The Seventh Amendment preserves the right to trial by jury in federal civil cases over $20 and prevents reexamination of facts by a jury except by common law rules. The Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail or fines and cruel and unusual punishment.

Sept 27 2014 1pm cachola press release
The press release summarizes an advisory opinion by the Ethics Commission regarding its investigation of State Representative Romy Cachola for his previous role as a City Councilmember. While the opinion found no violations, it unfairly defames Cachola. The opinion also singles out Cachola for accepting gifts from lobbyists at events where other Councilmembers received the same gifts but were not named. Cachola agreed to settle for $50,000 to prevent further defamation and legal fees over $125,000, but maintains he did not intentionally violate any laws.
Kinds of laws
There are two major groups of law: criminal laws and civil laws. Criminal laws regulate public conduct and are brought by the government, with penalties including imprisonment or fines. Felonies are more serious criminal offenses with over a year in prison, while misdemeanors have under a year. Civil laws regulate relations between individuals and groups, allowing lawsuits for injuries with potential money damages or other remedies awarded. The standard of proof in criminal cases is "beyond a reasonable doubt" while the lower standard of "preponderance of evidence" applies in civil suits.

Supreme Court & Practice Statement (2012)
Here is a possible response using the sources and other cases:
Source A is the Practice Statement itself issued by the House of Lords in 1966. It recognises that too rigid adherence to precedent can lead to injustice, so it allows the House of Lords to depart from its own previous decisions when it appears right to do so. However, it notes there is an 'especial need for certainty' in criminal law.
Source B is an example of the Practice Statement being used in a criminal case, R v R and G. The court overruled the previous decision of Caldwell from 1981 to consult a Law Commission report when interpreting the meaning of 'reckless' in the Criminal Damage Act 1971. This developed the law to reflect a changed
Assisted Decision Making
This document discusses how big data and machine learning can assist with legal decision making. It describes existing examples like FantasySCOTUS that crowdsource Supreme Court predictions and Harlan.co, which uses big data to help with legal tasks like drafting contracts. The document envisions a future where "assisted decision making" uses artificial intelligence to provide guidance to lawyers, litigants, and non-lawyers on cases, motions, opinions and other legal matters by crunching and analyzing large amounts of legal data. Intelligent assistants could one day draft documents, answer questions, and help navigate the legal system.
Hl & practice statement (2011)
The document discusses precedent and the House of Lords' ability to depart from its own precedent through the Practice Statement of 1966. It explains that the House of Lords can now overrule its own precedent when it believes the previous decision was wrong, in order to correct errors and allow the law to develop. However, it will maintain precedent in areas where certainty is most important, like criminal law. The Practice Statement allows the House of Lords to change its mind in some circumstances but uphold stare decisis in others.

Chapter 5 power point
Criminal law prohibits harmful acts through statutes and common law. A crime requires an intentional act that violates the law, without defense or excuse. There are limitations on criminalizing conduct, including prohibitions on vague, overbroad, or ex post facto laws. For an offense to occur there must be a criminal act, intent, concurrence between the act and intent, causation of harm, and the harm. Defenses include justification, excuses, and procedural arguments like entrapment. Crimes are categorized as against persons, property, or public order. Crimes against persons include murder, rape, and aggravated assault.

The Law is a mighty machine. Woe to the unfortunate man who, wholly or in part innocent, becomes entangled in its mighty wheels, unless his innocence is patent or his rescue planned and executed by able counsel. The machine will grind on relentlessly and ruthlessly, and blindfolded justice does not see that the grist is sometimes stained with blood.

U.S.2.Immigration And Urbanization (1865 1914)
Between 1880 and 1920, large numbers of southern and eastern European immigrants arrived in the United States, settling primarily in cities. They fled conflicts and economic hardships in their home countries and were drawn by the prospect of employment and land ownership in America. Upon arrival, immigrants faced difficult living and working conditions as they assimilated into urban society and culture. Cities saw rising populations, new forms of transportation and architecture, and changes to public health and consumerism as a result of immigration and industrialization during this period.
Us.1.Triumph Of American Industry
As business grew in America in the late 19th century, entrepreneurs sought to maximize profits through monopolizing industries and paying low wages and providing few benefits to employees. This led to disagreements between owners and workers. The completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 provided more opportunities for business but also improved transportation and communication. Many new technologies were invented during this time as well. To cut costs and increase profits, businesses consolidated through mergers and trusts to gain control over entire industries. This concentration of economic power concerned workers, leading to the growth of labor unions like the Knights of Labor in the late 1800s as workers sought better pay and conditions.
U.S.1.The South And West
The South struggled after the Civil War with discrimination against African Americans and little industry or cities. The Reconstruction Amendments aimed to protect rights, but Jim Crow laws later enforced racial segregation. Native Americans were forced onto reservations by the government to take their land, often facing violence and disease, while settlers expanded West seeking land and opportunity through policies like the Homestead Act. The transcontinental railroad and other infrastructure changes connected areas but also displaced tribes and cultures.

