Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Our hero is mild-mannered Fred Korematsu, an ordinary welder working in a shipyard who transforms into a champion for more than a hundred thousand people. This story follows Korematsu from his all-American childhood in Oakland, California, to his role as a young man in challenging the Internment, to his reopening, as a man in his sixties, the very case he had lost before the Supreme Court of the United States in 1944. "This comic book appeals to both children and young adults, with a very important message delivered within. The story highlights the courage and persistence shown by a young Fred as he challenged the Japanese Internment when his family was ordered to a camp in CA during World War II and continued the battle as an older adult. His determination and final success in spreading the message 'If you have the feeling that something is wrong, don't be afraid to speak up' is one that must be brought home to young readers of today at a time when we are remembering the 10th anniversary of the horror of 9/11. The authors remind us in the opening pages that, like the Japanese families in WWII, Muslim families in America face the fear of discrimination based on religion and race. Young people need more books like Fred T. Korematsu, All American Hero, written in an engaging format to educate them and assure them that one person can make a difference!" -- Cheri Olmstead, 4th Grade Classroom Teacher, Davis, California "This comic book about Fred Korematsu and the lessons of his struggle is a brilliant effort to reach a broader audience. By telling and retelling history in ways which resound with Americans and connecting history to the present, this book is not comic except in design: it offers serious educational value for anyone who reads it." -- Dale Minami, Civil Rights Attorney and Lead Attorney on Korematsu Coram Nobis Team "This is a remarkable publication that provides a history lesson for people of all ages about American hero, Fred Korematsu, who challenged the injustice of internment during World War II and remains an inspiration to all who are victims of misguided government policies and racism. This amazing, accessible children's book is a moving account of the life of Fred Korematsu who stood up to the injustice of internment during World War II. Parents should read this book with their children and experience the life of a true American hero who continues to inspire. The book has particular salience in our post 9/11 world where racism and profiling rear their ugly heads too often. Fred Korematsu's amazing 40-year battle that unearthed the lies that led to the wrongful internment of Japanese Americans during World War II is depicted brilliantly in this comic book. It serves as an inspiration to all of us--young and old--to stand up to injustice and reminds us that the constitution is for all Americans." -- Bill Hing, Professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law "At a time when the general public is finally beginning to see the deadly consequences of bullying in schools, this book helps children embrace our differences, speak out against injustice, and better understand the diversity that strengthens this country." -- Ling Woo Liu, Director, Fred T. Korematsu Institute for Civil Rights and Education "In the long history of our country's constant search for justice, some names of ordinary citizens stand for millions of souls -- Plessy, Brown, Parks. To that distinguished list today we add the name of Fred Korematsu." -- President Bill Clinton on awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Fred Korematsu.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Mastering Legal Analysis and Drafting seeks to emphasize the fundamental structure and methods of legal drafting, which, the authors contend, are grounded in a surprisingly few, elemental rules and techniques of legal analysis and deployment of legal authorities amid relevant facts.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This Understanding treatise provides students with an analysis of the underlying rationales of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the federal Bankruptcy Code as it relates to Article 9, and other relevant state and federal legislation. Familiarity with these rationales is critical for a true understanding of the law of secured transactions. The organization of this text is largely based upon the traditional five-part approach to the law of secured transactions: Scope of the article; Attachment of security interests; Perfection of security interests; Priorities among competing claimants (including extensive treatment of the effects of bankruptcy on security interests); and Enforcement of security interests. In addition, this treatise explains in practical terms the essential elements of different types of secured transactions, giving students a perspective that is crucial to their ability to understand how Article 9 functions in the real world. For example, it describes the structure and use of financing arrangements that are made possible through such techniques as asset-based securitization, mortgage warehouse lending, terminal and field warehousing, financing of accounts, factoring of accounts, and floor planning, as well as other methods of transacting business. The Fifth Edition was necessitated by a significant set of amendments to revised Article 9 promulgated by the sponsors in 2010. The amendments have been enacted in over half the states, with a deferred effective date of July 1, 2013. p> Entries in the Table of Contents include a descriptive word phrase, along with relevant section numbers of the UC and the Bankruptcy Code. The Table of Contents does not cite all the provisions that might be relevant, but only the most fundamental provisions relating to the particular topic. This approach should aid students using the book as a supplemental text by enabling them to find the relevant discussion based on either.