Domestic Violence Law

<p>A unique and comprehensive collection of sources including published appellate cases and law review articles but also selections from the fields of sociology, psychology, and anthropology. Samples of current legislation, Congressional memoranda, restraining order forms, and articles from the popular press, including newsletters and brochures from hard-to-obtain sources are included. Ms. Lemon has taught this course since 1988 and has written many pioneering pieces of legislation in this area. The materials are comprehensive in examining different points of view on the subject of domestic violence law. They help the student explore the tension between theory and practice, a critical point in teaching this subject. A historical perspective is given so that students can see both the ways the laws have changed over the past century and also the ways they have not changed. This reader lends itself to discussions of the role of the attorney in crafting the law, not simply following it.</p>

Performance Traditions Among African-American Teachers

The overarching purpose of Jeffries' important study is to affirm the cultural performance traditions of African-American educators.Jeffries uses extensive narratives from African-American men and women in two urban schools to explore such pertinent questions as how the social, economic, and emotional climate of America contributes to the unique capacities of the African American; how the role of African-American educators as social activists has influenced their teaching; how desegregation affected the African-American educator's ability to "perform" in schools; and how the decrease in the number of African-American educators affects the school environment.

The Black Hood of the Ku Klux Klan

This is one of the most unusual stories of the Ku Klux Klan and American law enforcement ever to be undertaken. Whereas violence toward blacks was an accepted part of the Klan credo, violence toward whites, particularly respected members of their communities, was virtually unknown until this case. Jim Ruiz, a Louisiana police veteran and historian, provides an exhilarating and compelling account of the brutal murder of two white men in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana. The Black Hood of the Ku Klux Klan also delves into the investigation that followed the murders and demonstrates the iron grip of the Ku Klux Klan in the South during the early twentieth century. This is not merely a chronicle of one instance of extreme violence; this is a portrait of a society muted by fear and intimidation.

<i>Tools of the Trade</i> introduces the law student and newly practicing attorney to the fundamental legal writing tools at their disposal. The book is organized progressively to parallel the sequence of events that occurs in an actual case. The first several chapters cover some basic rules on the practice of law and initial client contact/correspondence such as retainer agreements. The next chapters advance to cover subjects such as demand letters, pleadings, discovery, and motions. The final three chapters conclude with less formal documents such as praecipes and letters of transmittal in addition to settlement documents and billing statements. Each individual chapter contains text explaining the basic elements, form, and use of the instruments, along with practical tips for drafting. The chapters then set forth several samples (not forms) so the reader is able to appreciate the appearance, construction, language and variations of the instrument.
