Scholarship is the backbone of faculty. This is our way of learning and expanding our knowledge base. It usually starts as we get excited or inquisitive about specific topics and conduct research in those areas. As we contemplate the existing scholarship in an area, we begin to write and publish exciting and new theories to propose changes or new ways of analyzing a topic. Indeed, we may become known for our developing expertise and be invited to speak at conferences and present scholarly papers. In the end, the real winners are our students because we bring our scholarship into the classroom to enhance our teaching.<\/p>\n
La Verne Law faculty also took their scholarship to all parts of the United States and several countries in Europe as we spread our knowledge during the past year. Two new books were published: Advanced Guide for Mediators and Making Tax Law. Several new editions to books were written, including: third edition of Contracts, Doctrine, Values and Skills; renamed text, Courtroom Use and Misuse of Mathematics, Physics and Finance; and second edition for Computer and Video Game Law. Annual supplements were published for the following texts: Documentary Evidence, Demonstrative Evidence, Guerrilla Discovery, and Is It Admissible?.<\/p>\n
