Burden of proof

SOME PEOPLE WOULD KILL FOR A FRESH START. Seattle attorney Daniel Raine is going through some tough life changes; he's getting divorced, and his law partner is leaving him to become a judge. If Raine can't find a way to stay afloat, he'll be practicing law out of his car. Then, the perfect opportunity - a rich socialite called Abigail Willoughby arrives at his door, wanting to divorce her even richer husband. Raine is thrilled to take the case but gets more than he bargained for when he is forced into an unlikely alliance with high-powered realtor Rebecca Sommers who has her own motives for wanting to get close to his rich client. What seems like a straightforward case quickly turns to chaos when Abigail threatens her husband Jeremy in front of dozens of witnesses. That same night, Jeremy is discovered murdered in their home. All the evidence points to Abigail as the murderer. But she swears she is innocent and Raine believes her. Together with Sommers, he races to find out who really killed Jeremy and to save his client from serving a lifetime behind bars for a crime she didn't commit.

Trial by jury

Attorney Daniel Raine has recently gone out on his own and now is struggling to make rent. So when he's invited to a fundraiser gala at a downtown Seattle art gallery, he sees it as a chance to find some new clients among the city's wealthy elite. And it works in the most unexpected way - when a young artist is found dead in the women's restroom. The assigned detective declares it a suicide and the young woman's parents promptly sue the gallery owner for driving their daughter to take her own life. Raine is hired to defend the lawsuit and embarks on a mission to exonerate his client. He soon realizes that the Rain City art world is a hotbed of intrigue, treachery and secret deals and becomes convinced that the young artist was murdered. But why? And by whom? Raine finds himself navigating an unfamiliar world peopled by rich collectors, starving art students, and the beautiful and beguiling director of a local art school. Can he piece together what really happened on that fateful night and save his client from ruin?

Criminal law

This interactive criminal law casebook continues the tradition of our prior criminal law casebook (which went through four editions), but enhanced that tradition by moving to an interactive format. As with the prior books, our primary goal is to create a "teacher's book"-a book that contains thought provoking problems (referred to as "hypos" in the Interactive Casebook Series) designed to stimulate thought and produce interesting classroom discussion. The hypos are woven throughout the chapters and are designed to help students learn doctrine, illuminate trends in the law, and ultimately produce better learning. A secondary goal was to include a focus on teaching "skills." Some of the problems place students in practical situations that they are likely to encounter in practice, and therefore encourage students to think about how they might handle those situations in real-life.

Advanced macroeconomics

An Introduction to the Study of Macroeconomics at an Advanced Level The fourth edition of Romer's Advanced Macroeconomics presents the major theories concerning the central questions of macroeconomics. In areas ranging from economic growth and short-run fluctuations to the natural rate of unemployment and fiscal policy, formal models are used to present and analyze key ideas and issues. The theoretical analysis is supplemented by examples of relevant empirical work, illustrating the ways that theories can be applied and tested. The book has been revised more extensively than ever before. There are changes throughout to incorporate new research, eliminate inessential material, and further improve the presentation Key revisions include: There are now separate chapters on endogenous growth (Chapter 3) and cross-country income differences (Chapter 4). Chapter 3 includes a careful presentation of Paul Romer's now-classic model of endogenous technological change, and Chapter 4 takes the reader to the frontiers of empirical research on the underlying sources of the enormous differences in standards of living among countries Chapters 6 and 7 on short-run fluctuations when prices are not fully flexible have been completely redone. The analysis is grounded in microeconomic foundations from the outset. The chapters build from simple models to the canonical three-equation new Keynesian model (the new Keynesian IS curve, the new Keynesian Phillips curve, and an interest rate rule) and the ingredients of modern dynamic stochastic general-equilibrium models of fluctuations. The revisions to Chapters 6 and 7 carry over to the analysis of monetary policy in Chapter 11. This chapter has been entirely reorganized and includes a careful treatment of optimal policy in forward-looking models. An epilogue describes some of the main issues that the financial and macroeconomic crisis that began in 2008 raises for macroeconomics and discusses how the crisis may change the field.

Comparative law

"The publication of the third edition of Mathias Siems' excellent Comparative Law is to be greatly welcomed by students and comparative law scholars alike. Siems provides not only clear guidance to the methodology and essential contemporary debates of comparative law, but a truly global perspective!

Comparative law emerges as an open discipline, fundamental to understanding contemporary law in a global perspective! Dr Guido Comparato, Birkbeck, University of London Comparative Law offers a thorough grounding in the subject for students and scholars alike, covering essential academic discussions and comparative law methodology. It critically debates both traditional and modern approaches to the discipline and uses examples from a range of jurisdictions to give the reader a truly global perspective. Its contextualised and interdisciplinary approach draws on examples from politics, economics and other social sciences to provide an original contribution to topics of comparative law. This new third edition is fully revised to reflect developments in the scholarship and includes two new chapters, balancing the book's structure between comparative law of the past, present and future. Suitable for students taking courses in comparative law and related fields, this book offers a fresh and cosmopolitan perspective on the subject.

Criminal law

The present volume is an updated version of the hornbook most recently published in its Sixth Edition under the authorship of the legendary Wayne R. LaFave. The Sixth Edition, like its predecessors, included the work not only of LaFave but also of Professor Austin W. Scott, Jr., who collaborated with Professor LaFave on the first edition of this hornbook. In this Seventh Edition, I have endeavored to take into account all developments in the field of criminal law as of January 2023. Some of the recent changes are relatively minor, while others, such as California's repeal of the felony murder rule, are comparatively significant. But in either case, the DNA of this new volume remains essentially unaltered: the brilliant vision executed primarily by Professor LaFave.

Rethinking corruption

This series is a forum for innovative scholarly writing from across all sub- stantive fields of political science and international studies. The series aims to enrich the study of these fields by promoting a cutting-edge approach to thought and analysis. Academic scrutiny and challenge is an essential compo- nent in the development of political science and international studies as fields of study, and the act of re-thinking and re-examining principles and precepts that may have been long-held is imperative. Rethinking Political Science and International Studies showcases authored books that address the field from a new angle, expose the weaknesses of existing concepts and arguments, or 're-frame' the topic in some way. This might be through the introduction of radical ideas, through the integration of perspectives from other fields or even disciplines, through challenging existing paradigms, or simply through a level of analysis that elevates or sharpens our understanding of a subject.
