Meade S: The Litigator's Edge

The Litigator's Edge

Mastering Rhetoric for Persuasive Advocacy

The environmental field and its regulations have evolved significantly since Congress passed the first environmental law in 1970, and the Environmental Law Handbook, published just three years later, has been indispensable to students and professionals ever since. The authors provide clear and accessible explanations, expert legal insight into new and evolving regulations, and reliable compliance and management guidance. The Environmental Law Handbook continues to provide individuals across the country-professionals, professors, and students-with a comprehensive, up-to-date, and easy-to-read look at the major environmental, health, and safety laws affecting U.S. businesses and organizations. Because it is written by the country's leading environmental law firms, it provides the best, most reliable guidance anywhere. Both professional environmental managers and students aspiring to careers in environmental management should keep the Environmental Law Handbook within arm's reach for thoughtful answers to regulatory questions such as: How do I ensure compliance with the regulations? How do the latest environmental developments impact my operations? How do we keep our operations efficient and our community safe? The Handbook begins with chapters on the fundamentals of environmental law and on issues of enforcement and liability. It then dives headfirst into the major laws, examining their history, scope, and requirements with a chapter devoted to each. The 25th edition of this well-known Handbook has been thoroughly updated, covering major changes to the law and enforcement in the areas of Clean Air, Clean Water, Climate Change, Oil Pollution, and Pollution Prevention. This is an essential reference for environmental students and professionals, and anyone who wants the most up-to-date information available on environmental laws.

Oñati International Series in Law and Society

In this book, law and society researchers reflect on past, new, and emerging participatory action research (PAR). In particular, the book explores two key dimensions of community-engaged law and society research: the process, methods, and challenges of collaborative research on justice, and innovative dissemination techniques of co-created knowledge, including theatre, art, museum exhibits, walking tours, music, and web platforms. The book highlights different strengths and features of PAR research, with chapters that cover a wide range of locales. More specifically, the chapters explore the following key questions: -How does knowledge-building about the meanings and mechanisms of justice emerge and form within law and society scholarship? -How can we, as researchers, build space for public conversations about justice? -How do colonialism, sexism and racism impact these conversations? -What do meaningful partnership and collaboration look like in law and society, and how does this work take shape, recognizing these structures of inequality? -How can we better, with more impact, share research with/in communities, and what opportunities are there for knowledge sharing to create space for conversations about justice? The book delves into research projects and innovative methods that do novel work in charting out new methods and, consequently, builds new knowledge in socio-legal justice scholarship. It speaks to diverse range of researchers, research subjects, and research priorities.

"The organization of this book generally follows the organization of typical first-year legal writing courses. Most courses first cover objective or predictive writing, asking students to write office memos, and then cover persuasive writing, asking students to write motions and briefs. We've also included a section on revising and rewriting because those skills are necessary to all good writing"--

Disruptions and Transitions

Law in a Technological Context

Americans take it for granted that the states of the union make up an economic common market. But that is the case only because early in the nation's history the Supreme Court ruled that the Commerce Clause of the Constitution establishes a principle--sometimes called the "dormant Commerce Clause" principle--that blocks individual states from cutting off the free flow of cross-border trade. From the 1820s onward the Court has issued hundreds of rulings applying this doctrine to prevent the states from imposing tariff-like taxes, local processing requirements, and other restrictions on the free movement of goods and services across state lines. The result for the nation has been, as Justice Robert Jackson once observed, a "material success that . . . has been the most impressive in the history of commerce." After joining the Court in 1986 Justice Antonin Scalia challenged the dormant Commerce Clause principle as an illegitimate judicial innovation at odds with a proper "originalist" interpretation of the Constitution. This critique, moreover, quickly picked up steam as other prominent jurists and commentators--most notably, Justice Clarence Thomas--gave it their enthusiastic support. Is the originalist challenge to the dormant Commerce Clause rule well-founded? In The Common-Market Constitution, Coenen argues that the answer is no. Like Justice Scalia, Coenen focuses on discovering the original public meaning of the Commerce Clause. According to Coenen, however, the text and history of that clause compel a conclusion that is the direct opposite of the one that Justice Scalia reached. As Coenen demonstrates, a proper originalist assessment of the dormant Commerce Clause principle requires consideration of a sweeping body of text- and history-based evidence that ranges far beyond what critics of that principal rule have focused on in the past. A full and fair appraisal of that evidence, Coenen argues, leaves no doubt that the constitutional rule that the Court has long applied to safeguard the American common market does reflect the original public meaning of the Commerce Clause.

Introduction to U.S. Law and Legal Research

EDINBURGH STUDIES IN LAW Series Editor: Elspeth Christie Reid Volume 11 The Consequences of Possession Edited by Eric Descheemaeker Compares the law of possession across the divide between the civilian tradition and the common law The theme of this edited volume is the consequences that the law attaches to the recognition of a possessory relationship between a person and a thing in a comparative perspective. The comparative law of property is a budding, but still extremely underdeveloped, field of study; yet its importance is self-evident in an age of Europeanisation of law and legal scholarship. Bringing together contributions of scholars from the civilian tradition (France, Germany, Italy), the common-law world (England) and mixed legal systems (Quebec, Scotland, South Africa), The Consequences of Possession focuses on the protection of possession across the divide between the two great western legal traditions. Eric Descheemaeker is Lecturer in European Private Law at the University of Edinburgh. Among his previous publications are The Division of Wrongs: A Historical Comparative Study (2009) and Iniuria and the Common Law (edited with Helen Scott, 2013).

Legal Method Essentials for Scots Law

¿Qué ocurre cuando la justicia escucha... pero no sabe interpretar? Testigo en el Estrado es un recorrido por diez de los juicios más mediáticos y polémicos donde el testimonio -más allá de las pruebas materiales- fue determinante para decidir la verdad jurídica. Desde el caso Bretón hasta La Manada, pasando por Amanda Knox, Paulette Gebara y Kobe Bryant, este libro analiza cómo la palabra humana puede ser evidencia o trampa, según se escuche y se valore. Un análisis profundo y accesible sobre la credibilidad del testimonio, el papel del perito psicológico y los errores judiciales más frecuentes. El autor, Jorge Sanmiguel Peña, psicólogo forense con amplia trayectoria, ofrece una mirada rigurosa y humanista sobre el peritaje testimonial, combinando casos reales, metodología profesional y reflexión ética. Descubrirás: Cómo se analiza la veracidad de un testimonio en juicio. Cuándo la conducta no verbal puede ser engañosa. Por qué el perito forense es clave en la valoración de la prueba testifical. Los errores más comunes que llevan a condenar a inocentes (o absolver a culpables). Lecciones para estudiantes, peritos, abogados y todos los interesados en justicia y verdad. Un libro imprescindible para profesionales del Derecho, la Psicología Forense, estudiantes y cualquier lector interesado en la cara más humana (y vulnerable) de la justicia. "La palabra puede salvar o condenar. Pero solo si se escucha con ciencia y humanidad puede acercarnos a la verdad."
