Drinking/Driving Litigation: Criminal and Civil
(Second Edition - West Group)
In 1984, having found the only multi-volume text on alcohol related litigation incomplete and inadequate, Don Nichols set out to write the definitive text on drinking/driving litigation. The original four-volume set was published in 1985. Mr. Nichols maintained the updates until 1996. In that year, Mr. Whited was selected from all the leading attorneys in the United States, to continue Mr. Nichols work. West Group Inc., the largest legal publishing company in the nation, requested Mr. Whited re-write the legal sections of the book. The book covers every legal issue related to a DUI/DWI case. The science sections have chapters describing the method of operation of all the major breath testing machines. The science of blood and urine testing for alcohol is covered along with post-mortem issues. There are chapters on the absorption, distribution and elimination of alcohol and proper scientific testing procedures. The cost of the four-volume set is $550.00. The annual upkeep near that amount. The book is updated three times annually.
