This new release offers the latest information crucial to your practice. Highlights include:
Chapter 2, Drafting and Negotiating the Contract: Discussions updated to include: the New York City Bar Association and the NYSBA Real Property Section’s contract for the sale of a cooperative apartment (see section 2:1.2[A]); and a new 114-page commercial contract of sale created by the American College of Real Estate Lawyers and published earlier this year (see section 2:1.2[C]).

This helpful resource provides on-point answers to all aspects of federal bail and detention law — especially those involving critical provisions of the Bail Reform Act of 1984. Through discussions told from grounded judicial perspectives, the book presents helpful practice pointers when confronting common Bail Reform Act problems. It also showcases an extensive series of forms, sample orders, and sample motions that defense counsel and assistant U.S. attorneys can reference.
Some of the recent developments reflected in this new edition include:
Weight of Evidence: Coverage of the United States v. Zhang case in which the Second Circuit ruled on whether the Bail Reform Act provides guidance on the relative weight the court should give the various section 3142(g) factors in deciding questions of release and detention (see Section 4:3).
Least Restrictive Possible Conditions: An update on a case arising from the January 6, 2021, invasion of the Capitol about whether the D.C. Circuit Court upheld or reversed the district court’s denial of the defendant’s request to travel abroad for three weeks for an educational opportunity (see Section 5:3).
Conditions in Every Bond: New discussion of a Third Circuit ruling regarding whether the “no crimes while on bond” condition prohibits the possession or use of marijuana in a state where marijuana is legal and in a situation in which the defendant has a “medical marijuana” authorization from a physician for its use (see Section 5:4).
Detention or Release Pending Competency Examination: New information about a Ninth Circuit case which considered whether a lack of an available bed at an appropriate facility relieves the Attorney General of the duty to attempt to rehabilitate the defendant within a brief period (see Section 14:10).
Sack on Defamation—widely cited by U.S. courts including the U.S. Supreme Court, academics, and attorneys—offers strategic guidance for both plaintiffs’ and defense attorneys and fully covers the basic elements of a defamation claim. The treatise pinpoints how to identify practical legal issues such as when “truth” is not a defense, insults and name-calling that cross the line into defamation, how “public disclosure of private facts” becomes actionable, why statements of “opinion” are not protected, and when defamatory communications are privileged. It also integrates coverage of Internet and social media issues.
Highlights of the new release include developments covering the following topics:
Statements held to be nonactionable: Discussion of a Delaware case in which the court considered the issue of whether a letter to an employer calling an employee’s outside actions “racist” is constitutionally protected (see section 4:3.5).
Standard of conduct: public plaintiffs: The list of “vortex” public figures has been expanded (see section 5:3.5).
Standard of conduct: private plaintiffs: Coverage of a case about whether the 2020 amendments to New York’s anti-SLAPP statute are retroactive (see section 6:4).
Absolute privilege and government agencies: Summary of an unusual case from Oregon concerning false statements entered into a patient’s medical record by physicians who worked for a public corporation health system (see section 8:2.4[A]).
Invited defamation: Spotlights a case from the Second Circuit in which former U.S. Senate candidate and Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore accused comedian Sacha Baron Cohen of defamation for falsely portraying Moore as a pedophile in a mock interview for Cohen’s television program (see section 8:2.8).
