This collection of essays and thoughts covers such areas as basic
Christian thought, which includes traditional family morality and a
great concern for alleviating poverty and promoting social justice,
political thought comparing the need for a system which includes
both socialist and capitalist elements, and the need for values in
our society, which has come to emphasize money, power, and greed as
philosophical goals and values, though they are not. The book also
has thoughts concerning literature, a consideration of what
constitutes true progress, the denial in our society of any
absolute moral truth, and the substitution of moral relativism as a
mistaken ethical system.

the life of Christ and the church, the status of women in the

revolutionary, and the existence of angels and demons. In addition,
some essays include an analysis of the decline of the American
Middle Class, the nature of American Culture, the "money culture",

The second volume of Select Legal Topics updates, analyses, and
covers current developments in such areas of criminal law, criminal
procedure, state civil procedure, civil rights matters,
constitutional issues, and significant recent Supreme Court
decisions. Select Legal Topics also covers issues of mental disease
or defects in the case of a criminal client and considers the rules
in the criminal procedure law concerning motions to set aside the
verdict as well as post-conviction motions. Section one analyzes
mainly criminal law issues. Section two considers civil rights
issues. Included in this section are such issues as the First
Amendment, state action, and other more specific and exact issues
in this area. Section three of the book considers various
procedural issues. The book also includes a comprehensive index and
table of cases. This book, to some extent, is general in character
but also hones in and analyses certain legal developments in
significant United States Supreme Court decisions. It will be of
great benefit both to lawyers, law students, law faculty,
university professors, and judges at the federal and state level.
Select Legal Topics is a compendium of legal journal articles
covering a wide spectrum of topics in the fields of criminal law,
evidence, civil procedure, family law, labor and employment law,
civil rights, tort law, and federal procedure. For example, the
reprinted criminal law articles include analyses of suppression
motions and the requirement that the criminal defendant be afforded
a speedy trial. The section on evidence includes articles that
analyze polygraph and DNA evidence. The civil procedures articles
consider the requirement of filing a notice of claim when a
municipality is the subject of a lawsuit, and developments in trial
by jury. Articles covering family law consider artificial
insemination and paternity, as well as child abuse and child
negligence. The labor and employment articles include analyses of
discrimination in the workplace and trial by jury. The civil rights
articles mainly consider the Civil Rights Statute 42 U.S.C. Sec.
1983. The articles focusing on tort law include analyses of loss of
consortium, the intentional infliction of mental distress, and
baseball liability. Finally, the federal procedure articles
consider eminent domain, pretrial orders, the finality requirement
in federal appeals, and an analysis of rules 15 and 16 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This book will serve to inform
laymen, students, lawyers, law professors, and perhaps, the
judiciary, of ideas and developments in these fields of law.
