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.…
Rebecca Smith of POWCO, Inc. was presented with a difficult decision regarding the future of herself and many others involved with the company.

When Smith and Graham conversed about the recommendation they had each made, Smith seemed to get defensive by implying that Graham must not agree with her because of Pearson’s race.

Being that 46 executions took place in 2010, Teresa Lewis’s case would seem indifferentiable to the others; however, evaluations of Lewis’s mental state incited controversy based on the morality of her case (“The Death Penalty…”). The controversy erupted after Lewis’s defense lawyer filed a position for clemency briefly after disclosing that she had an I.Q. of 72, providing the justification that Lewis “did not possess the intelligence to have planned for the killings” (“US woman Teresa…”).

In the three texts, “Elizabeth Takes the Reins,” “The Necklace,” and “Playing Pilgrims,” each character is shown longing for something whether it be the simple feeling of control, or an actual object, such as jewelry or presents.…

The fourteenth amendment of the American federal constitution grants the citizens right to privacy. The amendment protects the American citizen’s privacy from being violated or intruded by either federal, state government or other individuals except for some few exceptions.
