Friedman L: American Law

American Law

An Introduction

Fentanyl is a first-person, insider account of how the crisis consumed the Biden Administration amid a series of other national security emergencies. It follows Jake Braun, a senior White House official, and his colleagues while they scramble to respond to the epidemic. As Mexican cartels ruthlessly executed their most radical transformation in 50 years, Braun and his colleagues architected the first U.S. government wide strategy to combat fentanyl in history. The effort brought him to Mexico to meet with Mexican agents who kick down cartel doors for the U.S. government there. He also spent time with data analytics wizards buried in nondescript offices in Virginia suburbs that hunt down Chinese fentanyl precursor chemicals on the Dark Web. He even takes a detour to gather intelligence from Russian migrants in U.S. detention facilities that migrated through cartel-controlled areas of Mexico. In the process, Braun uncovered the remarkable transformation cartels in Mexico underwent over the last 50 years. They morphed from narco-empires the size of Fortune 50 companies specializing in marijuana and cocaine to ones specializing in human migration and, separately, fentanyl. After much painstaking effort, the Biden Administration successfully executed the most sweeping takedown of cartel leadership and fentanyl infrastructure since the crisis began. Due to the efforts of heroic agents, intelligence officers and national security experts, the leviathan U.S. government is now marshaled in ways never before imagined against the Chinese chemical companies and cartels propagating the fentanyl epidemic. Further, the strategy seems to be working. Just a year after it was kicked off, the fentanyl fatalities dropped nearly 37%. Yet the crisis persists. Finally, Braun draws on his unique experience combating the epidemic to outline how the U.S. government can once and for all end the fentanyl crisis in America.

The Essential Business Desk Reference

Contracts

The first biography in decades of one of the most extraordinary and singular figures in American jurisprudence: a small-time lawyer--with one year of law school--who joined FDR's administration and became, in rapid succession, U.S. Solicitor General, Attorney General, and Supreme Court Justice. Robert H. Jackson's most enduring legacy, however, may have been his work as chief U.S. prosecutor at the Nuremberg war crimes trial. Distinguished historian G. Edward White offers a compelling portrait of a complex figure who continues to inspire reverence.

The Brand New Blockbuster Thriller from the Number One Bestseller

Nightshade

This volume explores in detail the use of the doctrine of good faith in the common law when interpreting contracts and resolving disputes. Building on the findings of Good Faith and Relational Contracts (Hart, 2024) the book discusses the implications of relational contract theory and good faith for issues such as liquidated damages clauses, discretion to terminate a contract, contract forfeiture, employment contracts and contractual remedies. The author discusses the potential for good faith to unite a number of currently disparate contract law and equitable principles into a coherent framework, providing an opportunity to question and jettison some archaic aspects of existing doctrine that are no longer defensible. Ambitious and thoughtful, this is a significant statement on the role of good faith in private law.

Application to Specific Principles

Good Faith and Relational Contracts, Volume 2

English law of sale of goods is an important area of commercial law, occupying a central place in the UK law schools curricula as well as in legal practice. Now in its fifth edition, The Sale of Goods offers a systematic and rigorous study of the law of sale of goods with reference to UK and Commonwealth authorities and relevant UK and, although of diminishing importance, EU legislation. Fully updated with the most recent case law, this book examines the relationship between statute (the Sale of Goods Act 1979) and the underlying common law, as well as the connection between contract and property law. The passing of property from seller to buyer is discussed, alongside mistake, frustration, and risk. Performance issues, including delivery and payment, are addressed in depth, as are the implied terms of description, satisfactory quality, and fitness for purpose. Breach and termination are explored through the lens of conditions, warranties, innominate terms, and repudiation, with detailed discussion of the buyer's right to reject goods and its loss through acceptance. Misrepresentation and exclusion clauses also come in for detailed discussion. The book concludes with a comprehensive treatment of remedies, including the seller's real rights over goods in cases of non-payment, actions for debt and specific performance, and damages for non-acceptance, non-delivery, late delivery, and the delivery of non-conforming goods. Significant important cases include: damages; contractual certainty; specific performance; cryptoassets and coins; gambling chips; cancellation clauses; conditions precedent; passing of property; insurable interest; frustration; change of position; right to sell; contract quantity; waiver; delivery; innominate terms; divisible contracts; deposits and advance payments; time of essence; fitness for purpose; description; fraud; misrepresentation; express warranty; consumer safety; exclusion clauses; affirmation; termination; repudiation; rejection; interest; failure of consideration; market damages; mitigation of damages. Statutory developments include: Digital, Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024; Electronic Documents Act 2023; and post-Brexit modification of EU-inspired legislation.

Across the Aisle

This balanced book illuminates Republican and Democratic responses and attitudes toward crime, police work, sentencing, incarceration, and rehabilitation in the USA. A broad array of law enforcement and criminal justice issues are examined, including mass incarceration, sentencing disparities, anti-drug efforts, marijuana legalization, death penalty, mandatory minimums, civil asset forfeiture, prison privatization, rape and other crimes in prison settings, women in prison, support for therapeutic/educational programs, sentencing for juvenile offenders, harsher penalties for hate crimes, and voting rights for ex-felons. The focus is on specific and timely topics in criminal justice that are most susceptible to legislative policies. Readers will benefit by developing an appreciation for how politics impacts the criminal justice system, and how the parties have developed laws that impact their lives, dictate acceptable behavior, and legislate appropriate responses for violators. The emphasis of the series is contemporary, but it includes historical perspective to provide a sense of how each party's positions and actions have evolved over time.

Today's Crime and Punishment Issues

This book examines how "colorblind" policies perpetuate racial bias by masking the structural and systemic roots of inequality. Leland Ware critically examines the persistence of racial inequality in the United States despite landmark legal advancements, arguing that numerous policies obscure the structural forces that sustain segregation and disparity-particularly in education. Through analysis of the strategic use of racially coded political rhetoric and key Supreme Court rulings, Ware demonstrates how race-neutral frameworks often reinforce, rather than remediate, systemic inequity. For legal scholars, educators, sociologists, and political scientists, this work offers a reinterpretation of civil rights jurisprudence, a framework for addressing de facto segregation, and a vital lens through which to understand how racial resentment continues to shape policy and public discourse.
