Childfree Men

$69.95 A key aim of any competent book review is to give the reader some idea of how the book stacks up against its competition.

Laws, Regulations, and Guidelines Pertaining to Food Allergies and Indoor Air Quality in Schools

As this memorandum shows, schools have many concerns when it comes to managing food allergies and maintaining indoor air quality.

Lawsuit Against Homeless Camping Ordinance in Sacramento Raises Important Questions about Private Property Rights

A recent article in the Sacramento Bee addresses a fascinating and important issue: Should homeless people have a right to camp on public or private property (with the consent of the owner) in the city of Sacramento?

This led to the creation of what some called a small “tent city” on the property. Soon after, “police raided the encampment
