Court Case Number 15: Bowers V. Hardwick (June 30, 1986)
.... that are “implicit in the concept of ordered liberty,”
such that “neither liberty nor justice would exist if any fundamental liberties
were sacrificed.” In Moore v. East Cleveland, fundamental liberties are
characterized as those liberties that are “deeply rooted in this Nation's
history and tradition.”
Proscriptions against a fundamental right to homosexuals to engage in
acts of consensual sodomy have ancient roots. Sodomy was a criminal offense at
common law and was forbidden by the laws of the or .....

which case many legal issues could be raised, more on that in question three.
Back to the ethics involved, it would be very important if the Director were to
try and be ethical about the issue he/she should give the appearance of ethical
procedure. One way this could be done is that a recommendation could be made
rulemaking be in a formal format. In addition she/he should be very careful to
limit ex parte contacts between himself and his former business ass .....

Canada's Copyright Law
.... could rent a movie form the video store, copy and return it, with no one the
wiser.
The problem with copying video and audio tapes is that for every copy
you make the recording artist, the actors, producers and everyone else who
collect royalties from the tapes lose money. If the companies start to lose
money, they raise prices. Thus a vicious circle begins. As prices go up, fewer
people buy original copies. If less people buy the original cassettes prices
will once again rise.

Keep Our Water Clean: Clean Water Act
.... have never heard of and never will.
If the Clean Water Act Amendments of 1995 are passed, all that we have
worked for since 1972 will be lost. It will take all of the advances made to
clean our water and totally reverse them. This bill will take apart the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, leaving loopholes for businesses
desiring to pollute our waters. This bill also demonstrates a flagrant disregard
for the state of scientific and technological knowledge in the area of water
quality .....

Development Of Defense Of Provocation
.... law has regarded as deserving
extenuated consideration when provoked to kill. In the words of Viscount Simon
"the law has to reconcile respect for the sanctity of human life with
recognition of the effect of provocation on human frailty. " In this regard the
difficult concept of the "reasonable man" or the "ordinary man" has developed
and with it the legal doctrine that provocation must be such as would not only
cause the person accused to behave as he did but as would cause an ordinary man
to so lose c .....

Lincoln's Battle With His Cabinet
.... H. Seward,
clearly considered himself the President's superior, and blandly offered to
assume the executive responsibility. He entered the cabinet with the
thought of becoming the power behind the Presidential chair and openly
opposed Lincoln's control of the Union. This made Lincoln's position as
Chief of State exceedingly difficult and hindered his communication and
control of the military. As time passed, however, Seward recognized
Lincoln's capabilities and gave him complete loyalty (Simmons 174). .....

Bill Of Rights

petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
ESTABLISHING RELIGION: While campaigning for his first term, George
Bush said "I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor
should they be considered patriots." Bush has not retracted, commented on,
or clarified this statement, in spite of requests to do so. According to
Bush, this is one nation under God. And apparently if you are not within
Bush's religious beliefs, you are not a citizen. Federal, state, and local

Communism Is A Better Form Of Economic Organization Than Capitalism
.... can
control and decide what is needed for the good of society and produce it.
Another reason why Communism is good is because everyone in the country is
provided with a job, house and food; no one is denied the essentials of
life.
One of the most fundamental human rights is access to adequate health
care. In Communist countries the right of access to health care is very
well practiced, because no one is denied health care. In a Communist
country you could go to the Doctor for lets say a Flu shot .....

The FBI

violations of mainly bankruptcy frauds, antitrust crime, and neutrality
violation. During World War One, the Bureau was given the responsibility of
investigating espionage, sabotage, sedition (resistance against lawful
authority), and draft violations. The passage of the National Motor Vehicle
Theft Act in 1919 further broadened the Bureau's jurisdiction.
After the passage of Prohibition in 1920, the gangster era began, bringing
about a whole new type of crime. Criminals engaged i .....

Governement's Bureaucratic Half-Witted Laws
.... Yet, the Alabama state government needs to have
power so it passed the "no driving while blindfold" law. Alabama is not the
only state with laws that seem useless. In California community leaders
passed an ordinance that makes it illegal for anyone to try to stop a child
from playfully jumping over puddles of water. The fine for such a crime is
fifty dollars and up to ten days in jail. Once again a government decided it
didn't have enough power and thought that it might as well impose a new law to

Greenspan - The Case For The Defense

how Greenspan worked and bargained for his status in the country to be solidifed.
this book also flourished with innovative situations pertaining to the most
diversified of criminal charges, to the most uncanny regions of law ever dealt.
It was this thorough look at Greenspan's life which impressed me the most. It
was quite clear that after the fourth page, I came upon the conclusion that this
casebook would create a most influential reaction to .....

The Rise Of Communism In Russia

socialist revolution and the attainment of full communism (Groilers
Encyclopedia).
Socialism, of which Marxism-Leninism is a takeoff, originated in
the West. Designed in France and Germany, it was brought into Russia in
the middle of the nineteenth century and promptly attracted support among
the country's educated, public-minded elite, who at that time were called
intelligentsia (Pipes, 21). After Revolution broke out over Europe in
1848 the modern working class appe .....

succeed from the Turkish republic. Turkey's sputtering and deteriorating economy
is directly related to the long Kurdish struggle for independence. Turkey has
spent over eight billion dollars or twenty percent of her GDP to combat the ever
deteriorating predicament in northern Kurdistan, and should spend more in the
future(Laber). Because of the violence, the once prosperous tourist business of
Turkey, has now lost about $1.5 billion dollars annually since 1990. Many peop .....

Court Trip Essay: Efficiency And Effectiveness Of Our Criminal Court System

because of the amount of information involved.
The general atmosphere and behaviour in the Provincial Courtrooms were
general loose and calm. The people, lawyers, judge, clerk and recorder
seem to know each other very well. They joked openly, even while the court
was in session, the defence lawyer asked if he could persuade the judge
into a lighter sentence after the judge had already made a decision in a
very easy and friendly tone of voice, something seemly unprofessional th .....

Justice
.... was prosecuted for shooting a police officer.
The prosecutor was caught up in the media and emotional hype of this case. She
apparently thought that she could win simply because a police officer was shot
and the public was behind her. It was a case of public revenge where the mind-
set was "We're going to get the guy that did this horrible crime. It doesn't
matter that he was defending his home." This type of public revenge could
include the execution of Shively. No matter what verdict would have been
