Book Description
Excerpt from The State Corporation as a Party in the Federal Courts In tracing this construction and drawing some conclusions and suggestions therefrom, I shall not take up the various judiciary and removal acts of Congress, for, though that body may endow the inferior Federal courts with less jurisdiction than the Constitution warrants, it can not rightfully bestow greater. From the formation of the State to the adoption of the National Constitution, Massachusetts chartered but one corporation (curtis's Jurisdiction, Ch. Judging by the history of that leading Commonwealth, the number of corporations in all the States when the Constitution was adopted did not equal the present daily average for Indiana. The inference is strong that the case of corporations as parties in non-federal litiga tion was not actually in the minds of the framers in formulating the judiciary article of the Constitution. Undoubtedly the use of the word person would have let in corporations, and that, too, within the common acceptation of the word at the time, and without creating a fiction or irrebuttable presumption. But the Constitution itself (and the Amendments) shows a careful and precise use of the words person and citizen. The President must be a citizen. Citizens are entitled to certain privileges and immunities. A person charged with treason. No person shall be held to answer. No person shall be deprived, etc. The Supreme Court has always held that a corporation is a person within those provisions of the Constitution in which the word person is employed. The Supreme Court has always held that a corporation is not a citizen within those provisions of the Constitution in which the word citizen is employed, except the section conferring jurisdiction on the Federal courts. Under that section it has never been held that a corporation is a citizen, but in some cases it has been said that a corpora tion, for the purposes of Federal jurisdiction, may be deemed to be a citizen.

Book Description
"It is sometimes thought, and very often said, that political writing, after its special day is done, becomes more dead than any other kind of literature, or even journalism. I do not know whether my own judgment is perverted by the fact of a special devotion to the business, but it certainly seems to me that both the thought and the saying are mistakes. Indeed, a rough-and-ready refutation of them is supplied by the fact that, in no few cases, political pieces have entered into the generally admitted stock of the best literary things."

Book Description
Award-winning author and professor, Laura E. Little, has updated her approachable and practical study guide to what is considered one of the most challenging and abstract subjects in the law. Examples & Explanations for Federal Courts grounds the law of federal courts for students by providing brief textual introduction to doctrines, as well as examples, analytical answers, and graphical depictions of the legal doctrine. The new edition maintains the highly admired, straightforward Examples & Explanations format yet also includes many important cutting-edge developments in the field, omitted from competing books. New to the 4th Edition: Discussion of new case law on Article III arising under jurisdiction Review of new cases concerning diversity jurisdiction and supplemental jurisdiction Extensive revision and expansion of the standing materials, including standing issues arising in cases concerning gerrymandering, statutory rights, and false electoral speech Review of new cases pertaining to congressional control over federal courts Materials on the impact of an important decision pertaining to Younger abstention doctrine, Sprint Communications v. Jacobs, 571 U.S. 69 (2013) Integration of the myriad cases making subtle refinements and changes to the law of federal habeas corpus Professors and students will benefit from: Forthright treatment of nuanced and unsettled issues in the law— Federal courts is a discipline that resists black letter simplification of legal concepts: this study guide not only recognizes that fact, but also capitalizes on it, without sacrificing clarity or meaningful analysis. Award-winning author known for ability to present complicated subjects in an understandable fashion—A widely respected federal courts scholar, Professor Laura Little has lectured worldwide on federal courts issues and is a frequent federal jurisdiction lecturer for federal judges at judicial conferences and programs sponsored by the Federal Judicial Center. She has published several articles in the field of federal court jurisdiction and has won many teaching prizes (including a top teaching honor, the Great Teacher Award) as well as scholarship awards. Her work in procedural subjects has recently been acknowledged by the American Law Institute, which appointed her to serve as Associate Reporter for the Restatement (Third) of Conflict of Laws. Accessible and clear writing style and flexible organization—With lucid explanations of complex areas of the law, the volume breaks down doctrines into component parts. Organization adapts well to a variety of teaching approaches; topics are organized according to the various functions of federal courts, which gives the book thematic coherence while still allowing students to use the content according to their own needs. Written so that each chapter stands on its own. Visual aids—Includes several graphs and illustrations that illustrate both “macro” and “micro” understandings of the material; some are designed to convey larger relationships among doctrines and institutions, while others are designed to illustrate the intricacies of rules. Examples that model good lawyering and exam-taking techniques—The examples demonstrate complexities and ambiguities in the legal doctrine. The explanations provide models of practical skills for coping with uncertainty in the law. Through the explanations, students can learn to anticipate and outline arguments on both sides of a controversy. A book highly regarded by other Federal Courts professors—Both new and experienced federal courts professors report that they use the book for their own class preparation. Many professors use the book as a required text for their Federal Courts course.

Book Description
Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
