Oregon legal research /
No full text"The sixth edition of Oregon Legal Research emphasizes a user-friendly, process-oriented approach to state legal research, with significant additions of checklists and summaries to provide easy, efficient access to important information. The organization of chapters follows steps in the research process but reflects recent law student and professor feedback on how readers are using this book. New chapters cover local and tribal law, as these topics may be important aspects of thorough research in the state. Oregon Legal Research explains the sources, search techniques, and analysis of secondary source materials, constitutional law, statutes, legislative history, local law, administrative law, cases, and tribal law. Each chapter on primary sources integrates relevant information on updating the law. This book was designed specifically for teaching legal research to first-year law students, but it has also been successful with upper-level classes. Moreover, practitioners, paralegals, librarians, college students, and even laypeople will find it a useful introduction to Oregon legal sources"-- Provided by publisher
Building blocks for a modern privacy law ::a comparative study of the U.S. consumer online privacy rights act /
No full textThere is no global privacy or data law but often data and privacy are global. The study develops building blocks for a modern global privacy law or framework. The building blocks draw on the capabilities of new data technology and how human users interact with such technology. By integrating the building blocks into a modern privacy law or framework, countries can achieve a harmonization of their data and privacy regulation. The study further examines the U.S. Consumer Online Privacy Rights Act (COPRA), a federal privacy bill, and assesses its effectiveness against the building blocks of a modern privacy law or framework. The U.S. now has many state privacy laws but lacks a federal privacy law. COPRA has been one of the most comprehensive federal privacy bills. Its structure and content has influenced other federal privacy bills such as the American Privacy Rights Act. The study wants to raise interest for the U.S. perspective and current developments in U.S. privacy law. COPRA proposes new regulatory solutions how to meet current challenges in personal data processing which differ from European data protection law. Europe and the EU Commission should remain open to evaluating and, where possible, recognizing different regulatory choices such as in COPRA. This is why the study asks: Should the U.S. after COPRA be considered an adequate country according to Art. 45 para. 1 sentence 1 GDPR? Should EU data protection law draw inspiration from COPRA for a modern interpretation of the GDPR or for a possible reform of EU data protection law
Money, politics, and the first amendment ::fifty years of supreme court decisions and campaign finance reforms /
No full text2026 will be the 50th anniversary of the landmark Buckley v. Valeo Supreme Court decision that fundamentally reshaped the role of money in politics in the US. In that decision, the Court ruled that restrictions on candidate campaign spending were violations of the First Amendment. In 'Money, Politics, and the First Amendment', Lee Bollinger and Geoffrey Stone have gathered a cast of eminent professors, judges, and politicians, including Senators Amy Klobuchar and Sheldon Whitehouse, to analyze the initial decision and its long aftermath in the fullest scope possible
The crimes of others ::criminal records, publicity, and crimes of abuse /
No full textDo we have a right to know about each other's criminal past? And if so, just how publicly accessible should criminal records be? Does publicity serve an important purpose in fulfilling the public's right to know about who amongst their fellow citizens is dangerous or has violated collective moral norms? Does it provide transparency in criminal justice, the just punishment of the guilty, and the protection of the vulnerable from serial perpetrators? Or does it stigmatize people as dangerous or untrustworthy for life, so that those who have made mistakes in the past are still paying for them long after they have served their time? How should we design our laws and policies to reconcile or balance these apparently competing demands of (criminal) justice? This book draws on philosophical and legal theory as well as new empirical evidence about the impacts of criminal records to address these questions
Legal citation in a nutshell /
No full text"Learning legal citation is one of the difficult (and sometimes admittedly annoying) tasks that students new to the law face. This book is designed to ease that task. It initially focuses on conventions that underlie all accepted forms and systems of legal citation. Building on that understanding and an explanation of the process of using citations in legal writing, the book then discusses and illustrates the particular rules of The Bluebook for citing cases, statutes, and all other major legal sources. Its unique appendices provide a useful reference resource to aid students in formulating citations" -- Publisher's description
