Product Description
"Blackstone's Statute Books" are designed specifically to provide students with a collection of statutes for use throughout their course, and now cover all the main law subjects. The series has been produced following careful research of the syllabuses of most law courses. As a result, the authors have been able to produce a concise collection of relevant statutes, eliminating some of the non-essential material and concentrating on the more important statutes. As many courses move towards allowing statute books to be taken into examinations, this series should be suitable for that purpose. This edition includes relevant provisions of many new statutes on family law and property law, including the Family Law Act 1996, the Pensions Act 1995, the Private International Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1995, the Housing Act 1996, the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996, and the Education Act 1996. The many amendments to existing provisions effected by the above statutes and by other primary legislation, such as the Law Reform (Succession) Act 1995, the Jobseekers Act 1995 and the Marriage Ceremony (Prescribed Words) Act 1996, are incorporated into the appropriate text. ...

Title: Changes made to the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act cured some, but not all, of previous defects the Ninth Circuit found in the statute; although amendments that changed the scienter required under AEDPA satisfy constitutional requirements, some terms continue to render provisions of it void on vagueness grounds.
