Unknown tragedyReview Date: 2007-05-28
This book clearly outlines the explosion and aftermath. However,it would certainly have been helpful to have some maps as the photographs were taken afterwards and it is sometimes difficult to get oriented.
I am actually rating this a 4.5, mainly because the writing style is very composed and almost flat. While I am not a fan of exclamation points and screaming capital letters, the author is a bit too detatched. I would like to have had a bit more emotion in the telling of what was certainly a major tragedy.

Immensely valuable.Review Date: 2000-09-18
Not only will the articles provide solid, helpful overviews on specific topics, but the bibliographies will lead the reader on to other works on specific topics. This one is a keeper.
Although parts of it will be easier to read for those with some background in philosophy, such a background is not strictly necessary. And the essays on introductory topics (torts, contracts, property, etc.) may serve the intelligent student as well as a shelf-full of "Nutshell" volumes.
This volume will also be of interest to readers who are already involved in the philosophy of law; a number of the articles herein were written by well-known names in the field (e.g. Jules Coleman, Ernest Weinrib) and can't be found elsewhere.
And if you're just now introducing yourself to a particular field of legal theory -- law and economics, say, or legal formalism -- the introductions in this volume are worth reading _before_ picking up specific books on the topic in question. You'll be better equipped to read even, say, Mercuro/Medema's excellent _Economics and the Law_ or Weinrib's also excellent _The Idea of Private Law_ after reading the overviews presented here.
Complete, thorough, and well written.Review Date: 1999-11-28
If you don't want to spend as much, buy the paperback edition, but I highly recommend you get the hardcover, as this will be a book you will use throughout your carreer and professional life, and the hardcover is very nicely binded.

The Concepts and Methods of Sales, Leases, and LicensesReview Date: 2001-01-29
The Concepts and Methods of Sales, Leases and Licenses is a tremendous resource for the law student who requires a mastery of sales and leases law, and how the Uniform Commercial Code's Articles 2 and 2A apply to real-world situations. Professor Rustad's treatise tames the "terrible 2s beast" for the most timid through the use of examples, and useful quick-reference charts.
The Concepts and Methods of Sales, Leases and Licenses contains practical problems that apply and analyze the methodology of Articles 2 and 2A with unpretentious, straightforward, succinct model answers. The text contain useful hints segments and indispensable tables for use as quick reference to determine which specific UCC section applies to a given set of facts. The treatise contains an informative discussion on the Federal Counterpart to Article 2, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty-Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act and provides information on other relevant bodies of sales law. There is a clear summary of the Vienna Convention or the Convention for the International Sale of Goods which applies to many international sales of goods between merchants.
Professor Rustad's draws upon his boyhood on a Minnesota farm to illustrate concepts of sales law. Those raised in a large metropolitan city learn all about agricultural commodities and the travails of farm life. His examples include such oddities as Alvin, the "Beefalow" and examples of sales nightmares to educate the law student to protect his against clients against, such as the defective watermelon seeds that required the farmer to destroy his harvest equipment and entire crop where his only remedy was the cost or replacement of the seeds. The text provides insightful examples on offer, tender, acceptance and rejection of goods and latent damages such as when a wool manufacturer shipped defective wool that did not manifest its defect until woven into sweaters, sold to consumers, and subsequently washed by the consumer. The text walks the student through the methodology of the UCC clearly demonstrating which specific sections of the code to apply and how to apply them in a real-world setting as a lawyer.
The text discusses how to apply common law causes of action through Article 1 of the UCC and provides useful tests to determine if a transaction is actually a sale or a lease. The text also describes the predominant purpose and gravamen tests for hybrid transactions such as computers loaded with software to determine which body of law applies.
Overall, the book is an exceptional resource of information containing practical and useful material for preparing for an exam or the multistate bar. The Concepts and Methods of Sales, Leases and Licenses is highly recommended for the law student and law library. The book is also a useful reference for associates or business persons interested in a good overview of sales, leases and licenses.

