in Criminal Defense is designed for the criminal defense lawyer
representing people from other cultures, nationalities or ethnic
backgrounds. Lawyers defending these individuals face a host of
characteristic concerns that include cultural barriers to communication,
the need for qualified interpreters, unique Fourth and Fifth Amendment
issues, cultural defenses, issues involving Native Americans, the
immigration consequences of a conviction, and distinctive sentencing
issues. The second edition now includes chapters on consular assistance
issues, gathering evidence abroad, language proficiency concerns and
international prisoner transfers. |

Dario
Milo Defamation and
Freedom of Speech K930.M55
2008 Defamation and Freedom of Speech argues that fundamental rules and procedures of defamation law need to be reformed to take into account the dual importance of public interest speech, and the right to human dignity. The author suggests that remedies available in defamation cases should be reformed to reflect the importance of dignity to the claimant, and the free speech interest of the public in receiving accurate information on matters of public interest. |
