This book provides a comprehensive overview of California civil
procedure, convenient for class or exam preparation. It provides
clear and concise explanations of topics not usually covered in the
standard first-year course on civil procedure, highlighting where
California's law diverges from federal practice. The book includes
self-testing and diagnostic review questions and case
illustrations, which are capsule summaries of significant cases
identifying important facts, primary issues, and relevant law. It
also provides numerous essay, true-false, and multiple-choice
questions with model answers and detailed explanations.
"More and better jobs" is the underlying theme of this insightful
new book. David Levine analyzes the current labor market in the
U.S. and concludes that social policy must change to cope with the
realities of the new economy. Although market forces are now moving
U.S. enterprise toward high-skill and flexible workplaces, there is
a shortage of workers with adequate skills in problem solving and
teamwork. To combat this problem, the author presents an ambitious
agenda of lifelong learning that will enable American workers to
take advantage of the opportunities afforded by the new economic
realities. Levine's analysis recommends specific government
policies to encourage early childhood education, to improve
schools, to help parents finance college, and to help students make
the transition from school to work. He also discusses policies that
will improve the regulation of workplaces. The book concludes with
policy recommendations for individuals changing jobs, as well as
for the unemployed, the disabled, and the poor.

This book is designed to be used in conjunction with any of the
existing civil procedure casebooks. It includes the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure, federal and state procedural statutes,
California rules of court, and illustrative forms. The cases from
state appellate courts highlight areas commonly addressed in
first-year civil procedure courses, but demonstrate how California
procedure differs from its federal counterpart.
The casebook addresses procedures unique to California practice
that are not generally presented in the first-year course in civil
procedure. The case selection, notes and text all reinforce the
perspective of a practitioner choosing knowledgeably between state
and federal court. Cases and notes address many state/federal
differences in all major areas of civil procedure, such as:
pleading, discovery, right to trial by jury, alternative dispute
resolution, settlement, res judicata, and appeals. Also included
are topics unique to California state law, including anti-SLAPP
litigation, prefiling requirements, and state choice of law rules.
The Third Edition of Psychological Problems, Social Issues and the
Law offers updated research, legal cases, and new examples. The
text uses historical and systems perspectives to illustrate how
Psychology and other social sciences interact with the law.
Chapters contain an introduction to an important social problem,
followed by discussion of the major legal issues and a review of
relevant social science research, including experimental literature
and ethical considerations. The text emphasizes a wide range of
social problems, including abortion, intimate partner violence,
divorce, custody, child protection, competence of minors, sexual
harassment, and much more. The goal is to offer readers a broad
perspective to view the work of social scientists and lawyers,
clinicians and judges in the larger context of the systems of which
they are a part. New material points readers to resources to learn
more about the topics or opportunities for further study and
research.
Corporate responsibility has gone global. It has secured the
attention of business leaders, governments and NGOs to an
unprecedented extent. Increasingly, it is argued that business must
play a constructive role in addressing massive global challenges.
Business is not responsible for causing most of the problems
associated with, for example, extreme poverty and hunger, child
mortality and HIV/AIDS. However, it is often claimed that business
has a responsibility to help ameliorate many of these problems and,
indeed, it may be the only institution capable of effectively
addressing some of them. Global Challenges in Responsible Business
addresses the implications for business of corporate responsibility
in the context of globalization and the social and environmental
problems we face today. Featuring research from Europe, North
America, Asia and Africa, it focuses on three major themes:
embedding corporate responsibility, corporate responsibility and
marketing, and corporate responsibility in developing countries.
Many managers are frustrated by a bewildering array of advice about
what works in the workplace. This volume contributes to a growing
consensus about effective workplace practices. The collection
combines detailed studies of single industries (automobile
assembly, apparel, and machine tools) with cross-industry studies
of financial performance. Compared to most past investigations, the
research here has better measures of both workplace practices and
organizational performance. The contributors find that systems of
innovative human resource management practices can have large
effects on business performance. Success does not come from any
single innovation, but from a coherent system encompassing pay,
training, and employee involvement. Although a majority of
contemporary US businesses now have adopted some innovative work
practices, only a small percentage of businesses have adopted a
coherent new system. A concluding chapter outlines barriers to
diffusion and discusses public policies to remove barriers and
enhance dissemination of effective management.
