Brown v Board of Ed. Topeka Kansas (1954) by Alexes Mercado http://www.watson.org/~lisa/blackhistory/early
–civilrights/brown.html The 14th
Amendment states: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and
of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United
States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws. In the early 1950's, racial segregation in public schools was normal all across America. Although all the schools were...

Another main argument was that "separate but equal doctrine" was not effective because the accommodations for blacks' educational institutions were
far inferior to those of white. Expert witness, Dr. Hugh W. Speer testified as follows: "...if the colored children are denied the experience in school of
associating with white children, who represent 90 percent of our national society in which these colored children must live, then the colored child's
curriculum is being greatly curtailed. The Topeka curriculum or any school curriculum cannot be equal under segregation." The Board of Education's
defense was that segregated schools simply prepared black children for the segregation they would face during adulthood. The Board further argued that
segregated schools were not necessarily harmful to black children because many great African Americans, such as Booker T. Washington, and George
Washington Carver had overcome more than just segregated schools to achieve what they achieved. They also added that even though the 14th
Amendment did not specifically include a ban on segregated education, at the time it was enacted, there was no public education system in the country
at the time. Therefore, they would argue that the 14th Amendment would naturally not have addressed

EB-2 Immigrant Summary
Summary:
EB–2 classification is a status request professionally skilled, non–residents can use to petition for permanent US citizenship.

Non–resident individuals, who hold certain professional degrees, are eligible to apply for EB–2 classification. Other basic requirements to qualify for
this status are for the applicants to exhibit remarkable skills in the fields of science, art or business that will considerably improve the national
economic agenda.

qualifying educational credentials from an accredited United States institution of higher learning, its foreign equivalent or a combination of both. The
petitioner must also provide proof of a minimum of five years of advanced work history in the field the visa will permit allow to the petitioner to pursue.

The Hearing Officer has no jurisdiction to rule on whether Petitioner is, or is not, entitled to attorney's fees under the IDEA, nor whether he is entitled
to attorney's fees under any other law. The District requests that all claims for attorney's fees be struck and dismissed.
3.The request for due process hearing is to state the issues for hearing. The request reserves the "right to supplement" the request once the Student's
education records are received. There is no right to supplement the request for hearing. If the Petitioner attempts to change the issues for the hearing,
and the Hearing Officer allows amendment of the due process hearing request, all timelines, including the resolution period will start over again.

Internal Revenue Service Case Study
Statement of Facts
Four residents from Virginia challenged the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) final rule and interpretation regarding the implementation of the premium
tax credit provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The IRS' final rule authorized tax credits not only for purchases of on
state–established health insurance, but also purchases on the exchange established by the federal government, for states opted not to establish their
own. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia granted the government's motion to dismiss the case. The four residents
appealed, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the District Court's decision. The residents appealed to the Supreme
Court, and they granted certiorari. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The act allows for each state to establish its own exchange, or if the state chooses not to establish one, then according to the ACA, the federal
government will establish "such exchange." One of the provisions of the ACA is that individuals are required to maintain health insurance coverage
through an exchange or make a payment to the IRS, unless the cost of the coverage would exceed eight percent of the individual's income. The ACA
also provides tax credits for any "applicable taxpayer" but as long as they sign up through "an exchange established by the state." The IRS interpreted
the act as allowing tax credits for taxpayers who signed up for either the state–established exchange or the federal exchange. Virginia is one of the
states that is part of the federal exchange. The four residents do not believe they should receive the tax credits since they are in a state that is part of
the federal exchange, and therefore would not be required to maintain health insurance coverage since their cost would exceed eight percent of their
income

Consulta failed to show that she worked definite hours. The amount of time, the methods and means, the management and maintenance of her sales
division were left to her sound judgment. Finally, Pamana paid Consulta not for labor she performed but only for the results of her labor. Without
results, Consulta's labor was her own burden and loss. Her right to compensation, or to commission, depended on the tangible results of her work –
whether she brought in paying recruits. The fact that the appointment required Consulta to solicit business exclusively for Pamana did not mean
Pamana exercised control over the means and methods of Consulta's work as the term control is understood in labor jurisprudence. Neither did it make
Consulta an employee of Pamana. Pamana did not prohibit Consulta from engaging in any other business, or from being connected with any other

God Is An All Loving By Michael J. Murray And Kurt Myers
Theists, people who believe in the existence of God, often are required to pray to God in order to obtain certain benefits and provisions. It is
believed that these things wouldn't come to God's believers unless they take the role as a petitioner and pray. These believers know God to be an
all–loving being. However, if this is the case, a major problem arises for both atheists and theists alike; "Why would God bestow the good only if
asked to bestow it" and "Why does God not grant the good irrespective of whether some person ask for it?" Michael J. Murray and Kurt Myers attempt
at answer these questions in support of theism through "Ask and I Will Be Given to You." Although they do a great job showing the benefits that arise

