THREE BORDER CITY "God Kept The Lights On" This book is the riveting testimony of how a girl with a troubled past faced conviction on First-degree murder charges and how she turned herself in. How a faithful couple of believers changed her life and helped her accept Jesus Christ as her personal savior while she was incarcerated. Her life after conviction transformed her into a spirit-filled woman of God and led her to assist as a translator in the same courts and legal system that tried her in a previous conviction. Your experiences do not define you. God always gets the final say. Claudia Miller is a community activist, legal, scholastic, and medical translator. She was previously incarcerated and God used a faithful believer to help turn my life and story around. Your experiences do not identify you. After all, that she went through, God used the same courts and legal system that tried her in a previous conviction to become her testimony of faith. It became an avenue that helped her turn her life around and translate for those who were sitting right in the same shoes she once fit. God works in mysterious ways, we don't understand what he is doing until he allows us to see his revelation of love when we look through life's rearview mirror. Claudia prays that God uses this to minister to the broken and the lost. That they may find faith when life is at its bleakest.

Gegenstand dieser Publikation ist eine rechtswissenschaftliche Untersuchung von Forschungs- und Entwicklungsvertragen zwischen dem oeffentlichen Auftraggeber und Industriefirmen im wehrtechnischen Bereich. Trotz eines Auftragsvolumens von fast 1 Mrd Euro jahrlich wurde diese Thematik in Rechtsprechung und Literatur bisher kaum behandelt. Die derzeit kontrar gefuhrte Diskussion uber die Beschaffung von Waffensystemen fur die Bundewehr zeigt, wie brisant und hochaktuell diese Auseinandersetzung ist. Besondere Bedeutung kommt dabei den "Allgemeinen Bedingungen fur Entwicklungsvertrage mit Industriefirmen" (ABEI) zu. Die Autorin setzt sich kritisch mit den derzeitigen Regelungen auseinander und unterbreitet praxistaugliche Vorschlage fur eine neue rechtssichere und ausgewogene Vertragsgestaltung.
