    Abramski v the United States is a case that questioned the legality of a lawful gun-purchaser buying a gun for another lawful gun-owner who resides in a different state and inaccurately listing that they are the actual buyer. Due to the Supremacy clause (86), it was up to the Supreme Court to make the final decision by looking further into the Gun Control Act of 1968, which was established to try and stop felons from obtaining a gun, and determining exactly what it prohibits. In 2009, Bruce Abramski bought a gun for his uncle, Angel Alvarez, because after his years of service as a police officer, he was eligible for a discount at a local Virginia gun store. Before he purchased the weapon, three federally-licensed gun dealers told Abramski to…

    In the matter of Roper v. Simmons (2005), 17 year old Christopher Simmons and two accomplices had planned a murder in great detail and carried out the killing of victim Shirley Crook. In 1993, Simmons entered Crook’s home, robbed her, tied her up, and finally threw her off a bridge. The case had an overwhelming amount of evidence including a confession from Simmons, testimony from another accomplice in the planning of the murder, and a videotaped reenactment of the murder. At the age of 17, after a brief trial, Simmons was found guilty of the crimes and subsequently sentenced to death (Roper v. Simmons, n.d.).

    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. First, the majority noted the background of sentencing disparities that lead to the Congressional Act at issue here. Turning to the Constitutional questions, the majority considered delegation principles. Under the precedents of the Court, Congress may delegate responsibility so long as the delegation includes an “intelligible principle” to guide exercise of the authority delegated and so long as Congress has not delegated its legislative function. The Court concluded that Congress provided sufficient guidance here, giving the Commission a lengthy list of factors that should influence…

    My father was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and the way it affected him sparked my interest in medicine. At GCSE level, I learnt that diabetes results when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to maintain a normal blood glucose level.

Currently the only way to delay/prevent diabetes in people who may have genetic predispositions to it is by maintaining a healthy weight. Recently, a study in Diabetologia showed that obese people with prediabetes could improve their metabolic health, by avoiding AGE products.…

    Sexual harassment has always been, and still is, an extremely controversial topic. Some people tend to think that sexual harassment cases are all stemmed from lies made up by victims to gain attention or sympathy. Others, however, see sexual harassment as a serious crime that has been locked away in a vault and ignored by society. Whichever side one takes, the fact that sexual harassment and sexual discrimination laws play an important part in many aspects of society still stands. From the beginning of time, humans have struggled in deciding what rights certain groups should or should not have, and, slowly, everyone started to be set upon the same plane.…

    Learning about the legal environment in the classroom setting can be very interesting and exciting, but seeing a court in action is an entirely new learning experience.

Each of these cases had different elements that allowed me to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the United States legal system. The first case I witnessed was a domestic violence arraignment.…