They do this through a peculiar example of a very dirty child who obviously has not had a bath in a while. When a teacher speculates why this child
is so dirty they are surprised to find out it is because the parents will not give their children anything unless the children directly ask for it. So, unless
the child asks for a bath, they will never receive one. Why do the parents, our in our case God, require requests for certain benefits? Murray and
Meyers explain that there are two major reasons as to why petitionary prayer is required. Firstly, they explain that there is good that comes from
petitionary prayer that would not come about otherwise. Secondly, they explain that there is harm that would come about without petitionary prayer
that is worse then any harm caused by it.
Firstly, Murray and Meyers proposed that there are some serious benefits that come as results of petitionary prayer that couldn't come about any
other way. The first positive effect discussed in this article is that petitionary prayer keeps the petitioner from worshipping idols. This is because,
even if the petitioner's needs, such as the need for food, could be met by sources other than God, such as a grocery store, God still is the ultimate
provider. This is true given that God created the foods that the grocery store provides. Therefore, the petitioner cannot look solely at nature and other
resources of provisions as their providers, but at God. Secondly, petitionary prayer allows

The Court Of A Public Telephone Booth
On the date of February 4th, 1965, believing that the Petitioner had been using public pay phones to transmit illegal gambling wagers from Los
Angeles to Miami and Boston, the Federal Bureau of Investigation began their surveillance into the life of the Petitioner, Charles Katz. Fifteen days
later on February 19th, 1965 FBI agents working the case against the Petitioner had gained access to a phone booth within a set of phone booths that
the petitioner frequented on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and summarily recorded the petitioner's side of conversations he was having on the
phone within a booth nearby. This surveillance lasted until the 25th (excluding February 22, as no evidence was obtained due to technical difficulties)
the date of the petitioner's arrest, which took place immediately after he exited the same set of phone booths (Brief for Respondent 3). In this case
there are two major constitutional questions which need to be addressed: (1) whether evidence obtained by attaching an electronic listening and
recording device to the top of a public telephone booth used and occupied by the Petitioner is gathered in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and (2)
whether the search warrant used by the FBI officers in this case violated the Fourth Amendment to the constitution in that the warrant was (a) not
founded on probable cause; (b) an evidentiary search warrant and (c) a general search warrant. While the Petitioner would like the answer to be yes in

Case Name: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Petitioner v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc., No. 14–86 (2015)
Factual History: Ms. Samantha Elauf is a woman who is a practicing Muslim applied for a job at Abercrombie & Fitch Co., which is a national
chain of clothing stores. Elauf was interviewed by the store's assistant manager Heather Cooke, and her interview so went well that it appeared to
Elauf that she was going to get the job. Heather Cooke, the store manager who interviewed Samantha liked her and recommended that she be hired.
Cooke gave Elauf a rating, which qualified her to be hired, however, she was concerned that her headscarf would conflict with Abercrombie's
employee dress policy. The headscarf that she wore according to her religious obligations conflicted with the store's "look policy". Cooke turned to
Randall Johnson, the district manager, and informed Johnson that she believed Elauf wore her headscarf because of her faith. She wanted to
determine whether or not the headscarf was in violation of this policy. Randall Johnson informed Cooke that Elauf's wearing headscarf would violate
the "look policy", and therefore that Elauf should not be hired. As a result, Elauf didn't get hired by Abercrombie & Fitch Co.

people, not places, does this protect the conversations in a public location, but where the reasonable expectation of privacy is apparent. Holding and
Judgment: –Yes, the placement of an electronic listening device in a public location, but where a reasonable expectation of privacy is upheld is a
fourth amendment violation, which will require a warrant "search and seize" the private conversations. –The conviction was overturned, the evidence
against the petitioner was deemed to be a fourth amendment violation and excluded from the case against him. Ruling: –When a person has a
reasonable expectation of privacy in their conversations, the conversations are protected by the fourth amendment. The government will require a

STATEMENT: Did Burlington allow one individual, Marvin Brown, to make an unethical business decision to retaliate against employee Sheila
White? 3.SUPPORT FOR ETHICAL ISSUES: As stated in the case, Burlington did not "question the jury's determination that the motivation for
these acts was retaliatory." Inferring that this is an admission of guilt by Burlington, one can conclude that a deliberate business decision to
retaliate outweighed any legal ramifications. The job for which Sheila White was hired was by her own admission too tough for her to perform. "I
was moving spike cans that weighed 150 pounds; I was unloading plates and loading plates," she said. "On the forklift I was pretty much stable
because I knew exactly what I was doing. But the date that they took me off that forklift and put me in the yard to work with the mens, I didn't know
the first thing about it. And everything out there is hot and heavy. You could easily get killed or hurt out there." The facts stated in the case indicate
that White was not a forklift operator immediately upon hire but took on that job role within a few weeks. (Obviously from her statement above, she
was struggling from the outset to perform duties as a track laborer.) The hiring manager, Marvin Brown, may have

which was originally attained in a foreign country. The Internal Revenue Service disallowed the deduction of the education expenses stating they are

