How to Try a Personal Injury Case

Proper presentation of a case in court is dependent upon proper preparation. Proper presentation means an intimate knowledge of the facts, the parties, possible witnesses, and, o fcourse, the governing legal principles. Indeed, proper preparation means far more than knowledge. It embraces true compre-hension. Before an advocate can present his client\u27s cause or meet his adversary on equal terms, he himself must completely understand the problem. Clear expression of an idea is impossible without a clear understanding of it

Consolidated Markets, Brand Competition, and Orange Juice Prices

This paper examines how consolidation in the marketing system affects prices for orange juice. We isolated the pricing behavior of brand marketers, wholesalers, and retailers by observing the retail prices for specific orange juice products, including leading national brands and private label brands, in 54 U.S. markets over a 1-year period. The data provided little compelling evidence that consolidated markets engaged in non-competitive pricing behavior. Increased brand competition, particularly between private labels and leading national brands, did, however, appear to lower average market prices.consumer demographics, national brands, orange juice, price behavior, private labels, wholesaler concentration, retailer concentration, Demand and Price Analysis, Industrial Organization,

A New Species of Tile Fish (Pisces: Branchiostegidae) from Bermuda, With a Brief Discussion of the Genus Caulolatilus

A new species of tilefish, Caulolatilus bermudensls (family Branchiostegidae) is described from two specimens taken by hook and line from depths of 270 and 366 meters off Bermuda. These represent the only known records of the genus from Bermuda. Included is a brief discussion of the genus Caulolatllus and a key to the western Atlantic species

Preparing for the Looming Changes in Lease Accounting

Donald Rumsfeld famously stated, “There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know.” Rumsfeld’s statement can be applied to our state of knowledge regarding the accounting for operating leases in the future. There is general agreement (that is, a “known known”) that new standards will require lessees to report most of the assets and related liabilities associated with operating leases on the balance sheet—a significant change from current off-balance-sheet reporting. A “known unknown” is the final form of the accounting standard, including the way leases will be classified (e.g., not operating, but what instead?), and the specific patterns of expense recognition for leases newly recognized on the balance sheet. The “unknown unknowns” can apply to lessee companies that do not yet understand the extent of the preparation and data gathering they face in order to be ready by the new standard’s effective date (whenever that proves to be)

A New Species of Tilefish (Pisces: Branchiostegidae) from the Western Tropical Atlantic

A new species of the new world tilefish genus Caulolatilus (family Branchiostegidae), C. williamsi, is described from off Cay Sal Bank and off St. Croix, Virgin Islands. The new species differs from its congeners in having alternating narrow yellow and broad dark body bars and a large yellow spot on the lower part of the rounded caudal fin. The western Atlantic species are identified in a key
