This Edition of Federal Courts in the 21st Century is leaner, with tighter focus on the areas usually covered in upperclass courses on Federal Courts or Federal Jurisdiction.
This edition, like its predecessors, builds on the traditional model of the Federal Courts course but also emphasizes giving students the grounding they need to be effective litigators in both state and federal courts.
This book identifies and explores the major problems now under discussion in law school courses typically denominated “Federal Courts” or “Federal Jurisdiction.
The third edition of Federal Habeas Corpus: Cases and Materials includes ongoing legal developments under the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) and addresses systemic failures at the intersection of death penalty, race, and habeas corpus. The casebook also covers the basics of habeas corpus jurisprudence and explores its history, from the origins of "the great writ" up through current AEDPA-driven jurisprudence.
In this well-rounded and student-friendly casebook, theory and policy discussions are threaded throughout the text material, which provides the basis for dealing with the problems and questions that now appear at the end of the section or subsection to which they relate.

Federal Income Taxation of Trusts and Estates: Cases, Problems, and Materials examines the income taxation of estates and trusts, estate and trust beneficiaries, and trust settlors; its emphasis is on the provisions of "Subchapter J"— the relevant portion of the Internal Revenue Code (sections 641 through 692)—and its first priority is to give readers an understanding of those provisions and how they work.
This sweeping exploration in eight richly illustrated parts meticulously traces the antebellum development and performance of the federal judiciary across five judicial districts and, until 1842, three separate circuits within the bounds of the modern but historic U. S. Fourth Circuit (Maryland, Virginia-West Virginia, and the Carolinas).
Federal Law Enforcement: A Primer serves to fill a gap in criminal justice literature by examining federal law enforcement from both historical and contemporary perspectives.
