A catalog of books & tools is availalbe on the site at www.lawyersandjudges.com for download.
(4) Special thanks to Kendall Svengalis who not only included the R.I. statute governing the use of life expectancy tables, but only included the following comments:
The Life Tables are published in the Vital Statistics of the United States and are available in most federal depositories and are also available in "The United States Abridged Life Tables" (United States Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics). I had occasion to use them many trimes at the R.I. State Law Library since lawyers were frequently using those figures in personal injury and wrongful death cases. However, the statistics do not include Hispanic as a category because it is so amorphous a concept. My conversations with the folks who compiled the statistics told me that one must classify those who might be identified as "Hispanic" as white, black or other. Those are the only options.
Thanks again to all who responded.
