Wigmore's List. A list of legal novels that the distinguish legal scholar, John H. Wigmore preparedwith lawyers The history of Pendennis (1850). Wouk, Herman (1915 ) http://www.blupete.com/Library/Law/Wigmore.htm
Extractions: John H. Wigmore, in 1941, was represented as being a lecturer of comparative law in Northwestern University. He was the author of a number books, including; Panorama of the World's Legal Systems Science of Judicial Proof and A Kaleidescope of Justice Containing Authentic Accounts of Trial Scenes from all Times and Climes . In 1922, this very learned scholar, Wigmore, submitted an essay to the Illinois Law Review entitled, "A List of one Hundred Legal Novels" (# 17, p. 26). Wigmore prepared this list with lawyers in mind, his thinking being that lawyers could learn much from the great novel writers of the past. Wigmore broke his list down into four categories: (A) Novels in which some trial scene is described - perhaps including a skilful cross-examination;
Rare Books (including Cam ) 5) books of special relevance to Cambridge, eg the history of the University, is almost always claimable by legal deposit and much of the collection is http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/multimediarightrare.htm
Extractions: 25.1 The Rare Books Department purchases books and pamphlets in European languages printed before 1850. (For the purchase of second- hand material after 1850 see section 24.1 .) This range covers periodical publications, often in collected editions, but including, for example, individual early newsbooks and runs of periodical issues. Some purchases contain music (playtexts, opera librettos) and maps (topographical and travel books) but the chief responsibility for antiquarian music rests with the Music Department (see section 14.3.5 ) and for maps and atlases with the Map Room (see section 15.4 ). While all European languages, ancient and modern, are within the remit of the Rare Books Department, the main modern languages predominate. 25.2 The general principle for book selection is that of building on the existing strengths of the Library's collections, thus increasing their already rich research potential. Purchases are concentrated on works of substantial interest not trivia. The range of these collections is very wide but the following categories are of special importance: 1) incunables and post-incunables, i.e. books printed up to 1520. (These tend to be expensive, and hence occasional, purchases.)
Untitled Document The legal protection of citizens right to the freedom of religious belief The broad masses of the people and personages of the religious circles detest http://www.china.org.cn/e-white/Freedom/f-2.htm
Extractions: of Religious Belief Chinese citizens' right to the freedom of religious belief is protected by the Constitution and laws. The Chinese government has promulgated the Regulations on the Administration of Sites for Religious Activities so as to protect the lawful rights and interests of such sites. The Regulations specify: Sites for religious activities shall be run independently by the administrative organizations thereof, whose lawful rights and interests and normal religious activities at the sites shall be protected by law. No organization or individual may violate or interfere with such rights, interests or activities. Anyone who encroaches on the lawful rights and interests of the sites for religious activities shall bear legal responsibilities. Religious activities conducted at the sites, however, must conform to laws and regulations. Each country has its own history, culture and national conditions, which decide that each country's protection of freedom of religious belief has its own characteristics. While stressing the protection of freedom of religious belief China pays equal attention to the protection of the freedom not to believe in religion, thus ensuring freedom of religious belief in a complete sense. This is a more complete and more comprehensive protection of citizens' basic rights.
Extractions: 1. Nature of CPPCC The CPPCC is an organization of the united front with wide representation.

Altogether, 662 representatives, including those of the Communist Party of China (CPC), democratic parties, mass organizations, various localities, the People's Liberation Army, ethnic minorities, overseas Chinese and religious groups, attended the session.

Books In Review: Briefly Noted The question that legal scholars face is whether there is any philosophical Good, concise articles on various wars, battles, and military personages, http://www.leaderu.com/ftissues/ft9704/reviews/briefly.html
Extractions: Briefly Noted Contents of Briefly Noted: The Lord. By Romano Guardini. Translated by Elinor Castendyk Briefs. Regnery. 629 pp. $14.95 paper. selbstherrlich Ratschluss ; "the complete nullity" for die vollige Belanglosigkeit of "the historical Jesus"). But those who agree that we live in apocalyptic times of war and loneliness will find much here on which to pray. - James J. Buckley The Battle for Christmas . By Stephen Nissenbaum. Knopf. 381 pp. $30. Not much escapes the scrutiny of this University of Massachusetts history professor. From the origins of the interior Christmas tree (no, the Hessians did not bring it to America from Germany during the Revolutionary War) to the message of Clement Moore's poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (yes, there is meaning behind St. Nick's placing his finger "aside of his nose") to an intriguing interpretation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol , Nissenbaum shows how in the nineteenth century there emerged the tradition that is now, more or less, our way of observing Christmas. Concentrating largely on America, he examines in minute detail the transformation of Christmas from a rather unruly winter carnival to a quiet, domestic, and child-centered event. At times the detail can be numbing, but Nissenbaum keeps the narrative flowing with a minimum of academic vocabulary. Though the epilogue indulges an odd thesis about acceptance of Santa Claus and Christmas trees serving to protect nineteenth-century children from grasping the connection between family life and the commercial economy, the book remains a good reference volume for all those who enjoy learning how we came to do the things we do.
