For proven guidance and techniques for handling a commercial real estate deal, this practical guide will help you negotiate and close the deal. The authors cover each step of a real estate transaction in the order in which it generally arises, and offers pertinent advice, practice comments, and sample forms throughout. Because much of the real estate lawyer's practice revolves around transactional documents, the book's chapters emphasize the drafting, negotiation, and revision needed to get a deal closed. Written by a law professor and two real estate practitioners, this book offers a useful combination of text overview and practice pointers. It helps lawyers with less experience navigate through the maze of steps involved in a real estate transaction. At the same time, it serves as a valuable reference for more seasoned attorneys as well as those whose practice is concentrated in other areas of the law. Downloadable forms are available online.

By re-writing US Supreme Court opinions that implicate critical dimensions of racial justice, Critical Race Judgments demonstrates that it's possible to be judge and a critical race theorist. Specific issues covered in these cases include the death penalty, employment, voting, policing, education, the environment, justice, housing, immigration, sexual orientation, segregation, and mass incarceration. While some rewritten cases – Plessy v. Ferguson (which constitutionalized Jim Crow) and Korematsu v. United States (which constitutionalized internment) – originally focused on race, many of the rewritten opinions – Lawrence v. Texas (which constitutionalized sodomy laws) and Roe v. Wade (which constitutionalized a woman's right to choose) – are used to incorporate racial justice principles in novel and important ways. This work is essential for everyone who needs to understand why critical race theory must be deployed in constitutional law to uphold and advance racial justice principles that are foundational to US democracy.