The investigation brought about the dissolution of the firm. Mr. Lomanno became fearful that this investigation would expose his embezzlement
scheme. He decided to seek legal advice and he contacted a criminal attorney. The matter was taken up with the office of the US Attorney. He
confessed for all his wrong doings and was offered a plea bargain which had a condition that he file his returns for the year 1986, 1987, and 1988
which had not being filed. The income from embezzlement was reported as "other income" and was in tunes of $45,007 for 1987 and $15,005 for

Issues: What is the appropriate standard of review for evaluating on free speech aimed at protecting the rights of women seeking abortion services? Do
the expanded provisions of the injunction protecting the immediate surroundings of the clinic unconstitutionally restrict petitioner's free speech rights?
Do the restrictions establishing a buffer zone around the homes of clinic staff violated the First Amendment? Answers of Holdings: Due to the
consent–neutral restriction, the Court determined that the terms of the injunction should be in which determining whether they burden no more speech
than is necessary to serve important state interests. The restrictions was upheld and overturned in some parts. The Court found that the 36 foot buffer

Abstract Since 2003, many Chinese citizens have been detained in extralegal detention facilities throughout the country known as "black jails."
Detainees within these jails, which are created for the purpose of detaining petitioners who seek rectification for problems at local and provincial levels
of government, are subjected to a multitude of physical and psychological abuses. This paper analyzes the conditions that caused these detention
facilities to appear, assesses the abuses and rights violations perpetuated by these jails, and offers several potential steps that American policymakers
can take to address this issue.Introduction In 2003, China abolished a state–sanctioned system of extrajudicial detention known as "shourong." Since...

In recent years, the central government has prioritized reducing the number of petitioners that come to Beijing. In order to do this, the State Bureau for
Letters and Visits has begun to penalize officials that oversee ineffective local and regional petition offices. These penalties are levied when these
officials fail to resolve petitioners' complaints before they advance them to higher–level offices; the punishments themselves can range from mild
reprimands to career–jeopardizing public criticisms. As a result of these penalties, officials have a financial incentive to curb the flow of petitioners to
Beijing. In response to this financial incentive, local and provincial–level officials have developed a system of extralegal detention to ensure that
petitioners are intercepted and secretly detained before they are detected seeking legal redress in Beijing. Once petitioners are abducted, they are
transported to black jails. Government employees are sometimes involved in this process, but in most instances, abductions and detentions are carried
out by private security forces that are paid by local and provincial governments. Private enterprises are also involved in the operation of these

Katz V. United States

17 November 2014
Katz v. United States (1967) On the date of February 4th, 1965, believing that the Petitioner had been using public pay phones to transmit illegal
gambling wagers from Los Angeles to Miami and Boston, the Federal Bureau of Investigation began their surveillance into the life of the Petitioner,
Charles Katz. Fifteen days later on February 19th, 1965 FBI agents working the case against the Petitioner had gained access to a phone booth within a
set of phone booths that the petitioner frequented on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and summarily recorded the petitioner's side of conversations
he was having on the phone within a booth nearby. This surveillance lasted until the 25th (excluding February 22, as no evidence was obtained due to
technical difficulties) the date of the petitioner's arrest, which took place immediately after he exited the same set of phone booths. In this case there
are two major constitutional questions which need to be addressed: (1) whether evidence obtained by attaching an electronic listening and recording
device to the top of a public telephone booth used and occupied by the Petitioner is gathered in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and (2) whether the
search warrant used by the FBI officers in this case violated the Fourth Amendment to the constitution in that the warrant was (a) not founded on

The failure of a parent to comply with the provisions of this section may be considered as a factor if a change of custody is requested by the

В§ 125C.200 violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by restricting a custodial parent's fundamental right to travel. The trial
court also concluded that even if В§ 125C.200 was constitutional, the mother was still permitted to relocate the minor child to New Jersey, based on the
career and educational opportunities available... and the ability to maintain reasonable visitation with the father". In McGuinness v. McGuinness, 114

The job market leveled out, and the city was unable to accommodate the number of people looking to work in Aston, resulting in a drastic increase in
the city's homeless and unemployed population. The city's extensive efforts to revitalize the sleepy city into a thriving metropolitan had gone awry, as
many homeless individuals began congregating in large numbers in and around the Square. Business owners, residents, and visitors to the city began
noticing an increase in the number of homeless people panhandling and begging in the Square. Due to the increase in homeless people assembling in
and around the city's main attractions, local government officials began receiving numerous complaints that people visiting the Square felt unsafe,
particularly in the twilight and nighttime hours. As a result, the restaurants and shops in the area experienced a sharp decrease in business, something
many residents ascribed to the unwanted harassment patrons experienced from panhandlers. Noticing that the city's panhandling issue was having an
impact on the city, residents petitioned the City of Aston government to enact an ordinance to address the rising homeless population in downtown
Aston. Heeding the residents' concerns, the Aston City Council ("Council") enacted section 06–79 of the Aston City Code ("City Ordinance") as a
response to the panhandling problem and as a means of discouraging the homeless from congregating near the Square.

