The 2013 introduction of nine new real estate laws promises to revolutionize the traditional real estate market in Saudi Arabia. Yet while Saudi Arabia seeks foreign investment to promote the real estate sector, most of these laws have not been translated. Nor is it easy to get answers to simple questions like, "how do you transfer a piece of property?" The book contains a historical overview, an analysis of Saudi Arabia's new mortgage ecosystem, a summary of existing real estate laws and helpful practice pointers. The new real estate laws are translated and where necessary, annotated. Included also is the full, annotated text of the new Enforcement Law, a groundbreaking change to the Saudi legal system designed to make debt collection routine. Companies owed money in and from Saudi Arabia will find these chapters indispensable. There is no similar book on the market today. Every real estate investor, practitioner and loan officer active in the Saudi market should keep a copy close by. The author, Michael O'Kane, has worked in the Kingdom for more than a decade as a legal consultant to the government and as a practicing attorney.

An American attorney travels to the Green Zone to run the office of a German law firm. What could possibly go wrong? Practicing law in a war zone isn't so bad, if you can overlook the nightly mortar attacks. Ten thousand tons of chicken are stolen, a transgender government contractor finds sympathetic ears amongst the ayatollahs and the office phone keeps shutting off when military convoys go by. Meanwhile there's a law practice to organize and clients to keep happy. Sometimes it seems that conflicts with the home office are more stressful than the fear that a rocket exploding nearby will find its target.    In his war diary, lawyer Michael O'Kane tells of his experience as a lawyer in Green Zone.    Michael O'Kane is the last attorney admitted to practice in the Panama Canal Zone. Since then he has worked in Miami, New Jersey, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Bolivia and Iraq.

DOES FREEDOM OF RELIGION MEAN FREEDOM TO KILL?
Once named New Orleans' "Lawyer of the Year" for his work on a gruesome Louisiana murder case, David Augustus Ball rips the scab off the system and shows the strange underpinnings of an astonishing court decision based on an ancient and almost forgotten religion.
Triptych is the story of a lawyer who risked everything to defend a man who could not be defended and a religion whose commands can never be ignored.
Was it just another cold-blooded murder inthe Crescent City...or an arcane religious ritual protected by the Constitution?
In three provocative vignettes blending sacred texts, courtroom testimony and cold hard facts, Triptych reveals just enough to ask, does religious freedom include freedom to kill?

How much law do we take with us? And whose?
It's not science fiction. Imagine if you were given the assignment to write a legal code for Mars.
Of course, you wouldn't start from scratch. But you wouldn't start with the hundred plus volumes of the New York statutes, either. So what's the minimum? Look at Alaska in 1959. Take out hunting and fishing and you know you have the minimum to run a jurisdiction.
Or the Canal Zone, which, while frozen in time, is also the minimum, with a few things subtracted and others added.
But these are American laws. Chinese citizens living and working in the Colony may not want to be subject to American law. And why should they? What about European law? And let's not forget Islamic law.
There have been a few "international" jurisdictions in history. The international zone in Tangier. Shanghai in the 1930's. There is U.S. case law about what laws apply to crimes committed on ice flows in international waters. The concept of extraterritorial jurisdiction may be discredited, but the time to talk about these things is now, before people start living on Mars.

Mars Colony Legal Code: How Much Law Do We Take With Us?

HOW MUCH LAW DO WE BRING WITH US? With so much interest in a manned mission to Mars, the colonization of Mars is no longer a question of "if," but "when?" What are the minimum legal requirements for operating the colony on Mars? Should Mars even have its own law? Why not just use the laws of the space-faring nations? But what if those laws conflict? The time to plan for a legal regime for the Mars Colony is now and not later. By the time the colonists land on Mars it will be too late. The Mars Colony Legal Code is not just an effort to answer the question, "how much law do we take with us?" but also, "and whose law?" It's not science fiction. What if you had to write a legal code for Mars. Where would you start? Of course, you wouldn't start from scratch. But you wouldn't start with the hundred-plus volumes of the New York statutes, either. So what's the minimum? Look at Alaska in 1959. Take out hunting and fishing and you know you have the minimum to run a jurisdiction. Or the legal regime for the former Canal Zone in Panama, which, while frozen in time, also constitutes the bare minimum necessary to run a jurisdiction. Other countries' laws are instructive, modern and workable. This draft general legal Code is designed to be a comprehensive set of rules for the maintenance and operation of the planned Mars colony.

In 2016 the Saudi government issued the first revision to the country's Companies Law in over 50 years. Unfortunately, the official edition has no index; no table of contents and none of the articles have titles. Finding relevant portions of the law is a challenge. This edition of the law provides a comprehensive table of contents, an extensive index and gives each of the articles a title so relevant sections can be found easily.\nThis 2022 edition contains both the 2018 and 2020 amendments to the law.
