God vs. the Gavel challenges the pervasive assumption that all religious conduct deserves constitutional protection. While religious conduct provides many benefits to society, it is not always benign. The thesis of the book is that anyone who harms another person should be governed by the laws that govern everyone else - and truth be told, religion is capable of great harm. This may not sound like a radical proposition, but it has been under assault since the 1960s. The majority of academics and many religious organizations would construct a fortress around religious conduct that would make it extremely difficult to prosecute child abuse by clergy, medical neglect of children by faith-healers, and other socially unacceptable behaviors. This book intends to change the course of the public debate over religion by bringing to the public's attention the tactics of religious entities to avoid the law and therefore harm others.

“When a factor meant to unite threatens to so violently separate you from the one person who infuses wholeness into your every day, would you let go? Or would you cling with both hands, feet, and perhaps teeth? 'The Steel Gavel’ follows the ordinary lives of Jideofor Williams and Fiyinfunoluwa Taylor after their rather interesting first encounter. As they pursue their happily-ever-after, nothing prepares them for the smouldering glare of a thriving culture in parts of a supposedly modern-day Nigerian society. A culture famous for stamping its cold verdict on human lives with the force of a steel gavel. This is a story of love, of friendship, and of hope. It is also a story of teeth-grinding defiance to the crippling power of tyranny. A tyranny which promotes a version of living; a version still denying many the right… to simply live.

The book takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the corridors of parliament as seen through the eyes of a practitioner of thirty years’ experience in the ‘bear pit’ on Macquarie Street. The author’s seven years as one of its most highly regarded Speakers provides the background for this detailed and informative study of parliamentary practices and procedures. It lifts the veil on much that mystifies the outsider. It is a valuable source of information for those who are aspiring to enter parliament or are already in parliament, for those who are interested in studying parliament purely out of interest or as part of a formal course, and for those who wish to influence their parliament in the development of public policy.

In Glass and Gavel, noted legal expert Nancy Maveety has written the first book devoted to alcohol in the nation’s highest court of law, the United States Supreme Court. Combining an examination of the justices’ participation in the social use of alcohol across the Court’s history with a survey of the Court’s decisions on alcohol regulation, Maveety illustrates the ways in which the Court has helped to construct the changing culture of alcohol. “Intoxicating liquor” is one of the few things so plainly material to explicitly merit mention, not once, but twice, in the amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Maveety shows how much of our constitutional law—Supreme Court rulings on the powers of government and the rights of individuals—has been shaped by our American love/hate relationship with the bottle and the barroom. From the tavern as a judicial meeting space, to the bootlegger as both pariah and patriot, to the individual freedom issue of the sobriety checkpoint—there is the Supreme Court, adjudicating but also partaking in the temper(ance) of the times. In an entertaining and accessible style, Maveety shows that what the justices say and do with respect to alcohol provides important lessons about their times, our times, and our “constitutional cocktail” of limited governmental power and individual rights.

One of the urgent priorities of the first Federal Congress was the formation of its organization, formulation of rules for its conduct, & the selection of appropriate officials & devices to represent their authority. Following British tradition, the newly organized House of Representatives & the Senate each appointed a Sergeant-at-Arms. For its symbol of the commonality of the American people, the House adopted the mace in the tradition of its mother country, while the Senate utilized a gavel or knocker. First used during meetings in New York of the House of Representatives, the mace was destroyed by the British when they burned Washington, & it was not until 1841 that another was acquired. Over the years the mace has been used primarily to quell quarrels between Congressmen on the floor, & to bring absent House members to meetings so that a quorum could be formed. The mace has been invariably effective in bringing order among turbulent House members. Although a Sergeant at Arms served the same function in the United States Senate, he was not provided with a mace. Order was maintained by an ivory knocker or form of gavel that has been used for the purpose for almost two centuries.

One family's story of coping after their teenage daughter drops out of school, and an examination of the public school system itself. In the fall of 2000, while in Grade 7, Leslie Gavel's daughter Avery began what would be a four-year disengagement from school. Avery didn't fit the stereotype of the "dropout." Why would a privileged, middle-class adolescent choose this path when dropping out was a social stigma and would complicate her personal life and career choices? Leslie began to analyze the school system itself, but all of her research led not to answers but to further questions. Did school--its history, structure, practice--play any role in underachievement? Was the problem of marginal or failing grades, chronic student dissatisfaction, and disruptive classroom behaviour always the fault of the student--and, by extension, her parents--or could it be the fault of the school system itself? And did dropping out--an ultimate taboo for teenagers, along with pregnancy and drug abuse--really have to mean the end of the world for child and parent? Told from the deeply personal perspective of a concerned parent, Dropout is a memoir about one family's experience in the public school system. It also considers the latest research in alternative approaches to school, and offers suggestions for students who may not fit the educational mould or society's definition of "success." Leslie Gavel, a former social worker, is a Calgary freelance writer. Her work has appeared in Reader's Digest, Canadian Living, More, Today's Parent, Avenue and several Canadian and American newspapers, and has been produced for CBC national radio. Born and raised in Regina, she has lived in Calgary for decades. Advance praise for Dropout "In a courageous act of often painful self-disclosure, Leslie Gavel exposes the secret, massive and most crippling bullying that haunts Western educational systems: our abandonment and degradation of students who do not fit our perception of 'school success.' Like callous physicians who coldly dismiss patients who have illnesses they don't understand, our schools treat non-achievers as pariahs, as 'lepers' confronting us with things we'd rather not see. This bullying is even more damaging than peer abuse for struggling kids like Gavel's daughter since the devastating rejection comes not from teenaged jerks, but from admired and respected adult authorities. This brave book should be required reading for anyone who claims the title of 'educator' and will help parents to bind the wounds of these suffering children and nurture them back to life success and happiness." --Dr. Michael J. Bradley, author of Yes, Your Teen Is Crazy! Loving Your Kid Without Losing Your Mind "Dropout is not only a ruthlessly honest saga of one family's conflict over school, it is also a polemic that rails against a system that cries out for fundamental reform. Through research and storytelling, Leslie Gavel shows the reader what's wrong with school as it's conducted today, which is not unlike how it was conducted one hundred years ago when the goal was to produce workers for factories who'd do as they were told. Gavel warns something must change or our children will continue to be victims of an oppressive, authoritarian institution. I wish I'd read Dropout before my own kids faced off against our one-size-fits-all educational system." --Robert W. Fuller, Ph.D., former president of Oberlin College
