James
Steven Rogers. The end of negotiable instruments : bringing payment
systems law out of the past. Oxford University Press, c2011. KF957.R63
2011 The modern American law of payment systems is in disarray.
Efforts to create a unified body of law for payment systems have so far been
unsuccessful. Part of the reason for that failure is the assumption
that the existing law works well for the traditional paper-based check
system, and that problems have been created only by the evolution of new
technologies. This book challenges the basic assumptions of the law of
checks and notes and its history, and provides a well-reasoned account of how
the law could be changed to better suit the evolution of new payment
technologies. |

Mel
A. Topf. A doubtful and perilous experiment : advisory opinions, state
constitutions, and judicial supremacy. Oxford University Press, c2011. KF4579.A38T67
2011 This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the history, concept, jurisprudence and controversies relating to state Supreme Court advisory opinions. Though just ten states have adopted such advisory opinions (many others have debated but rejected them), they have been implicated in major issues regarding American judicial power. The book explains the-so far unexplained-first appearance of advisory authority in 1780, and address the persistent aura of illegitimacy that has always shadowed this authority. |
