reasonable prudent person who has the full knowledge and apprehension of the risk incurred ,the act

required by law were given and that the child was not on the track over which the cars were passing,
but on a side track near the main track. The company is not the insurer of ,or liable to those who ,of

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Being A Lawyer
When people talk about lawyers, the very first time that will get into their minds is that lawyers are
rich, because they often get paid with thousands and thousands of money on every case they handle.
What people don't really think about is how difficult being a lawyer is. Every single day is a struggle
to keep up with deadlines and meetings, there will always be paperworks to get through, especially
if they're handling multiple cases. Being a lawyer can actually be a dangerous job, they could be
killed regardless if they win a case or not, they could also get sick because of how much they're
working. Keep reading to find out how dangerous it is to be a lawyer.
"We often want to win even more than the client. We see the bigger picture, law, precedent, our
reputation, plus all of the work that we put on our case because I think I've cared most of my cases
far more than my clients care about their own cases." Michael Halbfish ... Show more content on

However, what most people don't think is that it is not always about using the brain. Just because
lawyers don't do physical labor doesn't mean that they don't get physically tired. They're human
beings as well, so their bodies get tired too. They may not be doing extreme physically labor, it
doesn't mean they don't exert physical effort. Lawyers are known to always be sitting on their desks
working on paperworks, that would mean, that they would most likely get tired of sitting for too
long, with back pains, as well as looking at their computers for so long that would affect their eyes.
Since they are always so busy, they obviously wouldn't have so much time to work out every day
and exercise is essential, they also sometimes don't eat healthy meals on time because they would
most likely be relying to

Both parties appealed Discussion of the Facts: Who did what to whom? What relief is being sought?
Jacquelyn Young hired the law firm of Becker & Poliakoff to represent her in her federal
employment discrimination lawsuit against her employer. The firm associate that filed the action
made a mistake by attaching the wrong U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
right–to–sue letter. The court dismissed the claims. The law firm did not try to re–file using the
correct attachment, or try to dismiss the motion. Thirteen months later, the law firm informed Young
that the claims had been dismissed, and that the firm was withdrawing from representing her further
with the case. Young argued that the firm had a conflict of interest when it continued to represent
other employees of Young's employer, and when their settlement included a rule barring the firm
from suing the employer in the future. Young believed that the firm had waited to pursue her case
until its other case was settled. The jury determined that Becker & Poliakoff knew that the case
had been dismissed, but withheld that information from Young so they could settle the other case
and secure the $2.9 million fee and cost reimbursement in that case. The jury returned a verdict for
Young of $394,000 in compensatory damages as a result of Becker & Poliakoff's breach of
fiduciary duty. The total compensatory damages consisted of $144,000 in past lost wages and
$250,000 in damages for

Case Analysis : Brief Analysis
1. CASE ANALYSIS: Brief analysis/summary
On Nov 5th, 2015, United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter
addressed to Mr. Satish Reddy, the chairman of Dr. Reddy Laboratories Ltd.
The warning letter was issued after the FDA inspected three of Dr. Reddy's plants located in
different parts of India, locations in Srikakulam, Miryalguda and Duvvada (Unit VI, V and VII) on
November 17th – 21st 2014, January 26th–31st and February 26th to March 6th 2015 respectively.
The FDA, upon inspection, discovered that the facilities were not in compliance with the current
Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). Facilities at Srikakulam and Miryalguda were deviating
from the cGMP for the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredient whereas the third facility at
Duvvada violated cGMP for finished pharmaceuticals products as per 21 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 210 and 211.
The deviations and the violations led to both, the API and the finished products, to be considered as
adulterated as per the section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and 21 U.S.C.
351(a)(2)(B). The manufacturing, packaging, and holding processes in these facilities did not
conform to the standards of cGMP. The responses that were sent to FDA earlier to the issuance of
this warning letter also didn't address the issues sufficiently.
The FDA now requires a written response to the warning letter by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories to

