Fundamentals and Decision Points: An Empowered Approach to Legal Writing
by Doron Samuel-SiegelThis concise text frames legal writing as a process built around a set of predictable, principle-driven decision points. It empowers students to navigate those decision points with confidence because, rather than treating memos, briefs, and letters as skillsets unto themselves, it teaches a consistent process applicable to all documents students are likely to face throughout their careers. <P><P>Centering both traditional and critical approaches, as well as intercultural communication skills, the book helps students learn the fundamentals of deductive reasoning and CREAC, while also introducing analytical and rhetorical tools for when existing laws or conventions are likely to produce injustice. Three foundational chapters describe step-by-step processes for conducting legal analysis, legal writing, and legal citation, respectively. The remaining chapters equip students to practice applying the fundamental processes to common settings such as predictive writing for law-trained audiences (memos, letters, and emails); oral presentations; advisory writing for lay clients; and persuasive writing to opposing parties and decision-makers. Finally, the Appendix provides robustly annotated examples including a legal memorandum, an executive summary email, a letter to a lay client, and a trial court brief.
Fundamentals of Board Busyness and Corporate Governance (Contributions to Management Science)
by Vu Quang TrinhThis book delivers the essential concepts and theoretical perspectives of corporate governance and board busyness. It uses the unique context of a dual banking system to capture the potential effects of such aspects on corporate outcomes. Board busyness refers to a board with a substantial proportion of “busy” members who hold multiple directorships. In most cases, directors are “over-boarded,” which means that they hold an excessive number of seats across different boards. The busyness of individuals is gauged to infer their monitoring and recommending abilities through their involvement, efforts, knowledge, skills, and experience, and hence, their behaviour in financial contexts. Yet an assessment of board busyness and its effects is challenging and inconclusive concerning the two opposing arguments surrounding this board attribute: reputation and busyness. The book is the first to thoroughly discuss this up-to-date concept within the dual banking system, and it is designed to help new researchers in this field and students boost their research and academic careers.
