Nova Science Publishers Inc Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act: Overview &
Book SynopsisThe Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), 50 U.S.C. 1801 et seq., as passed in 1978, provided a statutory framework for the use of electronic surveillance in the context of foreign intelligence gathering. In so doing, Congress sought to strike a delicate balance between national security interests and personal privacy rights. Subsequent legislation expanded federal laws dealing with foreign intelligence gathering to address physical searches, pen registers and trap and trace devices, and access to certain business records. The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, P.L. 107-56, made significant changes to some of these provisions. Further amendments were included in the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002, P.L. 107-108, and the Homeland Security Act of 2002, P.L. 107-296, the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act, P.L. 108-458, the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005, P.L. 109-177, and the USA PATRIOT Act Additional Reauthorizing Amendments Act of 2006, P.L. 109- 178. In addressing international terrorism or espionage, the same factual situation may be the focus of both criminal investigations and foreign intelligence collection efforts. Some of the changes in FISA under these public laws are intended, in part, to facilitate information sharing between law enforcement and intelligence elements. In its Final Report, the 9/11 Commission noted that the removal of the pre-9/11 "wall" between intelligence and law enforcement "has opened up new opportunities for co-operative action within the FBI." P.L. 110-55 limits the construction of the term "electronic surveillance" so that it does not cover surveillance directed at a person reasonably believed to be located outside the United States. It also creates a mechanism for acquisition, without a court order under a certification by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the Attorney General, of foreign intelligence information concerning a person reasonably believed to be outside the United States. The Protect America Act provides for review by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) of the procedures by which the DNI and the Attorney General determine that such acquisitions do not constitute electronic surveillance. In addition, P.L. 110-55 authorises the Attorney General and the DNI to direct a person with access to the communications involved to furnish aid to the government to facilitate such acquisitions, and provides a means by which the legality of such a directive may be reviewed by the FISC petition review pool. A decision by a judge of the FISC petition review pool may be appealed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, and review by the U.S. Supreme Court may be sought by petition for writ of certiorari.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Programmer-Distributor Negotiations:
Book SynopsisWhen conflicts arise between a programmer (a broadcaster or a cable network owner) and a multi-channel video programming distributor (MVPD, usually a cable or satellite operator) about the carriage of particular video programming, the price for that programming, or the tier on which the programming is to be offered to the end user, many consumers can be affected. Recently there have been several incidents in which a negotiating impasse between a programmer and a distributor has resulted in the programmer refusing to allow the MVPD to carry, or the MVPD choosing not to carry, a program network. While contractual terms, conditions, and rates are determined by private negotiations, they are strongly affected by a number of federal statutory provisions and regulatory requirements, including the statutory retransmission consent and must-carry rules, the FCC program exclusivity rules, local-into-local and distant signal provisions in satellite laws, copyright law provisions relating to cable and satellite, statutory commercial leased access requirements and program carriage and non-discriminatory access provisions, and the FCC''s media ownership rules. The recent increase in negotiating impasses appears to be the result of structural market changes that have given programmers with "must-have" programming much greater leverage, particularly when they are negotiating with small distributors. Competitive entry in distribution -- almost all cable companies now face competition from two satellite companies, and are beginning to face competition from telephone companies -- has emboldened programmers with popular programming to demand cash payment from distributors for the right to carry that programming. In particular, local broadcasters increasingly are using the statutory retransmission consent requirement to demand cash payment from small cable companies who could lose subscribers to the satellite providers and new telephone entrants if they reach an impasse with the broadcaster and can no longer carry the local broadcast signals. In the past, the cable companies were the only MVPD in a market and could use that countervailing power to refuse to pay cash for carriage. Thus, ironically, competition in the distribution market may be resulting in higher programming costs that MVPDs may have to pass on to their subscribers. The small cable companies have argued that some of the existing statutory and regulatory requirements were implemented at a time when cable was a monopoly and were intended to protect broadcasters. Now that the market dynamics have changed, they argue, some of these rules should be changed to allow for more even-handed negotiations. At the same time, however, as a result of consolidation and clustering in the cable industry there are a few very large cable companies, which primarily serve major markets, as well as the two national satellite operators, that appear to have sufficient market strength to be able to withstand many of the demands of the programmers with must-have programming and to place small independent programmers at a negotiating disadvantage.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Detention of American Citizens as Enemy
Book SynopsisThis book analyses the authority to detain American citizens who are suspected of being members, agents, or associates of Al Qaeda, the Taliban and possibly other terrorist organisations as "enemy combatants." The Department of Justice cites two World War II era cases, Ex parte Quirin and In re Territo, to support its contention that the President may order that certain U.S. citizens as well as non-citizens be held as enemy combatants pursuant to the law of war and Article II of the Constitution. Critics, however, question the assertion of executive authority to detain U.S. citizens, without ordinary due process of law, in order to prevent terrorist acts or gather intelligence; and some argue that Congress has prohibited such detention of U.S. citizens when it enacted 18 U.S.C. 4001. While the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed with the Bush Administration that Congress authorised such detentions in its authorisation for the President to use force against those he determines are responsible for the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, the Second Circuit recently held that Congress has not authorised such detentions.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Nuclear Regulation in the U.S: A Short History
Book SynopsisThe U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), created by Congress, began operating in 1975. Its mission is to regulate commercial and institutional uses of nuclear materials, including nuclear power plants. The nuclear industry is strictly regulated because radioactive materials are potentially hazardous. The NRC protects the public by setting limits on radiation exposure from the radioactive materials it licenses and requires those with licenses who use such materials to take steps to keep exposures well below the limits. This book examines the history of nuclear regulation from 1946-2009 and the NRC as an independent regulator of nuclear safety.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Charitable Giving & Taxes: Benefits, Changes &
Book SynopsisPrior to the financial crisis and subsequent recession, the value of tax benefits for charitable contributions and organizations was estimated to be around $100 billion per year. About half of this cost arose from the deductions for charitable contributions with the other half from exemptions of earnings of non-profits. In 2010, the deduction for charitable contributions results in an estimated $40 billion in federal revenue losses. On average, endowment investments in 2009 experienced losses, meaning that the federal government did not lose revenues from exempting asset returns from taxation. This book provides an overview of recent changes affecting tax-exempt and charitable organizations, while also discussing issues that may be of legislative interest in the future.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Export Controls: Balancing U.S. Competitiveness
Book SynopsisThe United States restricts the export of defense items or munitions, certain nuclear materials and technology and items that would assist in the development of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons or the missile technology used to deliver them. U.S. export controls are also used to restrict exports to certain countries on which the United States imposes economic sanctions, such as Cuba, Iran and Syria, and also controls certain exports in adherence to several multilateral non-proliferation control regimes. This book examines the U.S. export control system and the various aspects that have long been criticised by exporters, non-proliferation advocates and other stakeholders as being too rigorous, insufficiently rigorous, obsolete, inefficient or any combination of these descriptions.