Gonzalez v. Reno, 212 F.3d 1338 (11th Cir. 2000)
Procedural History:
Plaintiff, Elian Gonzalez, a six year old minor, through his "next of friend", Lazaro Gonzalez, filed
an asylum application with the INS (Immigration & Naturalization Service), which was denied.
The plaintiff's then filed a claim in the federal district court which stated the Plaintiff's due process
rights were violated and the INS had overstepped ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Issue:
Whether a minor child can file for asylum without the consent of a parent or legal guardian?
Rule:
8 U.S.C.A. § 1158 (West 2012) states any alien who is physically present in the United States or
who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien
who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States
waters), irrespective of such alien's status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or,
where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.
Analysis:
The main issues before the Court were two–fold. First, could a six year old child apply for asylum
without a parent or legal guardian and secondly, did the INS overstep their authority in denying the
application for asylum. Statute 8 USC § 1158 states that "any" alien could apply for asylum,
however, the INS rejected that a six year old child had the mental capacity to make that decision for
himself. The INS interviewed both the Uncle Lazaro Gonzalez and the father Juan Gonzalez and
determined that the father was the legal guardian, therefore had the right to speak for Elian

Gonzalez. Elian's reasons for seeking asylum were "fear of persecution". According to the uncle, if
Elian, were returned to Cuba,

Abstract
This study examines to effect Solution focused brief therapy has on an adolescence with anger
issues. It is hypothesized that through SFBT the client is able to decrease the amount of negative

Counselors will examine every aspect of client's life as it pertains to the outcome of controlling
anger outburst. This study will examine the importance of identity in adolescents and lend some
understanding of on solution focused brief therapy works well with clients with anger issues.

As a continuing response to treating aggression in adolescents, counselors added a strengths–based
element to the requirements for a successful treatment. Strengths based approaches highlighted and
developed Antoni's strengths and competencies to reduce anger (Paylo, 2005). As part of the
treatment, a focus on strengths attempted to awaken talents, knowledge, and resources in the service
of achieving the client's goals and vision. Strengths–based approaches are grounded in helping
people achieve a health and well–being lifestyle. A greater emphasis is placed on finding what is
right, effective, and strong within individuals as opposed to focusing on identifying the problems.
Solution–Focused Brief Therapy was developed by Steve de Shazer (1940– 2005), Insoo Kim Berg
(1934–2007), and colleagues beginning in the late 1970s in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Arslan,

Mainstreeter Law Case Paper
When starting a new law firm, there are a variety of expenses. Some are a one–time start–up fees,
and others will be reoccurring. By far the biggest expense will be purchasing an office building. The
office space Mainstreeter Law hopes to purchase is a two–story house in which the entire first floor
has been converted into a traditional 3 office layout. The second floor is a 2–bedroom apartment that
is totally separated from the first–floor offices and includes its own entrance in the back. The
location and size of this office are ideal. It is in downtown Sauk Centre, and the 3 offices allow
Mainstreeter Law room to grow. At $159,000, it is a substantial investment, however, because
Mainstreeter Law is buying instead of renting, they will be able to build equity with each payment.
The monthly mortgage payment on a 15–year fixed loan with a rate of 4.18% would be $1,196 per
month. While this sounds like a lot, Mainstreeter Law would be able to rent out the upstairs
apartment to partner Nicholas Adams for $600 per month. This cuts Mainstreeter Law's month
mortgage payment to only $600. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
When adding up all of the start–up fees, they equal about $3,600. The monthly expenses, including
the $600 net mortgage payment, equates to roughly $2,600 per month. It is important to note that
this does not include salaries for any support staff. At this time, Mainstreeter Law does not intend to
hire any support staff, such as paralegals. As the firm grows, however, this will become another
expense. The average yearly salary for a paralegal in Central Minnesota is roughly $36,000. As for
partner compensation, the partners will not pay themselves a set yearly salary. Their compensation
will come from whatever surplus profit there is. End of the year bonuses will be distributed based
off of the formula listed in Section

