Plaintiff’s counsel has sought the deposition of the general manager of the restaurant who was working at the time of the accident and who spoke with the Plaintiff after the fall occurred. We have had some scheduling issues which has prevented the deposition from taking place. However, in the event he is deposed and/or testifies at trial, we anticipate that he will testify that it was the policy at the time to always position a large yellow wet floor warning cone at a location between the front counter and the drink station which would have been visible to the Plaintiff prior to the fall.

    For my Essay #3, The Juror’s Reflection, I have chosen to discuss the case of Moon Microsystems, Inc. v. John Zucchini. I have chosen this case as I found John Zucchini sounded very innocent during my first read through of the trial description, but on each successive read through I found he sounded more and more guilty. I believe that Zucchini would have had a hard time justifying any benefits of his chosen domain name outside of the gained popularity through Moon’s customer’s confusion. In this case, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff, Moon Microsystems, Inc.…

    The crux of the Michigan case rest largely upon nine (9) purported intercepted calls, which if proven false would not subject either brother to an indictment or to Michigan’s jurisdiction. The record lacks any evidence to prove that the lawyers filed several motions important to the outcome of the case. They did not file a Frank’s motion, a Motion to Suppress Evidence of Illegal Wiretapping under Title III and there is no motion under 901, 704 or 701 that could identify the voice or establish the identity of the parties to the telephone calls. Further, the courts have expressed great danger of unfair prejudice in allowing expert testimony to offer an opinion about drug code words in a narcotic transaction. It appears from the record that David and Solomon's lawyers lied when they claimed that they moved the Court with these motions and further that the government experts identified Solomon’s voice; therefore, in light of that information that a plea was their only option.…

    The Riley V. California case focused on whether a phone search required a search warrant. According to Liptak, the issue was first brought to attention in 2009, with the arrest of David L. Riley in San Diego. The article, “Riley V. California”, explains the various issues taken into consideration by the supreme justices. The issues included were: the “warrantless search exception” that allows officers to search for anything that they feel threatens their safety, the justices introduced the issue that cellphones are like “minicomputers” and as Liptak writes, Justice Roberts believed that “the word cellphone is a misnomer” and could be considered many other things. Liptak also presents the issue that the ruling would apply to searches on various other things such as laptops and tablets.…

    Amicus Brief Essay

    Abstract In previous research studies, it has been indicated that amicus briefs which have been filed by organized interests groups have an influence on the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to issue a writ of certiorari. However, in past studies, the reasons which lead organized interest groups to file an amicus brief are left unknown. I seek to identify the most active participating organized interests as amicus curiae, how often they participate and when they decide whether or not to pursue a case before the Supreme Court while under the review for a writ of certiorari. I also specifically examine the factors which influence the number of amicus curiae briefs filed in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. I argue that (1) organized interest groups will file an amicus brief in a case presenting the greatest opportunity to achieve long-lasting policy goals, (2) where a case addresses a low-information environment of the Court, or (3) recognizes uncertainty in influencing group behavior.…

In order to establish constructive knowledge, the object that may pose harm must be there for an extended period of time. The extended period of time must be reasonable in that there was sufficient time for the risk of harm to be removed. The court will rule in favor of Ms. Pedroza due to the substantial length of time that the mop water was left on the entrance, enough time for a reasonable person to check on it and determine its probable risk in causing harm.…