Harry Jenkins has worked under his senior partner's thumb for years in a Toronto small estates practice. When his partner drops dead from a stroke in their office, suddenly Harry is on his own and free to run their law-firm his own way. Almost immediately, he is swept into the conflict surrounding the estate of his wealthy client, Marjorie Deighton, and his naïveté lands him in the midst of a massive money-laundering scheme, engineered by the enigmatic Mr. Chin. Harry is convinced Marjorie was murdered but Sergeant Welkom gives little credence to his theories until Marjorie's will is stolen and her maid found murdered
At the root of Conduct in Question is the sadistic murderer dubbed by the media as "The Florist." The Florist haunts Toronto, a serial killer who marks his victims with his "art," floral designs he carves into their skin. The Florist hides behind the rigidly controlled mask he presents the world. Is The Florist somehow involved in the money-laundering scheme in which Harry is mired? Will Harry, despite his naïveté and personal troubles, find the answers before The Florist kills again?
Mary E. Martin has crafted a solid beginning to her trilogy of legal thrillers. A bit slow at the start, readers will soon be drawn into the drama created by the bickering members of Marjorie's family, and the slowly blossoming relationship between Harry and realtor Natasha Boretsky. Harry is a very human character who is torn between his desire to uphold the ethics of the law and to keep his practice afloat. The manner in which Harry faces these dilemmas provides heart to this thriller.
Mary E. Martin, a member of the Law Society of Upper Canada, practiced law in Toronto for twenty-eight years. Conduct in Question is her first novel.
Can't wait for the next installment...Review Date: 2005-11-23
Harry's character develops through the novel, and you can't help but cheer him on. The other characters are finely detailed, as is the plot.
Harry's life has always been on the conservative side, he has a routine job in a small firm, and he wonders if things will ever change. Then his partner drops dead, his wife seems to be gone more and more, and the death of a long-time client leads to secrets that shatter Harry's once calm existence. Harry is caught up in corporate greed, money laundering, fraud, murder, and some newly awakened feelings of desire for the beautiful Natasha.
Can he ever again find the calm existence that he once despised?
This is the first in a trilogy by author Mary E Martin, and I can't wait for the second installment!

Highly Original Plot With Some Psychological Horror Thrown InReview Date: 2005-12-20
Martin's principal protagonist, Harry Jenkins, is portrayed as an honest and sincere general family solicitor specializing in estate law, who finds himself over his head, as he becomes innocently involved in money laundering and murder.
The story unfolds when Jenkins witnesses his partner Richard Crawford drop dead in front of him, as a result of a massive heart attack-leaving Jenkins the sole remaining partner in the law firm of Crane, Crawford and Jenkins.
Prior to his death, Crawford had instructed Jenkins to draw up a trust for one of the firm's clients, Marjorie Deighton.
Jenkins had also just received a retainer of two hundred thousand dollars from a new client, Albert Chin, who had been referred to him by one of his colleagues. The sum was to be used to purchase several parcels of land that were located very near Marjorie Deighton's property. Jenkins suspects something fishy, however, the lure of earning some "big bucks" causes him to turn a blind eye and not to delve too closely into the source of these funds or the client's motives as to why he wishes to purchase the real estate.
When Jenkins tries to deposit the two hundred thousand dollars in his trust account, the teller informs him that the assistant manager, Mr. Mudhali, wishes to have a word with him. After being ushered into Mudhali's office, Jenkins is informed that the firm's line of credit of fifty thousand dollars is in arrears and in order for him to deposit the two hundred thousand dollars he will be required to immediately repay the arrears. Completely taken aback, Jenkins is further astonished to discover that Crawford pledged the firm's account as his own personal line of credit for a loan of five hundred thousand dollars. How was this possible without Jenkin's signature?
Placed into a very difficult situation, Jenkins realizes that if he fails to clear the arrears, the trust account would be frozen and he would be obliged to return the retainer to Chin. Against his better judgment, Jenkins uses fifty thousand dollars of the trust funds to pay the arrears and the balance he deposits into the firm's trust account.
While all of this is going on, we learn that there is a serial killer on the loose in Toronto named the florist , who after murdering his victims, carves rose petals on their bodies. To add a little more suspense, Marjorie Deighton dies under very suspicious circumstances, leaving as her legatees her two nieces, Katherine and Suzannah and a nephew, Gerry. However, complicating matters is that Marjorie Deighton's last will, that was prepared by Harry Jenkins, seems to have been misplaced, lost or stolen. The previous will had bequeathed the house to her niece Suzannah, while the last will had the estate divided into three equal shares, including the house.
Martin whips up a highly original plot spicing it with a mix of some psychological horror. All of the characters are subtly interwoven into the threads of the story, and with its quick pace and gruesome details, the novel is an auspicious inauguration to Martin's trilogy.

