    Kimberly Ellerth worked in Burlington’s Chicago office from March 1993 through May 1994, first as a merchandising assistant and later as a sales representative. Theodore Slowik was a New York based Vice-President of sales and marketing, supervising Ellerth’s immediate supervisors. Slowik made primarily the decision as to Ellerth’s hire and subsequent promotion. Ellerth spoke with Slowik when he traveled to her Chicago office and when she traveled to business related conferences in New York and elsewhere. Ellerth was required to get Slowik’s approval of special sales to her customers. Soon after Ellerth began working for Burlington, Slowik began to subject Ellerth to harassing acts and comments, coupled with threats that her refusal to submit would result in retaliation. For example, in the summer of 1993, Slowik made a series of comments about Ellerth’s legs and breasts. Ellerth never gave Slowik’s any indication that she was interested in him. Nonetheless, he continued to subject her to unwanted touching of her body. Ellerth resigned soon after Slowik refused to authorize a special project for one of Ellerth’s customers. Three weeks after resigning, Ellerth informed Slowik’s supervisors at Burlington that she had resigned due to Slowik’s harassment. She testified that she did not complain about Slowik’s harassment while still employed by Burlington because she feared for losing her job.…

    In the 1950 case of P. Lorillard Co. v. Federal Trade Commission, P. Lorillard Co., the makers of Old Gold cigarettes, were ordered to “cease and desist from making certain representations found to be false in the advertising of its tobacco products (Warner, et al., 2012, p. 950) From a practical perspective in the 1950’s caveat emptor, or “let the buyer beware” is not a fair or reasonable expectation. While the careful consumer could have looked at the article, the culture of the time was not anti-smoking as it is today. The careful consumer at the time was not savvy to the wealth of scientific data regarding smoking and health. The actual ad, see Figure 1: 1942 WW2 Era Old Gold Santa Cigarette Ad, states that the impartial tests were not done to boost sales or claim superiority of brand. The ad misleads the consumer to believe that it was impartially discovered that Old Gold had the stated attributes.…

    The New York Court of Appeals decision should be upheld in regards to Riggs et al v. Palmer case because one should not be granted inheritance by murdering one’s ancestor. For this reason, the New York Court of Appeals has decided on a naturalistic approach, which has deemed Elmer Palmer guilty for murdering his grandfather, thereby prohibiting Palmer from getting anything from his grandfather’s will. This essentially means that the court argues that judges use their morals in order to determine the outcome of cases. Therefore, rejecting the idea that it is morally acceptable to murder someone in order to personally benefit from their death. As a result, there has been a heated debate between naturalists like Judge Earl who argue that Elmer…

    According the Fourth Amendment, “protection applies only to situations where an individual has a subjective expectation of private that society willingly recognizes as reasonable” (Maras, 2015, p. 84). Thanks to the decision in the Katz v. United States case, the “reasonable expectation of privacy” test is used to established when law enforcement are allowed to conduct a search that does not violate one’s privacy (Maras, 2015).

    "It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." This was the main argument from Justice Abe Fortas that came into play at the Tinker v. Des Moines School District Case of 1969. The case involved a small group of students who silently dissented against the government’s policy during the ongoing Vietnam War by wearing black armbands to school. In response by the school administration, each of those students was suspended from the public schools they attended in Des Moines, Iowa. This case is a prime example of the Constitutionally protected symbolic speech we have rights to, and especially to what extent it is allowed in public schools.…
