The last days of colonialism taught America's revolutionaries that soldiers in the streets bring conflict and tyranny. As a result, our country has generally worked to keep the military out of law enforcement. But according to investigative reporter Radley Balko, over the last several decades, America's cops have increasingly come to resemble ground troops. The consequences have been dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as an other--an enemy. Today's armored-up policemen are a far cry from the constables of early America. The unrest of the 1960s brought about the invention of the SWAT unit--which in turn led to the debut of military tactics in the ranks of police officers. Nixon's War on Drugs, Reagan's War on Poverty, Clinton's COPS program, the post--9/11 security state under Bush and Obama: by degrees, each of these innovations expanded and empowered police forces, always at the expense of civil liberties. And these are just four among a slew of reckless programs. In Rise of the Warrior Cop, Balko shows how politicians' ill-considered policies and relentless declarations of war against vague enemies like crime, drugs, and terror have blurred the distinction between cop and soldier. His fascinating, frightening narrative shows how over a generation, a creeping battlefield mentality has isolated and alienated American police officers and put them on a collision course with the values of a free society.

Who owns Scotland? How did they get it? What happened to all the common land in Scotland? Has the Scottish Parliament made any difference? Can we get our common good land back? In The Poor Had No Lawyers, Andy Wightman, author of Who Owns Scotland, updates the statistics of landownership in Scotland and takes the reader on a voyage of discovery into Scotland's history to find out how and why landowners got their hands on the millions of acres of land that were once held in common. He tells the untold story of how Scotland's legal establishment and politicians managed to appropriate land through legal fixes. From Robert the Bruce to Willie Ross and from James V to Donald Dewar, land has conferred political and economic power. Have attempts to redistribute this power more equitably made any difference and what are the full implications of the recent debt-fuelled housing bubble? For all those with an interest in urban and rural land in Scotland, this updated edition of The Poor Had No Lawyers provides a fascinating analysis of one the most important political questions in Scotland - who owns Scotland and how did they get it?

The Guidelines for the Assessment of General Damages in Personal Injury Cases are designed to provide a clear and logical framework for the assessment of damages in personal injury cases. The first edition of this title was regarded as a landmark in personal injury practice. Each succeeding issue has built on this reputation and the book has now firmly established itself as essential reading for all those involved in the area of personal injury litigation. This new edition has been fully updated to take into account inflation since the last edition as well as reflect decisions of the higher courts on quantum. It also retains the column of figures appropriate to those few remaining claims, still coming before the courts, in which the 10% uplift in general damages recommended by Sir Rupert Jackson and endorsed by the Court of Appeal in Simmons v Castle [2012] EWCA Civ 1288 does not apply. As with previous editions, all judges involved in hearing personal injury cases will automatically receive a copy of the book. Read more

Although the system has been operating for over eight years, A Practical Guide to Simple Procedure in the Sheriff Court is the first book to be written on this important topic. Furthermore, it is designed to assist solicitors to minimize the ever present perils of complaints and the non-payment of fees and outlays. The book pays particular regard to risk management in relation to cost, delay and the uncertainties over the rules of evidence.The book regards Simple Procedure as only one component of a small debt recovery process that requires knowledge and awareness of the practicalities of the law of expenses and of diligence, two key areas which are not sufficiently covered by the Rules themselves. The book looks at other systems of low value claims and argues firstly that solicitors should try to minimise their involvement in Simple Procedure completely and, secondly, that low value actions should be taken out of the courts entirely.While A Practical Guide to Simple Procedure in the Sheriff Court is designed primarily for solicitors it will also be of use to students and party litigants seeking to navigate their way round this form of process.ABOUT THE AUTHORAndrew Stevenson is a practising solicitor advocate at Waddell and Mackintosh, Troon. He first appeared in the small claims court in 1989, gave a seminar for the Royal Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow when new Summary Cause and Small Claims rules were introduced in 2002, and another for the Glasgow Bar Association when Simple Procedure was launched in 2016.Andrew has written extensively on civil procedure and is a contributor to Greens Litigation Styles. He is the author of Style Writs for the Sheriff Court 5th edition (Bloomsbury, 2023) and A Practical Guide to Conducting a Sheriff Court Proof (Law Brief Publishing, 2023). He is a past President of the G.B.A. and was formerly a Reporter to the Client Relations Office of the Law Society of Scotland. He is currently the Secretary of the Scottish Law Agents’ Society. Andrew is a columnist for The Scotsman. He has drafted legislation for the Church of Scotland and is a vice-convenor of its Discipline Tribunal.CONTENTSChapter 1 – Risk ManagementChapter 2 – The Costs of Low Value ActionsChapter 3 – Sources of the Law of Simple ProcedureChapter 4 – Civil OnlineChapter 5 – Other Commonwealth SystemsChapter 6 – The Misnomer That Is Simple ProcedureChapter 7 – The Structure of the Simple Procedure RulesChapter 8 – Principles, Powers and the Definition of a Simple Procedure ClaimChapter 9 – Representation and SupportChapter 10 – Service of DocumentsChapter 11 – How to Make a ClaimChapter 12 – Interim DiligenceChapter 13 – How to Respond to a ClaimChapter 14 – Undisputed and Disputed Cases, First Written Orders and Case Management DiscussionsChapter 15 – InterlocutorsChapter 16 – MotionsChapter 17 – EvidenceChapter 18 – Proof and the Granting of DecreeChapter 19 – ExpensesChapter 20 – Enforcing a Decree in ScotlandChapter 21 – AppealsChapter 22 – Transfer of Causes Out of Simple Procedure, Reference to the E.C.J., Interventions by the E.H.R.C. and S.C.H.R., Damages Management Orders, Child’s Property Administration Orders, Equality Act 2010 ClaimsThe Future of Simple Procedure Read more
