Wills, Trusts, and Estates

The Essentials

By: Reid Kress Weisbord,David Horton,Stephen K. Urice

Wills, Trusts, and Estates: The Essentials (“Essentials”) offers a streamlined yet comprehensive presentation of wealth transfer law for an introductory law school course. Written by widely recognized scholars in the field, this text covers the core legal principles that are essential to a trusts and estates practice, including most concepts that are tested on the bar exam. For a fresh perspective, Essentials incorporates current events, lively cases, and engaging examples. It also enables students to maximize out-of-class preparation time by delivering information in an efficient, straightforward way. Each chapter contains: (1) clearly explained summaries of each doctrine, (2) explanatory narration accompanying all statutory authority, (3) thoroughly edited judicial opinions followed by analytical questions and answers, and (4) realistic problems, designed for classroom instruction, illustrating and applying doctrines and statutes. New to the 3rd Edition: Topical coverage has been updated by incorporating summaries of, or citations to, recently decided cases illustrating current trends and debates. Every chapter has been infused with a rich collection of new, relevant cases decided within the last few years. To avoid the accumulation of unnecessary bulk, content from prior editions was shortened or retired to make room for new developments: the Third Edition’s scope of topical coverage is broader, but its length is slightly shorter than the Second Edition. Prior coverage has been enriched with findings from cutting-edge empirical research to provide students with a realistic sense of how the practice of trusts and estates operates today. Professors and students will benefit from: Essentials makes a challenging course accessible, lively, and interactive. It is concise yet comprehensive, and adaptable for two, three, and four credit courses. Essentials emphasizes the development of problem-solving skills by presenting problem sets that allow students to apply newly learned legal doctrine in realistic scenarios, mostly based on litigated cases. Many problems are as detail-rich as the cases, which facilitates in-depth discussion of doctrinal nuance. Narrative responses for each problem set appear in the Teacher’s Manual. Students appreciate a straight-forward approach that does not “hide the ball”: legal doctrine is explained up front in plain English. Some students have found that the text’s plain English doctrinal summaries obviate the need to purchase a study supplement. For professors, streamlining the delivery of basic knowledge facilitates better use of class time, which can focus on analysis of problem sets and using state law distinctions from the uniform codes to reinforce student’s understanding of basic concepts. The questions and answers following the judicial decisions encourage student self-assessment. Most judicial opinions are accompanied by family tree diagrams (in the book and accompanying PowerPoint teaching slides), thereby allowing students to quickly ascertain the facts of each case and focus on the application of law. Problems and examples employ gender-inclusive facts and illustrations that feature same-sex families. The text makes a sincere effort to promote goals of inclusion without appearing to tokenize nontraditional relationships.

The Catholic Roots of the Protestant Gospel

The Catholic Roots of the Protestant Gospel

Encounter between the Middle Ages and the Reformation

By: Stephen Strehle

The Catholic Roots of the Protestant Gospel is concerned with anti-Catholic bias in Protestantism. It wishes to show that the special concepts of salvation in Protestantism actually arose from Catholic ideas and that these same concepts became distorted or one-sided as Protestantism sought to negate their orthodox Catholic opponents. Among the doctrines discussed are included the following: justification by faith, assurance of salvation, imputation of righteousness, covenant theology, penal substitution, limited atonement, and supralapsarianism. The work is filled with historical analysis, theological insights, and ecumenical exhortations. The historian will find a thorough analysis of primary and secondary sources of the Reformation. The theologian will be challenged with fresh approaches to traditional doctrines. The ecumenist will be heartened by its spirit and analysis of subjects that suffer too often from anti-Catholic bias.

