A proven success in hundreds of classrooms nationwide, Maerowitz and Mauet's introduction to litigation features greater teaching flexibility than the other leading texts. It covers every step of the litigation process in depth, from the moment the client walks in the door to final settlements - yet never burdens students with needless details and digressions. The writing is friendly and intelligent - with a unique ability to clarify the reasoning behind legal procedures. The pedagogy is expertly crafted for paralegal courses, especially the case materials. They include examples and documents in the text itself, along with a complete litigation file in the appendix, and six separate case scenarios in the accompanying electronic workbook. The quality and variety of the case materials allow you to teach as you wish, rather than locking you into a single case or running scenario.

TV tie-in to accompany the prime-time BBC documentary on the criminal underworld of Boston, focusing on the famous Charles Stuart case. 
With unparalleled access to the detectives, defendants, and prosecutors, Sean Flynn takes readers behind the closed doors of the Boston District Attorney's office to reveal the life-and-death world of crime and punishment in Boston. 
This is a story not only about the city's unprecedented war on crime, now lauded as the "Boston Miracle," but also about a black man in a white man's city: a prosecutor whose father was the prime suspect in the murder of his mother. 
Other stories covered include, the Charles Stuart case and the terrible warehouse fire that killed six Massachusetts firefighters in December 1999. Here are riveting stories of the policemen who have fought Boston's well-documented battles from the crime scenes to the courtrooms to the jailhouse cells. 
Flynn follows detectives who should be jaded into indifference, but instead slog through their moldering cold case files to get their man. He profiles the prosecutors and defense attorneys who walk a moral tightrope between justice and compassion when dealing with children who kill.

How Russians, the Rich and the Government Try to Prevent Free Speech and How to Stop Them. 'ESSENTIAL' Amal Clooney 'AUTHORITATIVE' Sir Geoffrey Bindman KC 'IMPORTANT 'Baroness Helena Kennedy KC 'COULD HARDLY BE MORE TIMELY' Alan Rusbridger The British tradition of "free speech" is a myth. From the middle ages to the present, the law of defamation has worked to cover up misbehaviour by the rich and powerful, whose legal mercenaries intimidate investigative journalists. Now a new terror has been added through misguided judicial development of the laws of privacy, breach of confidence and data protection, to suppress the reporting of truths of public importance to tell. Drawing upon the author's unparalleled experience of defending journalists and editors in English and Commonwealth courtrooms over the past half-century, the book describes the hidden world of lawfare, in which authors struggle against unfair rules that put them always on the defensive and against a costs burden that runs to millions. Law schools do not teach freedom of speech and judges in the Supreme Court do not understand it. This book identifies and advocates the reforms that will be necessary before Britain can truly boast that it is a land of free speech, rather than a place where free speech can come very expensive.

When the system fails the parents, how can it protect the children? Welcome to the secretive world of the Family Court. What's it like to act for a father who has recently overcome his drug problem but risks losing his beloved son to foster care? Or to represent a young mother whose abusive childhood has left her depressed and struggling to cope, to the point where the local authority is seeking to persuade the Family Court to place her small children for adoption? In this hard-hitting account of her work representing parents in care proceedings in the Family Court, child protection lawyer Teresa Thornhill conveys the dilemmas inherent in the job and shows how our under-resourced system of child protection - in both its social work and legal aspects - often fails to provide support that could enable the most vulnerable parents to continue to care for their children. 'A vivid account of all the terrible things that can happen to children and all the challenges facing lawyers and social workers in our child protection system which is meant to help and protect them but which struggles to do so. It doesn't have to be this way so what can be done about it?' Rt Hon Lady Hale DBE, Formerly President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. 'Should be required reading for those who care about how society treats our most vulnerable citizens.' Louise Allen, Sunday Times bestselling author 'This timely book resonated with my experiences as a children's social worker and probation officer; it's a refreshingly honest account of our dysfunctional child protection system.' Joanna Hughes, former children's social worker and probation officer.
