The Assassination of Fred Hampton
Read the story behind the award-winning film Judas and the Black Messiah On December 4, 1969, attorney Jeff Haas was in a police lockup in Chicago, interviewing Fred Hampton's fiancÉe. Deborah Johnson described how the police pulled her from the room as Fred lay unconscious on their bed. She heard one officer say, "He's still alive." She then heard two shots. A second officer said, "He's good and dead now." She looked at Jeff and asked, "What can you do?" The Assassination of Fred Hampton remains Haas's personal account of how he and People's Law Office partner Flint Taylor pursued Hampton's assassins, ultimately prevailing over unlimited government resources and FBI conspiracy. Fifty years later, Haas writes that there is still an urgent need for the revolutionary systemic changes Hampton was organizing to accomplish. Not only a story of justice delivered, this book spotlights Hampton as a dynamic community leader and an inspiration for those in the ongoing fight against injustice and police brutality.
Summary of Jeffrey Haas's The Assassination of Fred Hampton
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Fred Hampton, the chairman of the Illinois Black Panther Party, spoke at a church in Chicago in August 1969. He said, I’m free. I went down to the prison in Menard, thinking we were the vanguard, but down there I got down on my knees and listened and learned from the people. I went down to the valley and picked up the beat of the people. #2 I was eventually asked to be a part of the movement, and I obliged. I became a lawyer for the movement, and I loved it.

Corporate Finance in a Nutshell
Softbound - New, softbound print book.
Wartime Suffering and Survival
Wartime Suffering and Survival explores how average people survive in the face of incredible odds. Using diaries, recollections, police records, interviews, and state documents from the Blockade of Leningrad in World War II, he shows how average Leningraders coped with the nightmares of war, starvation, and extreme uncertainty. Hass not only shares Leningraders' stories to uncover a little-told side of Russian/Soviet history, but also to reveal the humancondition--who we really are when our backs are against the wall.
Corporate Finance and Governance
Click here to see the paperback reprint of this book. This new edition retains the two organizing themes of the prior editions: that an underlying theory of the corporation is necessary to resolve any difficult questions in corporate law and that those difficult questions revolve around the tension between fiduciary obligation and contract principles that form the basis of corporate law. In addition to updating the materials presented in the second edition, the authors, including new author Jeffrey Haas, have completely streamlined and reorganized those materials in order to make learning and teaching easier. Specific changes in the third edition include: the addition of an enhanced chapter on derivative securities; the presentation within a single chapter of all materials on convertible securities; an expanded yet more focused chapter on mergers and acquisitions; and the addition of substantive materials on asset-backed securitization. "[A]n eminently teachable and up-to-date collection of cases, readings and provocative problems..." -- Professor Leon Lebowitz, The University of Texas School of Law, on the first edition
Corporate Finance and Governance
The recession of the early 1990s has highlighted new corporate law problems caused in part by the recent popularity of junk bonds and leveraged buyouts. This volume examines these problems, both in the context of traditional corporate law and financial analysis, and by incorporating much of the new legal thinking on the nature and structure of the corporation. It also provides analysis of the current structure of corporate governance and suggestions for reform. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
The Law of Mergers and Acquisitions
"The author created the materials for this publication from his 15 years of experience teaching the course. The casebook includes materials on the mechanics of an acquisition, successorship problems in acquisitions, acquisition documents, disclosure requirements, accounting and tax issues, antitrust law, and issues in international acquisitions. This is a very teachable text that provides both an appreciation of theory and practice."
Economic Sociology
