Contributor, In Collective Wisdom: When To Impeach With An Inconsistent Statement, H. Scott Fingerhut
Contributor, In Collective Wisdom: When To Impeach With An Inconsistent Statement, H. Scott Fingerhut
Faculty Books
In that trial is competitive storyshowing in context, H.T. Smith, Director of FIU’s Trial Advocacy Program, rightly insists that the trial lawyer necessarily filters most every advocacy decision through the prism of “it depends,” including when on cross-examination to impeach a witness with a prior inconsistent statement. Whether the prior statement helps you, hurts you, or, albeit inconsistent, does neither, the when question takes these factors into consideration: • Significance―the contrast between the statements • Materiality―the importance of the impeachment to your case • Timing―when you learn of the impeachment opportunity Do the math.

Dusty Order: Law Enforcement And Participant Cooperation At Burning Man, Manuel A. Gomez
Dusty Order: Law Enforcement And Participant Cooperation At Burning Man, Manuel A. Gomez
Faculty Books
Media depictions of Burning Man focus on the picturesque and eccentric appearance of the weeklong affair. The event is sometimes misportrayed as a lawless environment where participants are encouraged to engage in rowdy behavior. Most carnivalesque events offer an escape from reality and are generally thought to enable unruly conduct. Despite stereotypes, Burning Man is a different beast. Not only is the crime rate in Black Rock City lower than any other city of comparable size, but Burners show a high level of cooperative and law abiding behavior that helps maintain the social order without depending on official means of …

The Rise Of Risk-Based Regulatory Capital: Liquidity And Solvency Standards For Financial Intermediaries, Jose Gabilondo
The Rise Of Risk-Based Regulatory Capital: Liquidity And Solvency Standards For Financial Intermediaries, Jose Gabilondo
Faculty Books
In a capitalist economy, a private firm seeking finance must negotiate with prospective investors in the open market, which establishes standards about the terms on which debt and equity investment will be forthcoming. In addition to these market-financing standards, the capital structure of some financial firms—particularly broker-dealers, federally insured depository institutions, and insurance companies—must satisfy other requirements imposed by federal or state regulators to promote liquidity and solvency. Regulators take a heightened interest in these firms because they serve a public function in providing credit and other financial services. To grasp what regulatory capital rules try to accomplish, the reader …

Florida's First Constitution, M C. Mirow
Florida's First Constitution, M C. Mirow
Faculty Books
The central square of St. Augustine, Florida, the Plaza de la Constitución, is not named for the United States Constitution. Instead, its name comes from Florida’s first constitution, the Spanish Constitution of Cádiz of 1812. Daily political life in Florida’s Spanish colonial cities was governed by this document, and cities like St. Augustine ordered their activities around the requirements, rights, and duties expressed in this constitution. The Constitution of Cádiz was the first truly transatlantic constitution because it applied to the entire Spanish empire, of which St. Augustine and Pensacola were just a part. It was drafted by representatives from …

Le Code Napoleón Régit-Il Toujours L’Amérique Latine D’Outre-Tombe?, Matthew C. Mirow
Le Code Napoleón Régit-Il Toujours L’Amérique Latine D’Outre-Tombe?, Matthew C. Mirow
Faculty Books
A l'occasion de réunions internationales, il est commun de voir des juristes de pays différents échanger des plaisanteries douteuses sur leurs systemes juridiques et la pratique judiciaire. Lorsqu'ils se trouvent aux Etats-Unis, les juristes d' Amérique Latine se plaisent à informer leurs interlocuteurs que leur systéme est toujours basé sur la codification napoléonienne. Une telle remarque ne fera pas le méme effet sur un juriste des Etats-Unis que sur un juriste européen. Elle masque à peine l'affirmation d'une égalité historique et culturelle, voire d'un sentiment de supériorité a l'égard de la tradition juridique anglo-américaine fondée sur la common law. Evidemment, …