was while he was in employment. And therefore the compensation to be given was fixed as RS.23100. But the Counsel said that the workman had

the compensated amount. The insurer is liable to pay the amount only of the employer becomes insolvent or if the employer is an organization then at
the time of winding up. But in this case no liability is fixed on the insurer to pay the amount since the risk was covered by a policy. The provisions

before he was scheduled for a hearing on unpaid child support, which was tied into a paternity suit between Kulbicki and his mistress. At Kulbicki's
trial, which began in 1995, evidence was presented that the bullet removed from the head of Kulbicki's mistress matched the bullet fragment that was
left in Kulbicki's truck. FBI Agent Ernest Peele, who represented the CBLA (Comparative Bullet Lead Analysis), presented this evidence. Peele also
examined a bullet taken from Kulbicki's gun. Even though the bullet in the victim's brain was not an "exact" match to the bullet found in the gun, Peele

Kulbicki's file stayed in the state court until 2006, when Kulbicki added an additional claim that his defense attorneys did not adequately question the
legitimacy of the ballistics evidence presented by the CBLA. Kulbucki lost in the state courts and then appealed to the Court of Appeals of Maryland.
The Court of Appeals then vacated Kulbucki's conviction based on the fact that Kulbucki's attorneys did not question the legitimacy of the ballistics
evidence, thus the defense attorneys did not provide Kulbucki with effective assistance during the trial. However, the Supreme Court of the United
States held, in a per curiam opnion, that the Court of Appeals based the decision to vacate Kulbicki's conviction on contemporary views of ballistic
evidence. Since there was no reason for counsel to investigate the validity of the ballistic evidence in 1995, the attorneys provided effective assistance
to Kulbicki because effective assistance did not require attorneys to verify the legitimacy of the ballistic evidence (Maryland v. Kulbicki, 136 S. Ct. 2

Public Safety Outweigh Petitioner 's First Amendment Right
C.The interest of public safety outweighs Petitioner's First Amendment right to record.
Petitioner's recording posed an unreasonable risk to bystanders, passing motorist, and the police, essentially creating an inherently dangerous situation.
Kelly v. Borough of Carlisle, 622 F.3d 248, 262 (3d Cir. 2010). The Third Circuit has firmly recognized that traffic stops are especially fraught with
danger to police officers. Id. A traffic stop always poses danger because of its unpredictable nature, but even more so, when a potential suspect is on
the loose. Petitioner was a suspect for a crime of several residential break–ins, which a reasonable office would assume is armed and dangerous; thus
creating a heightened risk to the officers' safety. Furthermore, the Petitioner was stopped on the side of a road congested with traffic. If the officers do
not maintain control of the situation, any unpredictable movement could result in grave injury; therefore, the police officers acted reasonably by
minimizing the unnecessary danger added by Petitioner's recording during an already dangerous situation.
D.Petitioner's recording is not a matter of public interest that carried any expressive or communicative purpose.
The encounter Petitioner recorded is not a matter of public interest. Although there is a broad First Amendment right to film matters of public interest,

In reality, as other Hearing Officers have found, there is no such distinction. For the sake of this response, the District responds to the issues generally,
and according to the described sub–issues listed by specific letters as follows: (Sub–issue a): Did the District fail to implement the IEP as written or
change the IEP without parental input? No. Under the IDEA students are entitled to a free and appropriate public education which conforms to the
student's individual education program. Under the IDEA and federal precedent, one of the factors used in determining whether a school district
substantively and procedurally provided a FAPE to a student is whether the services provided to the student conformed to his or her IEP as it was
written. (20 U.S.C. В§ 1400). Under Rowley and state and federal statutes, the standard for determining whether a district's provision of services
substantively and procedurally provided a FAPE involves four factors: (1) the services must be designed to meet the student's unique needs; (2) the
services must be reasonably designed to provide some educational benefit; (3) the services must conform to the IEP as written; and, (4) the program
offered must be designed to provide the student with the foregoing in the least restrictive environment. While this requires a school district to provide a

store, police separately arrested clerks Richard Pope and Charles Morrison. Both men were charged and convicted for selling obscene materials, in
accordance with an Illinois statute. On appeal, both petitioners argued that the Illinois statute was unconstitutional to both the first and Fourteenth

conformance with the Miller decision, and the juries in this case had been instructed to judge whether the material had value as viewed by ordinary

Upon being released after serving his sentence for the crime committed in 2006 the petitioner was called to a hearing on May 14, 2013 North Carolina
to determine whether or not he would be subjected to join a global positioning system monitoring program. Under North Carolina General Statutes

