Learning Civil Procedure provides a broad, student-centered,
user-friendly approach to civil procedure that is both clear and
sophisticated. Students build mastery of the material through the
presentation of examples and analyses. Students then move on to
involved problems similar to what they will encounter on final
examinations, bar examinations, and as lawyers. The book makes
great use of problems to facilitate dialogue in class and
correspondingly uses many fewer case excerpts than does the typical
casebook. Students will emerge as competent and culturally literate
lawyers because the book also includes the core "canon" of civil
procedure opinions as well as sufficient historical background.
Learning Civil Procedure is a book designed by authors who both
teach and litigate, making it the perfect tool for ensuring that
students are ready for the classroom, the bar exam, and real-world
litigation practice.

In Badges and Incidents, Michael J. Kaufman undertakes an
interdisciplinary investigation of American education law and
pedagogy. By weaving together the invaluable insights of law,
education, history, political science, economics, psychology, and
neuroscience, this book illuminates the ways in which the design of
the American educational system does not reflect how human beings
live and learn. It examines the principles of the nation's Founders
and demonstrates how a distorted presentation of the Founders'
views curtailed the development of a truly democratic educational
system. The influence of this distortion on several critical
Supreme Court decisions is exposed, and these decisions have
largely failed to facilitate the educational system the Founders
envisioned. By placing contemporary challenges in context and
endorsing social constructivist pedagogy as the best path forward,
Kaufman's study will prove invaluable to advocates of equity in
education, helping them navigate a contentious political climate
with an eye toward future reform efforts.
This book makes a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary argument for
investing in effective early childhood education programs,
especially those that develop in children their proven natural
capacity to construct knowledge by building meaningful
relationships. Recent insights in the fields of law, policy,
economics, pedagogy, and neuroscience demonstrate that these
particular programs produce robust educational, social, and
economic benefits for children and for the country. The book also
provides legal and political strategies for achieving these proven
benefits as well as pedagogical strategies for developing the most
effective early childhood education programs. The book concludes by
making visible the wonderful learning that can take place in an
early education environment where teachers are afforded the
professional judgment to encourage children to construct their own
knowledge through indispensable learning relationships.

This book is a one-stop resource for parents and families facing
decisions about how to provide their children the best educational
experiences before kindergarten. We know that early childhood
learning experiences have a dramatic impact on the success and
well-being of children, the community, and the country. Children
who have positive early childhood experiences develop cognitive and
socio-emotional abilities that lead to positive school performance,
income, family stability, and health, in turn producing
particularly robust educational, social, and economic benefits for
your community and our country. This companion offers background on
why early childhood education is important in your child's life. It
provides an overview of current research about how young children
learn. It suggests questions you may ask potential service
providers about a program's policies and practices. It empowers you
to make the critically important decision about the best learning
environment for your child. A companion makes a journey more
enriching, while providing support and perspective. We hope that
this book will be helpful to parents and families as they make
vital decisions about the welfare of their children, and their
community.
