Rex J. Zedalis. The legal dimensions of oil and gas in Iraq : current reality and future prospects. Cambridge University Press, 2009. KMJ3366.Z43 2009 This book is the first and only comprehensive examination
of current and future legal principles designed to govern oil and gas
activity in Iraq. This study provides a thorough-going review of every
conceivable angle on Iraqi oil and gas law, from relevant provisions of the
Iraqi Constitution of 2005; to legislative measures comprising the oil and
gas framework law, the revenue-sharing law, and the laws to reconstitute the
Iraq National Oil Company and reorganize the Ministry of Oil; to the
Kurdistan Regional Government's 2007 Oil and Gas Law No. (22) and its
accompanying Model Production Sharing Contract; and to the apposite rules of
international law distilled from both controlling UN resolutions addressing
Iraq and more generally applicable principles of international law. This text
is essential to the reading collection of every practitioner, business
executive, government official, academic, public policy maven, and individual
citizen with an interest in the details and controversial aspects of Iraqi
energy law. |

Amy Gajda. The trials of academe : the new era of campus litigation. Harvard University Press, 2009. KF4225.G35 2009 This book explores the origins and causes of the litigation trend, its implications for academic freedom, and what lawyers, judges, and academics themselves can do to limit the potential damage. Once upon a time, virtually no one in the academy thought to sue over campus disputes, and, if they dared, judges bounced the case on grounds that it was no business of the courts. Tenure decisions, grading curves, course content, and committee assignments were the stuff of faculty meetings, not lawsuits. Not so today. As the author shows in this witty yet troubling book, litigation is now common on campus, and perhaps even more commonly feared. Professors sue each other for defamation based on assertions in research articles or tenure review letters; students sue professors for breach of contract when an F prevents them from graduating; professors threaten to sue students for unfairly criticizing their teaching. This turn to the courts is changing campus life, eroding traditional notions of academic autonomy and confidentiality, and encouraging courts to micromanage course content, admissions standards, exam policies, graduation requirements, and peer review.