The Debate Between Mark Steyn And The Muslim Petitioners...
Under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, everyone is guaranteed certain rights. One that stands out and is essential to our society is the fundamental
freedom of expression. Anyone can speak their opinion in public. However, the government can in some instances limit these freedoms. The question
that causes a lot of debate is in what instances can the government genuinely limit people's rights while being justified in doing so. I believe the
restrictions on speech in Canada are appropriate. I believe that the government was correct in not intervening with the debate between Mark Steyn and
the Muslim petitioners because his article did not warrant enough to risk the safety of Muslims, and by coercing Maclean's to post an opposing
viewpoint would be a violation of their fundamental freedom of expression. Per Mill's framework the government should not intervene in this case.
Mill's belief is that government intervention should only occur when there is physical harm. In this case, there is no physical harm, but there is offence
as Muslims are targeted by the article. Mill believes that if something is offensive, society cannot do anything about it but avoid it or try to persuade the
author to believe otherwise. The students attempted to persuade Maclean's that the opinion stated in Steyn's argument was incorrect and hateful, and to
post an opposing view but had no luck. I believe the students should have then just informed people in Canada that Maclean's is offensive, and

  • 1. Essay on Legal Writing Graded Project 2 Brown v Board of Ed. Topeka Kansas (1954) by Alexes Mercado http://www.watson.org/~lisa/blackhistory/early –civilrights/brown.html The 14th Amendment states: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. In the early 1950's, racial segregation in public schools was normal all across America. Although all the schools were... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Another main argument was that "separate but equal doctrine" was not effective because the accommodations for blacks' educational institutions were far inferior to those of white. Expert witness, Dr. Hugh W. Speer testified as follows: "...if the colored children are denied the experience in school of associating with white children, who represent 90 percent of our national society in which these colored children must live, then the colored child's curriculum is being greatly curtailed. The Topeka curriculum or any school curriculum cannot be equal under segregation." The Board of Education's defense was that segregated schools simply prepared black children for the segregation they would face during adulthood. The Board further argued that segregated schools were not necessarily harmful to black children because many great African Americans, such as Booker T. Washington, and George Washington Carver had overcome more than just segregated schools to achieve what they achieved. They also added that even though the 14th Amendment did not specifically include a ban on segregated education, at the time it was enacted, there was no public education system in the country at the time. Therefore, they would argue that the 14th Amendment would naturally not have addressed ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Other basic requirements to qualify for this status are for the applicants to exhibit remarkable skills in the fields of science, art or business that will considerably improve the national economic agenda.

On April 20, 2105, a date agreed upon with Travis's mother, the parties attended a ARD committee meeting to discuss continued placement and services until such time that a comprehensive evaluation could be completed. At this time, the District has assigned approximately–trained professionals to conduct the agreed–up and parentally approved assessments. Once the assessments are completed, the ARD committee will appropriately consider the results and develop an appropriate educational program reasonably calculated to provide Travis with educational benefit in his least restrictive environment.

The Hearing Officer has no jurisdiction to rule on whether Petitioner is, or is not, entitled to attorney's fees under the IDEA, nor whether he is entitled to attorney's fees under any other law. The District requests that all claims for attorney's fees be struck and dismissed. 3.The request for due process hearing is to state the issues for hearing. The request reserves the "right to supplement" the request once the Student's education records are received. There is no right to supplement the request for hearing. If the Petitioner attempts to change the issues for the hearing, and the Hearing Officer allows amendment of the due process hearing request, all timelines, including the resolution period will start over again. 4.The District denies that Petitioner is entitled to any of the relief requested, including private placement or reimbursement for private placement. If Petitioner seeks to amend the request for hearing to add additional relief, all timelines, including the resolution period, begin again assuming the Hearing Officer allows amendment. 5.Petitioner is not entitled to the appointment of an expert at public expense under 34 C.F.R.

Petitioners Motion To Dismiss: Case Study I.The District Court's denial of Petitioners' Motion to Dismiss is reviewed de novo, and may be affirmed on any ground that is supported by the record. Am. Int'l Enterprises, Inc. v. F.D.I.C., 3 F.3d 1263, 1266 (9th Cir. 1993). Under a de novo standard of review, the appellate court reviews a decision on a question of law anew, and need not give deference to the legal conclusions or assumptions made by the previous court to hear the case.

  • 7. Internal Revenue Service Case Study Statement of Facts Four residents from Virginia challenged the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) final rule and interpretation regarding the implementation of the premium tax credit provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The IRS' final rule authorized tax credits not only for purchases of on state–established health insurance, but also purchases on the exchange established by the federal government, for states opted not to establish their own. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia granted the government's motion to dismiss the case. The four residents appealed, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the District Court's decision. The residents appealed to the Supreme Court, and they granted certiorari. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The act allows for each state to establish its own exchange, or if the state chooses not to establish one, then according to the ACA, the federal government will establish "such exchange." One of the provisions of the ACA is that individuals are required to maintain health insurance coverage through an exchange or make a payment to the IRS, unless the cost of the coverage would exceed eight percent of the individual's income. The ACA also provides tax credits for any "applicable taxpayer" but as long as they sign up through "an exchange established by the state." The IRS interpreted the act as allowing tax credits for taxpayers who signed up for either the state–established exchange or the federal exchange. Virginia is one of the states that is part of the federal exchange. The four residents do not believe they should receive the tax credits since they are in a state that is part of the federal exchange, and therefore would not be required to maintain health insurance coverage since their cost would exceed eight percent of their income The issue and arguments on both sides of the ...

