For this professorship, I am proposing the production of a documentary that looks at the issues of environmental racism in 1996 and the attempts by then Governor Foster and the state of Louisiana to violate the constitutional rights of citizens of Convent, Louisiana. Specifically, among other constitutional rights, I will be looking at the violations of First Amendment, specifically the right to free speech and the right to peacefully assemble. Background: In 1998, Robert Kuehn and Oliver…

ARGUMENT I. THE PETITIONER, IN THIS CASE, WAS AN EMPLOYEE OF PLUS BUILDING, INC., AND NOT AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Respondent claims that Petitioner Mr. Kroplewski was not an employee of Plus Building, Inc., but an independent contractor. Although there is no rigid rule of law to determine whether an employer-employee relationship exists between parties, such determination depends on the particular facts of the case. The range of factors is considered in making that determination…

Every ten minutes, an American gets his or her name added to the national waiting list for an organ transplant (Team, 2016). These people have illnesses that damage their organs permanently, and their only long-lasting cure is organ donation. According to an Australian organ donation organization and Woolcott research, “there can be up to 1,400 people on the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) waiting list at any one time” (Woolcott, 2014). This list can be condensed if more people were to…

The court will probably find that Bill and Sandie’s possession of the Green was “open and notorious.” This is one of the five elements of adverse possession. Possession is “open and notorious” when the adverse claimant’s use of the property can be observed, by another, through the erection of a structure or participation in activities that can be seen. Appalachian Regional Healthcare. Inc. v. Royal Crown Bottling Co., 824 S.W.2d 878 (Ky. 1992); Kentucky WCTU v. Thomas, 412 S.W.2d 869 (Ky.…

Every day more Doctors are turning to the LVAD ( Left Ventricular Assist Device) as an alternative to a heart transplant. Many people with heart failure are not good candidates for heart transplants and because there are not enough donated hearts, the list has to be narrowed down very carefully to receive a donor heart. The patient may not be considered a good candidate for a heart transplant if they smoke or have an alcohol abuse problem, have an infection, cancer, bad diabetes, or if all…

In response to learning activity 1 question 1, I agree that Beta Corporation is the principal. It is clearly stated in the text that “under corporation law the officers and all employees are agents of the corporation” (Advanced Business law and the Legal Environment, 2014, pg. 1325). However, I do not agree with your evaluation of the employees as principals. Arnold, Carol, Dave, and Erin are all agents of Beta Corporation. However, I may be inclined to argue that Carol, Dave, and Erin are all…

Organ Donation by Prisoners There have been rumors that China has been harvesting organs from the prisoners on a massive scale. There hasn't been a total amount of executions that China has done because they do not report them all but after executing them, they take the organs and do secret operations. However for the people that do not agree with Chinaś communist government, retrieving organs from prisoners have had bad outcomes because they stood up for the prisoners. They have their organs…

There are many stories spread around that someone has voluntarily donated one of their organs to someone else, this is Michael Poulson, he just ends up regretting his decision to do so. He writes an article called,‘‘At 18 years old, he donated a kidney. Now, he regrets it.’’ The Washington Post. He spreads about his experience in how he felt before, during and after he donated his kidney to his stepfather’s brother. His purpose for writing is to share an experience that many people who have…

When commentators discuss the United States Supreme Court’s jurisprudence, there is often spirited debate concerning which decisions constitute the ‘best’ and ‘worst’ in the Court’s history. Far too often, this debate splits along ideological lines, with progressive commentators praising landmark decisions such as Roe v. Wade and Obergefell v. Hodges, and conservative commentators lamenting decisions such as Planned Parenthood v. Casey and Lawrence v. Texas. Regardless of one’s ideological…

consequences for any inaccurate information that they provide (Bright et al. 230). The GAL has proven to be one of the most discriminatory efforts of the court because the GAL often times favors the father over the mother and because they face no legal ramifications, they can falsify testimonies, which leaves the child in the hands of the lesser parental guardian (Neustein et al. 88). In Brisco v LaHue, it was determined that the GAL is guaranteed absolute immunity in the judicial process…
