    Bily V. Arthur Young Case Study

    The litigation was brought by investors of Osborne Computer Corp. a computer manufacturing company. The business was founded in 1980 by Adam Osborne. The Company grew rapidly, and by fall of 1982, sales reached $10 million per month, making the company one of the fastest growing enterprises in the history of American business. Late in 1982, Osborne planned an initial public stock offering. In the process, the company retained service of Arthur Young to prepare audit reports and financial statements. Arthur Young issued unqualified or "clean" audit opinions on the company's 1981 and 1982 financial statements. In order to obtain funds to finance the company until the public offering was consummated, Osborne issued warrants to certain venture capitalists in exchange for direct loans. The warrants entitled the holders to purchase stocks at favorable prices, which would result in large profits to the holders when, and if, the public offering took place.

    Williams Vs. 03-30576 Case Study

    After the bus stopped and the passengers got off the bus, Deputy Bain and his dog entered the bus allowing his dog to sniff for drugs. On the outside of the bus, Deputy Townley and his dog Raja checked the luggage compartment of the bus. While doing so and watching the passengers leave the bus, Deputy Townley noticed Williams's avoidance of the dog and his interest in the dog's investigation of the bus and the luggage. Deputies told a sergeant it may be useful to talk to Mr. Williams. After Deputy Bain completed his check of the bus, Deputy Townley and his dog Raja entered the bus. Raja alerted to a black backpack which was inside on the bus, either in a seat or in the overhead compartment. After exiting the bus, Townley observed Williams still standing by the bus watching what was going on. The deputies asked Williams if he would mind talking with them and Williams agreed. He followed Deputy Townley, Deputy Bain, and Deputy Burrows (another officer present at the scene) to the luggage handling area of the bus station. The deputies identified themselves as officers and asked again if Williams would still talk to them and he agreed. When asked about his traveling, Williams said he was on leave…

    Morrison V. Olsen's Case Summary

    In Morrison v. Olsen, the issue of the Independent Counsel Provision in the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 was challenged and the court decided that it was not unconstitutional because it did not violate the separation of powers by taking power from the Executive and giving more to the Judicial or Legislative branches. Alexia Morrison had been appointed as the independent counsel to investigate Morrison to see if he had violated federal law; he sued her arguing that the Independent Counsel had taken away powers from the executive. The majority held that Morrison was an “inferior officer” due to the ability of the Attorney General to remove her for “good cause”, she can only perform certain limited duties, she is limited in jurisdiction, and…

    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.…