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. In this book, Dittfurth uses various means to explain the issues of jurisdiction and procedure that arise in federal courts. The book describes the pertinent rules of as they operate in the processing of a case, and also features hypotheticals, with answers, to enhance the reader's understanding of the role played by a particular rule. In the broad sense, procedure is best understood in relation to the substance of litigation -- that is, to the causes of action, remedies, and defenses that are the heart of a lawsuit. These substantive elements are used to make more understandable the processes used in adjudication. Civil procedure is also useful as an introduction to the information and analytical skills prized in law school. This book gives beginning law students clear explanations of the various legal concepts they must master. An extensive glossary of legal terms is included that explains rather than merely defines those concepts. The most confusing part of a law school initiation comes from the requirement that one learn how law is created and used in courts. A student's undergraduate education prepares him or her for simple research to find so-called "black-letter law." But a different skill -- one that lawyers call legal reasoning, or, more precisely, legal advocacy -- is required before a student understands how an advocate can distinguish an unfavorable legal authority and support the application of a more favorable one.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Like the very popular first edition, this second edition puts the reader in the place of a first-year attorney faced with real life assignments. In doing so, it teaches law students not only how to succeed in law school, but also how to succeed in the practice of law. Using graphics and visual samples, the book shows best practices in both traditional and electronic environments. Speaking to its readers in a straightforward manner, A Lawyer Writes communicates essential skills and theories so that they will be retained for a lifetime of legal practice. There are two significant changes in the second edition of A Lawyer Writes. First, two new chapters have been added: Chapter 17, Client Letters, and Chapter 19, The Transition from Objective to Persuasive Writing. (What was Chapter 17, Professional E-mails, will appear as Chapter 18.) In addition, section 8.3, Applying the Law: Counter-Analyses, has been re-organized, but the content has remained the same. All other updates to the book are smaller edits that fix errors, create consistency, or further clarify an existing idea. A teaching website is available. To request the link and login information, please email meade (at) cap-press (dot) com. The following book reviews are from the first edition. "A Lawyer Writes made a great difference in my teaching this year. The book explains concisely the expectations of lawyers regarding organization of legal analysis and then explicitly shows law students how to meet those expectations. The frequent examples are a great complement to the clear and accessible text." -- Suzanne Rowe, Luvaas Faculty Fellow 2008-09, Director, Legal Research and Writing, Associate Professor of Law, University of Oregon "One of the best parts of A Lawyer Writes is its chapter explaining rules. After my students read that chapter, they really seemed to understand the concept that rules can be stated implicitly in the cases, and that it was their job to make those rules explicit for their readers. The book also provides a number of excellent, easy-to-understand examples in every chapter, which the students found very helpful." -- Alison Julien, Associate Professor of Legal Writing, Marquette University Law School "A Lawyer Writes is the perfect book for the first semester of Legal Writing. It explains the foundations of legal reasoning, illustrates those foundations with practical examples, and is an exemplary model of its own lessons about good legal writing." -- Steve Johansen, Professor of Law, Lewis & Clark Law School. …

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The National Jurist featured Plain English for Lawyers in its August 2021 list of "Three Books to Read During Law School," saying, "This one speaks for itself. The book is a quick punch of information: it provides helpful tips to improve your legal writing while familiarizing you with many of the terms of art you are likely to see down the road as a legal professional." Wydick's Plain English for Lawyers--now in its fifth edition--has been a favorite of law students, legal writing teachers, lawyers, and judges for almost 40 years.

"I found this book to be a pleasure to read, and I thoroughly recommend it as an excellent text that may be used in introductory courses on the subject, or simply as an interesting volume for use by anyone who might have a personal interest in learning more about this fascinating area of study." -- Roxana Ferllini, University College London, Reviews, on the first edition "It is unique among most available books on this subject, placing forensic anthropology within the broader context of forensic science. In addition to methods of skeletal analysis, the author includes sections on topics such as science and the legal system, the expert witness, chain of custody, the autopsy, and human rights and forensic science. [T]he book should be appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students who are considering careers in forensic science, as well as for forensic scientists who do not have training in forensic anthropology, and as a handy reference for people involved in law enforcement and crime investigation." -- CHOICE Magazine, on the first edition.…
