This new edition (formerly Oberer, Heinsz, & Nolan's Labor Law casebook) takes a distinctive approach to the topic. The first quarter provides a... mini-course in American labor law history, describing the development of labor law in the U.S. This section provides students with the social, political, and economic context necessary to appreciate the doctrinal material presented in the remaining book. Unlike most labor law casebooks, this one remains lean: cases are tightly edited, notes are brief, and the text hews closely to major points.

The 6th edition is a major update with new cases, notes and commentary in all subjects. Significantly, it is also an expansion to new areas of land use... regulation that make the book more modern and comprehensive than its competitors. New topics include a chapter on Global Warming, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Renewable Solar and Wind Energy, Rainwater Capture and Conservation, and Green Development Standards; a new section on Zoning Litigation, which covers ripeness, finality and exhaustion of remedies, standing, statutes of limitations, and judicial review. There is also a new section on hillside preservation as well as a new section on federal and state transportation and regional land use plans to control urban sprawl. Commentary on intergovernmental conflicts and judicial takings is also included. Coverage has been enhanced in numerous areas, including modern state planning acts, types of plans, and cases on consistency; new cases on conditional uses and spot zoning; expanded coverage of New Urbanism, addressing traditional neighborhood and transit oriented development, form based codes, and mixed use walkable centers; and expanded coverage of tax increment financing.

The 5th edition covers the entire range of modern land use legal practice and constitutional litigation from the onset of Euclidean zoning through the... wide range of new issues arising in the 21st century. Completely new are developments in takings law from Kelo on public purpose and the state backlash, as well as Lingle?s explication of regulatory takings and substantive due process. New cases on accessory uses, zoning out competitors, and contract zoning accompany the classic cases of the prior edition. Topics covered include regulation of formula businesses, sustainability and green standards, new urbanism, transit oriented development, mixed use and the resurgence of large scale new towns, new perspectives on affordable housing, revitalization of cities in light of the mortgage crisis affecting suburban sprawl, new regional and state policies for growth management, conservation of water and monetization of solar energy. There is enhanced coverage of the Clean Water Act (TMDLs) and wetlands (the Rapanos case) and of disaster planning for fire hazards and flooding. This edition is a must to meet the felt needs of students and professors to engage in a new century of creative legal thinking for real world problems and solutions.

The Seventh Edition adds new material to the casebook about race, the coming of the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Reunion. Two new thematic essays... explore 1) the history of secessionist thought in the nation from 1776 to 1861 (the creation date of the Confederacy), and 2) the effort by Radical Republicans during the era of Congressional Reconstruction, 1866-1876, to rebuild the South in the model of a biracial democracy, and the resounding failure of these efforts by 1910. We are also adding cases, primary legal and political documents (especially regarding the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments), and notes to illustrate and to further develop these themes. The addition of this new material substantially broadens and enriches the book's coverage on matters of race and nation since 1865. The new content will also provide additional context for understanding materials that appear elsewhere in the book: in particular the Sherman Anti-Trust Act (the enduring vision of free market-libertarian ideology), the New Deal and NLRB (the eventual dominance of national power over free market-libertarian ideology), Brown v. Board of Education (overruling Plessy v. Ferguson and beginning a reversal of the earlier failure of racial reconciliation), and late 20th century critical legal studies and feminist theory (further developing concepts of equality).

This documents supplement is the first legislation casebook supplement providing detailed legislative history and administrative materials to complement... the cases and problems in the main text. At the option of the instructor, students can read the original materials that were central to statutory enactment and are debated in leading federal court decisions: the Affirmative Action Cases (Weber, Johnson, and Ricci), the Christian Nation Case (Holy Trinity), the Expert Fees Cases (West Virginia Hospitals v. Casey and Blanchard v. Bergeron), the Spotted Owl Case (Sweet Home), the Carries a Gun Case (Muscarello), the Bankrupt Family Farm Case (Sinclair), and others. In each instance, the statute-specific materials include an overview of the enactment process and a set of questions that can guide student inquiry and help frame classroom discussions

The fourth edition maintains the pathbreaking materials on theories of legislation, the legislative process, representational structures, campaign... finance, regulation of lobbying, direct democracy, the relation of statutes and the common law, statutory interpretation, and statutory implementation. The new edition features up-to-date coverage of the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007, as well as substantially expanded coverage of judicial deference to administrative agency interpretation.

This book provides a comprehensive collection of Cases and Materials On Marine Insurance Law. The sources included here are not always readily... accessible. Each chapter is introduced with a brief resume of the general principles,before the facts of each case are summarised and the extracts of the relevant parts of judgments reproduced. The significance of the judicial extracts, the statutory materials and standard terms are then discussed with particular emphasis on important and problematical areas of the law.This book will be indispensable not only to postgraduate students of law, in-house lawyers, insurance brokers and claims adjusters, but also to students of maritime studies, legal practitioners and a wide range of professionals within the shipping industry who may wish to have at hand a convenient source of information.

The second edition of this law school casebook, like the first, focuses on modern admiralty practice. The cases and materials selected discuss current... issues that a maritime lawyer faces, in addition to the historical bases of those issues. This second edition includes new and significant cases decided since the first edition was published, including cases affecting vessel status, maritime contracts and punitive damages. Another key feature of the book remains the inclusion of applicable legislation alongside cases, rather than in a statutory supplement. This inclusion allows students to see and understand the critical relationship between case law and statutes in admiralty. The book can be used for a general admiralty course or for a shorter, more focused maritime personal injury course.

Cases are organized over four periods: a 25-year period from 1890 to 1914 in which most of today's issues were foreshadowed; a second 25-year period... from 1915 to 1939 in which the rule of reason; forced courts to investigate the actual consequences of business practices; a 35-year period from 1940 to 1975 in which the per se rule and industry concentration provided the predominant models for analysis; and the ;modern period,; now itself almost 35 years long.

This new edition captures all of the recent and rapidly emerging changes in case law and legislation, yet retains its student- and professor-friendly... approach to the policies and rules of patent law. This version teaches the far-reaching legal tenets of patent law that are as venerable as the Constitution itself and yet as current as the latest developments from the laboratory bench. Like its successful predecessor, this casebook draws on insights from other areas of US law and from aspects of foreign systems as well. Because patent law plays a vital role in the international marketplace, students must understand US law in the context of international patent systems to properly represent their clients.
