Lysias was one of the leading exponents of the art of speech-writing in the late fifth- and early fourth-century Athens. These five examples of his work cover a range of cases and offer an insight into Athenian society.

Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) vary in their origins and roles, but all share a similar set of questions for management and organizational development.
