The Fifth Edition of Lawson’s Federal Administrative Law, like the previous four editions, emphasizes doctrine and its historical evolution in exploring the four basic foundations of federal administrative law: separation of powers, statutorily- and constitutionally-required procedures for agency adjudication and rulemaking, scope of judicial review of agency action, and the availability and timing of judicial review. The book concentrates on federal administrative law in order to provide the fundamental knowledge necessary to understand the subject in other jurisdictions. It also maintains the straightforward organization and don’t-hide-the-ball presentation that has characterized the book since its inception.

Weissbrodt, David

The Compact Tenth Edition of this popular casebook is designed for a one-semester course in Civil Procedure of three- or four-credit hours. The shortening of the materials found in the larger Tenth Edition and the elimination of certain chapters reflect the authors' judgments concerning what should be the central themes of a Civil Procedure course. The authors continue to believe that the larger Tenth Edition will prove advantageous for many teachers who have shorter courses of even three hours because it provides the maximum flexibility in terms of coverage, depth, and emphasis. Like the larger Tenth Edition, the Compact Tenth Edition reflects the restyled Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, incorporates new Supreme Court cases that impact such topics as pleading, subject-matter jurisdiction, and joinder, and is designed to be accompanied by the authors' latest Civil Procedure Supplement. This title is accompanied by a Teacher’s Manual. This 650 page book has 16 chapters

This text blends classic common law contract cases with 21st-century opinions and draws upon the problem method of instruction. It compares and contrasts the common law of contracts, the Restatement of the Law, 2d ; Contracts, and Uniform Commercial Code Article 2 rules, as well as the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts. It also explores their evolution and application. The book emphasizes the importance of context to the application of legal principles and discusses the overlap between the knowledge and skills of a litigator and those of a transactional attorney.

The Eleventh Edition of this popular casebook provides a framework for studying both the essential and the cutting-edge issues of civil procedure while incorporating problems that test doctrinal understanding, foster case reading skills, and encourage a sense of litigation strategy.

The casebook covers all of the major topics that a professor might wish to teach in a first-year course, and can easily be adapted for courses of one- or two-semesters, of different credit hours, and with varied practical or theoretical emphases.

Tax Law

This casebook emphasizes current doctrine and its historical evolution in exploring the four basic foundations of federal administrative law: separation of powers, statutorily- and constitutionally-required procedures for agency adjudication and rulemaking, scope of judicial review of agency action, and the availability and timing of judicial review. The book concentrates on federal rather than state administrative law in order to provide the fundamental knowledge and concepts necessary to understand the subject, on the belief that an understanding of federal law can be translated into other settings. The book also maintains the straightforward organization and don’t-hide-the-ball presentation that has characterized the book since its inception. The Sixth Edition contains seven new principal cases, thirteen new note cases, and updated treatments of all major topics.
