LIfe Saver.......2007-05-14

If you are a court reporting student, you can benefit from this book. I found that this book contained a lot of briefs that was not incorporated in my theory book. This book will help you gain the speed to pass speed test.

Valuable resource!.......2006-11-10

My judge uses all kinds of crazy words, things that people don't usually hear in everyday courtroom proceedings...yet I have found most of them in this book! In my efforts to reduce my overall strokes and improve my realtime, this book has been my sidekick. Not a day goes by that I don't look for some help between its covers. It's awesome!

Great referece book for any court reporter...........2006-05-11

This book will become a staple in my realtime library, love it!

A Court Reporter's Bible!.......2002-12-05

WOW, WOW, WOW!!! I think this book should be required reading for EVERY court reporter. I've been reporting 21 years, have all my certifications, but I'd have to say I feel like I have just now "turned the corner" after incorporating some of these briefs!

Curious? How about MOINGS for "among other things," AEFM for "African-American," and my favorite, the 40+ pages of "is" phrases including STHR-LGS for "Is there anything else."

You'll want to make space in your carrying case so you always have this reference with you!

THE building-block resource for reporters and students........1998-09-06

I can't say enough good things about Laurie's books for court reporters. BRIEF ENCOUNTERS should be on every reporter's and student's reference shelf. This book contains one- and two-stroke briefs and phrases for everyday reporting and is full of ideas which you will want to incorporate into your dictionaries. Some examples:

HOUB = how about HOUBT = how about the HOUBZ = how about these HOUBS = how about those HOUF = how far HOUFT = how fast HOUM = how many HOUFM = how many of them HOUMZ = how many of these HOUMS = how many of those

Book Description

Even in our most casual encounters with strangers legal systems play a role, explains the author of this fascinating book. Michael Reisman shows how "microlegal" systems function and how their elaborate codes, exceptions, and procedures sanction deviance and govern acceptable behavior in all our social interactions. He also demonstrates that, paradoxically, efforts to improve microlaw may threaten individual autonomy and privacy.

Description:
This paper examines the circumstances of 1306 children in Hennepin County who were removed under urgent situations and placed, for 7 days or less, in emergency shelter care. This population represents more than one-quarter (26.13%) of the total number of children who experienced out-of-home placement (4998) in Hennepin County (1999). This study allows us to examine, briefly, the circumstances of children who are removed from their families under emergency situations, their demographic profiles and exit information following their shelter care. Two research questions guided this study: is placement in a shelter the least intrusive response for the safety needs of children in emergency situations? And, can we capture and clarify the working relationship between child protection workers and local law enforcement officers? In examining the data on shelter placement, some conclusions are drawn and recommendations are made to improve protocols that guide emergency placements.
