Product Overview
The U.S. Attorney General is forever caught between competing demands: on one side, his political duties as cabinet appointee and adviser to the president; on the other, his quasi-judicial responsibilities as chief law officer of the nation. In theory the two sets of responsibilities coexist peacefully. In reality they often clash.
In Conflicting Loyalties, political scientist Nancy Baker provides the first comprehensive analysis of the history and structure of the office of the U.S. Attorney General, an office that legal scholars have described as "schizophrenic." Her study documents how they have differed in their responses, seeing themselves either as advocates of the president or as neutral expounders of the law. Combining historical analysis with legal and political theory, Baker shows how this implicit conflict has evolved from the earliest days of the Republic, when the attorney general was primarily an adviser, to the present day, when he administers the huge bureaucracy of the Department of Justice.
Using both archival materials and personal interviews, Baker analyzes how the seventy-five men who have held the post of attorney general have managed the conflict of loyalties. In particular, she focuses on Robert Kennedy, Edwin Meese, Elliot Richardson, Griffin Bell, Robert Jackson, Edward Levi, A. Mitchell Palmer, and Roger Taney. She also examines how the office has been affected by scandals in various administrations, including the Red scare of 1919-20, Teapot Dome, Watergate, and Iran-Contra. The book concludes with an exploration of arguments for reforming the office.

Product Overview
Depicting American justice at its best and worst, The Prosecutors lifts the lid off today's legal system with details that are more shocking and graphic than any television show or bestselling novel.
Allowed unprecedented access to spend a year inside an urban prosecutors' office, Gary Delsohn provides a riveting, behind-the-scenes look at how America's increasingly overburdened judicial system really functions. Seen through the eyes of the main characters in this true-life drama-John O'Mara, a tough, jaded homicide chief and Jan Scully, an accomplished former sex-crimes prosecutor who is now the D.A.-The Prosecutors shows us these dedicated public servants at work. The cases they encounter within this one year are as shocking as they are indelible:
* A simple robbery in Sacramento, California, goes bad and shatters a family forever.
* A serial killer is caught only after a nationwide manhunt.
* A well-respected doctor is accused of murdering his own daughter.
* A twenty-five-year-old cold case involving Patty Hearst and the SLA explodes and brings incredible pressure and scrutiny to the D.A.'s office.
* The son of a high-ranking California state prosecutor faces a possible death penalty for kidnap, rape,and murder.
The Prosecutors chronicles the real-life legal dramas that are waged daily in our courtrooms. It is a book that enlightens, educates, entertains, and even infuriates at times with the miscarriages of justice, but, ultimately, shows in stark detail the intricacies that make our legal system work.

Product Overview
The Microsoft® Office System is the most popular desktop suite of personal productivity tools and technologies. Because the Microsoft Office suite of tools is so comprehensive, it can be challenging for people in certain professions to understand how to use Office to perform tasks specific to their job. This book focuses on the tasks an Attorney performs every day—rather than the all too common software-centric approach that many other technology books habitually adopt. Other Microsoft Office books on the market for the legal profession are often difficult to understand because they largely address an Information Technology (IT) audience, cover too many professions in a single book, or are so large (more than 800 pages) as to be overwhelming. This book was written with attorneys in mind. In fact, this book was developed by consulting and interviewing industry experts, legal trainers, technology experts, paralegals, and of course, attorneys. The authors learned exactly which topics were most troublesome for attorneys, and made sure to explain them thoroughly. This book covers the use of these Microsoft Office System products for Attorneys:
-Microsoft® Word 2003
-Microsoft® Excel 2003
-Microsoft® Outlook 2003
-Microsoft® PowerPoint 2003
-Microsoft® OneNote 2003
This book helps Attorneys cut through the hard stuff, and makes Microsoft Office work for them. This book comes with free bonus materials:
-Additional Legal Templates
-Advanced Chapters
-Keyboard Shortcut References