American Bar Association Lemon Law: Cars in the Courtroom
Book SynopsisEvery state in the country has enacted consumer-protection legislation known as a lemon laws to assist new vehicle buyers with either recurring mechanical problems (commonly referred to as “warranty nonconformities”) in spite of attempts by manufacturers and dealers to repair them, or situations where the defects have caused the vehicle to be out of service for a long period of time. As straightforward as lemon laws appear, a surprising number of very interesting—and sometimes complex—legal issues arise, leading to a substantial amount of litigation (numerous firms around the country specialize exclusively in lemon law cases). Such thorny legal issues include: Is substantial impairment of the defective vehicle “to the consumer” to be judged as an objective test or a subjective one? Must the consumer be completely unaware of the nonconformity before accepting delivery of the vehicle? How specific must the consumer be in notifying the manufacturer or dealer of the consumer’s selection of the remedy to either replace or buy back the defective vehicle? Must all accessories of a vehicle replaced pursuant to the lemon law also be brand new, even if not defective? Can the consumer be required to sign a general release in order to receive the remedies afforded by the lemon law? Do negotiations between the consumer and the manufacturer or dealer toll the time in which the manufacturer must replace or buy back the defective vehicle? Is the manufacturer or dealer allowed more time to replace or buy back the defective vehicle if the consumer is engaged in obstructive tactics? Where is the line between personal and business use of the vehicle which makes the vehicle ineligible for lemon law enforcement? Are leased vehicles covered under lemon laws, and if so, how is the transfer of the vehicle’s title handled? Do lemon laws apply to demonstrators, motor homes, and motorcycles? Each chapter is preceded by “practice tips,” and the text is organized logically to follow the progression and development of litigation claims.

Book SynopsisCovenants against Competition in Franchise Agreements, Fourth Edition provides a comparative analysis of this critical topic in the franchise context throughout North America.

