Now Amice has her chance, but she can’t take it. Instead, she deals with the rackety Prem Montmorency, his peculiar plans, and his maman’s outrageous scheme. She can’t mend Fitz’s broken heart, but she can do something to ease the pressure. Amice is good at problem solving, but the only way out of her multiple complications might be a proposal by proxy.
Download or read book Performing Pippin Pearmain 9 written by Lark Westerly and published by eXtasy Books. This book was released on with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pippin Pearmain is having the time of her life. After ten years of solitary peace interrupted only by cats and recalcitrant lemons, it’s all systems go for Pip. Her first film role in a decade is about to premiere, and she’s expecting a new companion and the launch of a family treasure. The next festival, Tales in Tune, is underway, and Pip’s dancing troupe, the newly named Pippinalia, expects her to pull something special out of her hat. So—no filming this time, but no leisure time either! Her old friend Tamzin’s suggestion that the festival is a good venue for launching the newly reprinted book Grandmother’s Sunshine has metamorphosed into a giant day-long affair with multiple titles by multiple authors. With ten minutes to make an impression and a veil of playful secrecy, authors and their minions are creeping around in corners, rehearsing their pitches. Pip and her cousins are no exception, but luckily they have Dirk, the Hot Unicorn, in their corner. Grandmother’s Sunshine is to be released, but that’s not all. There’s the new ballet, Caprice, an inexplicable midnight visit from the original cat, a silver pin…and Pip’s understanding of her reality is tossed up like a salad. When the dust settles, everything is changed—except for Pippin Picotee Pearmain. She’s still going strong, and she’s sure she’s better than ever!

Book excerpt: Margaret has been in a comfortable rut for years. Maybe that’s why she’s so nonplussed when an attractive stranger gives her flowers and invites her to dinner. Meeting Owen and his companion, Duck, opens new vistas for Margaret, but what will her twin sister, Marguerite, make of her romance? Marguerite and Margaret have always been chalk and cheese, but when the chance discovery of a forgotten childhood secret threatens Margaret’s happiness, her sister has the words she needs to hear. As Marguerite points out, who hasn’t done something they are ashamed of? And maybe, even after fifty years, it’s not too late to make things right.

Download or read book Friends of the Supreme Court Interest Groups and Judicial Decision Making written by Paul M. Collins, Jr. and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-08-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Supreme Court is a public policy battleground in which organized interests attempt to etch their economic, legal, and political preferences into law through the filing of amicus curiae ("friend of the court") briefs. In Friends of the Supreme Court: Interest Groups and Judicial Decision Making, Paul M. Collins, Jr. explores how organized interests influence the justices' decision making, including how the justices vote and whether they choose to author concurrences and dissents. Collins presents theories of judicial choice derived from disciplines as diverse as law, marketing, political science, and social psychology. This theoretically rich and empirically rigorous treatment of decision-making on the nation's highest court, which represents the most comprehensive examination ever undertaken of the influence of U.S. Supreme Court amicus briefs, provides clear evidence that interest groups play a significant role in shaping the justices' choices.

Download or read book The Amicus Curiae in International Criminal Justice written by Sarah Williams and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-06 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The amicus curiae – or friend of the court – is the main mechanism for actors other than the parties, including civil society actors and states, to participate directly in proceedings in international criminal tribunals. Yet reliance on this mechanism raises a number of significant questions concerning: the functions performed by amici, which actors seek to intervene and why, and the influence of amicus interventions on judicial outcomes. Ultimately, the amicus curiae may have a significant impact on the fairness, representativeness and legitimacy of the tribunals' proceedings and decisions. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the amicus curiae practice of the International Criminal Court and other major international criminal tribunals and offers suggestions for the role of the amicus curiae. In doing so, the authors develop a framework to augment the potential contributions of amicus participation in respect of the legitimacy of international criminal tribunals and their decisions, while minimising interference with the core judicial competence of the tribunal and the right of the accused to a fair and expeditious trial.
Download or read book The Color Blind Constitution written by Andrew Kull and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1840 to 1960 the profoundest claim of Americans who fought the institution of segregation was that the government had no business sorting citizens by the color of their skin. During these years the moral and political attractiveness of the antidiscrimination principle made it the ultimate legal objective of the American civil rights movement. Yet, in the contemporary debate over the politics and constitutional law of race, the vital theme of antidiscrimination has been largely suppressed. Thus a strong line of argument laying down one theoretical basis for the constitutional protection of civil rights has been lost. Andrew Kull provides us with the previously unwritten history of the color-blind idea. From the arguments of Wendell Phillips and the Garrisonian abolitionists, through the framing of the Fourteenth Amendment and Justice Harlan's famous dissent in Plessy, civil rights advocates have consistently attempted to locate the antidiscrimination principle in the Constitution. The real alternative, embraced by the Supreme Court in 1896, was a constitutional guarantee of reasonable classification. The government, it said, had the power to classify persons by race so long as it acted reasonably; the judiciary would decide what was reasonable. In our own time, in Brown v. Board of Education and the decisions that followed, the Court nearly avowed the rule of color blindness that civil rights lawyers continued to assert; instead, it veered off for political and tactical reasons, deciding racial cases without stating constitutional principle. The impoverishment of the antidiscrimination theme in the Court's decision prefigured the affirmative action shift in the civil rights agenda. The social upheaval of the 1960s put the color-blind Constitution out of reach for a quartercentury or more; but for the hard choices still to be made in racial policy, the colorblind tradition of civil rights retains both historical and practical significance.
