Case Study Trespass To Land

Decent Essays
1. In this scenario I would have committed the intentional tort of trespass to land. There are three parts needed in order to commit trespass to land and they are; some affirmative action by the defendant, intention to enter the real property of another, and the actual entry of that property. In this example I would be found guilty because I made the affirmative decision to put the balloon down in the vineyard instead of landing in the ocean. It was my intent to land in the vineyard and I actually did so.

    In Jake’s case, the main issue is whether Pam’s actions constitute a trespass to land. Trespass to land requires the defendant to: directly, voluntarily, and intentionally interfere with the plaintiff’s land without the plaintiff’s consent. By entering the land to chase Sally, Pam satisfies the first three criteria, leaving only the last one, plaintiff’s consent, in contention. Despite not having explicit licence, Pam could argue she had an implied licence, as established by Halliday v Nevill.…

    Chirag N. Rao Political Science Essay#2, Topic= the Civil Rights and the Liberties Scenarios, Due= Thursday, February 19th, 2015 The hearing of an appeal to post Ten Commandments on the walls of a public or government building is an interesting case, whose relevance goes back to the famous phrase, namely, “Separation of Church and State”. Roots of this phrase can be traced all the way back to a letter written by Thomas Jefferson in January of 1802 to the Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut. Though the First Amendment clause against establishment of religion by law was to ensure that there was separation between religion and government, various courts to this day are still hearing cases and this remain an ongoing subject of interpretation and perspectives. I believe this is so because the various court decisions and legislation such as First Amendment, Lemon Test, Civil Rights and Liberties make it ambivalent between separation of religion and that of freedom to practice religion.…

First, because the law provides such relief for a qualified relative of a U.S. citizen and I fall into that category.

    “The right to hold human beings in perpetual and hopeless slavery is only found in the codes of barbarians and despots” (Levine 137). If this was the view of one Massachusetts’ congressman how did others feel about slavery and what did they do to stop the spread of slavery? Of course slaves fought against their bondage in subtle ways from within the perimeter of their plantation owners and their plantations that the slaves were forced to work on. Within Levine’s textbook he states that slaves resisted their masters or overseers by being clumsy, breaking tools, making the authority figure on the plantation explain the task multiple times, and slowing their working pace therefore the expectations of the slave owner were decreased from that specific…
