    Dallas Fire Fighters Ass N V. City Of Dallas Case Study

    In the case Dallas Fire Fighters Ass'n v. City of Dallas, white and Native American male fire fighters claimed race and gender-conscious promotions violated the Equal Protection Clause (Berkeley, 1996). The plaintiffs claimed the department passed them over for promotions solely on the basis of race or gender pursuant to the Department's affirmative action plan (Berkeley, 1996). The court held the constitutionality of an affirmative action plan, whether voluntary or court-ordered, must be subjected to strict scrutiny (Berkeley, 1996). The court found that the City's policy of "skip promotions" in the fire department was not narrowly tailored and therefore violated the plaintiff's equal protections rights (Berkeley, 1996). Likewise, the female…

    United Sates V. Lopez Case Study

    I too think that having a gun on school grounds is a serious crime. In the case of United Sates v. Lopez it should have only been up to the state to punish him, but that wasn't the case. Lopez's crime should not have been punishable under the Commerce Crime and that was exactly what the ruling upheld. The Commerce Crime had nothing to do with the Gun Free School Zone Act and therefore it was unconstitutional. Great discussion.…

    Analysis Of The Texas Vs. Johnson Case 1984 By Gregory Lee Johnson

    Is there a Constitutional right to burning the American Flag? Does the First Amendment give permission to destroy a pronounced symbol into ash? In the Texas vs. Johnson case, 1984, Gregory Lee Johnson burned an American flag in a protest at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas . While Texas argued it as a criminal offense, the Supreme Court argued, along with the First Amendment, that even though the proper treatment of the flag is encouraged, the action could be portrayed as a freedom of speech. So, does a state have a right to uphold it’s own laws, even if they don’t align with the federal law?…

    At & T Mobility Llc Against Concepcion

    On April 27, 2011, the Court ruled, by a 5–4 margin, that the Federal Arbitration Act of 1925 preempts state laws that prohibit contracts from disallowing class-wide arbitration, such as the law previously upheld by the California Supreme Court in the case of Discover Bank v. Thus, businesses that include arbitration agreements with class action waivers can require consumers to bring claims only in individual arbitrations, rather than in court as part of a class action. In the case of AT&T Mobility LLC against Conception, the Court is whereas clause the subject of clauses of obligatory arbitration, when deciding if the federal law is over the state law when disputes arise. The plaintiffs in this case accuse of fraud to the telephone company, promising “gratuitous” cell phones and later…

    Fare V. Arizona 1979

    In the case of Fare v. Michael C. (1979), the United States Supreme Court rejected the California Supreme Court’s position that a juvenile's request to see his probation officer constitutes an invocation of the right to remain silent within the context of Miranda v. Arizona (1966). Sixteen year old Michael C. was taken into custody by the Van Nuys, California police department on suspicion of murder. After being advised of his Maranda rights, and acknowledging he understood them, he was asked if he wanted an attorney. His response was, “Can I have my probation officer here?” (Page 442 U.

    Supreme Court Case: Medellin V. Texas

    Medellin v. Texas was a local court case that took place in 2007, and accomplished the Supreme Court ruling that non-local treaties, such as the Vienna Convention of the Laws treaty, were not self-executing, and therefore, were not binding upon state courts; in other words that if state courts decide not to honor such treaties, they were not forced to. Jose Ernesto Medellin was a Mexican citizen who was born in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico in March 4, 1975. Although he was born on the other side of the border, he spent most of his childhood in the United States. In June 1993, when he was 18 years old, he confessed to the rape and murder of Elizabeth Peña who was 16 years old at the time and Jennifer Ertman who was 14 years old, and were…