Essay about Katherine Mansfield's Miss Brill
Illusion vs. Reality in Miss Brill
"Miss Brill" by Katherine Mansfield is set the Jardins Publiques in France. Every Sunday Miss Brill
looks forward to getting dressed up and visiting the park, where she enjoys people watching. Her
weekly visits to the park are undoubtedly the highlight of her week, bringing her great joy and
satisfaction. There are many illusions in this story, in this essay I intend to show three different
illusions Miss Brill uses to make herself happy and how her reality is shattered at the end of the
story by a chance remark.
Miss Brill's first illusion is her fur, which she thinks of as being alive. Mansfield writes, "Dear little
thing! ...and rubbed the life back into the dim little eyes. `What has been ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
Miss Brill soon observes a lady and a gentleman having a brief encounter in the park, and she
imagines what is being said on between the couple. Through this encounter one sees that Miss Brill
is living vicariously through the people in the park to fulfill her loneliness. Miss Brill's voyeurism
leaves her feeling as though she has interactions with these people; this, in turn, leaves her happy
and fulfilled. The truth is she is a very lonely person looking to fill her time in the park with
imagined relationships.
Miss Brill's third illusion is that she thinks of herself as "an actress"(123) in a play. This illusion
gives Miss Brill great pleasure and exhilaration, as she thinks, "They were all on stage... they were
acting" (123) and that she is "An Actress"(123), which is an important part of her illusion. Mansfield
writes, "Who could believe the sky at the back wasn't painted?"(123). This statement leads readers
to believe that Miss Brill thinks of the sky and the park as the set of the play. She believes that the
all of the park patrons "weren't only the audience"(123) but also the actors in a great play. Miss Brill
even sees a dog that happens to be walking across the park as a " `theater' dog. She also believes that
"somebody would have noticed if she hadn't been there" (123) for her Sunday performance, and that
she would be greatly missed. In actuality she is not an actress in a play but one of the many people
enjoying the park.

Brief Facts of the FSI Case
Future Solutions, Inc GAO Brief Facts of the Case In this case FSI argued that the agency's purchase
from the FSS should have been set aside for small business and that EPA's failure to do so violated
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) ยง 19.502–2(b). This regulation normally requires an agency
to set aside purchases for small businesses where there is a sensible anticipation of getting fair
market price offers from at least two dependable small business entities. However, there is currently
no statute or regulation that requires the agency to set aside this condition for small businesses as an
alternative to purchasing from FSS vendors. FSI also argued that its answer to the agency's sources
sought notice was not practically looked at, that the 5–page limit on its answer was unfair, and that
its answer was looked at in a prejudicially unequal manner in that the large business vendors were
given the chance to make oral presentations and have discussions. FSI finally challenged that the
agency's bundling of its office supplies rations into the BPA violates requirements of the Small
Business Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 631(j)(3), which requires agencies to steer clear of needless and
unfounded bundling of contract requirements that prevent small business participation in
procurements as prime contractors. Issue or Issues Future Solutions, Inc. (FSI) protested the award

Case Brief : Nalwa V. Cedar Fair
CASE BRIEF PAPER: NALWA V. CEDAR FAIR, L.P. The Court Opinion A published court
opinion is the explanation of a court 's judgment on the outcome of a particular court case. A
published court opinion can include a judge's opinion when the trial court judgment is appealed to
the court of appeals. The judge's opinion typically consists of case precedents, fact analysis,
applicable law and the arguments of the attorneys for the parties. The court of appeals can have as
many as three to nine judges and therefore, there are frequently "dissenting opinions" (judges who
disagree with the majority opinion) and "concurring opinions" (judges who agree with the majority
opinion) (Hill). To locate this court opinion, I first went on the Pennsylvania State University
Database web page. From there I needed to locate the link to the "Lexis Nexis Academic." After
clicking on the link to "Lexis Nexis Academic," I clicked on "Look up a Legal Case" and located the
court opinion by typing in the case abbreviations, 290 P.3d 1158, in the search by citation box.
Introduction On July 5, 2005, Dr. Smiriti Nalwa took her two children to Great America amusement
park. The plaintiff and her two children went on the park's "Rue le Dodge" bumper car ride. The
plaintiff and her son drove in a bumper car together. After hitting several other cars, their car was
bumped from the front and then from the back. The plaintiff felt as if she needed to brace herself
and placed her hand on the car's "dashboard"

Defamation Case Brief
Defamation is an intentional tort involving a defamatory statement made by the defendant in regards
to the plaintiff. In Steve's case he is being defamed in spoken word and written word by his
opponent, Marcus Unwell. Steve should sue his opponent for slander and label per se, as Unwell's
false comments caused Steve's integrity to be called into question; consequently, he lost his bid for
office and faced financial hardship as people began to boycott his company. Unwell's comments fall
into the category of slander per se as he alleged during speeches that Steve was an incompetent,
communist whose company sold defective products; this statement directly seeks to damage Steve's
business reputation. Steve's lawyer should also argue negligence

