Civil Rights & Liberties in the 21st Century

By: John C Domino

This up-to-date analysis of the Supreme Court's landmark rulings on civil rights and liberties is a discussion of the facts, legal issues, and constitutional questions surrounding those rulings. Domino's text serves as either a core text in courses on civil liberties and civil rights, or as a supplementary text in courses on constitutional law and the judiciary. The book is written in the belief that the key to understanding constitutional law is not having the right answers but asking the right questions. It encourages students to be critical thinkers and provides a historical context so students can better understand competing social, legal, and political interests affecting the Supreme Court's decisions today. The text also includes numerous short excerpts from some of the more influential, eloquent, and controversial Supreme Court opinions to illustrate the handiwork of the powerful legal minds who have helped to shape our society. It reminds us that "the Court" is not an abstract legal mechanism, but rather a group of human beings with divergent opinions.

Digital Systems Engineering

By: William J. Dally,John W. Poulton

What makes some computers slow? Why do some digital systems operate reliably for years while others fail mysteriously every few hours? How can some systems dissipate kilowatts while others operate off batteries? These questions of speed, reliability, and power are all determined by the system-level electrical design of a digital system. Digital Systems Engineering presents a comprehensive treatment of these topics. It combines a rigorous development of the fundamental principles in each area with real-world examples of circuits and methods. The book not only serves as an undergraduate textbook, filling the gap between circuit design and logic design, but can also help practising digital designers keep pace with the speed and power of modern integrated circuits. The techniques described in this book, once used only in supercomputers, are essential to the correct and efficient operation of any type of digital system.

Federal Appellate Procedure Manual

By: Alex Kozinski,John K. Rabiej

During the past quarter century, most of the individual rules of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure (FRAP) have been amended to account for new laws, case-law development, practices, and technology. New provisions and rules were also added addressing privacy concerns arising from electronic case filings made publicly available on the internet, citation of unpublished court opinions, electronic means of service, filing of cross-appeals, computation of time periods, entry of judgment, and corporate disclosure requirements. The Federal Appellate Procedure Manual offers a convenient, up-to-date reference source for both new and experienced practitioners that provides unique insights into FRAP and appellate practice from authors who shared first-hand experience in the rulemaking process. The Manual begins with several sections on the jurisdiction of courts of appeals; focusing on the final-decision doctrine. The remaining sections concentrate on FRAP rules that deal with civil cases, excluding for the most part consideration of habeas corpus, administrative agency decisions, Tax Court rulings, and criminal cases. The Manual highlights key passages in the FRAP Committee Notes most pertinent to understanding the rules. The copious citations to very recent case law throughout the Manual account for the many amendments and new FRAP rules and evolving case-law jurisprudence.
