Follow her as she discovers hidden clues, escapes a fiery car crash, unmasks the Lone Ranger, faces down a pair of alligators, and more. Addie is a fun-loving, spirited gal who loves her life; her family and friends; her cocktails; her runs on the beach; and her two Siamese cats, Law and Order. She lives in the upper flat of the Santa Monica home where she grew up, while her assistant and his husband live in the lower flat. Addie's seventy-three-year-old father is well-known around the world for his work as a consultant for aviation startup companies. Her mother is an elegant and humorous seventy-two-year-old retired Vogue model. Addie's assistant extraordinaire handles Addie's court reporting business; and his husband is the most sought-after hairdresser in SoCal. Addie's brother is in high demand as an attorney. Their sinister sister leads them down twisted paths, and one of Addie's friends owns the most popular escort service in Los Angeles. The love of Addie's life worked for the CIA and went missing in a sting operation. He was last seen entering a building that had just blown up. His death was never confirmed, and Addie has trouble accepting his disappearance. After four years she decides to check out online match-making services, which takes her on a whirlwind of comical dates. Look for Book 2 in the Court Reporter Mystery Series in September 2024.

Is Brugel reaching from behind the bars of the regional detention centre to manipulate his trial and to exact revenge?

Loring and Rounds: A Trustee's Handbook (2022) is an invaluable practical resource that addresses the rights, duties, and obligations of the parties once the trustee takes title to trust property. This Handbook steers you through this complex field, providing property owners with a mechanism for seeing to the needs of beneficiaries in cost-effective, creative, efficient, and flexible ways. Loring and Rounds: A Trustee's Handbook (2022) is a handy, ready reference, and a gateway to the treatises, restatements, law review articles, uniform statutes, and cases you need to know. This fully integrated and bound volume of the Handbook brings you up to date on the latest cases, statutes, and developments, as well as new or updated discussion of topics as follow: The Handbook continues the lengthy process of pruning some of the deadwood; significant exposition has been cut, revised, or combined. In sum, the Handbook is now even leaner, meaner, and more usable than ever. In addition, numerous new cases and secondary sources have been added. These include the following: In the 2022 Edition, there are 91 judicial-decision references and 186 footnotes that were not in the 2021 Edition. Forty pre-existing footnotes have been revised along with their accompanying texts. There has been a major across-the-board expansion, re-organization, renovation, consolidation, coordination, and updating of the content devoted to the intersection of trust law and constitutional (U.S.) law. We have, for example, opened up a whole new section devoted entirely to relevant taking and due process jurisprudence. See §5.3.1A and its sub-sections. The Handbook's treatment of the Domestic Asset Protection Trust (DAPT) has been beefed up and consolidated in §9.28. While the Handbook has had much to say about the equitable doctrine of unclean hands as it pertains to trustee conduct, there has been little on its applicability to beneficiary conduct. This oversight has been corrected. See §§ 5.5 & 7.1.9. All this, and much more is included in the 2022 Edition of the Handbook.
