Book excerpt: THE BARTON SERIES The Barton Series was conceptualized and written with the primary objective of encouraging young students to appreciate how mathematics is used in the real world. The series explore mathematics through the creation of a model child, Barton, whose life experiences are captured through delightful, realistic, and entertaining stories. The stories span just about all the activities in which young children participate in school and with their families during their young, juvenile, carefree, and adventurous years. The authors believe that a major and poignant barrier to the learning, understanding, and appreciating mathematics is the inability of students to comprehend the language embedded in worded problems. The books, therefore, provide a novel vehicle to connect numeracy and literacy since comprehension, most assuredly, is really the key to decoding the mathematics. And so several visual props have been deliberately added in every story to assist learners who may be challenged in word recognition. The series also aims at inculcating moral and ethical values as the stories are designed to encourage good behavior and caring ways among young children. While many of the stories build on mathematics content, others focus on the process goals of mathematics such as critical thinking, problem solving, and developing positive dispositions such as respect, perseverance, and team spirit. Thus, mathematics becomes user-friendly through this methodology that seeks to eliminate anxiety and fear for the discipline. Such negative experiences have prevented thousands of students from learning mathematics throughout their lives. The series appeals to the childs curiosity and desire to have fun as they connect their life experiences to mathematics. The reader will experience meaningful encounters with mathematics and so appreciate its inherent beauty and efficacy in solving real life problems. These colorful and beautifully illustrated books will strongly complement not just the mathematics but language arts and several other curriculum areas that are incorporated at the primary level in any education system. JUDGE BARTON In the stories of Judge Barton, the reader is enchantingly teased into reading, learning, and comprehending the properties of several geometrical shapes. Barton, in his reverie encounter with these three-dimensional figures, was persuaded to act as the judge, as they competed for the prestigious title of the Worlds Best Shape. The shapes, displaying a plethora of human characteristics and emotions, present their case under the strict rules, guidance, and supervision imposed by Judge Barton. Their stories entertain, enrapture, and captivate the reader as each shape perseveres to reveal their individual characteristics and boast the uniqueness of their properties. The detailed descriptions of their roles and functions are charmingly blended with sound mathematical knowledge, literary sparkle, unconcealed human emotions, and the occasional dash of humor. The shapes presentations, in the keenly contested competition, were individually designed to impress the unbiased Judge Barton into awarding the title to the best shape. The stories take unusual twists and turns as the osmotic infiltration of human empathy, awareness, and reality slowly creeps in. The plot thickens as momentum gathers and attracts much more than the competitors. The lessons learnt and taught, especially in the unprecedented final outcome, are most assuredly heart-warming with the numerous skills and values that were added. The reader, regardless of age, is sure to ask for more as they find delight in the mathematics of the book, not only because it is useful, but they will delight in it because it has been alloyed in beautiful literature.

Download or read book The Lawyer Judge Bias in the American Legal System written by Benjamin H. Barton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-31 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually all American judges are former lawyers. This book argues that these lawyer-judges instinctively favor the legal profession in their decisions and that this bias has far-reaching and deleterious effects on American law. There are many reasons for this bias, some obvious and some subtle. Fundamentally, it occurs because - regardless of political affiliation, race, or gender - every American judge shares a single characteristic: a career as a lawyer. This shared background results in the lawyer-judge bias. The book begins with a theoretical explanation of why judges naturally favor the interests of the legal profession and follows with case law examples from diverse areas, including legal ethics, criminal procedure, constitutional law, torts, evidence, and the business of law. The book closes with a case study of the Enron fiasco, an argument that the lawyer-judge bias has contributed to the overweening complexity of American law, and suggests some possible solutions.

Download or read book Rebooting Justice written by Benjamin H. Barton and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is a nation founded on justice and the rule of law. But our laws are too complex, and legal advice too expensive, for poor and even middle-class Americans to get help and vindicate their rights. Criminal defendants facing jail time may receive an appointed lawyer who is juggling hundreds of cases and immediately urges them to plead guilty. Civil litigants are even worse off; usually, they get no help at all navigating the maze of technical procedures and rules. The same is true of those seeking legal advice, like planning a will or negotiating an employment contract. Rebooting Justice presents a novel response to longstanding problems. The answer is to use technology and procedural innovation to simplify and change the process itself. In the civil and criminal courts where ordinary Americans appear the most, we should streamline complex procedures and assume that parties will not have a lawyer, rather than the other way around. We need a cheaper, simpler, faster justice system to control costs. We cannot untie the Gordian knot by adding more strands of rope; we need to cut it, to simplify it.

Download or read book Fixing Law Schools written by Benjamin H. Barton and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2019-12-17 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An urgent plea for much needed reforms to legal education The period from 2008 to 2018 was a lost decade for American law schools. Employment results were terrible. Applications and enrollment cratered. Revenue dropped precipitously and several law schools closed. Almost all law schools shrank in terms of students, faculty, and staff. A handful of schools even closed. Despite these dismal results, law school tuition outran inflation and student indebtedness exploded, creating a truly toxic brew of higher costs for worse results. The election of Donald Trump in 2016 and the subsequent role of hero-lawyers in the “resistance” has made law school relevant again and applications have increased. However, despite the strong early returns, we still have no idea whether law schools are out of the woods or not. If the Trump Bump is temporary or does not result in steady enrollment increases, more schools will close. But if it does last, we face another danger. We tend to hope that crises bring about a process of creative destruction, where a downturn causes some businesses to fail and other businesses to adapt. And some of the reforms needed at law schools are obvious: tuition fees need to come down, teaching practices need to change, there should be greater regulations on law schools that fail to deliver on employment and bar passage. Ironically, the opposite has happened for law schools: they suffered a harrowing, near-death experience and the survivors look like they’re going to exhale gratefully and then go back to doing exactly what led them into the crisis in the first place. The urgency of this book is to convince law school stakeholders (faculty, students, applicants, graduates, and regulators) not to just return to business as usual if the Trump Bump proves to be permanent. We have come too far, through too much, to just shrug our shoulders and move on.
