Mass Torts in a World of Settlement
by Richard A. NagaredaThe traditional definition of torts involves bizarre, idiosyncratic events where a single plaintiff with a physical impairment sues the specific defendant he believes to have wrongfully caused that malady. Yet public attention has focused increasingly on mass personal-injury lawsuits over asbestos, cigarettes, guns, the diet drug fen-phen, breast implants, and, most recently, Vioxx. Richard A. Nagareda’s Mass Torts in a World of Settlement is the first attempt to analyze the lawyer’s role in this world of high-stakes, multibillion-dollar litigation. These mass settlements, Nagareda argues, have transformed the legal system so acutely that rival teams of lawyers operate as sophisticated governing powers rather than litigators. His controversial solution is the replacement of the existing tort system with a private administrative framework to address both current and future claims. This book is a must-read for concerned citizens, policymakers, lawyers, investors, and executives grappling with the changing face of mass torts.

The Massachusetts State Constitution (Oxford Commentaries on the State Constitutions of the United States)
by Lawrence M. Friedman Lynnea ThodyIn The Massachusetts State Constitution, Lawrence Friedman and Lynnea Thody present a comprehensive and accessible survey of Massachusetts constitutional history and constitutional law. The Massachusetts Constitution is the oldest state constitution and has remained essentially unchanged since it was drafted in 1780. It served as a model for the United States Constitution and many of the state constitutions that followed.

It begins with an overview of Massachusetts's constitutional history, and then provides an in-depth, section-by-section analysis of the entire constitution, detailing important changes that have been made since its drafting. This treatment, which includes a list of cases, index, and bibliography, makes this guide indispensable for students, scholars, and practitioners of the Massachusetts constitution. 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.
Maßgeblichkeitsprinzip und Einheitsbilanz: Geschichte, Gegenwart und Perspektiven des Verhältnisses von Handels- und Steuerbilanz (Unternehmen und Steuern #1)
by Lutz SchmidtRechnungslegung von Unternehmen wird durch Ressourcenknappheit, Unsicherheit und Arbeitsteiligkeit des Wirtschaftens erzwungen. Die geltende Rechtsordnung fordert im Handelsrecht eine Rechnungslegung vor sich selbst und gegenüber den an der Unternehmung teilnehmenden schutzwürdigen Personen - insbesondere den Gläubigern und Eigentümern, das Steuerrecht statuiert die Rechnungslegungspflicht gegenüber dem Zwangsteilhaber Fiskus. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob Rech nungslegung gegenüber privaten Unternehmensteilnehmern grundsätzlich in gleicher Weise erfolgen kann oder muß wie gegenüber dem Steuergläubiger. Die Geschichte der Rechnungslegung wie auch ein Blick über die Grenzen liefern unterschiedliche Antworten auf diese Grundsatzfrage. Historisch ist diese in Deutschland vor über 100 Jahren eher zufällig entschieden worden, als es der Kauf mannschaft opportun erschien, für Zwecke der Besteuerung statt der bis dahin anzuwendenden Einnahmen-Ausgaben-Rechnung die vom Handelsrecht bereits angewandte Bilanz zugrundezulegen. Dies war die Geburtsstunde der Maßgeblich keit der Handelsbilanz für die Steuerbilanz und der Beginn einer nunmehr über 1- jährigen Entwicklung, die durch wechselseitige Einflußnahmen der Rechenwerke und durch immer wieder aufflammende Grundsatzdiskussionen gekennzeichnet ist. Kontrovers wird diskutiert, ob das gegenwärtig zugrundegelegte Rechenwerk "Bilanz" überhaupt ein zweckmäßiges Rechnungslegungsinstrument sei, umstritten ist, ob dieses Rechenwerk gegenüber privaten Rechnungslegungsadressaten und dem Fiskus grundsätzlich gleich oder unterschiedlich zu gestalten sei. Befürworter einer Einheitsbilanz und Verfechter eigenständiger Handels- und Steuerbilanzen stehen sich kaum versöhnbar gegenüber. Auch wenn sich der Gesetzgeber im Rahmen der Rechnungslegungsreform durch das Bilanzrichtliniengesetz 1985 klar für die Bei behaltung des Maßgeblichkeitsprinzips entschieden hat, hat die Diskussion kaum an Schärfe verloren: Die Zukunft des Maßgeblichkeitsprinzips erscheint noch kei nesfalls gesichert.

