Alienated: Immigrant Rights, the Constitution, and Equality in America
Victor C. Romero
Throughout American history, the government has used U.S. citizenship and immigration law to protect privileged groups from less privileged ones, using citizenship as a "legitimate" proxy for otherwise invidious, and often unconstitutional, discrimination on the basis of race. While racial discrimination is rarely legally acceptable today, profiling on the basis of citizenship is still largely unchecked, and has in fact arguable increased in the wake of the September 11 terror attacks on the United States.

Samuel C. Thompson Jr.
From the Publisher: "This book approaches the subject of Corporate Taxation through the prism of the Federal income tax treatment of taxable and tax-free mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

The book is structured for use both by students who have not previously been exposed to Corporate Tax and by those students who have."

Prove It with Figures: Empirical Methods in Law and Litigation
David H. Kaye and Hans Zeisel
"Prove It With Figures" displays some of the tools of the social and statistical sciences that have been applied to the proof of facts in the courtroom and to the study of questions of legal importance. It explains how researchers can extract the most valuable and reliable data that can conveniently be made available, and how these efforts sometimes go awry. In the tradition of Zeisel's "Say It with Figures," a standard in the field of social statistics since 1947, it clarifies, in non-technical language, some of the basic problems common to all efforts to discern cause-and-effect relationships. Designed as ... Read more
