stability are woven with trust and honesty. Distrust and dishonesty are not new. However, we appear to be at a tipping point where we run the risk of a culture that accepts and justifies corporate abuse of trust and dishonesty. The consequences include higher costs, slower growth and less freedom. The goal of these course materials is to help students and seasoned practitioners recognize the ease with which trust and honesty can be lost, understand the impact of the business environment and social culture on trust and honesty, and explore measures to reinforce and, if necessary, restore trust and honesty in the business world. These course materials are founded on Trust and Honesty, American's Business Culture at a Crossroad (Frankel, 2006). The centerpiece of each module in this book is a case study drawn from actual business experience. Assigned readings from Trust and Honesty provide context for each teaching module. The case study assessments and discussions are used to highlight and illustrate the issues in more specific and practical terms. They demonstrate the complexity and indeterminacy of the issues. Role plays are provided with each module to provide the students with opportunities to test their ideas, simulate real life situations, manage tradeoffs and build consensus with their peers.

Fiduciaries appear in many laws, such as contract, tort, corporate law, agency, partnership, criminal law, employment law, property law. But rarely are the policies of the fiduciary law examined as such, and rarely are fiduciaries examined together in a systematic manner. This book offers a study of the fiduciary family members and the different rules that govern them.
 Even though fiduciary relationships are embedded in many legal categories, somehow they do not find a comfortable home in any category. Further, as diverse as fiduciary law is in terms of the contexts in which it arises, it is quite cohesive in terms of the problems it addresses, the principles it presents, and the solutions it mandates. The seemingly disparate rules, applicable to different types of fiduciaries, are in fact consistent with one another, reflecting the costs of verifying the fiduciaries statements and monitoring the fiduciaries actions. In a changing environment, a view of the foundations of fiduciary law helps shape fiduciary rules to new situations or relieve existing situations from legal restrictions. A study of fiduciary law assists students in predicting who the new members in the fiduciary family are likely to be, and which of the existing ones will die out.
 The book offers students a short survey of fiduciary law in time (from Hammurabi's Code 3,000 years ago) and in space (Europe, UK, Japan, China, Taiwan) and the concept of trust. The style of this book is a somewhat closer to books used in practice. In addition, it contains questions and problems drawn from newspapers, novels and other story sources that, when analyzed, reveal fiduciary relationships.

Legal Duties of Fiduciaries examines the structure, principles, themes and objectives of fiduciary law. Law is populated by fiduciaries. They appear in contract, tort, corporate law, agency, partnership, criminal law, environmental law, employment law, property and procedure, and constitutional law. Like family members, fiduciaries are similar yet distinct. Rarely are fiduciaries viewed as a group in a systematic manner. The purpose of this book is to study them together and examine fiduciary law's reach and its limits as one category.