The Mastermind: Drugs. Empire. Murder. Betrayal.
by Evan Ratliff'A hidden world filled with high-tech gangsters and drug kingpins and double-crossers and stone-cold hitmen. As fascinating as it is terrifying.’David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Lost City of ZThe Mastermind tells the incredible true story of Paul Le Roux, the frighteningly powerful creator of a 21st Century cartel, and the decade-long global manhunt that finally brought his empire to its knees.From its origins as a prescription drug network, supplying hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of painkillers to online customers, Le Roux’s business evolved into a sprawling multinational conglomerate engaged in almost every conceivable aspect of criminal mayhem. Yachts carrying $100 million in cocaine. Safe houses in Hong Kong filled with gold bars. Shipments of methamphetamine from North Korea. Weapons deals with Iran. Mercenary armies in Somalia. Teams of hitmen in the Philippines. All tied together with encryption programs so advanced that government agencies could not break them.Tracing Le Roux’s vast wealth and his shadowy henchmen around the world, award-winning journalist Evan Ratliff spent four years piecing together this intricate network. His investigation reveals a tale of ambition and greed, and exposes a new age of international crime in which a reclusive entrepreneur can thrive, combining the ruthlessness of a drug lord with the technological capabilities of a Silicon Valley firm to build an empire in the shadows of our networked world.The result is a riveting, unprecedented account of the most prolific crime boss built by and for the digital age.
Masters, Servants, and Magistrates in Britain and the Empire, 1562-1955 (Studies in Legal History)
by Douglas Hay and Paul CravenMaster and servant acts, the cornerstone of English employment law for more than four hundred years, gave largely unsupervised, inferior magistrates wide discretion over employment relations, including the power to whip, fine, and imprison men, women, and children for breach of private contracts with their employers. The English model was adopted, modified, and reinvented in more than a thousand colonial statutes and ordinances regulating the recruitment, retention, and discipline of workers in shops, mines, and factories; on farms, in forests, and on plantations; and at sea. This collection presents the first integrated comparative account of employment law, its enforcement, and its importance throughout the British Empire. Sweeping in its geographic and temporal scope, this volume tests the relationship between enacted law and enforced law in varied settings, with different social and racial structures, different economies, and different constitutional relationships to Britain. Investigations of the enforcement of master and servant law in England, the British Caribbean, India, Africa, Hong Kong, Canada, Australia, and colonial America shed new light on the nature of law and legal institutions, the role of inferior courts in compelling performance, and the definition of "free labor" within a multiracial empire.Contributors:David M.

Mastery, Dependence, and the Ethics of Authority
by Aaron StalnakerOver the last few decades, skepticism about political and moral experts has grown into a serious social problem, undermining the functioning of liberal democratic regimes. Indeed, meritocracy-that is, government by hard working, public-spirited people with high levels of relevant expertise-has never looked so promising as an alternative to the dangers of know-nothing populism. One cultural tradition has devoted sustained attention to the idea of meritocracy, as well as to the cultivation of true expertise or mastery: Confucianism. Mastery, Dependence, and the Ethics of Authority presents a compelling analysis of expertise and authority, and examines classical Confucian conceptions of mastery, dependence, and human relationships in order to suggest new approaches to these issues in ethics and political theory. Contemporary Westerners are heirs to multiple traditions that are suspicious of authority, especially coercive political authority. We are also increasingly wary of dependence, which now often seems to signify weakness, neediness, and pathology. Analysts commonly presume that both authority and dependence threaten human autonomy, and are thus intrinsically problematic. But these judgments are mistaken. Our capacity for autonomy needs to be cultivated over time through deliberate practices of training, in which we depend on the guidance of virtuous and skilled teachers. Confucian thought provides a subtle and powerful analysis of one version of this training process, and of the social supports such an education in autonomy requires-as well as the social value of having virtuous and skilled leaders. Early Confucians also argue that human life is marked by numerous interacting forms of dependence, which are not only ineradicable, but in many ways good. On a Confucian view, it is natural, healthy, and good for people to be deeply dependent on others in a variety of ways across the full human lifespan. They teach us that individual autonomy only develops within a social matrix, structured by relationships of mutual dependence that can either help or hinder it, including a variety of authority relations.
