However, with the desire and the possible underlying goal to maximizing profits, corporations often are faced with ethical dilemmas,…

such as spirits. It also gave rise to organized crime, and a notorious black market embedded throughout major cities. The issues of the prohibition in the 1920’s, and throughout the 1930’s, can be related to the problems in the United States currently. The laws and regulations controlling alcohol during the prohibition led to a rise in crime. The same can be said today. Young adults are finding ways to buy alcohol illegally, whether it be from peers of a higher age, or willing guardians. This…

tremendous support in the early 1900s. There were many factors that led to the passing of the prohibition act, and there were many factors that lead to it being repealed.

Therefore, New Jersey courts have developed the "clearly written" provision as a defense to evaluate arbitration agreements in employment contracts. The New Jersey courts will declare an arbitration provision unenforceable unless there is a specific and detailed agreement. Consequently, New Jersey employers must implement more detailed arbitration agreements. Although New Jersey has a general policy favoring alternative dispute resolution, it is clear the courts…

In terms of the Constitution, Congress believed this policy to be justified through the commerce clause. Initially this policy was unenforceable as private purchase of Native lands was not a criminal offense; Congress later corrected this matter with the Intercourse Act of 1793. Although the buying of Native land by anyone but the Federal government was now illegal, it did not deter the…

“The workplace was the primary arena in which Solidarity was forged. It was a bunch of guys in bloody aprons that got us these things, not some pretty smelling, sweet-talking lawyer in a hundred dollar suit.” This quote describes a trivial bit of insight into the foundations of a meat packing and poultry workers’ union. These “bloody aproned” workers had to come together to work to improve their current conditions. To put it plainly, these “conditions” were purely unacceptable and inhumane. Meat…

an extensive legal battle, the Supreme Court ruled that laws prohibiting interracial marriage were unconstitutional. Although such laws officially remained on the books in several states, the Lovings’ landmark victory rendered them effectively unenforceable, ensuring nobody else would have to endure the same treatment. The last law officially prohibiting interracial marriage was repealed in Alabama in 2000." Even up to 15 years ago that law was "overlooked" for the sake of people didn't want to…

The national state law for legal drinking is age 21. This was determined in 1984 when Congress passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act.

Likely Unenforceable Because It Does Not Meet All Four Elements of Enforceability. If chefs are considered professionals, Alabama courts will only enforce a noncompetition agreement when an employer has a protectable interest, the restriction is reasonably related to that interest, the restriction is reasonable in time and place, and the restriction imposes no undue hardship upon the employee. All four of these elements must be found, otherwise the non-compete clause will be held unenforceable.…

I. INTRODUCTION In Plato’s dialogue, Minos, Socrates identifies weaknesses with each view of legal philosophy in turn - faulting state law for creating “some decisions [that] are unjust, unworthy of law”; social order as law for “bring[ing] in all of social life,” and; law as just or right for ignoring the way in which “opinions differ.” When viewed through Socrates’ criticism, law as ‘state law’ offers the most compelling account for the paradox that is law’s elusive definition. The following…
