Honorable Judge Schmidt: We are confused and baffled by Isaac Oberlander’s demands and ultimatums. Firstly, let us set the record straight: Yoely Brach (“Yoely”) is the defendant and should not dictate the terms of any arbitration proceedings. The fact remains that Mr. Jacob Guttman, the owner of Court Street Office Supplies, Inc. (“Company”), employed Yoely – right out of Kollel with no formal or general education – out of kindheartedness and compassion to his son-in-law. As Yoely mistook his father-in-law’s unselfishness for weakness, he engaged in erratic behavior, breached his fiduciary duties to the Company, and embezzled the Company by hundreds of thousands of dollars.…
Summary: Jim, who lives in Detroit Michigan, had a few drinks at a local bar but was not intoxicated. Before he left he asked the bartender for a drink of water, who in error gave him a 6oz cup of 40% Vodka. Jim drank it quickly noticing the strength of the liquid but figured it was his imagination as he had requested water. The Vodka went straight to his head and he became intoxicated, causing him to lose control of his car which jumped a curb and killed two people. Jim was arrested and put on trial under Michigan’s “causing death while operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated” statute which carries a 15 year prison sentence.…

I believe that these two justices’ jurisprudence, or philosophy of law, is shaped by their political ideologies. This is not to say, however, that I believe that the two justices’ political ideologies affect their ability to come to objective decisions since ultimately, their most important task is to remain impartial. The two SCOTUS justices are on the opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. In addition to their opposite ideologies, the pair has two completely different philosophies of law and therefore, vary in their methods of interpretation. Justice Breyer’s political alignment is more towards the liberal side of the court.…

In the founding of America, the founding fathers formed much of the structure that America is based on today. In the world today we still follow the same Federal System that the Americans did in the 1800’s. There have been many Supreme Court cases that have left an impact on our country, but none have left the impact that the Dred Scott versus Sanford decision left. In order to understand the Dred Scott versus Sanford case one must know: the function of the Supreme Courts , who Dred Scott was, and the impact that the case left on future presidents choosing their Supreme Court Justices. The Supreme Court was founded in 1789 because of the Judiciary Act of 1789.…
The right of due process is one of the most characterizing features that embody the spirit of American liberty. Can anyone imagine a world without constitutional protections, provided for the accused, against arbitrary accusations? Before the establishment of the United States’ Constitution, the founding fathers of America understood that rights inherently bestowed unto the people are rights that should be protected by government institutions. The right against cruel and unusual punishment and the right to a trial by jury are just two of the several protections offered to Americans by the Constitution. In the case Hurst v. State of Florida, Timothy Hurst was charged, convicted, and sentenced to death for the murder of Cynthia Harrison at the…
While my client provides for his children and teaches them good lessons, he has done a poor job instilling proper behavior in his children, and custody should be given to the plaintiff. Atticus’ absentee nature has done the most damage to Scout, who constantly runs around fighting and cursing. At school, she…
The Plaintiff, Savitri, filed a complaint that Rajendra negligently and intentionally inflicted emotional distress. She alleged that he used his psychiatric training in order to manipulate and brainwash the children into hating her. The defendant then made a motion for summary disposition, which the court granted. The court found the claim to be barred by res judicata. The plaintiff then claimed that by the court granting a summary of disposition was wrong, because her claim was based on relief and was not adjudicated by a court.…
From 1801 to 1835, the Marshall Court consisted of six to seven Associate Supreme Court Justices and Chief Justice John Marshall. He was part of the “Midnight Judges” appointed by John Adams on the last day of his presidency, in an attempt for the Federalists to dominate the judicial branch. Marshall was one of the last remaining Federalists involved with the government and his influence on certain cases lasted much longer than the Federalist Party itself. The Marshall Court increased the power of the federal government in terms of the meaning of a contract, the power of the federal government versus the power of the state government, and the regulation of interstate commerce. This became apparent in the Supreme Court’s rulings on Dartmouth…
