According to Professor Ernest J. Weinrib, corrective justice is the idea that liability rectifies the injustice inflicted by one person on another. This idea is based on the fact that the parties are considered to be in an initial equilibrium stage before entering the contract but when this contract is breached one party (usually the defendant) gains while the other (usually the plaintiff) suffers from the contract. Corrective justice is the notion of correcting this inequality by giving back…

Summary The essay, “The Potential Unintended Consequences of The O’Bannon Decision,” by Matthew Parlow, seeks to provide an analysis of the potential effects of the O’Bannon court decision. Specifically, Parlow discusses the effects that the ruling could potentially have on Title IX, athletic opportunities, and the values of the NCAA amateur sports system (Parlow, 2014, p. 203). Parlow begins with a brief description of the O’Bannon v. National Collegiate Athletic Association case, and its…

We as humans are much more similar to chimpanzees than we believe. While reading through the book by Jane Goodall, “Through a Window, My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe”, I noticed many references as to why humans and chimpanzees can be of comparison with one another. Another source that I got information about chimpanzees and them being so similar to humans is the video clip watched in class, “Monkey in the Mirror”, this video explains the cognitive learning of chimpanzees and it…

In “Legal Realism, Critical Legal Studies, and Dworkin”, realism highlights the challenges and negative qualities that Positivism encompasses, not only through criticism but a detailed explanation of an alternate perspective of how the law should be. Hart then responds to these criticisms that point out underlying flaws in the realists views, which indicate his modern view on Positivism and how it has evolved from a better known classic version used previously. Even though Hart does defend Legal…

A contract is an agreement that legally binds the parties involved. Alternatively, it can be defined as a promise or a set of the same that are enforceable by law. By getting into an agreement, parties acquire obligations and rights which are enforceable by the court of law. The main method through which such agreements may be enforced is by the award of damages although in many cases the court may order the defaulting party to perform a specific action to compensate the aggrieved party. In…

Case One From my reading of this case I am of the opinion that Matt has a genuine case against the accused. I believe that Matt should take legal action against his competitor for misleading advertising. The accused has broken the Consumers Protection Act (2007). Matt has a valid case because it is affecting his business and if this problem persists Matt could possibly lose his business. Outline of legal issues • The advertisement of lower priced products compared to those which are in Matt’s…

1) By a “commons”, Hardin refers to a shared resource, such as public land, National Parks, and the seas. One of Hardin’s most prominent example refers to herdsmen on commonly-shared land. Each herdsman will attempt to raise as much cattle as possible, Hardin argues, on the land. However, the land can only sustain a certain number of cattle. The tragedy occurs when each herdsman continues to add more and more cattle, in order to maximize their profit, without thinking about the negative…
