State V. Black is an important case to highlight in order to defend my client. “A husband is required to govern his household, and for that purpose the law permits him to use towards his wife such a degree of force as is necessary to control an unruly, temper and make her behave herself” (State V. Black, Pg. 11.) Mrs. Smith was completely unruly, as she “continued to shout at him,” even after that fact the he had warned her that if she continued there would be consequences. Mr. Smith decided to not use the switch to hit his wife and instead slapped her with his hand, which is the necessary amount of force that should have been inflicted upon his wife for her actions. Along with that statement are two more key facts that I previously mentioned…
Like the victim in Hinman, Joanie Blake will prove that Charles Harvey is liable for the damages sustained by Blake, based on the “direct and immediate” behavior of Harvey’s dogs (Lewellin 62). The said behavior led directly to Blake incurring significant injuries. The liability Harvey faces is reinforced by the Minnesota Statute that states, If a dog, without provocation, attacks or injures any person who is acting peaceably in any place where the person may lawfully be, the owner of the dog is liable in damages to the person so attacked or injured to the full amount of the injury sustained.…
Introduction The US justice systems can be described through a critical analysis of a case law.

Description of the case Antoine Jones, was a suspect identified as a prime suspect in some cases of drug trafficking.…

Is the notion of legal precedent molded by local interests? Barbara Yngvesson, in her essay entitled Inventing Law in Local Settings: Rethinking Popular Legal Culture, asserts that the foundation of justice and communal identity rests with the American court system. Though all members of the judiciary body remain “unbiased,” this idea suggests an overpowering force behind local petitions which are, thus, used as vehicles to deliver justice and identity. Linda Greenhouse, author of Becoming Justice Blackmun, offers an alternative approach to this question through detailed analysis of the career of Justice Blackmun. With deep insights, Blackmun effectively conveys stare decisis in relation to restrictions the Supreme Court places on certain…

Reasoning: Justice Blackmun delivered the opinion of the Court, joined by all but Justice Scalia (dissent below) and joined by Justice Brennan as to all but Note 11.
