  Handbook on Biotechnology Law, Business, and Policy: Human Health Products from the Laboratory Bench to Market Approvals

  Michael J. Malinowski

  This book offers readers access to a baseline of ‘critical mass’ knowledge in commercial biotech research and development (“R&D”). The clear, concise coverage spans from laboratory bench research to regulatory market approvals for a range of the primary biotech human health products. The discussion includes coverage of the advent of biologics, products derived from living organisms to treat life-threatening and otherwise seriously debilitating diseases, including a range of cancers and Hepatitis C, but at tremendous costs in both development and the delivery of care.
  
  This book is an invaluable reference resource for law, business, and medical school educators and students; biopharmaceutical executives; investors in the field; university and other research institution professionals, such as technology transfer administrators; research scientists; regulators; and the general public with interest in the enormous economic and human health impact of biotechnology.

  Cases and Materials on Maritime Law

  Frank L. Maraist, Thomas C. Galligan Jr., Catherine M. Maraist, and Dean A. Sutherland

  The third edition of this law school casebook, like the first two, focuses on modern admiralty practice. The selected cases and materials discuss current issues faced by a maritime law yer, in addition to the historical bases of those issues. This third edition includes new and significant cases decided since the second edition was published, including cases affecting vessel status, maritime contracts and punitive damages. Pedagogically, all relevant materials are included in this one volume. The relevant statutes are placed along with the key cases in the text, so the students need only flip a page or so to get to the relevant statute. For context, a conversion chart of Title 46 is provided in an appendix. The order of the materials in this edition have been rearranged to facilitate its use either in a shorter maritime personal injury/wrongful death course or in a full admiralty law survey course. The first ten chapters focus on admiralty jurisdiction as well as maritime personal injury and wrongful death law. The following chapters cover other aspects of maritime law, including charter parties, cargo law, maritime liens, collision, tugs, towage and pilotage, marine insurance, limitation of liability, sovereign immunity, salvage, choice of law, as well as maritime jurisdiction and procedure.

  Natural Resources Law: Private Rights and Public Interest

  Blake Hudson, Eric Freyfogle, and Michael Blumm

  This casebook offers a view of natural resources law rich in history, yet exposing students to the complexities of practicing natural resources law in the 21st century. Given that the focus of most Natural Resources Law casebooks is public lands and public law (often at the federal level), this casebook is unique in its primary focus on natural resource conflicts on private lands and its significant focus on private law (though public law is also a focus). While we include chapters on federal public lands and areas of federal primacy like wetlands regulation and endangered species protection, our focus is largely on natural resources law in states that are not dominated by federal public lands, since sixty percent of the land in the United States is privately owned. We therefore think the book is especially appropriate for students in states east of the 100th meridian.
  
  Although we address particular resources separately -- including private and public rights in waterways (including the public trust doctrine), wetlands, wildlife, water, minerals, forests, grazing, recreation, and renewable resources -- we draw frequent comparisons of the law's treatment of natural resources to allow students to analyze the consistency or inconsistency of natural resources law across diverse subject areas. For example, with some regularity we offer comparisons of those natural resources that are allocated on a first-in-time principle as opposed to those dispensed according to notions of reasonable use. We also compare management regimes throughout, including non-governmental decision making.
  
  We make an effort to build on the students' studies of common law doctrines like trespass, nuisance, and servitude law to show how they influence the use, development, and preservation of natural resources. The question of development vs. preservation is a persistent issue, and the constitutional takings issue is another repeated theme.

  Speeches

  Paul R. Baier

  The book tells the story of Eldon Fallon's invitation to Professor Baier to become the first Scholar-in-Residence of the LBF. Thereafter, the reader listens anew to our first Scholar-in-Residence's oration unveiling the Rosenthal Portrait of Chief Justice Edward Douglas White and to his speech "Time and the Court," on the occasion of the Bicentennial of the Supreme Court of the United States. Vibrant verbal portraits of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr., Judge Albert Tate, Jr., and other jurists fill the book. Stage appearances at the Library of Congress and the Social Law Library, Boston, add teasing drama to the book. Of these speeches, Justice Blackmun writes "They range from intense verbal portraits of jurists the author has admired-with fine and peppery doses of Holmes and Scalia-to serious detailed reviews of the work of the Supreme Court at critical points." Judge Eldon Fallon adds: "Professor Baier knows his history. He has a way with words. His speeches, like Holmes's before him, touch hearts."

  Louisiana Law of Obligations: A Methodological and Comparative Perspective

  Alain A. Levasseur, John Randall Trahan, and Sandi S. Varnado

  This innovative coursebook on Louisiana’s law of obligations covers the law of contractual obligations in particular and the General Principles that govern the whole law of “Obligations.” It features carefully edited excerpts from Louisiana judicial opinions and scholarly writings, as well as citations to pertinent articles of the Louisiana Civil Code. Additionally, this coursebook includes features that most others do not. Following each case is a series of questions, some designed to direct students to the significant points of the court’s analysis, others designed to deepen students’ understanding of civil law methodology. This book not only provides students (and lawyers) with a comprehensive introduction to Louisiana’s law of Obligations, but also invites readers to draw comparisons between that law and the complimentary law of other legal systems.

  The Global Workplace: International and Comparative Employment Law: Cases and Materials

  William Corbett, Roger Blanpain, Susan Bisom-Rapp, Hilary K. Josephs, and Michael J. Zimmer

  The first casebook covering both international and comparative labor and employment law is characterized by its authorship by prolific, respected scholars, all of whom have taught law outside the United States. A solid conceptual framework compares national laws dealing with individual collective employment rights, including antidiscrimination law and privacy law, and considers the systems used to resolve labor and employment disputes in the context of international labor law. A sweeping coverage of international labor law considers the International Labour Organization, NAFTA and other bilateral trade agreements that include labor standards, and the European Union. In addition, The Global Workplace explores transnational corporations’ self-regulatory efforts (or codes of conduct,) and the mechanisms for pursuing international labor standards in United States courts. Comparisons are drawn among the laws of the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, China, Japan and India. Exploring the similarities and the differences among various approaches to the employment relationship allows students to better understand and evaluate the approach each country takes, and helps them develop a normative approach to labor and employment law. National legal materials are presented within historical and cultural context. A Teachers Manual and Website provides background information for the material in the casebook, answers to questions and problems in the text, additional problems, sample syllabi, exams, and PowerPoint slides.

  Tort Law: The American and Louisiana Perspectives

  William Corbett, Frank L. Maraist, and John M. Church

  Tort Law: The American and Louisiana Perspectives, Second Edition has as its primary objective a study of tort law in the United States and Louisiana. It differs from most other torts casebooks, however, in that it has a secondary objective of providing an exercise in comparative law. In the United States, we often overlook the fact that the common law system that prevails in our nation is not the only legal system in the world. Much of the world applies a civil law approach in which a civil code has a more prominent role than case law. In a world in which trade and economics, politics, and law cross national borders, it has become increasingly important to be aware of and conversant in other nations' legal systems. Louisiana, the only state in the United States that can be described as a mixed jurisdiction, using both civil law and common law, provides an excellent model for examining and comparing and contrasting civil law and common law approaches to various legal issues. This book invites the reader to both study tort law and consider the differences and similarities between the common law states and a state that has a civil code and views the role of the courts and the legislature somewhat differently.
