The Court of Appeal: A Guide is the first book to cover Ireland's new Court of Appeal, which began work in November 2014 following a referendum the previous year. The Court took many of the appeals from the Supreme Court, shortening the waiting list and leaving the court of final appeal to fulfil its proper function, to explain the Constitution to the Irish people, whose document it is. Author Kieron Wood also explains the grounds for 'leapfrog' appeals from the High Court direct to the new court. The Court of Appeal (An ChA?A?A?A Degreesirt Achomhairc) replaced the Court of Criminal Appeal and the Courts Martial Appeal Court. This book will be an invaluable reference tool for all solicitors, barristers, and judges. It will also be useful to anyone seeking further information about the Court of Appeal, including fees and the all-important forms for appeals to the new court and the Supreme Court. Also included are all the contact details readers might need, and references to the latest judgments. [Subject: Irish Law]

"Justice While Black" is a must-read for every young black male in America--and for everyone else who cares about their survival and well-being. This is a first-of-its-kind essential guide for African-American families about how to understand the criminal justice system, and about why that system continues to see black men as targets--and as dollar signs.
The book provides practical, straightforward advice on how to deal with specific legal situations: the threat of arrest, being arrested, being in custody, preparing for and undergoing a trial, and navigating the appeals and parole process. The primary goal of this book is to become a primer for African Americans on how to avoid becoming ensnared in the criminal justice system.
While the precarious safely of black males has received renewed interest in the past year because of the deaths of teenagers Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis, the fact is that this group has always been under threat from the armed guardians of the white social order. The tactics have been modernized, but the impact is still devastating--we are witnessing an epic criminalization of the African-American community at levels never before seen since the end of slavery.