Theme Of Doubleness In The Great Gatsby
II. At this point, hints have already been dropped to the reader about Gatsby and his "doubleness",
(Hays, 1), but even so Fitzgerald now begins to emphasize the extent of that "doubleness" by
showcasing not only Gatsby's strange habits, but his wealth and power as well.
Fitzgerald has already demonstrated to the reader how unrestrained Gatsby's lifestyle is, and now he
has begun to slowly affirm Nick's doubts about Gatsby. Aside from that, Fitzgerald focuses even
more so on hinting at the truth behind Gatsby's notorious rumors.
The first time the reader actually sees Gatsby use his social status for something other than parties,
is during a brief encounter with a highway policeman.
As Gatsby speeds down a highway and is stopped by a policeman, Nick witnesses him wave "a
white card from his wallet" right in front of the man's face. This gaudy display of exemption implies
that Gatsby is not at all opposed to using his social status to his benefit, morally just or not. It hints
back to the rumors floating around his parties that Gatsby is not a man to be trifled with, so much
that Fitzgerald even goes so far as to call Gatsby "second cousin to the devil" (61). Thus, his
'doubleness' as a mysterious party host and a rumored "cold–blooded killer" is brought to relevance
(Hays, 1). 2. At lunch, Nick is introduced to Meyer Wolfsheim, who very nearly exposes Gatsby's
dealings in shady business. This encounter is used to show where some of the rumors about Gatsby

Millersburg Case Brief
MILLERSBURG – A Millersburg area man on Tuesday denied being in possession of firearms as he
fled the scene where he was allegedly stalking a donut delivery driver.
Andrew L. Hershberger, 40, of 4607 Township Road 302, Millersburg, pleaded not guilty in Holmes
County Municipal Court to carrying a concealed weapon, menacing by stalking, possession of
drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and two counts of improper handling of a firearm in a motor
vehicle.
If convicted, Hershberger faces up to six years in prison.
The charges stem from a Dec. 19 incident.
Millersburg Police were called that night to a reported disturbance at a gas station along state Route
39. There, they were advised Hershberger, who had fled the gas station as they arrived, had been
following the delivery driver between his last four stops to local businesses, according to Sgt. Matt
Shaner. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Hershberger not only admitted to following the deliveryman, but said he had several loaded
weapons – a pistol on him, a pistol on the dashboard and a rifle in the back seat – in his vehicle,
according to Shaner.
Hershberger said he thought he was compliant with Ohio's open carry law, which does not extend to
weapons in a vehicle, said Shaner.
Hershberger told the officer he had been following the deliveryman because he believed the man
was delivering either heroin or methamphetamine along his route and Hershberger indicated an
interest in intervening, said Shaner, noting police do not believe there was any substance to
Hershberger's claim.
During Hershberger's arrest, police found marijuana on him and in the car, where they also found
rolling papers, said Shaner.
Hershberger is next scheduled to appear in court for an April 13 pretrial conference. A jury trial is
scheduled for May

His experience in the classroom and his substantial research into both the positives and negatives of
diversity make his clear, concise arguments are incredibly convincing, especially in regards to his
own university classroom.
Thernstrom, on the other hand, appears to be attempting to make a case for self–evidence. Her
arguments, such as minority students getting into universities because of "upward–ratcheting"
appear unsubstantiated. Indeed, her claim that many minority students cannot "catch up" to other
students itself appears unsubstantiated. Further, because of she argues that many. Her omission of
Dr. Putnam's research when it directly contradicted her arguments further diminishes her amicus
curiae brief.
Affirmative action, and race–based admissions standards, are the best way to increase (or maintain)
diversity at institutions of higher learning. In spite of its perceived flaws, it has increased the
diversity at previously all–white institutions of higher learning, such as the University of Texas at
Austin, and that diversity has allowed friendships to be formed that otherwise would not have been,
has allowed students to learn from professors they otherwise would never have and allowed
professors to learn from students from a wide variety of

The Most Important Part Of Their Job Is Writing Briefs Essay
A lawyers job is to defend their client and help them out of any situation. Lawyers have many task
they have to perform in order to help their client like going to trial, looking in the clients pass to
help with the situation, and many other things. The most important part of their job is writing briefs.
Writing briefs take time and research, so when the judge review the case they would make the
correct decision. Each practice of law do not have a specific brief assigned to them, but there are
many types of briefs to consider. The different forms of briefs are; appellate brief, legal brief,
amicus curiae, memorandum of law, and trial brief. The most effective and the most detailed brief is
the appellate brief. The appellate brief is used in appeals court to persuade the judges and jurors. The
appeal court it the second court above the lower court. Lawyers file an appeal because they believe
that the decision made in the lower courts was not fair and they would like to go to trial again. Most
trials don 't go to the appeals court unless the case is a civil case, criminal case, and or a bankruptcy
case (USCourt). During most bankruptcy cases the appellants will have to write a appellate brief.
While civil and criminal cases may appeal to the verdict. Once the decision is made in the appeals
court its final, unless the parties want the U.S Supreme Court to view the case. If the case is
submitted to the appeals court then the lawyers will have to start preparing for the

