Product Description
Coke, Sir Edward. The Reports of Sir Edward Coke, Knt. In Thirteen Parts. A New Edition, with Additional Notes and References, and with Abstracts of the Principal Points: The First Three Parts and the Fourth to Fol. 38a. by John Henry Thomas, Esq. The Rest of the Fourth and the Remaining Nine Parts by John Farquhar Fraser, Esq. London: Joseph Butterworth and Son, 1826. Six volumes. With a new introduction by Steve Sheppard, William Enfield Professor of Law, University of Arkansas School of Law. Reprinted 2002 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-239-5. Cloth. $595. "The best and last [edition], which has superceded all older ones, is in English; the whole thirteen Parts in 6 vols. 8vo. London, 1826." Wallace 194-195. This edition is also noteworthy for the inclusion of Coke's complete prefaces. Coke [1552-1643] was considered to be the greatest legal practitioner of his day. Written between 1572 and 1616, The Reports are not reports in the conventional sense but highly detailed anthologies of precedents organized according to the cases they consider. In each instance Coke assembled a large body of cases, outlined their arguments, and explained the reasons for the judgment, using it as a basis for a statement of general principles. They are, in effect, a series of treatises on the points of law adjudged, and not merely notes for citation. Taken together, The Reports form the most extensive and detailed treatment of Common Law pleading that had yet appeared. A work of immense authority, it was often cited as The Reports, there being no need to mention the author's name. His accounts, especially of pleadings, were applauded for both their clarity and usefulness as stylistic models for students. And his selection of cases, cited frequently in subsequent years, has served as the starting point for numerous decisions. He also attracted some powerful enemies, however, principally James I, who was angered by some of his opinions concerning royal prerogative. Coke's refusal to retract them and apologize to the King cost him his seat on the Bench. See Marvin, Legal Bibliography (1847) 209-211, Wallace, The Reporters (1882) 165-196. ... Read more

Product Description
This book discusses attitudes of Arkansas public school superintendents toward education in light of two opposing viewpoints: essentialism and progressivism. The study provides a comparative analysis of the essentialist and progressive schooling process and the role of the administrator. It also looks at the implications for working with adminstrators for educational change. Information is collected regarding (a) opinions about the need to restructure Arkansas schools and (b) factors contributing to/or inhibiting local restructuring efforts. The survey response rate was 78%, and the author concludes that there does not appear to be a great extent of progressivism among superintendents in this study. Witcher argues that, based upon the results of this study, Arkansas educational reformers may need to examine their methods for promoting change. This book will appeal to those persons enrolled in programs for educational administration and leadership, courses in educational foundations, and anyone interested in working with school superintendents (and other personnel for educational change). ...

Product Description
This text provides a clear and concise view of current perspectives in schoollaw and makes the all-important leap from theory to practice, with a focus onthe day-to-day realities of school law. Subjects include student rights, teacherrights, tort action, power and authority, change, and conflict.While the topics of corporal punishment, free speech, and church and statehave been debated by lawyers for years, the law is ever changing to encompassnew subjects involving handicapped students, AIDS, and more.Teachers, to be sure, are not expected to be lawyers or to possess a masteryof the law. They are, however, able to obtain a fundamental knowledge of it,especially with the assistance of Law in Arkansas Public Schools .This fundamental knowledge provides teachers with information that todayrivals reading, writing, and arithmetic in importance. In this day and age, whenstudents and parents sue schools and teachers, the best defense for teachers andadministrators is simply to know the law.Professor Paul E. Peterson teaches administration and secondary education atthe University of Central Arkansas. A former public school teacher andprincipal, he received his Ed.D. in 1983 from the University of Akron. Dr.Peterson teaches school law at UCA and has presented numerous workshops on thistopic for teachers, administrators, and school boards throughout the state. ... Read more

Product Description
Much has been written about the Little Rock School Crisis of 1957, but very little has been devoted to the following year—the Lost Year, 1958–59—when Little Rock schools were closed to all students, both black and white. Finding the Lost Year is the first book to look at the unresolved elements of the school desegregation crisis and how it turned into a community crisis, when

policymakers thwarted desegregation and challenged the creation of a racially integrated community and when competing groups staked out agendas that set Arkansas’s capital on a path that has played out for the past fifty years.

In Little Rock in 1958, 3,665 students were locked out of a free public education. Teachers’ lives were disrupted, but students’ lives were even more confused. Some were able to attend schools outside the city, some left the state, some joined the military, some took correspondence courses, but fully 50 percent of the black students went without any schooling.

Drawing on personal interviews with over sixty former teachers and students, black and white, Gordy details the long-term consequences for students affected by events and circumstances over which they had little control. ... Read more

"While the chief claim of Educating the Masses is to venerate the legacy of several generations of dedicated black educators, the last three chapters of the book set out a poignant reminder, a chilling warning, and a continuing challenge for all citizens of Arkansas. . . . The challenge, of course, is to continue to follow the example of the black educators celebrated in this volume in working for an educational system that will provide both quality and opportunity to all young Arkansans."--Arkansas Historical Quarterly

Product Description
The Supreme Court s Brown rulings in 1954 and 1955 gave rise to a program of massive resistance in the American South that included the resurrection of the doctrine of interposition. The first critical test of interposition occurred in Little Rock, Arkansas, beginning in September 1957 when Governor Faubus called out the National Guard to bar the Little Rock Nine from Central High School, thereby igniting one of the greatest constitutional crises in American history. This work examines the development of the states rights arguments against federal court-ordered desegregation of the schools, and how those arguments came to bear on Faubus, leading him to interpose to prevent the admission of the nine black students into the school. The Supreme Court s September 1958 ruling in the Little Rock case, Cooper v. Aaron, rejected the validity of interposition and left segregationists throughout the South searching for another means to avoid compliance with Brown. ... Read more
