State
Bar of Texas, Party talk: answers to everyday legal questions for Texas
lawyers. State Bar of Texas, 2012. KFT1281.P37
2012 When
asked what one does for a living, responding that one is attorney is met with
a variety of responses. Among the most common is something along the lines of
“So you’re a lawyer? Maybe you can answer a question for me?” Of course, most
lawyers’ expertise doesn’t cover every possible area of the law, so the State
Bar of Texas is here to help you with Party Talk: Answers to Everyday
Legal Questions for Texas Lawyers. Co-authored by Professor Rick
McElvaney in a casual and amusing style, this inviting hardbound book
provides succinct answers to a variety of common legal questions often asked
by partygoers, including those on such topics as: driving while intoxicated,
neighbor issues, divorce, and estate planning. William
Schabas. Unimaginable atrocities: justice, politics, and rights at the war
crimes tribunals. 1st ed. Oxford University Press, 2012. KZ7145.S33
2012 As
international criminal courts and tribunals have proliferated and
international criminal law is increasingly seen as a key tool for bringing
the world's worst perpetrators to account, the controversies surrounding the
international trials of war criminals have grown. War crimes tribunals have
to deal with accusations of victor's justice, bad prosecutorial policy and
case management, and of jeopardizing fragile peace in post-conflict
situations. In Unimaginable Atrocities, one of the leading writers in
the field of international criminal law explores these controversial issues. |