He 'd probably watched Fight Club one too many times growing up, both the novel and the film had
a marked impact on Trent 's band and indeed his public persona. It 'd been a rocky road for him to
reach that place, and the character that he played was one born from necessity. Trent 's father was a
lifelong biker, and the president of a prominent outlaw MC in California. The man sold drugs,
pimped out girls and did a little bit of everything and he 'd been a convict for much of his son 's
early years. As a result, Trent was forced to grow up in group homes, and abuse from his caretakers

Much of the band 's direction came from him, and he was the de facto leader of the group. There
were two brothers in the group, both were Mexican–Americans and they 'd lived their entire lives in
the L.A area just as Trent had. They were the drummer and one of the guitarists respectively. The
white guy was named Jackson and he was a longtime friend of Trent 's and another one of the
guitarists, he was an especially liberal minded giant of a guy that stood about 6 '8" and was covered
head to toe in tattoos. Of everyone in the group, he was the most hardcore against any sort of racism
and before blowing big, his claim to fame was being televised nationally at a riot, where he punched
a Nazi sympathizer in the face quite hard. He drank like a fish, but was otherwise a sweetheart with
a new family of his own, and Trent was proud to be godfather to his twins. Their bassist was Trent 's
cousin Reggie who had come from a family of musicians. In addition they had two more members,
one was an Asian–American young man who everyone called kid and the other was a black woman

The scene in the novel where all the porno cinemas were bombed and burned to the ground was
somewhat important in the fact that it showed to state of anarchy our country is in, in this novel. The
movie neglected to use that scene in to the movie version of "The Pelican Brief." The burning down
of the porno cinemas gave an example and showed how the "Underground Military" worked. This in
a sense excluded them from the list of suspects do to there expert use of explosives. If they had
indeed were the killers of the two Chief Justices they most likely would of stuck to there area of
expertise, explosives. The main difference between the novel and the movie is that in the novel you
are introduced to more characters and there involvement in the story is explained. The movie doesn't
really introduce u as well as the novel does and this makes it harder to follow what is going on in the
movie version. It is harder in a movie to introduce a character but it seemed that it was poorly don in

ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be a party. In all
other cases, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction." If it had been intended to leave it
in the discretion of the Legislature to apportion the judicial power between the Supreme and inferior
courts according to the will of that body, this section is mere surplusage and is entirely without
meaning. If Congress remains at liberty to give this court appellate jurisdiction where the
Constitution has declared their jurisdiction shall be original, and original jurisdiction where the
Constitution has declared it shall be appellate, the distribution of jurisdiction made in the
Constitution, is form without substance. 5. No. The Supreme Court does not have original
jurisdiction to issue writs of mandamus.
To enable this court then to issue a mandamus, it must be shown to be an exercise of appellate
jurisdiction, or to be necessary to enable them to exercise appellate jurisdiction.
It is the essential criterion of appellate jurisdiction that it revises and corrects the proceedings in a
cause already instituted, and does not create that case. Although, therefore, a mandamus may be
directed to courts, yet to issue such a writ to an officer for the delivery of a paper is, in effect, the
same as to sustain an original

The World Trade Organization ( Wto ) Agreements
The World Trade Organization (WTO) deals with the global rules of trade between nations. It is
mainly responsible for ensuring that the trade flows smoothly, predictably and freely. The principal
objective of WTO is upliftment of the standard of living internationally; it does activities
surrounding the same.
When Ministers had adopted the Marrakesh Agreement they had also decided to include a specific
reference to Non–Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Article V: 2. The General Council
additionally clarified the framework for relations with NGOs by adopting a set of guidelines
(WT/L/162) which "recognizes the role NGOs can play to increase the awareness of the public in

