Benchbook on International Law
Diane Marie Amann and American Society of International Law
Intended as an aid to judges and litigants when foreign or international law (including treaties and customary norms) forms a part of the case before them....
Begins with a primer on international law's sources and status in U.S. courts. Jurisdictional, preliminary, and procedural concerns, like immunities and evidence-gathering, next are treated. The Benchbook then provides discussions of concrete instances in which such issues may arise; for example, arbitration, child abduction, human rights, and the international sale of goods. It concludes with issues of interpretation and research resources.--PrefaceReproduced with permission of the American Association of International Law.

Corporate Governance in the Common-law World: the Political Foundations of Shareholder Power
Christopher Bruner
Excerpt reproduced with permission of Cambridge University Press
"This book presents a new comparative theory to explain this divergence and explores the theory's ramifications for law and public policy. Bruner argues that regulatory structures affecting other stakeholders' interests - notably differing degrees of social welfare protection for employees - have decisively impacted the degree of political opposition to shareholder-centric policies across the common-law world. These dynamics remain powerful forces today, and understanding them will be vital as post-crisis reforms continue to take shape."--From publisher

In order to create a streamlined casebook, the authors have chosen topics selectively, drawing guidance from American Health Lawyers Association curriculum recommendations, and engaged the topics in depth so students emerge with an understanding of the most important features of American health care law, prepared to practice.
