"I’ll See You in Court" by Sueanne E. McKinney,Clair T. Berube Pdf

Creating and managing an effective classroom management and discipline system in today’s urban classroom can be an arduous task for even the most competent teacher, let alone those who are new to the classroom. Urban teachers are faced with unique challenges, (poor working conditions, limited administrative support, and under resourced environments), that impact implementation and supervision of an effective classroom management plan, and often influences the teacher to transfer to another school or district or leave the profession all together. The basis of “I’ll See You in Court” Supporting Social Justice, Diversity, Equity, and Critical Thinking Through Classroom Management and Discipline in Urban Schools, is to provide aspiring and veteran teachers with a classroom model that highlights an instructional and relational approach for managing the urban classroom. Authentic learning opportunities are centered, and provide the means to integrate social justice, cultural responsiveness, problem solving, and communication skills. This classroom management text is using a legal framework in order to catch the reader’s attention, and to get the reader and in turn, classroom students, to understand that just as “societal management” has rules and consequences, it also includes the promise of due process which hopefully leads to equitable and fair outcomes. “I’ll See You In Court” is a fun way for teachers and students to make sense of classroom management in a practical and analogous application.

Mellinkoff's Dictionary of American Legal Usage by David Mellinkoff Pdf

This is a dictionary of the language of the law as used in America today. Most of this dictionary is written in ordinary English. Most of the words that lawyers use in writing and talking about the law are the ordinary words that fill the dictionaries of the English language. They have a place in this dictionary when the law gives them a specialized sense; or to emphasize that there is none. Too often an apparent change in sense results not from the law but from bad grammar or redundancy; or from an unsorted host of possible meanings jumbled together and left to the vagaries of interpretation. At the other extreme, individual cases, each walled in by its own distinctive facts and law, may give an immaculately narrowed sense, but neither generalized definition nor standards for the gradation of sense that is the essence of clear usage. A small number of citations to cases of special relevance to word usage are included in this dictionary. The citation count does not measure the indebtedness of this dictionary to old and current sources of American legal usage. The definitions and examples of usage in this dictionary have roots in the law reports of thousands of litigated cases; in law writings formal and informal, profound and trivial; in the talk of lawyers and judges in court and out--the formal and the informal--colloquial and slangy, talk that is precise and talk that is mush; in a long line of dictionaries past and present--law dictionaries, and dictionaries of English and its usage. Drawing from all those sources, the definitions and examples are shaped by more than a half-century of personal immersion in the oral and written language of the law, as law student, practicing lawyer, professor, and writer. And something has been added. This dictionary is designed to sort out the words used in the law, and to identify the different senses in which each is used, and can be used. With cross-reference, it tells how words are related to each other and separated for each other, so that discrimination and choice of usage are possible. Words are grouped together as identical, similar, disparate, departing from or paralleling the usages of ordinary English. Where usage is not uniform, the dictionary comments on what is better, best, and worst. The dictionary concentrates on general legal usage for a profession practicing in the American common law tradition . . . The dictionary does not detail the multitude of other jurisdictional variations, but calls attention to the fact of variation. Although the distinction is often difficult to make, this is a word dictionary, not a short legal encyclopedia. Technicalities in general legal usage are included, but not the intricacies of learning in specialized fields of the law. There is no standard legal pronunciation. Pronunciation is included here when it is unusual, exotic, controversial, or needed to prevent confusion. Pronunciation is rendered in simplified phonetics. American law dictionaries go back to 1839. This one is new and different. --David Mellinkoff, from the Preface

Heatstroke by Michael G. Simonson Pdf

HeatStroke: Why Canada's Summer Olympic Program Is Failing--And How We Can Fix It, is Michael Simonson's incisive and passionate diagnosis of Canada's Summer Olympic performances and the disparate nature of amateur sport in Canada. He reveals why a country that seemingly dominates at the Winter Olympics is content in putting up with sporting ineptitude at the Summer Olympics. In doing so, he discovers that Canada's success at the Winter Olympics has more to do with the vision of Canada's winter sport organizations than with the health of the sport system itself. But Simonson's exposé is written out of love of his country and sport, and in the hopes of turning Canadian sport around so all of our athletes have the opportunity to be successful. While his book is a tough diagnosis of our sporting ills, it also examines Canada's plan for resurgence at the Summer Olympics, while offering its own blueprint for success, not just in the short-term but for many Olympiads to come. Examining some of the best practices implemented in Canada's winter sport system HeatStroke provides a made in Canada solution to our summer sporting ills.

Inside the Equal Access to Justice Act by Lowell E. Baier Pdf

Next Generation INDIE Book Awards Grand Prize Winner, Best Non-Fiction Book in 2017; and Winner in the Science/Nature/Environment category Finalist for Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards in Ecology and Environment In this book, Lowell E. Baier, one of America’s preeminent experts on environmental litigation, chronicles the century-long story of Americas’ resources management, focusing on litigations, citizen suit provisions, and attorneys’ fees. He provides the first book-length comprehensive examination of the little-known Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA) and its role in environmental litigation. Originally intended to support veterans, the disabled and small business, EAJA, Baier argues, now paralyzes America’s public land management agencies. Baier introduces readers to the history of EAJA, examines the many beneficiaries of the law, describes in depth 20 of the most prominent litigious environmental groups in America, and recommends carefully tailored amendments to the EAJA to correct environmental abuses of the law while protecting legitimate interests. Inside the Equal Access to Justice Act will be a valuable resource for the environmental legal community, environmentalists, practitioners at all levels of government, and all readers interested in environmental policy and the rise of the administrative state.

Legal Tech and the Future of Civil Justice by David Freeman Engstrom Pdf

New digital technologies, from AI-fired 'legal tech' tools to virtual proceedings, are transforming the legal system. But much of the debate surrounding legal tech has zoomed out to a nebulous future of 'robo-judges' and 'robo-lawyers.' This volume is an antidote. Zeroing in on the near- to medium-term, it provides a concrete, empirically minded synthesis of the impact of new digital technologies on litigation and access to justice. How far and fast can legal tech advance given regulatory, organizational, and technological constraints? How will new technologies affect lawyers and litigants, and how should procedural rules adapt? How can technology expand – or curtail – access to justice? And how must judicial administration change to promote healthy technological development and open courthouse doors for all? By engaging these essential questions, this volume helps to map the opportunities and the perils of a rapidly digitizing legal system – and provides grounded advice for a sensible path forward.

The Legal Thriller from Gardner to Grisham by Lars Ole Sauerberg Pdf

This book offers a critically informed yet relaxed historical overview of the legal thriller, a unique contribution to crime fiction where most of the titles have been written by professionals such as lawyers and judges. The legal thriller typically uses court trials as the suspense-creating background for presenting legal issues reflecting a wide range of concerns, from corporate conflicts to private concerns, all in a dramatic but highly informed manner. With authors primarily from the USA and the UK, the genre is one which nonetheless enjoys a global reading audience. As well as providing a survey of the legal thriller, this book takes a gender–focused approach to analyzing recently published titles within the field. It also argues for the fascination of the legal thriller both in the way its narrative pattern parallels that of an actual court trial, and by the way it reflects, frequently quite critically, the concerns of contemporary society.