After noticing a fierce division in the community over the recent political events, the school proactively created the conference to both facilitate peaceful conversations about the political climate and to help teach the students how to express their opinions in appropriate ways. This is not the first occasion in which Petitioner has had a submission to "Our voice" be barred for publication. Throughout the past three years, Petitioner has submitted several articles to "Our voice," out of which three have been rejected, including the current article in controversy, for containing "threatening language," "graphic message" and "potential to incite violence."

  • 9. 270 S. W3d 13 Summary The petitioner argues that the use of Briseno factors violates the eighth amendment because it may allow for the execution of the intellectually disabled because they contradict the medically accepted definition of intellectually disabled. While appealing to the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas, the petitioner argued, "that the trial court erred in failing to disregard thejury's answer to the mental–retardation special issue and in denying the appellant's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict." 270 S.W3d 13 (Tex. Cr. App. 2010). The petitioner argued that "because he introduced expert witnesses to demonstrate mental retardation and the State did not introduce its own expert witnesses in rebuttal, the trial court should have disregarded the jury's answer to the mental–retardation special issue or granted his motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict." 270 S.W.3d 13 (Tex.

The amount of time, the methods and means, the management and maintenance of her sales division were left to her sound judgment. Finally, Pamana paid Consulta not for labor she performed but only for the results of her labor. Without results, Consulta's labor was her own burden and loss. Her right to compensation, or to commission, depended on the tangible results of her work – whether she brought in paying recruits. The fact that the appointment required Consulta to solicit business exclusively for Pamana did not mean Pamana exercised control over the means and methods of Consulta's work as the term control is understood in labor jurisprudence. Neither did it make Consulta an employee of Pamana. Pamana did not prohibit Consulta from engaging in any other business, or from being connected with any other company, for as long as the business or company did not compete with Pamana's business.

  • 13. God Is An All Loving By Michael J. Murray And Kurt Myers Theists, people who believe in the existence of God, often are required to pray to God in order to obtain certain benefits and provisions. It is believed that these things wouldn't come to God's believers unless they take the role as a petitioner and pray. These believers know God to be an all–loving being. However, if this is the case, a major problem arises for both atheists and theists alike; "Why would God bestow the good only if asked to bestow it" and "Why does God not grant the good irrespective of whether some person ask for it?" Michael J. Murray and Kurt Myers attempt at answer these questions in support of theism through "Ask and I Will Be Given to You."

They do this through a peculiar example of a very dirty child who obviously has not had a bath in a while. When a teacher speculates why this child is so dirty they are surprised to find out it is because the parents will not give their children anything unless the children directly ask for it. So, unless the child asks for a bath, they will never receive one. Why do the parents, our in our case God, require requests for certain benefits? Murray and Meyers explain that there are two major reasons as to why petitionary prayer is required. Firstly, they explain that there is good that comes from petitionary prayer that would not come about otherwise. Secondly, they explain that there is harm that would come about without petitionary prayer that is worse then any harm caused by it. Firstly, Murray and Meyers proposed that there are some serious benefits that come as results of petitionary prayer that couldn't come about any other way. The first positive effect discussed in this article is that petitionary prayer keeps the petitioner from worshipping idols. This is because, even if the petitioner's needs, such as the need for food, could be met by sources other than God, such as a grocery store, God still is the ultimate provider. This is true given that God created the foods that the grocery store provides. Therefore, the petitioner cannot look solely at nature and other resources of provisions as their providers, but at God.

Fifteen days later on February 19th, 1965 FBI agents working the case against the Petitioner had gained access to a phone booth within a set of phone booths that the petitioner frequented on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and summarily recorded the petitioner's side of conversations he was having on the phone within a booth nearby.

Cooke turned to Randall Johnson, the district manager, and informed Johnson that she believed Elauf wore her headscarf because of her faith. She wanted to determine whether or not the headscarf was in violation of this policy. Randall Johnson informed Cooke that Elauf's wearing headscarf would violate the "look policy", and therefore that Elauf should not be hired.

Inferring that this is an admission of guilt by Burlington, one can conclude that a deliberate business decision to retaliate outweighed any legal ramifications. The job for which Sheila White was hired was by her own admission too tough for her to perform. "I was moving spike cans that weighed 150 pounds; I was unloading plates and loading plates," she said. "On the forklift I was pretty much stable because I knew exactly what I was doing. But the date that they took me off that forklift and put me in the yard to work with the mens, I didn't know the first thing about it. And everything out there is hot and heavy. You could easily get killed or hurt out there." The facts stated in the case indicate that White was not a forklift operator immediately upon hire but took on that job role within a few weeks.