The Jews in America Trilogy

"Our Crowd," The Grandees, and "The Rest of Us"

By: Stephen Birmingham

Three New York Times bestsellers chronicle the rise of America’s most influential Jewish families as they transition from poor immigrants to household names. In his acclaimed trilogy, author Stephen Birmingham paints an engrossing portrait of Jewish American life from the colonial era through the twentieth century with fascinating narrative and meticulous research. The collection’s best-known book, “Our Crowd” follows nineteenth-century German immigrants with recognizable names like Loeb, Sachs, Lehman, Guggenheim, and Goldman. Turning small family businesses into institutions of finance, banking, and philanthropy, they elevated themselves from Lower East Side tenements to Park Avenue mansions. Barred from New York’s gentile elite because of their religion and humble backgrounds, they created their own exclusive group, as affluent and selective as the one that had refused them entry. The Grandees travels farther back in history to 1654, when twenty-three Sephardic Jews arrived in New York. Members of this small and insulated group—considered the first Jewish community in America—soon established themselves as wealthy businessmen and financiers. With descendants including poet Emma Lazarus, Barnard College founder Annie Nathan Meyer, and Supreme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo, these families were—and still are—hugely influential in the nation’s culture, politics, and economics. In “The Rest of Us,” Birmingham documents the third major wave of Jewish immigration: Eastern Europeans who swept through Ellis Island between 1880 and 1924. These refugees from czarist Russia and Polish shtetls were considered barbaric, uneducated, and too steeped in the traditions of the “old country” to be accepted by the well-established German American Jews. But the new arrivals were tough, passionate, and determined. Their incredible rags to riches stories include those of the lives of Hollywood tycoon Samuel Goldwyn, Broadway composer Irving Berlin, makeup mogul Helena Rubenstein, and mobster Meyer Lansky. This unforgettable collection comprises a comprehensive account of the Jewish American upper class, their opulent world, and their lasting mark on American society.

The Dictatorship of Woke Capital

How Political Correctness Captured Big Business

The Dictatorship of Woke Capital

How Political Correctness Captured Big Business

By: Stephen R. Soukup

For the better part of a century, the Left has been waging a slow, methodical battle for control of the institutions of Western civilization. During most of that time, “business”— and American Big Business, in particular — remained the last redoubt for those who believe in free people, free markets, and the criticality of private property. Over the past two decades, however, that has changed, and the Left has taken its long march to the last remaining non-Leftist institution. Over the course of the past two years or so, a small handful of politicians on the Right — Senators Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio, and Josh Hawley, to name three — have begun to sense that something is wrong with American business and have sought to identify the problem and offer solutions to rectify it. While the attention of high-profile politicians to the issue is welcome, to date the solutions they have proposed are inadequate, for a variety of reasons, including a failure to grasp the scope of the problem, failure to understand the mechanisms of corporate governance, and an overreliance on state-imposed, top-down solutions. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the problem and the players involved, both on the aggressive, hardcharging Left and in the nascent conservative resistance. It explains what the Left is doing and how and why the Right must be prepared and willing to fight back to save this critical aspect of American culture from becoming another, more economically powerful version of the “woke” college campus.

Gravesend in the Great War

Gravesend in the Great War

By: Stephen Wynn

Gravesend was like most other towns in the UK during the course of the First World War. When the call came to serve King and Country, local men enlisted in their thousands, but sadly not all of them returned.This book gives an insight into the Tilbury to Gravesend Pontoon Bridge, which allowed the rapid deployment of troops in the event of a German invasion along the East Coast. It provided a quicker route to get troops, equipment and supplies from Essex into Kent for transportation across to France. It looks at the role both New Tavern and Shornemead Fort, part of the London Defence system, played in preventing the German Navy from carrying out direct attacks on London.There is an account of the Gravesend riots, in which groups of local people burnt and looted premises they believed belonged to German aliens who were residents in the town, and the unique story of Captain Robert Campbell, taken as a prisoner by the Germans early in the war. He was allowed home by the Kaiser to see his dying mother one last time, and voluntarily returned to captivity in Germany, on his word of honour to do so.The story of Sir Gilbert Parker, the wartime MP for Gravesend, is also told. He was instrumental in convincing America to join the war as a British Allie, which was no easy task, as the United States Justice Department estimated there were some 480,000 Germans living in America at the time.The book also tells the individual stories of Gravesend's men who fought in the war, some who survived and returned to their loved ones, and others who were not so fortunate. It documents the triumphs and tragedies of Gravesend's people as they sought to find normality amongst a reality far removed from anything they had ever known before.
