Download or read book All Things Censored written by Mumia Abu-Jamal and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2001-06-05 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 75 essays—many freshly composed by Mumia with the cartridge of a ball-point pen, the only implement he is allowed in his death-row cell—embody the calm and powerful words of humanity spoken by a man on Death Row. Abu-Jamal writes on many different topics, including the ironies that abound within the U.S. prison system and the consequences of those ironies, and his own case. Mumia's composure, humor, and connection to the living world around him represents an irrefutable victory over the "corrections" system that has for two decades sought to isolate and silence him. The title, All Things Censored, refers to Mumia's hiring as an on-air columnist by National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," and subsequent banning from that venue under pressure from law and order groups.

Download or read book From the Grassroots to the Supreme Court written by Peter F. Lau and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2004-12-07 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps more than any other Supreme Court ruling, Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 decision declaring the segregation of public schools unconstitutional, highlighted both the possibilities and the limitations of American democracy. This collection of sixteen original essays by historians and legal scholars takes the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Brown to reconsider the history and legacy of that landmark decision. From the Grassroots to the Supreme Court juxtaposes oral histories and legal analysis to provide a nuanced look at how men and women understood Brown and sought to make the decision meaningful in their own lives. The contributors illuminate the breadth of developments that led to Brown, from the parallel struggles for social justice among African Americans in the South and Mexican, Asian, and Native Americans in the West during the late nineteenth century to the political and legal strategies implemented by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (naacp) in the twentieth century. Describing the decision’s impact on local communities, essayists explore the conflict among African Americans over the implementation of Brown in Atlanta’s public schools as well as understandings of the ruling and its relevance among Puerto Rican migrants in New York City. Assessing the legacy of Brown today, contributors analyze its influence on contemporary law, African American thought, and educational opportunities for minority children.

Download or read book North Carolina Civil Trial Practice written by G. Nicholas Herman and published by Juris Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Carolina Civil Trial Practice is North Carolina's only and leading practitioner treatise on civil trial practice and procedure (with application of the N.C. Rules of Evidence). There are a number of books for practitioners in North Carolina in various, distinct subjects (e.g. in torts, workers' compensation, real property law, family law, North Carolina corporations, North Carolina evidence, Employment Law and North Carolina Criminal Procedure). However, there is currently no civil trial practice book available in North Carolina; and this work fills that gap and is designed to be used by all civil trial lawyers in North Carolina, whether plaintiff or defense-oriented. North Carolina Civil Trial Practice comprehensively covers (1) the procedural, and (2) substantive law of, and (3) practice techniques for the trial of any North Carolina civil case -- from pre-trial procedure, mediation, and all stages of a trial (jury selection, open statement, direct and cross-examination, the jury charge conference, and closing argument). In addition, the book covers a detailed application of the North Carolina Rules of Evidence as they relate to the foregoing and to making objections and offers of proof, conducting direct and cross-examinations (including impeachment and rebuttal), introducing exhibits, and preserving the record for appeal. No current book in North Carolina addresses these matters. The book is thus distinct from any other North Carolina practitioner treatise, and is designed (1) as the definitive resource for civil practitioners preparing for any trial (bench trial or jury trial in any civil proceeding ) and (2) for ready use in court when counsel needs to quickly find out how to introduce a particular matter or item of evidence at trial or otherwise how to deal with any other matter occurring at trial. In sum, North Carolina Civil Trial Practice is the standard "bible" for all civil trial practitioners.
