Written primarily for the owners and managers of trucking companies and freight brokers, Rules of the Road addresses best practices in contracting and day-to-day business relationships in order to steer clear of potentially catastrophic legal pitfalls. The book helps managers avoid serious problems with freight and owner-operator contracts, insurance policies, factoring agreements, freight charge collections, cargo claims and customer bankruptcies. In addition, Rules of the Road addresses special legal issues involving intermodal drayage, warehousing and refrigerated transportation. In addition to the primary text, the book includes useful supplementary resources such as the Standard Truckload Bill of Lading; simple carrier-shipper and carrier-broker contracts; an outline of items to include in carrier service terms and conditions; a comprehensive list of statutory and regulatory citations; and an extensive glossary of terms.

Criminal cases raise difficult normative and legal questions, and are often a consequence of compelling human drama. In this collection, expert authors place leading cases in criminal law in their historical and legal contexts, highlighting their significance both in the past and for the present. The cases in this volume range from the fifteenth to the twenty-first century. Many of them are well known to modern criminal lawyers and students; others are overlooked landmarks that deserve reconsideration. The essays, often based on extensive and original archival research, range over a wide spectrum of criminal law, covering procedure and doctrine, statute and common law, individual offences and general principles. Together, the essays explore common themes, including the scope of criminal law and criminalisation, the role of the jury, and the causes of change in criminal law.
