Simon and Schuster, Inc. v. New York State Crime Victims Board
Is it constitutional to take away money from a person although it was gained for an interview with a publisher about one’s past crimes? Is it constitutional to take the money and give it to the victim of these past crimes? Does this or does not contradict the First Amendment which allows to express one’s mind freely with no discrimination concerning the context? The dispute over the Son of Sam law can be lead down to one question: whether speaking about crime is also a crime. Obviously, there could be two answers, one negative, and another one positive.

    Harris Vs New York Case Study

    In the case Harris v. New York, 401 U.S. 222 (1971) Harris was accused of offering in heroin to a covert officer on two events. In any case, Harris took the stand in his own safeguard yet denied the offense, and he asserted he sold the officer two sacks of baking powder. On round of questioning the arraignment utilized repudiating proclamations made by Petitioner to police not long after his arrest. The contradicting statements were made before Petitioner got his Miranda warning. Okay, I understand about the Miranda cautioning not given before Harris affirmation, but rather shouldn't something be said about the proof? Is it accurate to say that it was tested to be heroin or baking…

    Cobbs V. Grant Case Study

    The theme of Module Five is that every patient has a right to receive emergency care and every patient has a right to informed consent. The emergency medical treatment and active labor act (EMTALA) requires hospital that receive Medicare payments to provide care to patients regardless of citizenship, ability to pay, or legal status. Hospitals with EDs that serve Medicare patients must abide by EMTALA, which is a statute that requires stabilization of any patient that presents to the emergency department. An emergency situation as we identified at class is either when the patient is dying, when a woman giving birth, or something about unnatural disability. It's easy for patients to feel powerless in these types of situations, as they present with an illness. That’s why hospital administrators and providers have the duty to give patients every angle of their medical situation. Patients must have all the information about their diagnosis and treatment…

    Bronx Court Case Analysis

    The Bronx courts are so clogged that when a lawyer asks for a one-week adjournment the next court date usually doesn’t happen for six weeks or more. As long as a prosecutor has filed a Notice of Readiness, however, delays caused by court congestion don’t count toward the number of days that are officially held to have elapsed. Every time a prosecutor stood before a judge in Browder’s case, requested a one-week adjournment, and got six weeks instead, this counted as only one week against the six-month deadline. Meanwhile, Browder remained on Rikers, where six weeks still felt like six weeks—and often much longer.…

    Dread Scott was a slave in Missouri. From 1833 to 1843, he resided in Illinois (a free state) and in an area of the Louisiana Territory, where slavery was forbidden by the Missouri Compromise of 1820. After returning to Missouri, Scott sued unsuccessfully in the Missouri courts for his freedom, claiming that his residence in free territory made him a free man. Scott then brought a new suit in federal court. Scott's master maintained that no pure-blooded Negro of African descent and the descendant of slaves could be a citizen in the sense of Article III of the Constitution.…

    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.…