Symposia
Since 1996, a number of symposia have been arranged by the Secretariat for NGOs on particular
issues of interest to civil society, namely, three on trade and the environment, one on trade and
development and one on trade facilitation. These symposia have provided, on a relaxed basis, the
opening for NGOs to discuss certain specific issues with representatives of WTO Member countries.
Day–to–day Contact
The WTO Secretariat receives a huge number of requests per day from NGOs, from all over the
world and Secretariat staff meets with NGOs on a habitual basis – both individually and as a part of
NGO organized events.
The annual report of the World Trade Organization corroborates the growing official relationship
between civil society and trade. Tucked away in a silent corner of the report is the reason that the
number of NGOs attending the WTO ministerial increased many times over, from 108 at the
Singapore ministerial in 1996 to 811 in the Hong Kong ministerial, nine years later.
The growth that occurred in the Seattle ministerial can be attributed to the mobilization of NGOs
that were in fact against the WTO. Indeed, at several points in that ministerial, including its
abandoned inauguration, official NGO delegates attempted to disrupt proceedings.
The role of NGO's in the panel proceedings has been recognized recently but their potential on how

Other then fair consideration, there are also other specifications required in order for the covenant to
be enforced. (1) The employer must prove there is a legitimate business interest at risk by the
employee; (2) Public policy must remain unaffected by the covenant; (3) The restrictions of the

Thus the court must then, pursuant to Sect. 61.075 divide the equitable value of the property equally,
unless there is reason to do otherwise. In this case, the Former Husband attempted to argue the asset
should still be treated differently because he only placed the Former Wife's name on the title in the
event of his demise. Even if the Court were to use that argument, the law still entitles the Former
Wife to equitable distribution of the asset because the increased value of the asset was based on the
joint efforts of both spouses as the Former Husband In making its findings the court looked at the
facts the parties used their joint checking account to make the mortgage payments and the parties
used marital monies to add a pool and replace the roof. Thus equity required that the increased value

Elements of Intentional Tort Tort law enables citizens to seek reimbursement for loss and or
suffering from conduct that would be deemed dangerous or unreasonable of others (3). Tort law is
non criminal and is dealt with in our civil judicial system. The categories of Tort Law include
intentional tort, negligence and strict liability. An intentional tort case is proved by the plaintiff
showing that the defendant intentionally injured him/her (1). In a negligence case, the plaintiff
shows that the defendant did not act carefully as the law requires and therefore should be liable for
any damages to the plaintiff (1). The strict liability cases occur when a plaintiff suffers damages
even though the defendant acted carefully and with no intent of harm being done to them (1). During
a trial the plaintiff will attempt to prove their case by the presentation of evidence to the trier of fact.
The evidence usually includes testimony of persons involved; witnesses as well as physical things
such as pictures, documentation/records, recordings etc...

lesser included offense of assault in the third degree, and exclusion of the prior inconsistent
statement of a witness. Yes. The appellate court affirmed the judgment of the lower court and upheld
the defendant 's conviction The court had reason that these facts, taken together, constitute evidence
of presence at the scene, participation in a show of force, association, during the attack, and flight.
This evidence also supports the inference that the Mace was sprayed to incapacitate Mr. Tucker, so
as to allow Mr. Anderson and the others to leave the crime scene without restraint or further
identification of the attacker or his vehicle. This evidence is fully sufficient to support the jury 's
finding that Mr. Kobel was an accomplice in acting with Mr. Anderson with a common intent and

In Block v. Rutherford, 468 U. S. 576 (1984), it was concluded that banning contact visits would be
beneficial since visitors can conceal prohibited items and they can easily be transferred to the
inmates through close contact and it would be too difficult to tell which inmates have violent
tendencies as the inmate population is constantly changing. A new inmate can pose numerous risks
to the staff and existing detainee population. Therefore, it is important that correctional officers
conduct a thorough search as part of their standard procedure for all new inmates. Incoming inmates
need to be searched in order to detect any concealed contraband that may disrupt the safety and
operation of a jail as well as treating individuals who may have wounds or visual infections.
Decision: The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeals of the Third Circuit
holding that strip searches do not violate the Fourth Amendment. They concluded that due to the
likelihood of inmates smuggling illegal/prohibited items, it was reasonable that the facilities
conducted thorough searches in order to maintain the safety and order of the institutions. Comments:
New Jersey Law mandated that there needed to be a suspicion

