    Connecticut V. Cardwell Case Study

    4)The case we read in class that I enjoyed the most was State of Connecticut v. Cardwell. I primarily liked it because it best exemplifies the difference and complexity regarding the sale of goods and the helps reflect the distinction between a “shipment” and “destination” contracts. I disagree with the trial courts judgment that Cardwell sold tickets within Connecticut and thereby violated Connecticut statute. However, I agree with the judgment of the court after the appeal. The transfer of goods occurred in Massachuestes, therefore the sale of the tickets, as defined by the code, occurred in Massachusts.…

    Summary Of Walter Dean Myers's Novel 'Monster'

    In writing his novel “Monster”, Walter Dean Myers used his experience to keep the judicial system relevant to his points while still realistic. Steve’s attorney, O’Brien, is honest about her role in the system to Steve, telling him, “My job is to make sure the law works for you as well as against you.” Instead of pretending to be crusading for a not guilty verdict, O’Brien tells the truth that she intends to help hunt down the truth both for and against Steve as an unbiased tool of the court. This means that she will insure that the jury’s predispositions do not change their verdicts, that the prejudice of the court doesn’t change the evidence given in court, and that the evidence against Steve is legitimate and/or nonexistent.…

The forth element in the case stated, “SSCC treated similarly situated employees outside of Hampton's protected class more favorably” (Hampton). According to the court, Hampton failed to establish the prima facie case of bring substantial evidence of employees of another race who were tried fairly. The plaintiff brought evidence of three colleagues, also coaches, who were White (Adam Rhoden, Steve Machen, and Gerry Ledbetter) who engaged in misconduct and were not demoted or transferred to another division. However, the first two coaches that Hampton supplied, as evidence to the court did not suffice because both coaches, Rhoden and Machen, incident involved another athletic director than whom the plaintiff was suing.

    Legal Disputes: The Buffalo Creek Case

    It is good that most disputes are settled before reaching the Supreme Court because like previously stated, the Supreme Court does not have the capacity to decide on every legal dispute. In fact, an extremely small portion of cases reach this level because this legal of jurisdiction is for the most controversial and influential cases. Many cases are settled before even going to an actual trial. This allows the courtroom workforce to save time, money, and the effort of a tedious trial. In the Buffalo Creek Case, the ability to settle before going to trial ensured that the victims of the disaster would receive the most money they could without waiting out even longer for a trial.…

    Supreme Court Issues: The Mapp V. Ohio Case

    “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated,” Mapp V. Ohio (1961) dealt with that very sentence of the constitution. Were the officers at fault or Mapp? This complex question has a complex answer one that puzzled the Supreme Court and led to a change in criminal procedure. The verdict was a strict interpretation of the constitution. The fourth amendment was relevant because the fourteenth amendment grunted due process. It was a very good decision, it protected the black minority who at the time were being routinely harassed and convicted for no reasons. This decision certainly did not stop that but it made it harder…
