. The court ruled that the warrantless search of the dormitory room by the campus police violated the defendant's constitutional rights and that all evidence obtained as a result of the search should be suppressed in the case Commonwealth v. Eric W. Neilson, 423 Mass 75 (1996). College officials searched the room because they had reason to believe that there was an animal inside the room, which is against school policies. When they got in the room they proceeded to look in the closet; there they found a marijuana plant. The college officials immediately called the police and when they arrived they took pictures of the plant for evidence, and then with the help of the college officials, removed it from the room.…

Charles Dickens portrays Madame Defarge, Sydney Carton, and Charles Darney as morally ambiguous characters. Dickens’ background as a muckraker dissected into it to reveal the hidden story boiling underneath human nature. Muckrakers are incredibly objective, as was Dickens’ writing style. His past experiences gave him an insight of morally ambiguous characters to use in his novel. Madame Defarge can clearly be described as hasty, vengeful, whatever nasty adjective seen fit.…
Lawrence Brosseau was wrongfully convicted to due language barriers and lack of effort from his defense lawyer. Brosseau is an Indigenous and was twenty-two years old at the time of conviction. His lack of English speaking meant that he had to use a Cree interpreter as a lawyer while in court. However, the interpreter he was given could hardly understand him, so his testify was inaccurate. In the article, his lawyer says, "I don't pretend to have any particular understanding of his mind or of his intent."…
In 2012, after almost eight years of litigation, the parties announced that they had agreed to the largest class action settlement in US antitrust history. Judge Gleeson took an unusual approach to his supervision of the case. Having previously overseen the 2003 settlement of an earlier antitrust class action against Visa and MasterCard related to the acceptance of debit cards, Judge Gleeson clearly believed that there should be a final resolution of merchants’ grievances. While Judge Gleeson indicated that default interchange, and Honor all Cards/Issuers and related matters should be resolved by legislation, in the face of congressional inaction, the litigation was poised to put these issues to bed, once and for all.…

“The good news is that the superintendent of Souza-Baranowski is very smart and through and a decent human being, who I’m sure will do everything he can to keep Mr. Hernandez safe,” Walker added. “The person at the top sets the tone.

Dr. Alexandre Manette was an ethical doctor with a respectable practice and loving wife who lost everything for eighteen years. Dr.Manette spent eighteen years "in secret" as a hostage in the Bastille before the French Revolution. He was held as a prisoner because in the course of his medical practice he learns of corrupt activities that were committed by two members of the aristocratic Evrémonde family.

Dr. Alexandre Manette was "recalled to life" for five reasons; Lucie Manette has found her father.…
When discussing his popular work the Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens explains the main theme that “Death may beget life, but oppression can beget nothing other than itself” (Dickens). Death and oppression often go together, with oppression resulting in death or death resulting in oppression. However, they differ in that death can result in something positive, such as the life of another person being saved while oppression only results in more oppression. Specifically, in The Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, the character Madame Defarge evinces this point because her childhood trauma affects her decisions as an adult. Like Madame Defarge, Queen Mary I of England, the mistreated and unwanted child of King Henry VIII, also emphasizes…