U.S.1.Gilded Age
The document provides an overview of the political, economic, and social conditions in the United States during the Gilded Age from the 1870s to the 1890s. It describes the rampant political corruption, the economic dominance of large businesses, rising inequality, and the emergence of the Populist movement in response to farmer debt and declining prices of agricultural goods.
U.S.2.The Gilded Age (1877 1900)
During the Gilded Age from 1877 to 1900, industrialization corrupted politics and harmed farmers, leading to the formation of the Populist Party. Civil rights made little progress as Jim Crow laws segregated blacks and whites. Chinese and Mexican immigrants also faced segregation and lacked rights. Women sought more political and social rights by forming unions and movements but met little success. Corrupt politics involved industries bribing politicians while hardworking conditions for many remained poor. Economic issues like the tariff divided politicians and led independent parties to form around monetary policy debates. Farmers struggled with low crop prices and high transportation costs, driving many into debt and fueling the Populist movement.
U.S.2,The South And West Transformed
The document summarizes how the economy, society, and culture of the American South and West changed after the Civil War. Racism persisted against African Americans and new Jim Crow laws were established to enforce racial segregation. Native American tribes were forced onto reservations and their children were sent to boarding schools. Chinese immigrants helped build the transcontinental railroad but then faced discrimination. The Homestead Act encouraged western expansion and the era of the cowboy drove cattle from Texas to markets in the North and West. Railroads, mining, and ranching transformed the economies while racism, immigration, and conflicts with Native Americans shaped western society and culture.

The completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 provided more opportunities for business but also improved transportation and communication. Many new technologies were invented during this time as well. Businesses increasingly adopted corporate structures and consolidation practices like mergers and monopolies to cut costs and increase profits. This exploitation of workers led to the growth of labor unions seeking better conditions.
Us.1.Immigration And Urbanization Section 1
Immigration and urbanization dramatically changed American society from 1877-1914. Large numbers of immigrants arrived from Europe, attracted by opportunities in America's growing cities. They provided cheap labor that fueled industrialization. However, immigrants often lived in overcrowded and unsanitary tenement housing in urban areas. The growth of cities concentrated populations and led to changes in lifestyles, including use of public transportation, work schedules, and interaction with strangers. Urbanization concentrated populations and industry in cities and transformed America into a more urban nation.

Us.2.Amendment Ix And X
The document discusses the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution. It summarizes that the Tenth Amendment limits the power of the federal government and protects the powers of the states by reserving powers not given to the federal government to the states or individuals. It was an important amendment because it created a balance between federal and state power and applies today by restricting what the federal government can do and preserving state authority.
Us.2.Amendment Ii, Viii
The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives citizens the right to bear arms in order to maintain well-regulated militias for state security. It was included in the Bill of Rights in response to anti-federalists who opposed standing armies and wanted people to be able to defend themselves. However, there is ongoing debate around gun control and whether individuals' right to bear arms infringes on safety. The Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail and fines and cruel and unusual punishment. It was included to protect prisoners' rights and create equality in treatment. However, what constitutes "excessive" or "cruel" is still debated today in Supreme Court cases around issues like the death penalty.
Us.2.Am.4.6
The Fourth Amendment protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government and ensures that any warrants are judicially sanctioned and based on probable cause. It was added to the Constitution to restrict the government's power and protect people's privacy and property rights. Today, it continues to guarantee these privacy rights for all Americans.
The Sixth Amendment guarantees criminal defendants the right to a fair, public and speedy trial by an impartial jury, as well as other fair trial rights like confronting witnesses, getting witnesses to testify for the defense, and legal counsel. It was added to ensure people received fair trials and to prevent unfair prosecutions. These rights still apply today and ensure all people receive justice through a fair trial process.
Us.1.Am.2.10
The document discusses the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights. It guarantees the right of individuals to keep and bear arms and prevents this right from being infringed by the government. There is some debate around whether this only applies to citizens as part of a militia, like the National Guard, or if it refers more broadly to individual gun ownership. The amendment was also meant to limit the power of the federal government and protect states' rights to have militias for their own security.
Us.1.Am.5
The Fifth Amendment protects citizens from government overreach in several ways: it ensures people cannot be prosecuted for a major crime without evidence presented to a grand jury, prevents people from being tried twice for the same crime, and protects individuals from being forced to testify against themselves or have their property taken without compensation. It codifies principles like due process and the presumption of innocence to ensure legal proceedings are fair. The amendment was included in the Constitution to safeguard individual rights and reign in government power over citizens.
Us.1.Am.6.9
The Sixth Amendment establishes several rights of criminal defendants, including the right to a speedy public trial by an impartial jury in the district in which the crime was committed, to be informed of criminal accusations, to confront witnesses, to obtain witnesses and evidence in their favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for their defense.
Us.1.Amendment One
This document discusses key provisions and protections provided by the First Amendment of the US Constitution, including freedom of speech, press, religion, and the right to peacefully assemble. It provides examples of Supreme Court cases that have upheld these protections, such as allowing protest in public areas and keeping the identities of confidential sources secret from journalists. The overall purpose is to outline the historical context and importance of civil liberties enshrined in the First Amendment.
Indias Cultural Revolution (2)
This is a PPT on a chapter from The Elephant and the Dragon by Robyn Meredith presented to the McGehee School economics' class in New Orleans.
Internet Spice Route
The document discusses how India has become a global technology center through offshoring and outsourcing work such as call centers and software development. It notes that the Y2K scare led companies to outsource technology jobs to India to take advantage of lower costs and that India was able to send exports over computer networks rather than slow transportation methods. The summary briefly outlines some of the topics covered regarding differences between India and China's economic positions and benefit from globalization.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
