A wonderful primer to estate planning that tells you what it's going to tell you and then tells you!Review Date: 2007-09-28
I loved this book. It was simply wonderful to read. The title matches up perfectly with the content. And the content is very well presented. I would have liked the book better if it had included a Glossary, but the fact that one was not included doesn't kill my high opinion of this book.
Estate planning can be a VERY complicated endeavor. However, it need not be for most people. And this book is aimed at presenting the basics regarding estate planning for the average Tom, Dick, or Mary. It covers wills, will substititutes, and trusts. It covers retirement planning (a little) and some on planning for incapacity.
Of course, what would an estate planning book be without a little discussion on Federal Estate Taxes and techniques to reduce the bite of those taxes if you have a little larger than normal net worth. Lastly, there is some talk about lawyers that practice estate planning, and how to consider hiring one if you might have a need to do so.
Nolo is noted for its self-help mentality, and this book is geared to help Nolo's target audience. If you think your net worth is significant and you will require the services of a competent estate tax planning attorney, then this book is probably not one you will want to read. However, this book does cover the basics and might be helpful to ease you into the subject. 5 stars!

The reader finds himself questioning how such an event could occur in a small town where everyone knows everyone. The reader then discovers that a small town is the best place to keep secrets.
The author does a wonderful job of detailing the court room saga. The reader waits anxiously for justice to prevail. Are we disappointed or rewarded? This book has made me a fan of historical fiction. The details of real life interwoven with fiction make for more than an enjoyable read.

A Fascinating Look at Sociological Change in the WorkplaceReview Date: 2004-06-06
Ms. English has collected an impressive array of candid and insightful quotes from a multitude of male and female attorneys representing every region of the country. Well researched and written in a highly engaging style, GENDER ON TRIAL provides a window into the world of law regarding the dynamics of the gender differences, attitudes, and interactions that lie therein.
I suspected that I would learn a great deal from reading this book, but I didn't expect to enjoy it so much!

As a practicing attorney (male) of thirty years (and an all-too-frequent casualty of the dreaded fourteen hour days), I found this book to be informative, eye-opening, and most of all, encouraging.
Ms. English makes a compelling case for accepting and embracing change. Her book should be required reading at every law firm in America.
Not Just for LawyersReview Date: 2003-09-23
As a female non-lawyer, many of the anecdotes rang true to me as I looked back on my own awkward experiences navigating the corporate world twenty years ago. Generally, I think professional workplace behavior is gradually becoming more sensitive to gender differences, but there is a long way to go. Gender on Trial should be mandatory reading for Human Resource professionals and both men and women in all managerial positions, not just lawyers.

Must ReadReview Date: 2007-05-27
With the exception of those on the payroll of the United States Government, Michael Ratner (with staff he directs at the Center for Constitutional Rights and volunteer lawyers he assembled) knows more about Guantánamo than anyone.
The book is a quick read at 93 pages of text.
For those who have grown up believing that the rule of law is central to our democracy, it is a chilling read.
Published in mid-2004 it reviews a broad array of the issues which had arisen as of that time and which continue to inform the realities on the ground at Gitmo today. It provides a careful analysis of the ways in which "rule by executive fiat" deviated from the U.S. Constitution, the entirety of the Anglo-American legal tradition, the Geneva Conventions, and international law.
He discusses how a great percentage of persons were selected to be prisoners at Guantánamo, a great many by bounty hunters capturing persons far from any battlefield, the bounties paid for by U.S. tax dollars. He discusses extraordinary rendition of prisoners rendered to countries known to torture, the "outsourcing" of torture.
He recounts the abuse and torture suffered meted out to those interrogated at Guantánamo and links the methods used there to those later made infamous by the exposé of interrogations at Abu Ghraib.
The more serious reader will appreciate the 66-pages of primary source documents collected in the appendix covering a broad range of topics from the original lease of Guantánamo from the Cuba to relevant parts of Geneva Conventions to a series of memoranda issued by various departments of the executive branch which framed some of the major issues that the detentions at Guantánamo present for our country.
For anyone concerned about the state of our democracy, this is an important book.
The True Story Behind an American Gulag Review Date: 2004-08-14
Good account of the USA's concentration camp at GuantanamoReview Date: 2004-12-16
The Bush government then set up `combatant status review tribunals', supposedly to decide whether the detainees had been correctly designated as enemy combatants and therefore were being rightfully detained according to the laws of combat. However, the administration breached the Supreme Court's ruling that the prisoners had the right to challenge their detentions in civilian courts, since all the tribunals' members are military officers.
Guantanamo is `an interrogation camp', which is flatly illegal, under US and international law. It harks back to Stuart Britain's offshore penal colonies which were beyond the reach of law, forms of executive imprisonment which the 1679 Habeas Corpus Act made illegal. The US detention centres in Iraq, Afghanistan and Diego Garcia and on board US aircraft carriers are modern Devil's Islands.
The International Committee of the Red Cross has reported that US forces had inflicted on the 550 prisoners illegally held at Guantanamo Bay psychological and physical coercion that was `tantamount to torture'. It said, "the construction of such a system, whose stated purpose is the production of intelligence, cannot be considered other than an intentional system of cruel, unusual and degrading treatment and a form of torture." At least three children, between 11 and 13, were held at Guantanamo; some are still there today.
The British state is guilty of collaboration and connivance with these illegal US state actions. British courts, like US courts, are using as evidence statements made under duress and torture in these US-run camps, thereby condoning the use of torture.

