Description

Tired of hearing what the Supreme Court and the media think that the Constitution means? Want to know what the people who wrote and ratified the Constitution thought it meant-but you think history is dry, boring and archaic? The Crumbling Wall presents the Constitution's original intent-in a lively and sometimes humorous manner-and shows how modern governmental practices have strayed from that intent. This book equips the reader to refute the living Constitution arguments that are commonly used to destroy the very freedoms that the 18th century patriots fought to defend. T.V. Weber is a lawyer who has written a number of legal and public policy articles. He wrote several articles for the now-defunct National Trial Lawyer, a publication that presented legal analysis for the professional in terms that could be understood and appreciated by the layman, such as clients in the waiting room or the staff at a law firm. His editor described him as having an ability to explain complicated legal issues in layman's terms and to demystify the law. In addition to writing articles about the law for National Trial Lawyer, he was an assistant editor on NIU Law Review. One of his academic projects, Privacy at Risk in the Age of Information: Does the Social Security Number Reveal Too Many Secrets?, was published in the November 1993 issue of National Trial Lawyer. NIU awarded him his Juris Doctor, cum laude, in 1993. He was an adjunct professor at Governor's State University in the spring of 1995. He has developed an oral presentation, entitled Law School in an Hour, which provides a brief synopsis of each class in the basic course of study offered at most American law schools. He has appeared as aguest lawyer, answering questions on radio talk shows in both English and Spanish. Currently, he writes a column for the Serbianna website, www.serbianna.com. Formerly, he and his wife Alida M. Weber (nie Jatich) wrote a column for Serbianna entitled Jatich and Weber. During the Kosovo War and its aftermath, the Webers wrote numerous articles that were published and made available to the press via the Internet. Some of their work has been translated into various languages and has run in several foreign publications. Man; y of those articles are available through their website, www.tvweber.com. Prior to his entry into the practice of law, his business ventures regularly took him to the proverbial Main Street, U.S.A. He lived for many years in Kane County, Illinois, where he became involved with local politics. Currently, he is the corporate counsel for the Brite Site family of companies in Chicago, Illinois. He also provides legal/business consultation to small businesses. He has a daughter, Becky, and lives with his wife, Alida, in Chicago, Illinois.
