Book Synopsis Lawyers, Guns, and Money by : Carol X. Vinzant
Download or read book Lawyers, Guns, and Money written by Carol X. Vinzant and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspiring book, Lawyers, Guns, and Money by Carol X. Vinzant, recounts the heroic efforts of Tom McDermott, a lawyer and victim of the infamous Colin Ferguson rampage on the Long Island Railroad, to take on the gun industry. He is among the leaders of an innovative and promising strategy to circumvent the NRA's political power and courts constrained by interpretations of the Second Amendment. Through civil action he hits the gun companies where it hurts most: the bottom line. Making insurance difficult for manufacturers to get, he has helped reduce the number of cheap hand guns, "Saturday Night Specials," often used in crime. This is a riveting account of tragedy turned into action, and how the law can be used to defend victims rather than enrich corporations.
Book Synopsis If It Flies, Floats, or Flirts...Turn the Page by : David Alan Cohen
Download or read book If It Flies, Floats, or Flirts...Turn the Page written by David Alan Cohen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A humorous and engaging account of the bored and dysfunctional very rich who subscribe to this lifestyle and the obvious pitfalls that ensue, as shared by the author, who has been an employee and confidant to these participants for decades. The flies, floats, and flirts lifestyle of Harp, who prefers to rent women with his famous tagline of how much, how long, and when do we get started, is compared to that of Herschel, a wealthy industrialist from the Great White North. They fly their own seaplanes, are married, with children and grandchildren, and addicted to male erectile dysfunction medicine. Herschel enjoys companionship, be it for a week or a month, introducing these women as the girlfriend, much to the chagrin of his suspicious wife, Sadie, who knows he is doing this but cant prove it. Harp cuts to the chase for sex, while Herschel entertains the women in his fleet of aircraft, hoping to score with the multi-mile-high club in his jet and savor a victory at sea in the seaplane. His family fears for their inheritance with each new girlfriend he acquires. The author has worked for other wealthy males who fly their own aircraft but can only flirt with women. Acting as tough alpha males within their own peer group, they are spineless at the thought of losing their fortunes should they ever get caught. Insanely jealous of Harp and Herschel, they lavish exorbitant sums of money on their aircraft and boats, which have become their mistresses.

Book Synopsis You Have the Right to Remain Innocent by : James J. Duane
Download or read book You Have the Right to Remain Innocent written by James J. Duane and published by Little a. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An urgent, compact manifesto that will teach you how to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future when talking to police. Law professor James J. Duane became a viral sensation thanks to a 2008 lecture outlining the reasons why you should never agree to answer questions from the police--especially if you are innocent and wish to stay out of trouble with the law. In this timely, relevant, and pragmatic new book, he expands on that presentation, offering a vigorous defense of every citizen's constitutionally protected right to avoid self-incrimination. Getting a lawyer is not only the best policy, Professor Duane argues, it's also the advice law-enforcement professionals give their own kids. Using actual case histories of innocent men and women exonerated after decades in prison because of information they voluntarily gave to police, Professor Duane demonstrates the critical importance of a constitutional right not well or widely understood by the average American. Reflecting the most recent attitudes of the Supreme Court, Professor Duane argues that it is now even easier for police to use your own words against you. This lively and informative guide explains what everyone needs to know to protect themselves and those they love.

Book Synopsis The Formation of Professional Identity by : Patrick Longan
Download or read book The Formation of Professional Identity written by Patrick Longan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-18 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming a lawyer is about much more than acquiring knowledge and technique. As law students learn the law and acquire some basic skills, they are also inevitably forming a deep sense of themselves in their new roles as lawyers. That sense of self – the student’s nascent professional identity – needs to take a particular form if the students are to fulfil the public purposes of lawyers and find deep meaning and satisfaction in their work. In this book, Professors Patrick Longan, Daisy Floyd, and Timothy Floyd combine what they have learned in many years of teaching and research concerning the lawyer’s professional identity with lessons derived from legal ethics, moral psychology, and moral philosophy. They describe in depth the six virtues that every lawyer needs as part of his or her professional identity, and they explore both the obstacles to acquiring and deploying those virtues and strategies for overcoming those impediments. The result is a straightforward guide for law students on how to cultivate a professional identity that will allow them to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and to flourish as individuals.