Such a great book...Review Date: 2005-11-01

Concise, thorough, accurateReview Date: 2002-05-08
As with all the Emanuels, this one is organized very well, packing a lot of info in and still making it readable. I recommend periodically surveying the summarized outline at the beginning; then look up your assigned cases in the index and read enough to give you a feel for the issues before you read the cases. Unless your prof is going for breadth and not depth, you won't get through half of this bad boy, but what you do cover will be in here.
Best of all, this supp is very accurate. I regularly brought it to class to refer to, and I thought I had stolen my prof's lecture notes. It clarifies ambiguous doctrines, while appropriately throwing up its hands when commenting on the Court's stance would be guesswork.
I hear all sorts of great things about Tribe, but this was the bomb for me, a lot cheaper and more versatile.

Unlike your law professor, the author of this book does not play hide the ball. The relevant Constitutional Law issues and conclusions are clearly identified with no tricks, answerless hypotheticals, or the shameful deceptions that you are likely to find in a Constitutional Law textbook.
The book is well organized and written in a way that you can easily come up with the "black letter law" and modes of argument so that you can be successful in your class.
This book's coverage is very broad; it can be used for both Constitutional Law and Constitutional Rights classes.
It has a "Capsule Summary" that briefly explains the major points that the book will cover. I read over the Capsule Summary and found it very helpful in creating a framework that helped me understand everything in detail throughout the rest of the book.
Emanuel has already peiced the cases together for you. You can figure out what the common state of Constitutional Law very quickly. This is very helpful if your professor is going to give you an issue-spotter/essay test.
I am very pleased with the experience that I had with this book (2005 edition). I rarely went to my Constitutional Law class and never did any of the readings. I studied this book in the days leading up to the final exam and scored in the top 10% of the class! If I could do this, then it is not too far fetched to believe that a diligent/more intelligent student would have even more impressive results.

Nonprofit/charity sector consultants' reference bookReview Date: 2000-11-25
The book's sixteen chapters cover basic and advanced topics, from retaining an attorney BEFORE starting a consulting practice to how to handle the legal problems that may come up despite the consultant's best efforts to avoid them through good planning. Concise narrative, entertaining case studies, and solid analysis are interspersed with examples of contracts and forms a consultant can use in their own practice.
The contracts and forms discussed and shown in the book are also included in a 3.5" floppy disk. The documents on the single PC-formatted diskette are stored in Word 6.0/95 format.
One of my personal pet peeves is sole-practitioner consultants who do not treat their consulting practice as a business. The first few chapters of the book address all the contracts, agreements, and situations that a consultant faces before dealing with a client -- leasing office space, contracting for insurance, banking, telephone, advertising, and other services. It's a useful reminder that a consultancy is more than a one-man-band, and that "being your own boss" involves significant responsibility and risk as well as significant freedom and personal satisfaction.
The chapter that discusses working with nonprofit clients is written from a for-profit perspective; the stereotypical case studies center on agencies with no budgets and volunteers making promises and representations the board can't or won't honor. This is unfortunate, since most nonprofits, like their for-profit brethren, are fiscally sound, responsible corporations that can and do retain consultants in a businesslike way and compensate them based on their value.
Whether you're a novice or experienced consultant, The Consultant's Legal Guide is valuable as both a tutorial and a reference/resource work to help your practice succeed.
