  When May the Right Be Invoked?, in The Privilege Against Self-Incrimination in Civil Litigation (ABA Section of Antitrust Law, 2001)

  Julie Schwartz

  This book analyzes the application of the constitutional right against self-incrimination to civil litigation. This topic is of growing importance in an era when parallel civil, criminal, and administrative proceedings are becoming increasingly common and practitioners must necessarily consider all of the implications of a witness' decision to invoke, or not invoke, the right against self-incrimination. These decisions have always been, and remain, important in familiar areas of litigation such as antitrust, RICO, and securities. However, with the continued growth of regulatory structures that allow for civil, criminal, and administrative liability-often for essentially the same conduct-and the proliferation of civil forfeiture proceedings that can precede, accompany, or follow a criminal prosecution, the importance of these decisions continues to increase. Counsel for parties and nonparty witnesses must continually grapple with decisions whether to advise individuals to invoke their right against self-incrimination, and counsel for organizations must understand the implications of those invocations for their clients as well.

  A Personal Account of a Struggle to Be Evenhanded in Teaching About Abortion, in Advocacy in the Classroom: Problems and Possibilities (Patricia Meyer Spacks ed., 1996)

  Samuel W. Calhoun

  In this collection of essays that originated at a conference sponsored by a group of national academic organizations, the issue of pedagogical advocacy, as well as authority in the classroom, is addressed from a wide range of opinion and practice by 42 graduate and undergraduate professors (and one secondary school teacher). Because the issue involves questions of academic freedom, political correctness and cultural diversity, there are fundamental disagreements as well as large areas of convergence among the contributors here. Viewpoints range from Gertrude Himmelfarb's wariness about postmodernism and its "denial that there is any such thing as knowledge, truth, reason, or objectivity" to Louis Menand's arguing for pedagogical passion that "must always characterize the good teacher." This well-organized, provocatively diverse collection should promote dialogue and discussion among academics.

  Resolving Libel Disputes Out of Court: The Libel Dispute Resolution Program, in Reforming Libel Law (John Soloski & Randall P. Bezanson eds., 1992)

  Brian C. Murchison

  Current libel law in the U.S. has proven problematic for plaintiffs and media alike. From the plaintiff's perspective, the law seems frustrating and unfair, providing little opportunity to repair reputations; from the media standpoint, the high cost of litigation threatens to deter journalistic pursuit of controversial stories. Over the last decade, these problems have led legal scholars to propose comprehensive reforms. Some of these proposals have been available to the limited readership of law reviews, while others were published only in abbreviated form-- have been the subject of heated debate. Presenting the most significant of these proposals complete and under one cover this volume makes the issues and controversies surrounding libel law reform accessible to a wide readership for the first time.