Analysis Of The Article ' The Pelican Brief '
The Wetlands In Grisham's novel, The Pelican Brief, he presents a case where an organization
attempts to protect the coastal marshes of Louisiana against the selfish oil companies and citizens
that wish to destroy it for money. This is a tremendous concern that people deal with in America.
John Grisham wrote The Pelican Brief, in 1992 and it was one of his best selling books. Louisiana's
marshes are being destroyed and are suffering greatly because of humans. Grisham shows extensive
knowledge of the wetlands as well as the wildlife through discussing the endangered Brown Pelican
and how humans have brought it to the brink of extinction. Numberless amounts of waterfowl, birds,
and countless species that call Louisiana home are now being terrorized thanks to non–native
species, humans and a numerous amount of different causes. The Brown Pelican, Louisiana's state
bird, has been endangered until 1995, and about half of all the geese in North America spend the
winter in the coastal marshes (Elliott, Charles). Additionally, Louisiana is the leading state for the
number of wintering ducks (¨SGP¨). The marshes are extremely important to the fowl that live there
year round and for the ones that do not. The Bobwhite Quail, that live there year round, have
suffered huge losses to their population. From 1966 they have declined 75%, primarily due to
habitat degradation (¨SGP¨). One of the reasons populations of fowl have been going down is the
result of invasive species. The common

An Effective Purpose For Special Interest Groups And...
1.) When there is a case that a particular interest group has interest in, comes before the court, a
group has the option to file an amicus curiae brief to better present the groups breakdown of the
case. Now the impact that amicus curiae can have is that it brings policy perspective to the courts in
a way that a party's own individual brief may be unable to do so (White). The amicus curiae briefs
serve an effective purpose of advocating for special interest groups and in public business affairs.
There are circumstances in which these types of briefs could be needed to represent a client more
effectively, such as when appearing before the United States Supreme Court (White). A group will
utilize the amicus brief as a way to lobby the courts. These briefs serve a purpose of advising the
court in terms of policy ramifications and problems from a particular interest group's stance, all
while guiding the court to a fair and impartial decision. The amicus serves the role for an advocate,
but it is more effective if not acting in self–interest, but rather as means to serve others. Groups that
try to sway the decision making of the Supreme Court have been utilizing amicus briefs more often
as a tool of the court (Witte). Winning in the courts can be seen as a game of chess. Interest groups
know the game as well as anybody in the system. The amicus curiae briefs allow for these special
groups to play the game more effectively and is, in a sense, another tool at their disposal

Mr. Bullock requested an appeal on the basis of entrapment and sufficiency of evidence. The appeal
was granted and [The court determined] that [the defendant] in fact took substantial steps toward

Mr. Brooks did not admit to committing the crimes and it was not proven that the commission of

Appeal Court affirmed.

are there distinguishable characteristics of acts that can be considered as "substantial steps" when it

that he was only expressing his fantasies (which he was not charged or convicted of) and would not

Mr. Skilling had been the C.E.O. of Enron Corp. Mr. Skilling appealed, he argued he was prosecuted
by the government under an invalid legal theory and that the jury he had was biased.
III. Issues
Mr. Skilling argued that voir dire lasted only five hours and did not sufficiently question jurors. This
argument from Mr. Skilling failed because the record from the court showed that voir dire was
completed properly. Mr. Skilling also argued that the court should have never tried him in Houston.
Mr. Skilling pointed out prior cases where the Court decided that due to extreme media coverage
there was a possibility of juror prejudice that required the courts to change the venue. However, I
believe that Mr. Skilling's case differs from these prior cases which were all in small communities,
had media coverage that showed the defendant confessions, and trials that occurred right after the
crime and media coverage.
I also believe that Skilling's jury acquitted him of several charges, due to this face I believe that it is
very unlikely that there was any juror prejudice. Even though the media coverage of Skilling seems
to all be positive, I do not believe that it was not to the necessary level to show that there would be
juror prejudice. Due to all of these reasons, I do not believe that the district court made any errors by
denying Skilling's request for a venue change.

Koppersmith's testimony of his actions portrayed a picture of unintentional events. The judge
referred to the Woods case, " there was some evidence that the appellant failed to perceive the risk
that the victim might die as a result of his actions." Because there was evidence that gave a
reasonable theory that would have supported the jury receiving instructions on criminally negligent
homicide, there was error in the trial court not giving the jury the instructions. Therefore the
judgment was reversed and the case was remanded for a new trial.
Case Significance:
The court deciphering between criminal negligence and recklessness. Criminal negligence being a
person failing to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the result will occur or that the
circumstance exists. The risk must be of such nature and degree that the failure to perceive it
constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the
situation.

offenses included in the indictment, when there is a reasonable theory from the evidence that
