Construction employee John Szyc, 20-year-old Jon Prestidge.

legally obligated to hold juveniles fully blameworthy for harming others. Juveniles and psychopaths share many of the same neurological deficits as a consequence of incomplete or stunted neurodevelopment. Thus, many of the arguments the Supreme Court have made against retributively punishing juveniles apply to psychopaths as well. I argue that there is, therefore, no in principle reason for blaming psychopaths and not juveniles. If one largely mitigates juveniles’ blame, then one must…

The writer Francesca Minerva, in her article named “Why shouldn’t the baby live?” published in 2011, in the Journal of Medical Ethics, in which she discussed the claim of euthanasia in infants , and whether it should be legally and ethically permissible or not, she took the side of supporting the previous claim, and she called for allowing for the euthanasia in infants.

In this section I turn to a critical evaluation of Williams’ objection, beginning with Cohen’s own rebuttal presented in chapter 8 of Rescuing Justice and Equality. Cohen reconstructs Williams’ argument like so: P1: Justice is a set of demands P2: Demands of justice are to be discharged (only) collectively C1: An individual is not obliged by a (punitive) demand of justice unless others in general are disposed to observe that demand. (By 1 and 2.) P3: You are not obliged to discharge a demand…

Women earn almost 60% of all bachelors degrees, and masters degrees, and are beginning to crowd out men even in engineering and science (Rosin 149). This trend is not limited to the United States- in Qatar, women make up nearly 70% of college graduates (Rosin 150). In China, men account for 80% of the fifty million…

Pro-life Pro-choice or pro-life, has been an age old debate that has plagued Americans for many years. Although abortion has officially been legal since the Supreme Court declared it legal with Roe v. Wade court case in 1973, the debate has continued to brew. Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures performed in the United States more than any other procedure. In my opinion abortions should be illegal because you are taking a person’s life; adoption is always an option, and abortion…

used in social scientific explanations. Instead, scientists came up with the terms social and cultural capital to define the difference in educational backgrounds of various groups. Education of all Handicapped Children Act 1975 and statistics: The federal government required school districts to provide special education students with free and appropriate schooling. By the 1990s, 12% of the public school population attend the program. The goal was to help students with learning disabilities and…

guilty to 11 counts of murder and 8 of severe bodily harm under s.35 (2) of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW). The admission lead to the Supreme Court judge settling on a minimum of 11 life sentences in prison in consequence to his crime. In doing so, the Supreme Court examined s.61(1) of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999. Section 61 adds that a sentencing court is to appoint a sentence of incarceration for life for murder (and other serious drug offences) if it is convinced…

Chief Justice Earl Warren Many Supreme Court Justices have left behind some type of legacy. John Marshall for instance, through the Marbury v. Madison case he was able to confirm the establishment of judicial review- the ability of the Supreme Court to limit congressional power by declaring legislation unconstitutional. In his paper, I will be focusing on former Supreme Court Justice, Earl Warren. This paper explains his early life, law practices, and the legacy he left behind. Earl Warren…
