Careers in Compliance: JDs Wanted
by
Vol. 2 of the 21st Century Legal Career Series focuses on what the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics calls one of the fastest growing occupations. A barrage of new laws, such as the Affordable Care Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, and their implementing regulations, heightened government enforcement, large fines, and other penalties have acted as a compliance wake-up call to affected companies and industries. New laws and more vigorous government enforcement have also upgraded the nature of compliance jobs.

Legislative Foundations of American Consumer Society
by
This book identifies the beginning of mass consumer society in the United States, starting with the New Deal. The New Deal framework of guaranteeing new home purchases by means of low-down payment, fixed-rate home mortgages lasted until the 1970s, at which time the legal framework unraveled due to a sustained attack on New Deal racism. Despite this, American consumerism continued and even flourished without a regulatory structure. This book analyzes seven key pieces of federal legislation which undergird American consumer society to this day.

JD Advantage Jobs in Corporations
by
In Vol. 12 of his 21st Century Legal Career Series, Richard L. Hermann examines in detail the impressive range and growing diversity of JD Advantage jobs in corporations open to individuals with a law degree. As a rule, corporations do not hire new graduates for their in-house counsel offices. What few law students realize is that since the late 1970s, U.S. companies have embarked on an expansion of their legal hiring to include thousands of attorneys who work in JD Advantage positions in corporate offices and roles other than their traditional, mainstream legal offices.

Cuban Privilege
by
In 1991, during George H. W. Bush's Presidency, the U.S. Coast Guard stopped a leaky Haitian fishing boat carrying 161 Haitians and 2 Cubans who the Haitians had picked up in a gesture of brotherhood. Two years later, when Bill Clinton was President, a boat carrying seven Cubans and ten Haitians landed in Florida. All those aboard the boats wanted to come to the land of opportunity. They arrived, however, without U.S.-granted immigration visas. The Immigration and Naturalization Service, nonetheless, admitted the Cubans. In contrast, the Haitians were whisked off to detention facilities. Almost all were repatriated. The Clinton Administration refused to admit the Haitians even though Clinton had promised during his campaign that, if elected, he would end the George H.W. Bush Administration's cruel practice of sending unauthorized Haitians back to a brutal dictatorship. With the support of Haitian voters, Clinton hoped to make President Bush, running for reelection, a one-term president. Clinton succeeded in winning the election, but even before taking office he announced that he would continue to enforce Bush's Haitian repatriation policy. How could the Presidents treat Cubans and Haitians so differently?

A Guide to Help Lawyers, Law Students, and Business Professionals Develop Cross-Cultural Competence
by
A key part of being a lawyer or business professional is the ability to deal with others. Part of this ability is the recognition that the people you will deal with come from many different cultures and backgrounds. We are all human, but there is a great deal of variation among humans. While cross-cultural competence has been an essential part of medical education and business for years, it is not usually part of legal education. However, it is essential to attorney competence, and it can give practitioners a competitive edge.

How to Be a Woman Online
by
When Nina Jankowicz's first book on online disinformation was profiled in The New Yorker last year, she expected attention but not an avalanche of abuse and harassment, predominantly from men, online. All women in politics, journalism and academia now face untold levels of harassment and abuse in online spaces. Together with the world's leading extremism researchers, Jankowicz wrote one of the definitive reports on this troubling phenomenon. Drawing on rigorous research into the treatment of Kamala Harris - the first woman vice-president - and other political and public figures, Nina also uses on her own experiences to provide a step-by-step plan for dealing with harassment, abuse, doxing and disinformation in online spaces. The result is a must-read for researchers, journalists and all women with a profile in the online space.

No Equal Justice
by
"There is no equal justice for Black people today; there never has been. To our everlasting shame, the quality of justice in America has always been and is now directly related to the color of one's skin as well as to the size of one's pocketbook." This quote comes from George W. Crockett Jr.'s essay, A Black Judge Speaks (Judicature, 1970). The stories of Black lawyers and judges are rarely told. By sharing Crockett's life of principled courage, No Equal Justice breaks this silence.

Drawing on interviews, ethnography, and archival research, Melissa Aronczyk and Maria I. Espinoza offer an original account of the promotional agents who have influenced public perception of the environment since the beginning of the twentieth century, revealing how professional communicators affect how we think about public knowledge and who can legitimately produce it.

In the past 30 years, rapidly changing social norms and dramatic technological advances have revolutionized family law. As more attorneys enter the field and the practice becomes more complex, demand increases for lawyers with greater family law expertise. It is the nature of the family served by the law—and the opportunity it presents in terms of millions of potential new clients requiring family law services—more than the nature of the practice itself that has changed.

Insurance Careers for Attorneys
by
In Vol. 11 of his 21st Century Legal Career Series, Richard L. Hermann shines a spotlight on a rich environment for law jobs. To say that insurance is booming is a decided understatement.

In fact, the demand for attorneys to fill these latter positions is high and becoming more intense, as employers discover that JDs who serve in these capacities bring both a strong skill set and dogged work ethic, as well as excellent judgment to their jobs.

Tricks of the Trade (and Professional) Associations
by

You can find these attorneys in places other than just the in-house counsel office; and 4. They are corporations.

A Guide to Help Lawyers, Law Students, and Business Professionals Develop Cross-Cultural Competence
by
A key part of being a lawyer or business professional is the ability to deal with others. Part of this ability is the recognition that the people you will deal with come from many different cultures and backgrounds. We are all human, but there is a great deal of variation among humans. While cross-cultural competence has been an essential part of medical education and business for years, it is not usually part of legal education. However, it is essential to attorney competence, and it can give practitioners a competitive edge.

No Equal Justice
by
"There is no equal justice for Black people today; there never has been. To our everlasting shame, the quality of justice in America has always been and is now directly related to the color of one's skin as well as to the size of one's pocketbook." This quote comes from George W. Crockett Jr.'s essay, A Black Judge Speaks (Judicature, 1970). The stories of Black lawyers and judges are rarely told. By sharing Crockett's life of principled courage, No Equal Justice breaks this silence.
