What's New in the Law Library
Recent new titles in the Law Library:
Lawyers on trial : understanding ethical misconduct, by Richard L. Abel.
Lawyer misconduct affects many people: clients, adversaries, opposing counsel, judges, the legal profession, and society at large. The records of disciplinary proceedings offer a penetrating, and largely ignored, perspective on how lawyers misbehave. Because the lawyers' professional lives are at stake, the factual records are extraordinarily detailed and the lawyers surprisingly open about their motivations and justifications.
How to try a murder case: pretrial and trial guidelines for prosecution and defense, by Michael D. Wims, Jack B. Rubin, Charles Ambrose.
Murder is different. No other crime permanently deprives the victim of everything he possesses, including his life. As a consequence, the trial for a murder case is unique because the crime has raised the stakes -- for the victim, for the victim's survivors, and for the defendant.
Food, farming, and sustainability : readings in agricultural law, by Susan A. Schneider.
Agricultu
ral law is the study of the unique network of laws that apply to the production, marketing, and sale of agricultural products—the food we eat, the natural fibers we wear, and increasingly, the bio-fuels that run our vehicles. Traditionally, agriculture has been favored with exemptions, exceptions, and special rules that reflect the uniqueness and the political power of the industry. In recent years, the study of agricultural law has expanded beyond its traditional scope to include issues of food safety and sustainability. Popular interest in agriculture has increased as consumers seek to know more about their food and where it comes from.
Polar imperative : a history of Arctic sovereignty in North America, by Shelagh D. Grant.
Pregnant pause : an international legal analysis of maternity discrimination, by Anne-Marie Mooney Cotter.
Pregnan
t Pause provides readers with a better understanding of the issue of maternity discrimination and inequality by looking at the primary role of legislation, and its impact on the court process at both national and international levels for those suffering maternity discrimination. It also discusses the two most important trade agreements of our day – namely the North American Free Trade Agreement and the European Union Treaty – in a historical and compelling analysis of maternity discrimination and employment.
Wrongful death sentences : rethinking justice in capital cases, by Cathleen Burnett.
What acts truly deserve the death penalty? And how equitably do we apply this ultimate punishment? Cathleen Burnett explores wrongful capital sentencing to offer a sober yet searing critique of the criminal justice procedures and legal criteria involved.
The class action playbook, by Brian Anderson, Andrew Trask.
A
unique and strategic "how to" guide for practitioners seeking to bring or defend a class action. Every important issue is addressed, including the initial shape of the proposed action, choice of forum, case-management schedules, pre-certification discovery and motions activity, briefing and argument of the class-certification motion, class notice, preparation for trial, class settlements, and the binding effects of class-action judgments.

Grant.
The definitive history of sovereignty in the North American Arctic, by the foremost expert in the field.

Digital Commons Update
Our Digital Commons site is less than a year old, but already containts over 1700 documents. All issues of all three law reviews are available, as well as back issues of our alumni and law school magazines. We continue to add faculty publications as we receive permission from the publishers.
New on the DC are back issues of the School of Law Bulletin. Did you know that Caspar Weinberger (yes, that Caspar Weinberger!) used to teach at GGU School of Law in the early 1950's? Also, tuition was a whopping $11.50 per unit in 1951! We have many issues from 1932 up to 2010. Please take a look, and if you happen to have a missing issue squirreled away in your office, please let us know.
You will also find an archive of the Student Handbook and other materials from the Registrar. The Jesse Carter library is slowly being uploaded as well.
To explore the DC, go to: http://digitalcommons.law.ggu.edu/ to see the menu. Click on the site map to get a clear picture of the sections under each heading. We continue to harvest important materials to add to our archive of the GGU School of Law. If you have materials that you think would be appropriate for the DC, please contact Janet Fischer at jfischer@ggu.edu. Thank you!
