"Corporate Social Responsibility and Leadership" provides the
needed tools for local and global business leaders - whether
entrepreneur, CEO, executive, officer, or manager- to act in a
legal, ethical, and socially responsible manner. Acting in a
responsible way will require business leaders to be cognizant of
various stakeholder interests as well as the ability to balance
conflicting constituencies in a fair manner. The result should be
the creation of long-term, sustainable value, not "merely" for the
shareholders but also for the employees, customers, communities,
and all the stakeholders of the organization, including society as
a whole. Besides the author, a few of the other contributing
writers to this book from Afghanistan, Thailand, Pakistan, and
Argentina are Bahaudin G. Mujtaba, Seeting "Grace" Zaelor, Muhammad
Zeb Khan, and Isabel Rimanoczy. It is hoped that the book supplies
a reminder, a rationale, and a guide for legal, ethical, and
socially responsible behavior, as well as a warning of the "fruits
from the poisonous tree"; and consequently the book serves as a
tool for true business success, stakeholder responsibility, and
organizational and societal sustainability.
Ethics and Leadership is an anthology that addresses ethics,
leadership, as well as some of the most important topics regarding
leadership. The book is divided to three sections that reflect
these three topics. The articles that are presented in this book
are a collection of published articles or book chapters, as well as
original manuscripts. This book is best utilized as a textbook for
both undergraduate and graduate students. You will find both key
terms and discussion questions at the end of each chapter. The
available textbooks on ethics and leadership neglect to discuss
some of the most important issues that leaders encounter in daily
basis, such as issues faced by women of color, leadership in the
age of technology, diversity and leadership, LGBTQ communities and
leadership, ethical global leadership, just to name a few. Ethics
and Leadership was created to fill this gap. Besides the topics in
leadership, there are chapters that address both ethics in
leadership and issues related to the relevance of ethics in
leadership, as well as articles that address kinds of leadership
styles. This book addresses ethics and leadership from the
interdisciplinary perspectives, with contributions from diverse
groups of scholars. The book aims to give future leaders the
awareness, tools, and theories that they need to be more mindful of
their world, and the challenges that their followers face, be they
internal, external, consciously or unconsciously inflicted on them.
It is the goal to become effective leaders, who create inclusive
work environment for whom they lead. Studying ethics helps us in
our everyday interactions. It is no surprise that studying of
ethics helps us navigate our responsibilities where we are looked
up as leaders, and mentors.

What options did Paul Bernardo's lawyer have when his client
directed him to retrieve hidden evidence? Where would David
Milgaard be today if a lawyer hadn't doggedly challenged his murder
conviction? And what should a defence lawyer do when told her
client is a danger to the public? In this book, leading Canadian
legal academics and practising lawyers draw on real-life stories to
probe the tension between ethics and the law. Whether re-examining
high-profile cases, celebrating barristers who tore down barriers,
or pointing out current injustices within the justice system, their
stories are compelling and raise important questions about what it
takes to be a "good" lawyer.

In the early part of 2007 The Law Society of Kenya, through the
Governance, Justice, Law and Order Sector Reform Programme
("GJLOS") of Kenya, undertook a review of the disciplinary
machinery of the legal profession. This work, conducted by a team
of consultants, was intended, inter alia, to review progress since
the 2002 "Review of the Effectiveness of the Disciplinary Committee
of The Law Society of Kenya and the Complaints Commission" by Mr.
Mark Stobbs of the International Bar Association. This book is the
result. Although the purpose of the project was to identify means
of strengthening the disciplinary processes of the Kenya bar, its
application is broader. There are generic and universal principles
of good practice which are applicable in all countries and in more
professions than just the legal profession. One difficulty faced by
the consultants was to identify processes that reflected good
practice and also were workable in the environment in which they
were placed. This involved consideration of social, political and
economic aspects of the environment. One of the major challenges
facing the world today is the relative fragility of democracy,
transparency, and the rule of law in many countries. This report,
though intended for the benefit of Kenya, is a rich resource for
other countries that might wish to review the disciplinary
mechanisms for their legal professions, or other learned
professions.

The Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct are the professional
responsibility rules of conduct for attorneys in Michigan. These

This is a book of research and policy aimed at raising ethical
standards in criminal justice practice. Around the world,
corruption continues to undermine the rule of law and the
application of due process rights. Misconduct by criminal justice
professionals challenges democratic authority and the equality and
freedom of ordinary citizens. There is an urgent need for
academics, advocates and policymakers to speak with one voice in
articulating universal ethical standards and, most importantly, in
prescribing systems and techniques that must be in place for
criminal justice to be genuinely accountable and as free from
misconduct as possible. The focus of the book is on the core
components of the criminal justice system - police, courts and
corrections - and the core groups within this system: sworn police
officers; judges, prosecutors and defence lawyers; and custodial
and community correctional officers. By using quality research and
policy analysis of these core components Professor Prenzler
formulates a basic checklist that can be used to assess the ethical
quality and accountability of the criminal justice system in any
jurisdiction.
The Freedom of the Will is a classic work by Christian pastor and
writer Jonathan Edwards. Published in 1754 as a response to the
teaching of Arminian pastor Daniel Whitby, the book examines the
nature of mankind's will and the providential will of God. Starting
with Romans 9:16, "So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of
him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy" Edwards argues for
a traditional Calvinistic view of the work of salvation. Alacrity
Press is proud to republish this Christian classic that is as
relevant today as when it was first published.

Poetry. In this, the second of his three-book series TRIAL &
ERROR: THE EDUCATION OF A FREEDOM LAWYER, Art Campbell becomes a
Special Assistant U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C. He tries dozens
of cases with only ten minutes preparation, confronts "testilying"
witnesses, and argues constitutional issues on behalf of the
government. His prosecutorial career culminates with his accidental
conviction of an innocent man. When he is told by his superior to
let the verdict stand, he disobeys. With vivid description and
uncommon candor Campbell reveals prosecutorial strategies, flaws in
our justice system, and his own doubts whether, as a prosecutor, he
can still be a freedom lawyer.
