Written from an advocate’s perspective, this guide introduces how the courtroom operates and offers a glimpse into the environment that influences these rulings. Major cases and doctrines are discussed. Examples are given to develop a feel for the context in which a particular evidence problem might arise—and for the language lawyers and judges use to resolve it. Also explores the rationale and purpose behind each rule.

Praise for BILLIONS OF DROPS in MILLIONS OF BUCKETS "Billions of Drops in Millions of Buckets provides a bracing and original look at philan-thropy that offers a much-needed corrective to conventional wisdom. Steve Goldberg combines a resolve to understand why so much philanthropy accomplishes so little enduring social change with a timely and serious proposal to reinvigorate nonprofit capital markets through the simplest of insights: getting more of the money to where it can do the most good. This book will change how forward-looking philanthropists, foundations, and policymakers think about the relationship between charitable giving and the transformative capacity of social entrepreneurs." ―Jerr Boschee, founder and Executive Director, The Institute for Social Entrepreneurs; Visiting Professor of the Practice in Social Enterprise, Carnegie Mellon University "Goldberg's arguments are logical next steps in the rapidly evolving discussion of social capital markets. He offers ambitious proposals informed by the reality of current practices and focused on an achievable set of goals. He fully recognizes the potential for restructuring that is inherent in this time of financial hardship. Real change relies on big ideas, and Steve Goldberg offers us several." ―Lucy Bernholz, author of Creating Philanthropic Capital Markets: The Deliberate Evolution "When I first heard about 'evidence-based medicine,' I thought: 'you mean it isn't?' Read this book and that's how you'll feel about 'performance-based philanthropy.' Goldberg takes some of the best current management thinking and applies it to social enterprise, illuminating both the encouraging successes of social entrepreneurs and the barriers they face. Even better, he presents compelling ideas for making the social sector vastly more effective." ―Christopher Meyer, Chief Executive, Monitor Networks "Goldberg calls for more 'performance-driven philanthropy,' where nonprofits are rewarded based on their results, in place of the current dysfunction. It is an important call and a valuable contribution to discussions about how to improve nonprofits in the U.S. and internationally." ―Martin Brookes, Chief Executive, New Philanthropy Capital "Billions of Drops... is a must-read romp through emerging fields of social entrepre-neurship and nonprofit capital markets." ―George Overholser, founder and Managing Director, NFF Capital Partners

"It is naive to think we will all be prepared for Y2K by December 31, 1999. This is an important and timely book in which the authors provide clear and cogent advice for managing the entire spectrum of Year 2000 business and legal risks." -Dr. Edward Yardeni, Chief Economist, Deutsche Bank Securities Y2K Risk Management Every organization needs an effective risk management strategy to address Year 2000 business and legal risks, even if your own computer systems are repaired and tested. Your vendors may be unable to deliver supplies and customers unable to pay invoices. Failures of public and private infrastructure systems-such as power, water, and transportation-could cause major operational disruptions. If you suffer Y2K financial losses, you may need to seek compensation from responsible parties. Or if you are unable to meet contractual, fiduciary, or regulatory obligations as a result of Year 2000 problems, you may face litigation. This indispensable guide reveals the legal landscape unique to Y2K and covers such vital topics as: * Business and legal risk assessment * Identifying and safeguarding mission-critical business functions * Fast-tracking a Y2K project * Evaluating and protecting the supply chain * Developing contingency plans and fall-back procedures * Preparing a legal audit and reducing liability exposure * Substantiating due diligence of Y2K compliance efforts * Implications of the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act, SEC disclosure rules, and independent auditing guidelines * Insurance coverage issues * Exercising fiduciary duties and protecting corporate officers and information technology professionals * Litigation planning and alternative dispute resolution
