International Litigation and Arbitration, 3d edition

Thomas E. Carbonneau and William E. Butler

From the publisher: "These materials introduce students to the processes for resolving international commercial disputes. The focus is exclusively upon judicial and arbitral adjudication, and the text endeavors to expose students to the comparative advantages and disadvantages of each. While arbitration is not a perfect process, it does far better than municipal trial systems in establishing an international rule of law for commerce and commercial transactions. The treatment of traditional problems—such as jurisdiction, proof of foreign law, and trans-border evidence-gathering—is comprehensive and thorough. The materials consistently address the practical issues that attend the international representation of clients, as well as ... Read more
Insurance Law and Practice: Cases, Materials, and Exercises, 2d

Chris French

The casebook covers traditional Insurance Law topics such as insurance contract formation ... Read more

Proportionality Balancing and Constitutional Governance: A Comparative and Global Approach

Jud Mathews and Alec Stone Sweet

From the publisher:

In this book, Alec Stone Sweet and Jud Mathews focus on the law and politics of rights protection in democracies, and in human rights regimes in Europe, the Americas, and Africa. After introducing the basic features of modern constitutions, with their emphasis on rights and judicial review, the authors present a theory of proportionality that explains why constitutional judges embraced it. Proportionality analysis is a highly intrusive mode of judicial supervision: it permits state officials to limit rights, but only when necessary to achieve a sufficiently important public interest. Since the 1950s, virtually every powerful domestic and ... Read more

Beyond Deportation: The Role of Prosecutorial Discretion in Immigration Cases

Shoba S. Wadhia

When Beatles star John Lennon faced deportation from the U.S. in the 1970s, his lawyer Leon Wildes made a groundbreaking argument. He argued that Lennon should be granted "nonpriority" status pursuant to INS's (now DHS's_ policy of prosecutorial discretion. In U.S. immigration law, the agency exercises prosecutorial discretion favorably when it refrains from enforcing the full scope of immigration law. A prosecutorial discretion grant is important to an agency seeking to focus on its priorities on the "truly dangerous" in order to conserve resources and to bring compassion into immigration enforcement. The Lennon case marked the first moment that the ... Read more

Constitutional Litigation Under Section 1983

Kit Kinports

From the publisher: "Constitutional Litigation Under Section 1983 exhaustively analyzes the varied problems that arise in civil rights suits alleging violations of the United States Constitution. The cases, questions, and commentary not only survey the stumbling blocks plaintiffs and defendants are likely to encounter in this type of federal litigation, but also address peculiar problems that tend to arise with specific constitutional rights — such as the Fourth Amendment's proscription on unreasonable searches and seizures, the Fifth Amendment's requirement of just compensation, and the Due Process Clause's requirements for properly extracting taxes."
Ethics in International Arbitration

Catherine A. Rogers

From the publisher: "International arbitration is a remarkably resilient institution, but many unresolved and largely unacknowledged ethical quandaries lurk below the surface. Globalization of commercial trade has increased the number and diversity of parties, counsel, experts and arbitrators, which has in turn lead to more frequent ethical conflicts just as procedures have become more formal and transparent. The predictable result is that ethical transgressions are increasingly evident and less tolerable. Despite these developments, regulation of various actors in the system arbitrators, lawyers, experts, third-party funders and arbitral institutions remains ambiguous and often ineffectual."
McCormick on Evidence, 7th (Practitioner Treatise Series)

David H. Kaye, Kenneth S. Broun, George E. Dix, Edward J. Imwinkelried, Robert P. Mosteller, E. F. Roberts, and Eleanor Swift

Recognized as the foremost authority on evidence law today, McCormick on Evidence offers comprehensive and authoritative analysis of the rules and theory of evidence.

Like the Dean McCormick's original text, the Seventh Edition continues to provide a pragmatic approach to the law of evidence.

The Double Helix and the Law of Evidence

David H. Kaye