lots of teachers in my family, not anymore!Review Date: 2006-04-26
The odds of having any sort of false accusation made against you is really high...nothing is too low for many of these folks seeking to make money. You are lower than the garbage man, people are more intimidated because the garbage man knows where these folks live. Bartenders & cashiers gets better treatment, because they could spit in your drink, plus all your peers are watching.
Many of the kids won't mind, they aren't prepared for schooling, their parents didn't want to "break their spirit" by teaching appropriate behavior or discipline--unlike any other animal social pack on the planet.
Alot of the kids households are highly unstable, abusing drugs & alcohol, lots of men & women come & going from the homes, so that highly increases the chances of the kids being sexualized, relating to the world through sexuality, desperate for attention, manipulative, YET very angry and punitive.
These kids don't have much chance of learning study skills or even having a stable house to do homework or prepare for school, so not much future prospects. So they & their parents are going to "survive" at all costs even if it's taking advantage of a teacher or the school system. Or they'll take revenge over their failure in parenting, sue the teacher or school.
Here's a sad story:...
"Teacher who died in prison is cleared posthumously of rape
A WEST Yorkshire, UK, teacher who died in prison after being convicted of raping one his pupils has been cleared posthumously.
Timothy Gee was jailed for eight years when he was convicted at Leeds Crown Court in 2001. He fell ill and died from an undiagnosed blood cancer the following year.
Always maintaining his innocence, Mr Gee launched two unsuccessful appeals before his death. He has now been cleared by the Court of Appeal.
Campaigners have described the case as one of the worst miscarriages of justice they have seen.
Gail Saunders, of the campaign group Falsely Accused Carers and Teachers, said: "It is an appalling example of the extraordinary difficulties faced by individuals who are accused of abuse many years after the alleged offence."
Mr Gee's 88-year-old mother Molly has been awarded more than ?62,000 costs by the court after battling to clear her son's name. As part of that bid, she contacted the Criminal Cases Review Commission, which asked a leading psychiatrist to report on the girl - now aged 26 - who had accused Mr Gee of rape.
While the study cast doubt on the girl's mental state, it emerged that she had also made similar accusations against another man, whose conviction was quashed earlier this year.
Mrs Gee said: "It all boiled down to one girl's word against his, and the jury believed her. That's all it took to send my son to prison and it has left me very angry and grief stricken. I don't think anyone should have to work alone with a child - it's just too easy for an allegation like this to be made."
Mr Gee, from Lindley, Huddersfield, taught brass instruments for 25 years in Kirklees and Calderdale before he was accused of raping and indecently assaulting a pupil in a Huddersfield school in 1989.
He died aged 55 in August 2002, a month after his second appeal failed.
Overturning Mr Gee's conviction, Lady Justice Smith said that experts now believed the girl's statements to be "unreliable."

In a word, 'inspiring'.Review Date: 2004-11-16
Mr. Babitz explains it all in plain language, illustrating how the federal government has meticulously, over time, eroded the sovereignty of the individual state republican governments. In the first two chapters, Babitz clearly defines the limitations on the federal government set forth by the Constitution and how the federal government has overstepped those limitations. The unconstitutionality of specific issues are outlined such as how the Supreme Court, with the aid of the unconstitutional Judiciary Act of 1789, has exceeded its jurisdiction, how the Supreme Court and special interest groups unconstitutionally take part in legislative decisions, how the Supreme Court illegally invokes the equal protection clause to strike down actual state laws that apply to all persons in the same way, as well as our unconstitutional tax system, unconstitutional federal banking system and much more. Babitz even breaks down, in the simplest of terms, such fundamental principles as the First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law..." Babitz explains here how state legislatures and municipalities are clearly not Congress and therefore the First Amendment should not apply.
Mr. Babitz then looks at the three methods that have been used in the past to combat unconstitutional federal action; resolution, nullification and secession. Resolution being the only method that has been successful, i.e. the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions against the Alien and Sedition Acts.
The book concludes with a clearly delineated plan of action for state legislatures to take to regain state sovereignty and put an end to federal usurpation of power. An outstanding sample resolution is provided in which the reader may pattern their own resolution to be submitted to their state legislature. The Appendix includes the U.S. Constitution with all Amendments. The Bibliography is sure to include several volumes the reader will want to add to their list.
This is definitely a book which I will add to my list of essential reading for conservative Christian Americans. One of the best books of the year.

The Most Important Book You'll Ever Read!Review Date: 2004-01-14
Babitz does a great job of laying the case for how our government has totally over-stepped its boundaries and takes advantage of our freedom.
When I finished reading this book, I was angry and motivated to take action. I felt like everyone was lying to me about what the government was supposed to be and do. The biggest surprise to me was how the Federal Government, especially the Supreme Court has systematically eroded our freedom and the contempt that they have for the true Constitution.
If only our history and civics teachers would tell us the truth about the government our Founding Fathers put in place. Babitz exposes some of the most troubling myths about taxes, civil rights and state's rights using an effective mix of history and current events.
Not only does Babitz clearly articulate the problem, but he also prescribes a reasonable and rational remedy for restoring our true constitution. The more people that read this book, the better off our country will be!
This is not the easiest book you'll ever read, but it is definitely the most important! SP

I did not give this book 5 stars because it needs more examples. The examples and charts were the best thing about the book, but there were far too few of them.
Given the dearth of comprehensible books in this area, I think this book is a great choice if you are looking for help in a class. Practicioners, however, will need more detail than this book will provide.

International taxation made understandableReview Date: 2004-10-27
It is a perfect beginner's book as it reveals the ideas behind otherwise incomprehensible laws.
For those who later on get lost in the maze you can always come back to the basics in this book.
I haven't seen any other writer explain the basics so well.
The only thing that I am disappointed with at this moment, October 2004, is that there is not an updated version available.
I would buy it the moment it comes out.
Also, I agree with one of the reviewers of this book that 4 years in the international taxation world is a very long time.
We now need more updated information on tax shelters in this book for one thing.
Mr. Isenbergh please update this book and publish it.
