A poorly trained, seventy-five-year-old driver illegally parked his big-rig tractor-trailer on the side of the highway. On a pitch black November morning, a family SUV slammed into and under the rear of the parked truck. The father/driver and one son, sitting behind him, were killed on impact. Two other young children exited through a rear window.The mother was trapped in the front passenger seat, and a fire began under the hood of the car. The two surviving children alternately tried to extricate their mother and tried to flag down passing vehicles. Their mother was slowly incinerated as she called her son to help her.The defendant trucking company refused to pay the paltry One Million Dollar policy, forcing a trial. Attorney Brian Brandt took on the case.Brandt went to trial, representing Kylie, the nine-year-old sole survivor, as well as the interests of Blaine, the other original survivor. The jury awarded One-Hundred-Forty Million Dollars, plus interest and costs. It was and remains the largest wrongful-death verdict amount in the history of California. The case was not over, however, as the trial judge made a stunning decision, leaving much more to be told.

"Admirably clear, concise, down-to-earth, and powerful-all too often, legal writing embodies none of these qualities. Its reputation for obscurity and needless legalese is widespread. Since 2001, Bryan A. Garner's Legal Writing in Plain English has helped address this problem by providing lawyers, judges, paralegals, law students, and legal scholars with sound advice and practical tools for improving their written work. Now the leading guide to clear writing in the field, this indispensable volume encourages legal writers to challenge conventions and offers valuable insights into the writing process: how to organize ideas, create and refine prose, and improve editing skills. Accessible and witty, Legal Writing in Plain English draws on real-life writing samples that Garner has gathered through decades of teaching experience. Trenchant advice covers all types of legal materials, from analytical and persuasive writing to legal drafting, and the book's principles are reinforced by sets of basic, intermediate, and advanced exercises in each section. For this third edition, Garner has retained the structure of the previous versions, with updates and new material throughout. There are new sections on making your writing vivid and concrete and on using graphics to enhance your argument. The coverage and examples of key topics such as achieving parallelism, avoiding legalese, writing effective openers and summaries, and weaving quotations into your text have also been expanded. And the sample legal documents and exercises have been updated, while newly added checklists provide quick summaries of each section. Altogether, this new edition will be the most useful yet for legal professionals and students seeking to improve their prose"--

The removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families gained national attention in Australia following the Bringing Them Home Report in 1997. However, the voices of Indigenous parents were largely missing from the Report. The Inquiry attributed their lack of testimony to the impact of trauma and the silencing impact of parents' overwhelming sense of guilt and despair; a submission by Link-Up NSW commented on Aboriginal mothers being ';unwilling and unable to speak about the immense pain, grief and anguish that losing their children had caused them.'This book explores what happened to Aboriginal mothers who had children removed and why they have overwhelmingly remained silent about their experiences. Identifying the structural barriers to Aboriginal mothering in the Stolen Generations era, the author examines how contemporary laws, policies and practices increased the likelihood of Aboriginal child removal and argues that negative perceptions of Aboriginal mothering underpinned removal processes, with tragic consequences. This book makes an important contribution to understanding the history of the Stolen Generations and highlights the importance of designing inclusive truth-telling processes that enable a diversity of perspectives to be shared.
