.The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court
City Travel Guides > Books > Law
by: Bob Woodward, Scott Armstrong

July 01, 2005

I have become interested lately in the various opinions handed down by the Supreme Court in the Guantanamo habeas corpus cases. I was particularly surprised by the vehemence of the dissenting opinions expressed. This lead me to this book, to find out more. Published in 1979, it documents the internal workings, decision making and rivalries in the Supreme Court between the years 1968 and 1975. The activist Chief Justice Warren resigned at the start of this time, and the remainder of his colleagues moved towards retirement, replaced by Nixon appointees. The Court's more controversial cases in this time dealt with segregation, abortion and Watergate.

They say that no man is a hero to his butler, and I think this book provides ... Read More:

.Working With Contracts: What Law School Doesn't Teach You
City Travel Guides > Books > Law
by: Charles M. Fox

May 27, 2008
My only regret is not reading this book earlier in my career. For all first years and law students, it is a must read. If you are a transactional attorney, this book is a great resource.

Charles Fox deserves an award for creating a road map for junior associates.

.The Heritage Guide to the Constitution
City Travel Guides > Books > Law
by: Edwin Meese, Matthew Spalding, David F. Forte

November 07, 2005
This is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to understand the U.S. Constitution, but especially for high school and college graduates who know they want to go into law as a vocation. My grandson, who just graduated from high school, was really pleased that I gave it to him, since he's planning to study Constitutional Law.

.Lakota Woman
City Travel Guides > Books > Law
by: Mary Crow Dog

March 28, 1991
The book provided a side of an American culture that I was unaware of and frankly shocked to learn of. It wasn't a good shock either, the way in which our country treats the American Indians is appalling and actually disturbing. This is a book that should be read in history class, as its contents are not included in any history class I ever took.

.Emanuel Law Outlines: Torts, General Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Law
by: Steven Emanuel

July 18, 2005
This book breaks down Tort law tremendously. It was highly recommended by a second year law student and it totally helped when it came time for finals. It takes each section of the Prosser and Wade text and breaks it down into the most basic form. I'd recommend to all.

by: Sharon Koomen Harmon, Katherine E. Kennon

April 18, 2008
The fourth updated edition of Sharon Koomen Harmon, IIDA and AIA Katherine E. Kennon's THE CODES GUIDEBOOK FOR INTERIORS is a 'must' for any in-depth architecture or design reference library. It's the only guide devoted exclusively to codes relating to interiors alone, and explains all standards, federal regulations, maintenance of commercial and residential interiors alike, and more. This edition has been revised, updated and expanded to include many changes and more detailed coverage.

.Illegal People: How Globalization Creates Migration and Criminalizes Immigrants
City Travel Guides > Books > Law
by: David Bacon

September 17, 2008
This is a must read for anyone feeling pinched by a job loss in the US or who is boiling mad about illegal immigration to the US. This book goes a long way toward developing a context and the reasons for the mass migrations of labor throughout societies. If you are not mad at the US government and the Corporations who own it- you soon will be!

.Working for Yourself: Law & Taxes for Independent Contractors, Freelancers & Consultants
City Travel Guides > Books > Law
by: Stephen Fishman

February 10, 2008
I've looked at, bought, and borrowed several other books like this one, but none offered anywhere near the detail on income and self-employment tax that this book does. There are actually several chapters (5) dedicated just to taxation, including rates, audit trends, pros and cons of doing things one way over another, even information on paying estimated taxes that was written in a way that I finally understood it. I went through it all extensively with a highlighter, and came out understanding much more than when I'd asked my retired CPA uncle. As a newcomer to the self-employed workforce, I was grateful for the information I found here.

Oh, and the rest of the book is great too! The suggestions for record-keeping, documenting expenses, samples ... Read More:
