By Marc M. Harrold
Observations of White Noise An Acid Test for the First Amendment examines the current state of the First Amendment, its scope and design, and its place in popular culture. Lawyer Marc M. Harrold candidly examines both mainstream and cutting-edge topics, including an overview of the First Amendment and its unique character in comparison with the other Amendments that comprise the Bill of Rights. In engaging fashion, he reveals the illogical reasoning behind the Supreme Court's sex-only obscenity doctrine and the over-expansive insertion of the First Amendment into tort suits between private parties where the government is not directly involved. Advance Praise for Observations of White Noise- "Observations of White Noise is a clear and provocative interpretation of the present state of First Amendment law as it impacts our ever-evolving culture. Marc Harrold powerfully trumpets the importance of free speech and representative government in a democratic society. Professor Harrold offers deep insights by integrating critical analysis and perspective on how judicial interpretations of our beloved First Amendment shape our nation and its culture." -Hon. Kenneth W. Starr, Dean and Professor of Law, Pepperdine School of Law. Former Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals, Solicitor General of the United States, Independent Counsel on the Whitewater matter, and author of FIRST AMONG EQUALS: THE SUPREME COURT IN AMERICAN LIFE. "A timely and thoughtful exploration of the newest generation of challenges to our ongoing American debate over the meaning of the First Amendment, gracefully intertwining 'breaking news' with discussion of classic First Amendment conundrums." Rodney A. Smolla, Dean and Professor of Law, University of Richmond School of Law and author: DELIBERATE INTENT, JERRY FALWELL V.

By Riddhi Dasgupta
Abstruse legal phrases often inform our understanding of intricate cases. But those situations are also led, not outpaced, by basic equity principles of life itself. What statisticians call the law of large numbers and intelligence analysts in the world of science fiction know as the Bergofsky Principle is our structural faith in empirical knowledge. In this day, this process of experience and learning has moved into an international and interdisciplinary scale. That idea cannot be lost on us. Around the world, business and political leaders work together to realize common goals. But how does the rule of law impact these developments in strategy and technology, sustainable development, and access to justice? Armed with realism, Changing Face of the Law: A Global Perspective actively explores the legal traditions of the United States, India, and other commonwealth nations. A budding lawyer, author Riddhi Dasgupta provides an insider's look at the link between the rule of law and corporate ethics, the law's imagination, and our global dialogue. Lawful governance, or Gandhi's swaraj, is our linchpin. It appreciates the complexities of life and insightfully examines the modern perspectives of law. Giving us examples of this approach in the areas of free thought, federalism and development, and the law's role as a teacher, Dasgupta pinpoints the "active liberty" of the world's citizens-their own governance-as the key issue. Every generation has its challenges, and ours lie in combating the emergent economic, health, corruption, and terrorism crises through the rule of law. Each sector in our society (from multinational corporations to social groups) is a vital piece of the puzzle. There is no doubt that the success or failure of this collaboration will measure our legacy.

By Patrick McGrath
Americans have the best constitutional principles: limited government, the rule of law, and the God-given rights of men and women. Yet what attitudes do the American people hold toward their government today? Chaos, confusion, contempt and choler. The reason Americans feel that way, contends author Patrick J. McGrath, is that our “divided” structure of government means no one is responsible for the errors that do come along. McGrath says it’s time to consider the nearly-heretical idea that our structure of government is fundamentally flawed. There is a better way, McGrath contends, one that already works in many other countries – the Cabinet or Responsible form of Government. After illustrating the problem and the way to a solution, McGrath presents his proposal for a new Constitution based on a Responsible Government structure combined with American constitutional principles.

By William Smith
Common Sense Revisited is an effort to reflect on the government created by the founding fathers as it has come to exist in our world today. In reality the author does not see any resemblance at all. Using the simple process of identifying the provisions of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, the author demonstrates how the government today rejects them completely at will. This analogy is best demonstrated in exposing certain myths about out government that have served to hide government perfidy. We are not "a nation of laws" as the government so often proclaims. One need only understand that the Constitution set out laws to govern the government of this nation. Yet, the government does not abide these rules. Thus if the government does not obey the laws that govern it, it is totally unreal to expect the people to be governed by illegal laws made by that government. We, the people, must make the government obey the laws so that we may live in the security that this nation was intended to provide.

By Raoul Berger
Does the Supreme Court have the authority to deprive the people of the right to govern themselves? Marshaling a convincing array of historical sources, Raoul Berger demonstrates in Death Penalties that the Framers of the Constitution withheld such power from the Court and that its death penalty decisions unconstitutionally impose the Justices' morals upon an unwilling people.

