The Origin of our Bill of Rights 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

"The Anti-Federalist Papers" along with the "Federalist Papers" is an excellent way to really learn about how our Constitution came about. Pseudonyms like The Centinel, The Pennsylvania Farmer, John DeWitt, Cato, et.al. set forth the cons against why various provisions of our Constitution should be viewed with great suspicion, and they offered counter proposals to safeguard our freedoms from ultimate despotism. I haven't read all the papers as I am also studying the Federalist Papers along with this book; but I am finding that many of the warnings the Anti-Federalists expressed have either come true or have come a long way toward becoming true.

I surely recommend purchasing this book if you want to learn the truth behind the reasons for our Constitution being as it is, and if you want to finally understand this very important basis for our government.

Editorial Review:

The dissenting opinions of Patrick Henry and others who saw the Constitution as a threat to our hard-won rights and liberties.

Editorial Review:

Until now, only the twelve jurors who sat in judgment were able to appreciate these virtuoso performances, where weeks of testimony were boiled down and presented with flair, wit, and high drama. For five years the authors researched every archive from those of the L.A. Times to the dusty stacks of the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and readers can now lose themselves in the summations of America's finest litigators.

Clarence Darrow saves Leopold and Loeb from the gallows in the Roaring Twenties. Gerry Spence takes on the nuclear power industry for the death of Karen Silkwood in a modern-day David and Goliath struggle. Vincent Bugliosi squares off against the madness of Charles Manson and his murderous "family" in the aftermath of their bloody spree. Clara Foltz, the first woman to practice law in California, argues passionately to an all-male jury, defending her place in the courtroom. Bobby DeLaughter brings the killer of civil-rights leader Medgar Evers to justice after thirty years and two mistrials. Aubrey Daniel brings Lt. William Calley, Jr., to justice for the My Lai massacre. William Kunstler challenges the establishment after the '68 Chicago riots in his defense of yippie leaders known as the Chicago Seven.

Each closing argument is put into context by the authors, who provide historical background, a brief biography of each attorney, and commentary, pointing out the trial tactics used to great effect by the lawyers, all in language that is jargon-free for the benefit of the lay reader.

Information outdated 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I bought the 12th Edition in Feb. 2008 - suppose to be the latest revision at that time. Lots of information in there are actually out-of-date. For example, the Disclosure Document Program described in it has already been terminated by the Patent office. I followed its instructions in there and then ended up wasting lots of time.

Total waste of time and money. Well, may be the book is not that bad itself but just the rapid changing nature of the information it's covering. Afterwards I found all the information I needed from the Internet. It's better off just find them on the Web instead of depending on this book.

Awesome! 5 out of 5 stars.

Awesome book! Helped with every step of the Patent process and to clear up many, many misconceptions. I would recommend this to everyone planning to write their own patent, need help or thinking of hiring an attorney. Which you won't need after you read this book!

Editorial Review:

Pressman, a patent attorney, former patent examiner and inventor, explains the entier process--from the patent search to filing a successful patent application.

Ok, but No Freer 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 6 people found this review helpful.

E&E is a great series. I've found many of the books helpful in supplementing law school reading that can be at times difficult to synthesize. However, Freer's supplement on civil procedure is unbeatable.

Law school is about knowing the rule and applying the facts. E&E is great at helping you to know the rule. However, it doesn't help you figure out how to apply the facts, especially in a way pertinent to law school exams. Freer's book is full of examples and frameworks that assure success on your CivPro exam. This is especially true of the frameworks he lays out for analyzing Personal Jurisdiction problems and Erie.

Buy Freer and you'll be happier going into your final.

Editorial Review:

Students know they can count on expert study guide author Joseph W. Glannon to clarify even the most complicated topics. Unquestionable effectiveness earned his civil procedure guides their bestselling status. Extensively revised and updated for its Fifth Edition, "Civil Procedure: Examples & Explanations" continues to introduce the principles of civil procedure and illustrate how they apply in typical cases.

good book, however...... 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This an excellent book to start your non profit but the bylaws, article of inc., and other such documents is typed in the back of the book but not on the disc. You evidently have to retype it yourself. The 1023, ss-4, and other forms are on the disc with the publications. In general, I wish the book went more in depth about the 1023 form since this is the most critical form for a non profit. Otherwise, excellent book and great tool for starting a non profit organization.

All the Paperwork without the Lawyers. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book would be better titled: "How to apply for 501(c)3 non-profit tax exempt status including examples with forms on CD". This book is for applying for non-profit status, but should be read even if you are just thinking of starting a non-profit. If you really do not know what you need to apply as a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization and want to do as much as you can on your own, this is the book to help you fill out the forms and make sure you have all your paperwork lined up and ready. This is not the book to help you decide what your non-profit purpose will be, how to actually organize the people and resources, or any of the details necessary to create your non-profit organization. This book is for the time you are ready to apply for non-profit status. Even though it's an end of process book, I highly recommend this book for the beginning stages of forming a non-profit. It will really show you what you need, and with that information you can find other books and assistance when necessary to initiate the process of becoming a non-profit. This is a good book to have even if you are just thinking of starting a non-profit. It will help answer many questions and eventually help you complete the process on your own without the price of a lawyer, if you can not afford an attorney. If you are starting or even thinking of starting a non-profit group, this book is worth the price of admission (even when not on sale) to open, read, and use. But like all non-profits, use your funds wisely and in your groups best interest, find the book on sale somewhere. Oh, and like all books with examples and forms, check for updates and changes with the appropriate agency. Not all forms and information will be current after publication date.

Editorial Review:

Here is the definitive guide for arts groups, educators, social service agencies, environmentalists and anyone who wants to start a nonprofit organization. It shows step-by-step how to form and operate a tax-exempt nonprofit corporation in all 50 states, and includes complete instructions for obtaining federal (501)(c)(3) tax exemption and for qualifying for public charity status with the IRS.