What time limitations have courts recognized as reasonable in the franchise context? What geographic limitations have courts recognized as reasonable? What limitations on activities have courts recognized as reasonable in the franchise context? Does the jurisdiction recognize a difference between in-term and post-term covenants? Has the state allowed enforcement of covenants against non-signatories? Will the jurisdiction modify, 'blue pencil' or otherwise reduce a covenant found to be overbroad? When does a non-compete period begin to run? Are there additional nuances or peculiarities of the jursidiction's treatment of covenants in the franchising context?

American Bar Association Estate Planning for the Muslim Client
Book SynopsisPlanning a client's estate can involve more than just the transfer of wealth from one generation to the next.

American Bar Association The Internet of Things (IoT): Legal Issues,
Book SynopsisThe Internet of Things encompasses the ability to connect and direct almost any kind of mechanical system, whether it's automotive, medical, residential, or critical infrastructure. IoT technologies hold tremendous promise for our communities by making them safer and more efficient. As with any other technology, they also entail security risk, and the risks associated with IoT technologies must be aggressively managed. We can do so, with industry’s help, by working to leverage standards and liability and insurance mechanisms to ensure that IoT's foundational building blocks are secure and effective. Increasingly, utilities are deploying smart grid technologies, wirelessly connecting thermostats to the utility to measure usage patterns and allow energy supplies to be adjusted, with precision based on need. Companies are working on clocks, kitchen appliances, and other household products that monitor consumer behavior to turn on your coffee machine moments before you wake up; warn you when you are low on supplies; order groceries for the week; and allow you to remotely operate your locks and lights so you need not be home to admit a visitor, or to check that your residence is secure. Regulating these various systems via network connectivity can add convenience and save money, but doing so can also arm malicious actors with an unprecedented ability to create chaos. The issues that the book addresses include the use of IoT technology in connected cars, health tech, and unmanned aerial vehicles (aka drones); IoT and technological developments such as 5G and blockchain; the current state of laws and regulations relating to the IoT both in the United States and globally; risks associated with IoT devices, including security and privacy issues; how state attorneys general protect consumers in the IoT era; the impact of the IoT on intellectual property and insurance; guidelines for employers, including corporate counsel, regarding the IoT in the workplace; and the future of the IoT from the perspective of an MIT research scientist.

American Bar Association The Supreme Court, Federal and State Taxation,
Book SynopsisThe Supreme Court, Federal and State Taxation, and the Constitution is a comprehensive and illuminating look at the intersection of the U.S. Constitution and federal and state taxation going back to the earliest years of the nation. Citing only Supreme Court cases, author Jack Cummings organizes and categorizes the opinions for maximum accessibility by practitioners and others involved in law practice, law-making, and legal scholarship. The book includes, for example, a detailed analysis of the 25 Court cases that ruled a federal tax provision unconstitutional. Another chapter discusses the 121 decisions related to the intergovernmental immunity doctrine.

Another chapter makes clear the confusing intersection of fees, taxes and regulatory charges.The new edition is updated to account for more recent rulings such as United States v. Windsor, Dawson v. Steager, Bond v. United States, and United States v. Davila. But the most notable update in the new edition is the large new chapter on the Court’s state tax decisions under the Constitution, including the remarkable number of them in just the last decade. The author makes this manageable by synthesizing the current principles applied by the Court, with appropriate citations, rather than debating the wisdom of various rulings.A detailed Table of Contents includes more than 200 entries making it easy for readers to find topics and subtopics, and a Table of Cases indexes nearly 2,000 cases cited in the book. Written for appellate litigators, tax litigators, general tax practitioners, and constitutional law experts, this new edition will be invaluable to understanding the Court’s rulings on federal and state taxation.

American Bar Association Construction Defects, Second
Book SynopsisThe first edition of this book was published almost ten years ago to provide a useful guide on construction defect law in the United States. The goal was to provide a useful analytical framework and starting point for research of specific issues confronting practitioners and their clients. The editors of the current edition have endeavored to achieve that same goal here. The three characteristics of the first edition remain unchanged. First, the book is organized to allow the reader to identify a construction defect issue and then follow the trail to meaningful discussion and research in several ways--by type of construction defect, by party, by type of claim, and by theory of liability or defense. Second, it provides guidance in specific areas of concern, such as insurance, limitations defenses, damages, dispute resolution, and preparing and presenting a case. Finally, the authors were selected for their expertise in the subject matters covered by their chapters, as well as for the diversity of the clients they represent. The law on construction defects is dynamic and continually evolving. New statutes and court decisions frequently change the landscape. This book gives the readers a representative sampling of these and many other issues, along with references that will guide them with information about a jurisdiction of interest.
