    Plaintiff’s counsel has requested that the Department transfer Cohen, as far away from the Cumberland region as possible, to another institution within his classification level or ICC him. Before settlement exploration may proceed further, Cohen’s counsel has requested a transfer decision. As rationale, he explained that non-monetary considerations are Cohen’s primary concern due to his life sentence and lack of family. He also advised that a significant monetary award will not be a primary consideration unless the negotiation of the non-monetary terms are unsuccessful. He is adamant that Cohen does not wish to undertake discussion of any other terms until the Department determines whether transfer of Cohen is an…

    CILA Case Summary

    • 478 Words
    • 2 Pages

    We intend to defend this case by arguing that Support Systems and Services did not violate any of the provisions of the CILA Act nor the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. Specifically, we will present a defense that the insured is not guilty of neglect in that it did not have notice that there was a risk that Elise Wasson may fall from a chair. Further, we will present a case that the delay reporting the occurrence and, therefore, the delay in obtaining medical treatment, did not cause an increase in Elise’s injuries and damages. Based on the information that we have at this time, we do not believe that the insured is liable for failing to take precautionary measures in an attempt to prevent Elise from falling from the kitchen chair.…

    Direct Victim: The direct victim in the case study is a factory manager who explains that he was shocked and horrified by the mess and damage from the crime. His financial losses were not only the cost of the damages, but also the loss of making money the entire day as the day was spent cleaning up the mess (Crosland, P., & Liebmann, M. 2003). Although the financial needs of the direct victim were not met because the offenders were young children and could not repay it; according to the victim motives for participation in our textbook, the victim’s emotional needs seem to have been met. Some of the needs that were met are holding the offender accountable (the offender took full responsibility for his part in the crime), learning…

    Clarice P. Jones Referral Information: Clarice Precious Jones was referred to me by Ms. Weiss at the welfare office. While Ms. Jones stated she would no longer be relying on welfare, Ms. Weiss felt it was important that Ms. Jones was set up with an opportunity for counseling and therapeutic services. She was referred to me because I offer very low cost services on a sliding scale in a facility that runs much like a clinic for mental health services. From Ms. Weiss’ referral information, I learned that Ms. Jones is an HIV positive, teenage mother of two who is struggling to find a way to support her children on her own while also being able to remain in her alternative school program at least until she can achieve her GED. During our first meeting I reviewed the Client-Counselor Service Agreement with Ms. Jones.…

    1) Frederick Douglas was a civil rights activist and abolitionist during the 1800’s, and is most notable for his amazing speeches and his role in the civil war. Thomas Auld was a upper class plantation owner during the 1800’s, and we can infer that Auld is Douglas’ “master”. This letter is written before the U.S. civil war, and tensions are beginning to rise in the country. The south is largely for the use of slavery, while the north is largely against this notion; this division of the country will ultimately lead to the outbreak of the U.S. civil war. 2)…

    Promissory Estoppel Essay

    • 707 Words
    • 3 Pages

    This essay seeks to discuss the Doctrine of Promissory Estoppel and the Doctrine of Consideration, as well as a clear analysis, with the use of case law, how Promissory Estoppel has become an exception to the general principle that a promise may only be enforced if it is supported by good consideration; it will ultimately conclude whether or not a promise to accept a smaller sum in discharge of a larger sum, if acted upon, is binding notwithstanding the absence of consideration. A contract is a legally binding agreement in law between two or more parties, which is enforced by law or by binding arbitration if it covers the elements of a valid legal agreement. For there to be a valid contract, three elements must be present, offer, acceptance, and consideration. If there is no consideration, there is no contract; however, with promissory estoppel instead of consideration, if there is a promise which induces reliance, the court would find some sort of liability for the promise.…
