Problems and Materials on Decedents' Estates and Trusts
Author: Eugene F Scoles
This masterful revision of a classic casebook, by experienced author and teacher Eugene Scoles and the Reporter for the Restatement (Second) on Trusts, Edward Halbach, incorporates all of the 1990 Uniform Probate Code changes. It offers a highly teachable mix of practical and theoretical materials, including new coverage of fiduciary duty and problems that explore issues arising from non—tradtional families.
The Fifth Edition of this problem—oriented casebook features:
changes arising from the 1990 Uniform Probate Code
increased coverage of professional responsibility issues
presentation of issues arising from non—traditional families, with attention to parent—child relationships; substantive law changes relating to spousal rights; and the evolution of rights of non—marital children
new treatment of fiduciary administration's acceptance of the portfolio theory of investment as an element of the prudent trustee investment rule
detailed discussion of the consequences of Tulsa Professional Collection Services v. Pope, which revolutioned notice procedures in probate
A wealth of realistic problems and well—focused text enrich class discussion, and the manageable format allows you to cover material more efficiently. The Teacher's Manual answers all of the problems in the book.

Public Relations: Managing Competition and Conflict is an introductory textbook that provides students with the latest theories and practices as it explores the role of competition and conflict in today’s modern public relations practice. This text takes a brief, problem-solving approach, combining the insights of public relations experts Glen Cameron and Dennis Wilcox with the fresh voices of two of the fastest rising stars of public relations education, Bryan Reber and Jae-Hwa Shin.
Features:
- Topical and timely casebooks make current public relations events understandable and relevant to students. Examples include the Dixie Chicks and their image (Ch. 1), the Bush administration and Hurricane Katrina (Ch. 6), and Wal-Mart’s efforts to improve its reputation (Ch. 6). Case activity projects in each chapter pose practical, real-world case problems that require students to discuss and generate a solution, developing students’ critical thinking and problem-solvingcapabilities.
- “Global” boxes broaden students’ perspectives by showing public relations activities and campaigns on a global scale. Examples such as the censorship of Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft in China (Ch. 6), the breast cancer awareness campaign in Pakistan (Ch. 7), and the PR war between Israel and the Palestinians underscore the international and intercultural implications of public relations (Ch. 10).
- “Ethics” boxes provide real-life ethical situations that encourage students to discuss various ethical aspects of the profession and draw their own conclusions. These features focus on actual situations such as paying journalists in Iraq to write favorable stories (Ch. 2), when to resign from an account (Ch. 4), and the ethics of issuing misleading news releases (Ch. 5).
- “Insight” boxes with how-to information and checklists help students master the practical tactics of the field, including how to write a news release (Ch. 1), pitch a story via e-mail (Ch. 3), and select media channels for distribution. (Ch. 4)
