The West Virginia State Constitution

By: Robert M. Bastress Jr.

The West Virginia State Constitution provides a review of the history and development of West Virginia's Constitution and an updated section-by-section analysis of its meaning. The State has had two constitutions, the original that was ratified in 1863 and the current one that was initially adopted in 1872. Both were rooted in the several Virginia Constitutions that preceded them but also included major reforms that emerged out of ongoing disputes between the western and eastern regions of antebellum Virginia. Amendments in the thirties and between 1968 and 1982 modernized the Constitution. This history is recounted in Part I of the book. This second edition provides section-by-section analysis that describes the origins and evolutions of the provisions and, more importantly, summarizes the interpretations given to them by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals over more than 150 years of the State's existence. The text reduces the case law to readily grasped concepts and cites the leading cases. A useful and convenient table of cases is provided, and a bibliography to facilitate more extensive or specific research is included. The Oxford Commentaries on the State Constitutions of the United States is an important series that reflects a renewed international interest in constitutional history and provides expert insight into each of the 50 state constitutions. Each volume in this innovative series contains a historical overview of the state's constitutional development, a section-by-section analysis of its current constitution, and a comprehensive guide to further research. Under the expert editorship of Professor G. Alan Tarr, Director of the Center on State Constitutional Studies at Rutgers University, this series provides essential reference tools for understanding state constitutional law. Books in the series can be purchased individually or as part of a complete set, giving readers unmatched access to these important political documents.

Material Witness

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

In this “wild, exhilarating ride” from the New York Times–bestselling author, a prosecutor goes undercover—on the court—after a basketball player’s murder (Chicago Tribune). Marion Simmons is big. He’s tough. And he takes a long time to die. Simmons survives the long ride through Queens, clinging to life until the car stops in an abandoned lot, and a hit man puts two bullets in his head. When the police arrive, they recognize the dead man instantly. Simmons is the most famous basketball player in New York City, and his murder—along with the fortune of cocaine found in the car—will turn the sport upside down. When he was in college, Butch Karp dreamed of playing professional basketball. Instead, he became the toughest prosecutor in the District Attorney’s office. To get to the truth of Simmons’ murder, Karp goes undercover as a player—putting his life on the line to cleanse the sport of drug dealing, point shaving, and murder for hire. From the former Manhattan assistant DA and bestselling author of Justice Denied, Material Witness is a standout legal thriller in the long-running Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series. Material Witness is the 5th book in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. “A winner . . . a master of the crime grime of Manhattan . . . for those who have stalked the criminal courts there’s tremendous authenticity.” —F. Lee Baily “Extraordinary . . . sexy dialogue, rousing action, pungent observation on the New York criminal justice system.” —Chicago Tribune

Reversible Error, Material Witness, and Justice Denied

By: Robert K. Tanenbaum

Three pulse-pounding thrillers in the long-running series from the New York Times–bestselling author and “Joseph Wambaugh of the judicial system” (San Diego Tribune). A successful trial lawyer and “one hell of a writer,” Robert K. Tanenbaum crafts his legal thrillers with authenticity and breath-taking suspense. Here are three books in his series featuring Manhattan assistant district attorney Roger “Butch” Karp, who struggles against an often-corrupt judicial system. But with the help of Marlene Ciampi, he fights the good fight with energy, wit, and a passion for the truth (New York Post). Reversible Error: When a group of politicians back his bid for Manhattan’s district attorney, Butch soon realizes that his benefactors have their own sinister motives . . . “Sizzles and explodes . . . a gut-wrencher that takes Tanenbaum to the summit!” —Booklist Material Witness: When a star basketball player is found murdered with a huge stash of cocaine, Butch must go undercover to stop a conspiracy of drugs, gambling, and murder . . . “[A] witty, highly intricate big-city police thriller.” —USA Today Justice Denied: After a Turkish diplomat is gunned down in the street, Butch and Marlene are caught in a deadly web of corruption more sinister than even he could have imagined . . . “[A] gritty tale of intrigue.” —Chicago Tribune