In order to do this, the State Bureau for Letters and Visits has begun to penalize officials that oversee ineffective local and regional petition offices. These penalties are levied when these officials fail to resolve petitioners' complaints before they advance them to higher–level offices; the punishments themselves can range from mild reprimands to career–jeopardizing public criticisms. As a result of these penalties, officials have a financial incentive to curb the flow of petitioners to Beijing. In response to this financial incentive, local and provincial–level officials have developed a system of extralegal detention to ensure that petitioners are intercepted and secretly detained before they are detected seeking legal redress in Beijing. Once petitioners are abducted, they are transported to black jails.

According to Mr. Sundstrom, Petitioner touted his first–class education to insure FMRS employees granted his request. As a result, Mr. Sundstrom granted Petitioner's request, ignoring many inconsistencies in the application. To quote the late psychiatrist, Dr. Gordon Livingston, If the map doesn't agree with the ground, the map is wrong. Defying common sense, Mr. Sundstrom chose to believe the map wrong, Mr. Sundstrom chose to forego asking the right questions and Mr. Sundstrom ignored my goddaughter's information regarding the application's motive. My goddaughter, a therapist with FMRS's ACT team met me at the Judicial Building on January 8, 2013. For the record, my goddaughter took personal time to attend the meeting with Mr. Sundstrom. I...

I said, "Chermette does not work in the department that handles mental hygiene applications. More importantly, unauthorized access represents a HIPPA violation.

  • 30. Petitioner V. Kulbicki Case Study the court case Maryland, Petitioner v. James Kulbicki, James Kulbicki fatally shot his 22–year–old–mistress. Kulbicki shot his mistress on the weekend before he was scheduled for a hearing on unpaid child support, which was tied into a paternity suit between Kulbicki and his mistress. At Kulbicki's trial, which began in 1995, evidence was presented that the bullet removed from the head of Kulbicki's mistress matched the bullet fragment that was left in Kulbicki's truck. FBI Agent Ernest Peele, who represented the CBLA (Comparative Bullet Lead Analysis), presented this evidence. Peele also examined a bullet taken from Kulbicki's gun. Even though the bullet in the victim's brain was not an "exact" match to the bullet found in the gun, Peele assumed that the bullet from the gun was similar enough to the first two bullets found. Using... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Kulbicki's file stayed in the state court until 2006, when Kulbicki added an additional claim that his defense attorneys did not adequately question the legitimacy of the ballistics evidence presented by the CBLA. Kulbucki lost in the state courts and then appealed to the Court of Appeals of Maryland. The Court of Appeals then vacated Kulbucki's conviction based on the fact that Kulbucki's attorneys did not question the legitimacy of the ballistics evidence, thus the defense attorneys did not provide Kulbucki with effective assistance during the trial. However, the Supreme Court of the United States held, in a per curiam opnion, that the Court of Appeals based the decision to vacate Kulbicki's conviction on contemporary views of ballistic evidence. Since there was no reason for counsel to investigate the validity of the ballistic evidence in 1995, the attorneys provided effective assistance to Kulbicki because effective assistance did not require attorneys to verify the legitimacy of the ballistic evidence (Maryland v.

  • 31. Public Safety Outweigh Petitioner 's First Amendment Right C.The interest of public safety outweighs Petitioner's First Amendment right to record. Petitioner's recording posed an unreasonable risk to bystanders, passing motorist, and the police, essentially creating an inherently dangerous situation. Kelly v. Borough of Carlisle, 622 F.3d 248, 262 (3d Cir. 2010). The Third Circuit has firmly recognized that traffic stops are especially fraught with danger to police officers. Id. A traffic stop always poses danger because of its unpredictable nature, but even more so, when a potential suspect is on the loose. Petitioner was a suspect for a crime of several residential break–ins, which a reasonable office would assume is armed and dangerous; thus creating a heightened risk to the officers' safety. Furthermore, the Petitioner was stopped on the side of a road congested with traffic. If the officers do not maintain control of the situation, any unpredictable movement could result in grave injury; therefore, the police officers acted reasonably by minimizing the unnecessary danger added by Petitioner's recording during an already dangerous situation. D.Petitioner's recording is not a matter of public interest that carried any expressive or communicative purpose. The encounter Petitioner recorded is not a matter of public interest. Although there is a broad First Amendment right to film matters of public interest, the extend of that right to film public officials have not been explicitly defined by the Supreme Court or any other ...

In reality, as other Hearing Officers have found, there is no such distinction. For the sake of this response, the District responds to the issues generally, and according to the described sub–issues listed by specific letters as follows: (Sub–issue a): Did the District fail to implement the IEP as written or change the IEP without parental input? No. Under the IDEA students are entitled to a free and appropriate public education which conforms to the student's individual education program. Under the IDEA and federal precedent, one of the factors used in determining whether a school district substantively and procedurally provided a FAPE to a student is whether the services provided to the student conformed to his or her IEP as it was written. (20 U.S.C. В§ 1400). Under Rowley and state and federal statutes, the standard for determining whether a district's provision of services substantively and procedurally provided a FAPE involves four factors: (1) the services must be designed to meet the student's unique needs; (2) the services must be reasonably designed to provide some educational benefit; (3) the services must conform to the IEP as written; and, (4) the program offered must be designed to provide the student with the foregoing in the least restrictive environment. While this requires a school district to provide a disabled child with meaningful access to education, it does not mean that the school district is required to guarantee ...

