Critical legal studies

According to Grime, “There is minimal evidence from empirical studies that suggests classroom separation of twins aids them in their intellectual or emotional development… data collected from the twins showed that forced separation produced feelings of sadness, anger, fright, and loneliness difficult to help their twins…

Picture this: a 12 year old blind boy being able to see again, a 30 year old burn victim waking up with skin on her arms, a 25 year old woman, who was previously incapable of having children, hold her own child in her arms, and a 46 year old lung cancer patient filling a new healthy lung with fresh air. While some may seem unrealistic, these scenarios are all made possible through the process of organ donation. When one chooses to donate an organ, the outcome almost always has a positive effect…

On the 25th of October I attended Canterbury crown court. The proceeding I observed was a sentencing and named ‘Operation Hailstone’. I will firstly make an overall summary of what happened and then reflect and analyse on my experience by highlighting what surprised me, what didn’t, what I learnt and what the whole experience has done for me. Once I had been through security and was seated in my chosen court room the judge walked in and the judges clerk announced the charge on Anthony Baker,…

The National Animal Defense Council believes that vibrations it alleges are too faint for humans to perceive, and as a result went undetected by humans or dogs for fifteen years, merits severely impeding Cambridge Biopharma’s ability to produce a lifesaving cancer drug. This is despite the fact the adoption center and kennel owned and operated by Middlesex Animal Shelter remains open, the building is intact, and the dogs continue to be adopted. Therefore, Cambridge Biopharma asks the court to…

experiences have played a role in my decision to pursue a law degree. A law degree, coupled with existing knowledge, would allow me to have a greater impact in people’s lives, as well as allow for further professional and personal growth. Fields of study, which I find interesting, are business law and healthcare law, with healthcare law being an area where I have developed strong opinions (issues with Medicaid expansion; problematic Medicare reimbursements to…

Organ donation is a very good thing in my opinion. Obviously from the stories that this website gives us are very powerful. A donation changed many people’s lives, like the veteran, or Brooklyn or anyone who has gotten a donor. I’m sure that their lives have changed for the better and that they are very appreciative of the donors. Obviously a lot of people have donated, according to the video, the US had more than 30,000 donors. Keep in mind that it has never been over 30,000 before so it is a…

Parties to the Case: In this case, Robert S. Bennett is the plaintiff and Les Cochran is the defendant. Procedural Posture of the Case: Robert Bennett and Les Cochran are both lawyers and they are former partners of Bennett Cochran, L.L.P., a Texas limited liability partnership. However, they have…

While everyone should be able to get a second chance at life if they are able to, the amount of organs available for transplants are limited. With that being said, what if alcoholism is the cause of their situation, or what about an 85 year old retired priest? Do they deserve to get a second chance? There’s 16,000 people that need liver transplants, but only 6,000 organs available per year. While it isn’t illegal to turn someone away or deny them from an organ transplant some may see it as…

not matched to race. People of different races often match each other. If there were more donors from their race/ethnic background than the chances of getting an organ from their race/ethnic background is greater, because compatible blood types are critical for donor and recipients. A larger diversity of donors could increase transplantation for all people. So all you have to do is when you go to renew your license tell them that you would like to be an organ donor. When you get your…

Due to the Court's mandated visitation imposed on my child, Natalie Cochrane, during the first week in August 2015, she has been irreperably harmed. Per the Court's order, I dropped Natalie off at Mr. Watkins' home. She had been at Dr. Alturk's office 2 days prior, for severe constipation. The doctor had prescribed Miralax, twice a day, for five days. I gave Mr. Watkins the prescribed medication and explained the dosage and instructions to both he and his mother, Christine Holt. Two days…
