They Attack Him
For a decade and a half now, Clarence Thomas has been a proverbial "thorn in the side" of liberalism. They just don't know how to take someone who goes against every fiber of their being. The American system so successfully constructed by liberal lawmakers has simply failed them, therefore, they do the only thing they know how, they attack him. With a tenaciously dogged vengeance, they attack him. A black man is suppose to stay on the plantation and be a good democrat, keeping them in office while waiting for the next handout. A black man in America isn't supposed to pull himself up out of poverty. The Democrat created and nurtured system just isn't designed for such an anomaly. So they attack him. At every venue, with every ruling, and for unfounded reasons other than shear loathing, they attack him.
Welcome to Constitutional Law
Henry Mark Holzer's, The Keeper of the Flame is a fascinating and enlightening examination of Justice Clarence Thomas' brilliant legal mind, his integrity and his strong moral base. Holzer brings to light the incredible purity of one of the nation's best thinkers.He does this by citing the Justice's own words and analyzing those words with the greatest degree of objectivity and clarity. Holzer reveals himself to be a master-scholar of Constitutional Law guiding us through the history of its creation by the Founding Fathers and how it has come to be interpreted by the Supreme Court. He helps us to truly understand the Constitution and its undeniable value to our free society.He takes us through the Bill of Rights so that we know and can appreciate how they apply to our own lives. Professor Holzer is not only a fine scholar-he is a fine writer and a fine teacher. His exceptional skills make this a marvelous educational text, yet a completely easy and enjoyable read.
Essential Supreme CourtAnalysis
Professor Holzer has cleared away the cloud surrounding the jurisprudence of Clarence Thomas.In the ongoing debate between those who adhere to the idea of a "living constitution" and those who seek original meaning and intent, "The Keeper of the Flame" is essential reading for anyone who wants a better understanding of each viewpoint.This book also shines a bright light on the Justice who might be called the stepchild of "conservative" Supreme Court Justices.Preconceived notions and popular public images of Clarence Thomas are swept away with powerful and very readable text supported, always, by the only real authority on Justice Thomas' judicial philosophy, his own words.

The Best Study of Jurors and Business
Valerie P. Hans's assessments of misinformation and disinformation about the civil jury may do little to overcome the propaganda of tort reformers except among well-informed citizens, but citizen who cares to learn more about courts and law than about rhetoric will profit from her book. Hans, a professor of sociology and criminal justice at the University of Delaware, tests claims about how juries treat businesses in civil cases. She assembles myriad charges, and then she acquits the civil jury system of nearly every specification. She often establishes a preponderance of evidence opposite to criticisms of civil juries. Insightful!
Valerie P. Hans has written a thorough, carefully designed study of jury behavior in civil trials. While presenting information cautiously and academically, she thoroughly explodes several common myths about civil juries and makes a powerful (if understated) case for the preservation of the civil jury system. She begins with surveys and quotes, preferring to let her data speak for itself, until she draws final conclusions and points out areas for further scholarship. Hans does not over-generalize, but the book is often repetitive, in part because some of the studies and issues overlap. Even so, the information is trimmed to a manageable length. This is not an entertaining read, but we [...] find the information and interviews clear, useful and accessible. This is a particularly helpful book for law students and professors, litigators, reporters covering the courts, corporate legal departments and anyone involved in civil litigation, especially if you have a voice in selecting a jury.

Great professor with easy listening style.
Another great lecture from Gilbert's Law School Legends Series.The California bar exam will include agency, partnership, limited liabiity companies, etc., starting in 2007, I believe.At any rate, I will have to know it when I take the bar, and so my online law school is requiring it in 2L now, which I'm in.I transcribed this entire lecture & use it to study with.