For between the two men is a chasm of shame, family lies, and secrets—including the one secret that could save Sam Cayhall’s life . . . or cost Adam his.
Download or read book Lawless written by Kimberley Motley and published by Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 2008 Kimberley Motley quit her job as a public defender in Milwaukee to join a program that helped train lawyers in war-torn Afghanistan. She was thirty-two at the time, a mother of three who had never travelled outside the United States. What she brought to Afghanistan was a toughness and resilience which came from growing up in one of the most dangerous cities in the US, a fundamental belief in everyone's right to justice and an unconventional legal mind that has made her a legend in an archaic, misogynistic and deeply conservative environment. Through sheer force of personality, ingenuity and perseverance, Kimberley became the first foreign lawyer to practise in Afghanistan and her work swiftly morphed into a mission - to bring 'justness' to the defenceless and voiceless. She has established herself as an expert on its fledgling criminal justice system, able to pivot between the country's complex legislation and its religious laws in defence of her clients. Her radical approach has seen her successfully represent both Afghans and Westerners, overturning sentences for men and women who've been subject to often appalling miscarriages of justice. Inspiring and fascinating in equal measure, Lawless tells the story of a remarkable woman operating in one of the most dangerous countries in the world.

Described as “superb” and “inspiring” in a foreword by Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, Civil Rights Enforcement, Second Edition dives deeply into doctrines concerning the enforcement of civil rights via private civil actions and the aspects of those doctrines of most importance to those litigating in the field. Organized as a litigator might think through a case, the book provides students with rich, detailed hypothetical problems to which they can apply what they are learning. Alongside these practice-focused elements, the book’s notes, questions, and topic transitions push students to grapple with strategic questions about impact litigation and the role of civil rights litigation in constitutional enforcement, as well as with theoretical questions about tradeoffs between the values of federalism and judicial review and the relationship between rights and remedies. New to the 2nd Edition: Up-to-date coverage of major developments—including the national reckoning on race and policing after George Floyd’s murder, COVID-19 prison conditions litigation, laws like Texas S.B. 8 designed to evade pre-enforcement challenges, new Bivens decisions, limitations on damages under Titles VI and IX, and the momentous Supreme Court term ending June 2022 Two new chapters on constitutional claims often brought against police or in custodial settings—including under the 4th and 8th Amendments and substantive and procedural due process—to explore how enforcement documents shape constitutional law and vice versa, and to facilitate coverage of topics that often fall through the cracks in constitutional law curricula Expanded coverage of major topics, including: Standing (organizational standing; defining an injury; policing and injunctive relief; pre-enforcement challenges) Qualified immunity (the reform movement; sources of “clearly established law”; the obviousness exception; private-actor applications) Municipal liability (custom; failure to supervise; applications of the “final policymaker” theory; the interaction of qualified immunity and failure to train) Statutory causes of action (42 U.S.C. § 1985; Title VII; ADA; Rehabilitation Act) And more! (COVID-19 conditions; modern school district boundary fights; applications of the Heck bar; expansion of sovereign immunity; the evolution of supervisory liability) New and expanded Applications sections exploring recent trends in appellate courts 10 new hypothetical problems Benefits for instructors and students: Detailed hypothetical problems with multi-layered fact patterns, including hypothetical statutes, precedents, and litigation documents (many based on actual cases) Application notes focusing on how civil rights enforcement doctrines work in practice, what incentives they create, prominent appeals court decisions, and areas of the current controversy Prologue (and follow-up notes throughout) grounding the material in the history of the civil rights movement and the practice of impact litigation Commentary and questions situating the doctrines covered within broader theoretical debates about the role of the federal courts and the gap between rights and remedies Detailed coverage of statutory civil rights enforcement, including comparisons to constitutional enforcement A focus on doctrines most relevant to practice Consideration of the role (or, in many instances, critical absence) of racial justice in the development and implications of civil rights laws and enforcement doctrines Rigorous case editing to highlight key issues and avoid unnecessarily sprawling excerpts Charts and illustrations of the more complex doctrines A consistent focus on doctrines of rights enforcement (as opposed to the content of various rights)—providing the book with a unifying theme and marking out a field of study distinct from Constitutional Law, Criminal Procedure, and Employment Discrimination
