On August 14, 1994, Paul Hoolahan, Vanderbilt's Athletic Director, went to Bell Buckle, Tennessee, where the football team was practicing, to talk to DiNardo about a contract extension. In November 1994, Louisiana State University contacted Vanderbilt in hopes of speaking with DiNardo about becoming the head football coach for L.S.U.

    In Benic v New South Wales [2010] NSWSC 1039 the risk of harm was the plaintiff, a police officer, suffering psychiatric injury as a result of receiving a threat to his life in the course of his work. The alleged breach was the failure to provide prompt and appropriate psychological or psychiatric assistance. The court noted that whether the risk was not insignificant was to be analysed from the perspective of the defendant and was to be prospective: at [411]. The evidence was that the Commissioner of Police had taken a series of steps to address stress, including psychiatric illness, amongst police officers. This evidence satisfied Garling J that the risk of psychiatric illness from the defendant’s perspective was not insignificant: at [414]. It was reasoned that the risk of psychiatric harm:…

    Plessy vs. Ferguson

    The case of Plessy vs. Ferguson started when a 30-year-old colored shoemaker named Homer Plessy was put in jail for sitting in the white car of the East Louisiana Railroad on June 7, 1892. Even though Plessy was only one-eighths black and seven-eighths white, he was considered black by Louisiana law. Plessy didn't like this idea, and so he went to court and argued in the case of Homer Adolph Plessy v. The State of Lousiana that the Separate Car Act, which forced segregation of train cars, violated the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution. The Thirteenth Amendment was made in order to abolish slavery, while the object of the Fourteenth Amendment was to enforce the absolute equality of the two races before the law. The name of "Ferguson" was given to the case because the judge at the trial was named John Howard Ferguson.…

    In our society, people are always being treated unfairly whether it is or is not intentional. In the book “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, the character Tom Robinson was a hardworking crippled Black man living in 1930’s America. He was convicted for raping a White young woman named Mayella Ewell. Throughout the course of the book, Robinson was consistently victimized by the citizens of his predominantly White town of Maycomb, Alabama. Tommy Lee Hines is a 26-year-old mentally retarded citizen of Decatur, Alabama living in America in 1978. He was convicted for the rape of a White woman. Hines is an unaware victim in the struggle for civil rights. Tom Robinson and Tommy Lee Hines are good examples of people who have been judged unfairly over things they could not control. Their race, ability to express themselves, and verdicts in their trails are reasons why they are targets of unfair judgement.…

    David Walker and Frederick Douglas’ contrasting approach to the oppressive epoch of the antebellum South compare favorably to that of Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Both men were passionate oppressive on the issue however both had different takes on how the issue should have been addressed and ultimately resolved. David Walker’s approach compares to that of Malcolm X in that both men were extremely passionate in what they believed to be right and just and went about addressing those particular issues in more of a radical, risqué kind of way. Whereas Frederick Douglas’ approach compared to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in that both individuals matched the kind of passion on an issue that Malcolm X and David Walker shared, they just felt a situation no matter how unjust, should be organized and conducted in a more conservative manner. Perhaps the most key difference between both men is that David Walker was an advocate for the use of violence unlike his counterpart Frederick Douglas.…

    Appellant Lou Surivan Sisuphan took $22,600 in cash and $7,275.51 from (Toyota Marin [the dealership] defendant) his employer’s safe on July 3, 2007. He did this in hopes that a coworker would be held responsible for the disappearance of the money and would be terminated. Sisuphan was convicted of embezzlement on April 15, 2008. In June 2008 he appeals from the judgment of conviction, contending that the trial court made a mistake when it failed to instruct the jury that at the time he took the money, he intended to return it before criminal charges were filed. He also states that the trial court excluded evidence on that he restored the money to the company, claiming this evidence proved he never intended to keep it and therefore lacked the requisite intent for the crime.…

    The decisions made in McCulloch v. Maryland recognized and explained to the United States the nation’s need for a strong central government. After fighting in the War of 1812, the United States of America experienced a significant amount of disarray and difficulty without a bank to supervise the country’s finances and to provide a reliable institution that the population could depend on amidst all the chaos. Alexander Hamilton’s idea of a national bank would serve the purpose of providing one common institution that could help the entire country through its difficult times, but first the federal government needed to exercise supreme power over the state governments in order to ever possibly complete that task. While the federal government and…

    Dred Scott Vs Sanford

    The Supreme Court first heard the case of Dred Scott vs. Sanford in 1857. Dred Scott was a slave who lived in Missouri with his owner. His owner took him to Illinois and Minnesota, two states that prohibited slavery. After the owner died, Scott proclaimed himself a free man and his family free due to the fact that he had resided on “free soil” for several years and that his four children had also been born on “free soil”. He sued the man’s widow and won and lost his case in several courts over an 11 year period. At this point in history, the Missouri Compromise had been in effect for about 40 years, but was never officially ruled on by the Supreme Court. Many Southerners were hoping that the Compromise be ruled unconstitutional due to the…

    During the classical era, China and India emerged as the two powerhouses of the East asia region. Despite both empires using similar tools to implement social and political control, there are minute differences in beliefs and regional demographics that change the way these techniques are implemented. Both cultures used military dominance, a strong leader figure and previously established social hierarchies to remain in power. However, while the Chinese formed a strong, centralized government during the Han Dynasty, the Gupta remained fragmented and regionalized. Furthermore, while both cultures used moral codes and social guidelines to maintain social order, the Indian form was more religious, while Chinese version remained secular and focused on Confucianism and Daoism. Despite their differences, both empires were effective at maintaining order, and there methods are still being used today.…

    Korematsu V Us

    • 385 Words
    • 2 Pages

    During World War II, shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt passed Executive Order 9066 which allowed the Secretary of War to declare certain areas as "military zones" and gave the military power over the attorney general. These newly declared military zones were made in the western US and were areas "from which any or all persons could be excluded". Although the document does not specify any races or ethnic groups, later orders issued that all people of Japanese decent (even American citizens) were excluded from these military zones that included all of California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii. The Japanese in these areas were forced to evacuate to Internment Camps; where they could only bring what they could carry with them and where they would stay until further notice. Fred Korematsu was a Japanese-American citizen (American born) who decided to stay at his home in California during this time and was arrested for the violation of Civilian Exclusion Order No. 34. Korematsu challenged his arrest and the case was taken to the Supreme Court, where it was questioned if Executive Order 9066 violated Korematsu's 14th and 5th amendment rights (right to equal protection under the law and life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness). The court also questioned if Korematsu's constitutional rights were allowed to be violated due to the special circumstances of war. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court sided with the government by ruling that the government was permitted to deny the Japanese of their constitutional rights because of military considerations, and that such exclusion was not beyond the war powers of congress and the president since it was done with national security in mind. Almost 40 years later after serving his sentence, Korematsu brought his case back to court filing for a writ of Coram Nobis to correct the previous ruling and achieve justice. Korematsu won this…
