B. Assessing the impact of the California, New York, and Massachusetts statutes on Kansas state pay equity case law With respect to the four divisions differentiating state pay equity statutes nationally, Kansas’s current pay equity statute applies to all employers, public and private, and falls into the “equal work” or “equal worth” category with twenty-one other states.

Ideally, judges should be the ones who are independent from influence, and should write their own opinions. However, due to the scarcity of time and the amount of workload for justices, it is rather efficient for others who are also experienced and knowledgeable in law to aid justices in their judicial process; therefore, justices are dependent on their law clerks. The research of this paper is to find whether law clerks influence the votes cast by Supreme Court justices on the cases they hear.…

Additionally, outside of the British sphere, any country facing a substantial flow of Muslim immigrants, such as the refugees from Syria, could become a key player in the issue on how to integrate Sharia law.
