Abstract

1. CCH Estate Planning Review. Sidney Kess, ed. Chicago, Commerce Clearing House, 1974. Loose‐leaf newsletter. (monthly) $48.00/ yr. This is a succinct and practical service of interest to laymen as well as lawyers, accountants and estate planners. It is essentially an alerting service with reference to changing interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code. The format is eye‐appealing and legible. Practical features are the checklists, forms and questionnaires. The eight issues which have appeared to date are of consistently high quality. The editor is a recognized expert in taxation. Librarians may desire to investigate the possibility of obtaining similar newsletters from trust departments of local banks on a complimentary basis or at a nominal cost.

Abstract

1. Brakel, Samuel J. Judicare. Public Funds, Private Lawyers and Poor People. Chicago, American Bar Foundation, 1974. 145pp. S7.50. For the past several years, the most important objective of the American Bar Association has been to render legal services more accessible to the needy. Two systems designed to accomplish that objective are legal aid societies and Judicare, a federally‐funded plan for utilizing private attorneys, already in practice, to deliver legal services to the poor. Samuel J. Brakel's earlier publication, Wisconsin Judicare: A Preliminary Appraisal, published by the American Bar Foundation in 1972, introduced the earliest model of Judicare. In his 1974 study, he prsented a fuller and more critical view of the Wisconsin model and a comparison with the Montana and Upper Michigan's Judicare programs. Valuable features of this booklet are its demographic studies, budget tables, eligibility criteria and fee schedules Since publication of this work, the Congress has created the Legal Services Corporation to provide legal assistance to the poor in non‐criminal proceedings. The Corporation has evidently replaced the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare as a funding source for legal aid programs of all sorts.

Abstract

“Support a lawyer. go to med school” The above message on the car bumper stickers of members of the medical profession reflects their reaction to the current escalation of malpractice suits filed by attorneys against doctors and hospitals. The impact of these suits against medical personnel and institutions is not limited to patients, doctors and lawyers; the ripple‐effect reaches the entire community, because the rising incidence of malpractice suits tends to increase the cost of malpractice insurance and ultimately the total cost of health care to all members of society. Malpractice is but a small, though highly visible, part of a broader spectrum of interaction between medicine and law. “The complexities of modern society are causing law and medicine to interface with increasing frequency to the extent that contact with the legal process has become an inescapable aspect of the physician's life.” In recognition of this increasing frequency of contacts between medicine and law, a correspondingly increasing number of medicolegal reference works have been published, as exemplified by the selective list which follows this introduction. These should be of direct interest to doctors and members of allied health professions, to attorneys and paralegals and, indirectly, to all who deal with medical personnel and institutions. Traditionally, attorneys, particularly members of the trial bar, have demonstrated a continuing interest in medical literature. For example, the Merck Manual and Goldstein's Medical Trial Technique are familiar to most trial lawyers. They are expected to be well acquainted with anatomy charts, texts on internal medicine, eye, ear, nose and throat, orthopedics, obstetrics, and pediatrics, to name but a few generic medical works of interest to trial lawyers. It should be noted that the lawyer's interest in medical literature is not necessarily motivated by a desire to harass doctors, nurses and hospitals. Attorneys are bound by their Code of Professional Responsibility to represent their clients competently and zealously. In discharging this ethical obligation, the attorney frequently calls upon a physician to testify as an expert witness concerning the cause of a personal injury or death. Consequently, the attorney should be knowledgeable in medical theory and terminology. Furthermore, in pursuit of interdisciplinary competence, a significant number of individuals in the United States have earned both the medical degree and the law degree and appropriate licenses to practice, e.g., Cyril Wecht, M.D., J.D., Director, Pittsburgh Institute of Legal Medicine, Duquesne Law School, member, Faculty of the Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Dentistry, Coroner, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

Abstract

Legal reference has gone public. Ten years ago, tables of cases, Supreme Court digests and legal encyclopedias were confined to an esoteric circle of law libraries. Today, in the wake of activism, consumerism and sunshine laws, the public at large has demanded and received legal reference tools hither‐to unheard of in the public libraries and general academic collections.

Abstract

This index accompanies the index that appeared in Reference Services Review 16:4 (1988). As noted in the introduction to that index, the articles in RSR that deal with specific reference titles can be grouped into two categories: those that review specific titles (to a maximum of three) and those that review titles pertinent to a specific subject or discipline. The index in RSR 16:4 covered the first category; it indexed, by title, all titles that had been reviewed in the “Reference Serials” and the “Landmarks of Reference” columns, as well as selected titles from the “Indexes and Indexers,” “Government Publications,” and “Special Feature” columns of the journal.

Abstract

Donna L. Van Raaphorst provides a detailed statistical analysis of a large sample of Alcatraz Prison inmates using the Social Science Statistical Package. The data, drawn directly from the inmate files, is compared whenever possible with similar data provided by the Bureau of Prisons in order to determine if Alcatraz, often regarded as America's Devil's Island, really incarcerated the so-called “Worst of the Worst” in its time. The results would seem to indicate that Alcatraz inmates were, in fact, not remarkably different from those in any other Federal prison in the system.

Abstract

This book comprises the second volume in the recently launched New Horizons in Managerial and Organizational Cognition book series. Volume 1 (Sund, Galavan, & Huff, 2016), addressed the topic of strategic uncertainty. This second volume comprises a collection of contributions that variously report new methodological developments in managerial and organizational cognition, reflect critically on those developments, and consider the challenges that have yet to be confronted in order to further advance this exciting and dynamic interdisciplinary field. Contextualizing within an overarching framework the various contributions selected for inclusion in the present volume, in this opening chapter we reflect more broadly on what we consider the most significant developments that have occurred over recent years and the most significant challenges that lie ahead.