By Richard D. Parker
"What a breath of fresh air! Anyone who thinks a constitutional court must be conceived solely in terms of restraining popular impulse and containing the passions of the masses will have to think again after reading Parker's provocative books which makes a very eloquent plea for assigning to courts and constitutions the very difficult mission of unleashing political energy and stimulating public participation in civic life." -Laurence H. Tribe, Harvard University Law School "Even those of us who disagree with some of Parker's arguments should welcome his central point: that it is neither desirable nor possible in a democracy to find permanent bypasses around public opinion on the most important issues." -U.S. Representative Barney Frank "Though I didn't concur with all of it, this is the most provocative book on law and politics in a long time." -U.S. Representative Mel Reynolds "Much of this book is downright fun to read-a rarity in legal scholarship. Parker's main theme-that we need to rediscover constitutional law's populist/majoritarian nature and possibilities-is both provocative and supremely important." -Akhil Amar, Yale Law School "This book deserves to be read, reread, and reread again. Its logic and fundamental understanding of the purpose of constitutional law will persuade, challenge, or infuriate readers. But Parker's words will linger and his book will sow an intellectual revolution grounded in the experience and sensibilities of citizens. Oligarchs, plutocrats, sophists, and practitioners of noblesse oblige beware: your controlling processes stand exposed by a profoundly illuminating mind." -Ralph Nader

By Daniel Cohen
In Unhappy Anniversary, Daniel Mark Cohen hands down a devastating indictment of the Supreme Court for the immaculate failure of its obscenity jurisprudence, and the consequent corruption of American children by pornography on the Internet. Interweaving the otherwise disparate subjects of American law, modern technology, the definition of language, the meaning of sexuality, and the writings of the Founding Fathers, Cohen endeavors to break new intellectual and legal ground through the introduction of three novel propositions: (1) that pictures do not constitute a form of speech (and so pornography is not entitled to the highest protection accorded by the First Amendment); (2) that pornography constitutes a modern, albeit unacknowledged form of prostitution mediated through still-photograph, motion-picture, videotape, and digital cameras; and (3) that the prophetic words of the Founding Fathers about collective moral agency apply with utmost urgency to the people of the United States in the early twenty-first century. However most of all, Unhappy Anniversary constitutes an impassioned statement of advocacy for a forsaken constituency in this country: more than sixty million children who have been effectively abandoned by the United States Supreme Court and the American nation as a whole. Daniel Mark Cohen works as an assistant public defender in Palm Beach County, Florida.

By Maggi Hall
I should have heeded my husband's apprehension and our friends' advice, but I wanted that house. Because Ron and I were public school teachers and supported public education, we ignored our friends' warnings and enrolled our daughters in Marion's school system. A year later I transferred to the Marion system from Florence where I had developed two educational programs: the itinerant learning disabilities program and a self-contained middle school class for emotionally disturbed juvenile delinquents. In Marion, I was assigned to two schools as a learning disabilities clinician. Within weeks of my transfer, my first encounter with the establishment made me acutely aware that the warnings of our friends were accurate. Almost four decades since the landmark decision in Pickering v. Board of Education, 1968, many teachers still cannot criticize their school system without fear of retaliation. When author Maggi Hall, a veteran public school teacher, wrote a letter to the newspaper in Marion County, South Carolina, criticizing her school district, she didn't realize that one day she would be called upon to defend the cornerstone of democracy itself-the First Amendment. AFFIRMED: Teachers as Citizens is her amazing story of determination.

By Prince Adebayo Ogunmeno BA JD
In Silence Is Power, a seasoned criminal defense attorney provides valuable information and a basic understanding of the law for all American citizens interested in asserting their basic constitutional rights when detained by officers of the law. Adebayo Ogunmeno has devoted his life and his law practice to helping individuals protect their freedom and liberty in the fields of criminal, constitutional and civil rights law. While defending individuals accused of breaking various laws, he has witnessed some of the accused being tricked into “confessing” to a crime or thinking of the police as a friend and casually making statements off the record—statements that were later used to convict them. Ogunmeno relies on his extensive professional background and personal experiences as he shares numerous scenarios and gives advice on how to handle specific situations such as: - What to do when you are pulled over by the police
- The implications of police interrogation
- How to protect fundamental rights and deal with a search warrant
- The intricacies of the court process
Silence Is Power when it comes to dealing with the police and other law enforcement officers, ultimately reminding all Americans not to become victims due to ignorance of the law.
