This book defines law as applied politics and examines United States politics, a government created by Founders who did not believe political parties to be necessary. The book is a course whose lectures set out a jurisprudence applicable to civil and scientific as well as common law. The thesis of the course is that an understanding of the role of precedent in the common law explains both the human condition and what has happened to United States law since the decision in Brown v. Board of Education. The use of questions and dialog within the course involves the reader in the development of a jurisprudence grounded in a philosophy of law. About the Author: Jan Ginter Deutsch is the Walton Hale Hamilton Professor Emeritus of Law and Professorial Lecturer in Law at Yale Law School. His subjects are corporations and securities regulations. His books include The Law of Corporations: What Corporate Lawyers Do (with J. Bianco) and Selling the People's Cadillac: The Edsel and Corporate Responsibility. Professor Deutsch was educated at Yale (B.A., LL.B., and Ph.D. in Political Science) with an M.A. from Cambridge.

This book covers the basics of the federal income taxation of partnerships and corporations including the taxation of LLCs, LLPs and S corporations. In addition, it alludes to a short list of other business enterprises. It is designed to be taught as two major components: partnerships and corporations. Both components use the traditional “cradle-to-grave” approach. Because of their practical importance, the book makes reference to Social Security taxes and estate taxes. There is no discussion of State income taxes.Although the book is comparatively short, the materials are dense and are heavily supplemented with problems. The cases have been extensively edited, and most footnotes in the original cases have been eliminated without any explicit reference to the fact of their elimination, other than the words in this paragraph. Case and statute citations of the court and commentators, as well as footnotes, have been omitted without so specifying; numbered footnotes are from the original materials but do not retain the original numbering, except by accident. The book is rich with problems that are scattered along the way, rather than at the end of each chapter. They are not especially difficult and are designed to build confidence while at the same time forcing students to review the central Code provisions and pertinent regulations. The student who completes the courses that the book supports will have a firm grounding in partnership and corporate taxation. The book should be taught in five or six credit hours, on the assumption that students will spend two hours of preparation for each hour in the classroom.

<p>About the book: In November 2006, the United States Treasury released its long-awaited new model income tax treaty. Unfortunately, the differences between the 2006 Model and the 1996 Model it replaced can be difficult to document. The Tax Section of the New York State Bar Association even went so far as to say that "[i]t is not possible to understand what is new except by a painful side-by-side comparison of the two model treaties and the respective technical explanations . . ." The authors address that concern by presenting an integrated copy of the 2006 and 1996 treaties alongside unaltered versions of the two models. Also included, for comparative purposes, is an integrated copy of the 2006 Model and the 2005 OCED model tax treaty. Each article is preceded by highlights of the changes presented, and an appendix provides easy access to the U.S. technical explanation of the 2006 Model and the report of the Joint Committee on Taxation. About the authors: Martin B. Tittle is an international tax attorney who practices in Washington, D.C. and Ann Arbor, Michigan. Reuven S. Avi-Yonah is the Irwin I.

About the book:  The United States Senate described the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act which Congress was about to enact in 1999 in the following words:  The purpose of the bill is to protect consumers and American businesses, to promote the growth of online commerce, and to provide clarity in the law for trade-mark owners by prohibiting the bad-faith and abusive regulation of distinctive marks as Internet domain names with the intent  to profit from the goodwill associated with such marks - a practice commonly referred to as 'cybersquatting.'  B.N.A. reports that while the Act and its administrative counterpart, the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy - the UDRP - have "equalized the playing field" for trademark owners from a jurisdictional standpoint, almost ten years after the passage of the statute, trademark owners still need to keep an eye on domain name abuse.  In this book, and glossary, Professor Maloy focuses on domain name abuse by a cogent presentation of the Act, the UDRP and the legal opinions which have interpreted them. Personal jurisdiction over those who violate the law, in rem jurisdiction, and cyberpiracy protection for individuals, are considered, as is the interesting scenario of those who create domain names just to "gripe."  About the author:  Professor Richard H.W. Maloy holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Dartmouth College, a  Juris Doctor degree from Columbia Law School, and a Master of Laws degree from the University of Miami. During his 34 years of law practice in Miami, Florida he was an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Miami and the author of books on appellate practice, pleadings and bankruptcy. For 25 years he continually updated his 14 volume set of Florida Forms of Practice for the major law book publisher, Matthew Bender & Co. He has been on the faculty of St. Thomas University School of Law in Miami since 1991, and is currently a Visiting Professor of Law at that school, where he teaches Conflict of Laws and Remedies.

<p>A Legal Education Renaissance suggests a model for change and provides answers to criticism of the current system by addressing curriculum, teaching, faculty, and costs. It offers a realistic, achievable solution that fits within the guidelines that govern legal education institutions. The perspectives and recommendations are presented with the intent of encouraging discussion about the future of modern legal education. The proposed legal education model dramatically changes the structure and content of the curriculum, uses modern learning and teaching techniques, changes the makeup of the faculty and reduces costs while addressing the diverse needs of today's students.

The twenty-first century global world order creates fundamental challenges for the American model of legal education. This professional model cannot focus only on one domestic legal system isolated from the rest of the world. American law students need a realistic exposure to a transnational legal perspective in the contemporary global legal environment. This objective can be achieved in three stages. The first step requires a first year introductory course setting the foundation in public and private international law with the fundamental understanding of the comparative law methodology to grasp legal problems and institutions transcending through national boundaries. In the second stage, the transnational perspective should be emphasized in every domestic course, in the expanded coverage of public and private international law, and in the comparative law curriculum. Finally, in the third stage, law students should have the opportunity to apply their transnational learning experience by selecting an intellectually and professionally stimulating topic for academic research. Through this research, the student should focus not only on developing a thesis and writing a research quality seminar paper, but also on the potential for publication of the paper in law reviews and other legal journals. This concise Guide to Legal Research and Writing from the Transnational Perspective can be used as a practical tool in the critical third stage of the transnational legal education process. Concise practical tips will assist students in the research and writing process. Samples of articles written by the author will provide a model for scholarly writing. Professor Francis A. Gabor, is a Professor of Law at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law and a regular visiting professor at the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. He has been teaching in the area of public and private international law and comparative and immigration law. Professor Gabor's research interest is focused on current issues of international trade and investments in Central-Eastern Europe.

Criminal Law: Cases, Materials, and Problems, Second Edition, focuses on basic principles of Anglo-American criminal law and is designed for use in an introductory course in Criminal Law, either in a law school or an undergraduate program in Criminal Justice, taught by teachers who use the case method of instruction. The book includes cases and statutes from various jurisdictions, as well as excerpts from the Model Penal Code. In addition, the author has strategically placed problems throughout the book so students can apply the law set forth in the cases and statutes to new fact situations, thereby allowing them to test their knowledge and reinforce their understanding of the relevant legal principles. The goal of the book is twofold: first, to help students gain an understanding of the general principles of Anglo-American criminal law; second, to aid students to develop their skills in case analysis, statutory interpretation, synthesis of cases, and problem-solving. About the Author: David S. Rudstein is Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Program in Criminal Litigation at Chicago-Kent College of Law, Illinois Institute of Technology, where he has been teaching Criminal Law to first-semester students since 1973.
