Neuropsychology for Psychologists, Health Care Professionals, and Attorneys, Third Edition
By:"Robert J. Sbordone","Ronald E. Saul","Arnold D. Purisch"
Published on 2007-06-21 by CRC Press

Extensively revised and expanded, this third edition of Neuropsychology for Psychologists, Health Care Professionals, and Attorneys provides a clear, concise, and comprehensive discussion of neuropsychology, outlining its purpose, use, and historical development. It covers the anatomy of the brain, a wide variety of neurobehavioral disorders, comprehensive neuropsychological examinations, ecological validity, and the strengths and limitations of many widely used neuropsychological and diagnostic tests. Maintaining a high degree of detail and sophistication, this book enables an in-depth comprehension of the topic even by those with no prior knowledge in this area. Beginning with a definition and overview of neuropsychology and the role of the neuropsychologist, this third edition expands the section on neuroanatomy to describe subcortical and ganglionic structures, cerebellum and white fiber tracts, and the pathophysiology of neurobehabehavioral disorders. It covers mild and severe traumatic brain injuries, postconcussion syndrome, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), frontal lobe disorders, executive dysfunction, and seizure disorders. The authors introduce new findings on age-related cognitive changes, neuropsychological and physiological correlates of PTSD, Alzheimer's and late onset dementia. New chapters include malingering of neuropsychological deficits and deception, the limitations of neuropsychological tests, and how to critique the interpretation of neuropsychological test data and reports. Emphasizing a systematic approach to neuropsychological testing and assessment, this book evaluates a wide range of neuropsychological and neurodiagnostic tests in terms of their strengths, limitations, validity, and reliability. It critically examines different methods of test scoring and interpretation discussing the ecological validity of neuropsychological testing and the extent to which neuropsychological tests can detect neurobehavioral deficits and brain damage. The author provides numerous illustrative case studies and six sample medico-legal reports along with three appendices offering a glossary of terms, a list of widely prescribed medications, and a quick-reference summary of the tests detailed in the book.

By:"Glenn A. Fine"
Published on 2009-11 by DIANE Publishing

On Dec. 7, 2006, at the direction of senior Dept. of Justice (DoJ) officials, seven U.S. Attorneys (USAt) were told to resign from their positions. Two other USAt had been told to resign earlier in 2006. In 2007, two DoJ offices conducted an invest. into the removals of these USAt. It focused on the reasons for the removals of the USAt and whether they were removed for political purposes, or to influence an invest., or prosecution. The invest. also examined: the process by which the USAt were selected for removal, and sought to identify the persons involved in those decisions; whether the Attorney General made any false statements concerning the removals, and whether they attempted to influence the testimony of other witnesses.

Marketing for Attorneys and Law Firms

Marketing for Attorneys and Law Firms
By:"William Winston"
Published on 2013-04-15 by Routledge

Marketing for Attorneys and Law Firms presents timely topics which are well-researched and written by a fine array of authors from around the country. As attorneys are becoming more interested in marketing and how it can benefit their practices, this book is an important tool. It aids attorneys as they evaluate and improve old marketing strategies and create new marketing strategies where such advertising was neglected. It is an ideal readings text for today’s attorney and legal consultants who wish to obtain a better insight into select aspects of marketing the law firm. This is the only readings book that focuses on these areas: applications of marketing planning, attorney selection by consumers, and client and provider attitudes toward legal services. Part Two thoroughly examines various aspects of how clients select and evaluate the performance of legal services. Today’s attorneys must first fully understand what their clients perceive about their services before jumping into marketing their services. This section provides insight that most attorneys would normally not investigate and lays the groundwork for the development of marketing programs. Part Three addresses the wide use of legal advertising, and again provides insight into what clients and attorneys think and perceive about various forms of advertising the law firm. This provides a base from which attorneys who are planning to advertise may be able to prevent failure and promote a greater level of success for the advertising program. Applied mainly to private legal practices and clinics, some of the specific topics covered in the three sections include consumers’perceptions of attorneys and legal advertising; attorneys’perceptions of marketing and advertising; perceived risk in selecting an attorney and how consumers actually select attorneys; customer/client service attributes for attorneys; measuring the effectiveness of legal advertising; market planning and strategies for today’s legal practice; promoting the legal practice; and developing referral and networking systems in legal practice. For attorneys in private practice, law firm libraries and administrators, law professors who specialize in practice development, consultants who concentrate in legal practice marketing, law school libraries, and marketing professors and consultants who teach or consult in the professional service sectors should read this invaluable reference book.

Best Interest Attorneys in the State of Maryland

Best Interest Attorneys in the State of Maryland
By:"Marsha Russell"
Published on 2014-07-02 by Dorrance Publishing

This book is a labor of love born from adversity. It is the author¿s Master¿s Thesis written as a result of her experiences with the Montgomery County, Maryland legal system and the attorneys who ¿work¿ that system. It is written to provide information to women who face the difficult challenge of having the Maryland legal system micro-manage the rearing of their children via custody, support, and visitation. It is not meant to provide legal advice, but rather to inform women about the law as it relates to child custody/visitation issues and the utilization of the so-called Best Interest Attorney or BIA. Although this treatise was written in 2009, it continues to be relevant today. Having gone through the experience twice, the author has learned that mothers must be aware of the parameters of the BIA`s activities and the possibility that their recommendations may be skewed by racial, sexual or ethnic bias; or even influence from the presiding judge with no recourse available. Presently, there are no laws in place to adequately monitor BIA activities. As a result, too many children are allowed visitation with fathers who the mothers warn are abusive or have mental health issues. Yet time and time again, the court continues to ignore the warnings due to something the author refers to as the ¿Daddy Rule.¿ When the mother raises concerns, she is viewed by the court as being vindictive rather than trying to protect her children.Subsequently, the only possibility for change depends on how quickly advocacy groups form tenacious coalitions to bring about needed change in the domestic relations/family law area of the Maryland judicial system. Such action will take a massive effort, due to the utter entrenchment of the courts in the state¿s flawed legal system ¿ a system which allows manipulation by the fathers to the detriment of the children and the anguish of the mothers.

Attorneys' and Jurors' Perceptions of Juvenile Offenders' Culpability

Attorneys' and Jurors' Perceptions of Juvenile Offenders' Culpability
By:
Published on 2008 by ProQuest

Factors affecting attorneys' and mock jurors' perceptions of a juvenile offender's culpability were investigated. In study one, 30 attorneys from Texas responded to a survey in which they rated how likely 20 factors were to mitigate a juvenile offender's culpability in jurors' eyes. In study two, college students, serving as mock jurors, saw a photo of a juvenile offender and read a trial transcript. This study determined whether a juvenile offender's appearance (youthful vs. adult-like) and mock jurors' perceptions of the current crime trend would affect their verdict and sentence recommendations. Attorneys thought a juvenile offenders' youthful appearance would mitigate his culpability in jurors' eyes, but that jurors' perceptions of the crime trend would not mitigate his culpability in jurors' eyes. However, study two found that mock jurors' verdicts only differed depending on their perceptions of the current crime trend and were not affected by a juvenile offender's youthful appearance.