He argued that police's warrantless search on his cell phone has violated his Fourth Amendment rights. However, the State of California affirmed the judgment. In the background of Riley's case, our group conducted a survey to understand UC Davis students' thoughts about police searching on cell phones upon arrest. Eventually, among the 50 persons surveyed, about half of them think the police do not have rights to search cell phones upon arrest, while the rest think the police do have the rights.

By mentioning the incapability of the digital contents in his cell phone, Riley revealed and emphasized the fear of officers on the officer safety. He revealed the public fear of officer safety, but then released the stress derived from fear of officer safety by saying "[contents in] cell phone are categorically incapable of threatening officer safety" (Pet. Brief 10). And also, Our survey confirmed the public fear of safety. In our survey, about half of people investigated, prefer a person to be charged for attempted murder. And, About 50 percent is a significant high level for people surveyed thinking one should be charged for attempted murder. In the brief, Riley also revealed the police's fear of the arrestee's destroying digital contents. He stated, "... once the police have seized and secured a smart phone, there is no risk that the arrestee might destroy or alter its digital contents" (Pet. Brief 10). It shows the police's fear of the risk of arrestee's destroying the contents in their cell phones, and reveal the desire of the police's willingness of protecting the evidence in the cell phones as evidence. However, Riley also released the fear of arrestee's destroying digital contents in their smart phones. He said that "[digital contents] should not be any danger" (Pet.

  • 37. The Case Of Pope V. Illinois On July 21, 1983 local police detectives in Rockford, Illinois entered two different local book stores and purchased six magazines. Soon after exiting the store, police separately arrested clerks Richard Pope and Charles Morrison. Both men were charged and convicted for selling obscene materials, in accordance with an Illinois statute. On appeal, both petitioners argued that the Illinois statute was unconstitutional to both the first and Fourteenth Amendments. They reasoned that the state was required to make the value determination by an objective standard rather than community standard in conformance with the Miller decision, and the juries in this case had been instructed to judge whether the material had value as viewed by ordinary adults in the state of Illinois. The Appellate Court rejected the both petitioners' arguments and the IllinoisSupreme court denied requests for further review, but the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari and merged both cases for reexamination. The case, Pope v. Illinois, was argued on February 24, 1987. Glenn A. Stanko represented the petitioners whose argument was: The IllinoisObscenity Statute violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments by allowing the value element to be determined by community standards and instructing the jury to do so. Therefore, the convictions against petitioners must be reversed because the statute is invalid. Glenn Stanko made it clear that the petitioners did not argue whether the materials were ...

Petitioner pleaded guilty towards his indictment of taking liberties with a child, which he committed when he was seventeen and was sentenced to serve thirty–one to thirty–eight months in prison. Upon being released after serving his sentence for the crime committed in 2006 the petitioner was called to a hearing on May 14, 2013 North Carolina to determine whether or not he would be subjected to join a global positioning system monitoring program. Under North Carolina General Statutes 14–208.40 it requires any individual found to be a recidivist sex offender must be ordered to partake in the sex offender monitoring system. Grady raised objections to the program arguing because of the unreasonable searches the structure of the program allows that his Fourth Amendment rights would be violated. The purpose of the GPS monitoring program enforced by the Division of Adult Correction is to manage the risk assessment of individuals who enter into public society after having been imprisoned. As participants in the Satellite Based Monitoring (SBM) program created under North Carolina General Statutes 14–208.40, each individual is required to continually wear a GPS ankle monitor.

  • 40. The Debate Between Mark Steyn And The Muslim Petitioners... Under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, everyone is guaranteed certain rights. One that stands out and is essential to our society is the fundamental freedom of expression. Anyone can speak their opinion in public. However, the government can in some instances limit these freedoms. The question that causes a lot of debate is in what instances can the government genuinely limit people's rights while being justified in doing so. I believe the restrictions on speech in Canada are appropriate. I believe that the government was correct in not intervening with the debate between Mark Steyn and the Muslim petitioners because his article did not warrant enough to risk the safety of Muslims, and by coercing Maclean's to post an opposing viewpoint would be a violation of their fundamental freedom of expression. Per Mill's framework the government should not intervene in this case. Mill's belief is that government intervention should only occur when there is physical harm. In this case, there is no physical harm, but there is offence as Muslims are targeted by the article. Mill believes that if something is offensive, society cannot do anything about it but avoid it or try to persuade the author to believe otherwise. The students attempted to persuade Maclean's that the opinion stated in Steyn's argument was incorrect and hateful, and to post an opposing view but had no luck. I believe the students should have then just informed people in Canada that Maclean's is offensive, and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
