King V Burwell Case Analysis
I have gone through all the assigned cases and I must admit it constituted one of the most challenging I have read thus far. Most of the legal jargons are notoriously difficult to comprehend. However, I braved the terms and what not coupled with patience and I did find a tiny light at the end of the tunnel. Among the three cases, I find King v. Burwell case interesting, in a sense, for the reason that the arguments raised in the case were about the subsidies for The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the likelihood that it could undermine the healthcare law by holding up federal subsidies that assist the low-income strata with the payment of their health insurance. The debate raised by King and three other Virginia residents’

    One of the ways to toll the statute of limitations for legal malpractice actions is that the attorney(s) against whom the claim(s) is alleged serve as counsel for the plaintiff on the same subject matter within which the wrongful act or omission occurred. This would seem to require privity between plaintiff and the attorney(s). However, this is not the case when it comes to trustees who are represented in their capacity as fiduciaries.…

The officers ended up outside of a certain apartment, were the smell of marijuana emanated. The police knocked loudly, and from inside the apartment they heard movement, and the police believed that the sounds were an indication that evidence was being destroyed.

    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.…

    Last week was a huge week for our supreme court. There were a couple really important rulings. There was the University of Texas Vs. Fisher, which argued race when accepting students into their school. There was also a voting rights act ruling as well. The one that stuck out most to me was the court’s decision on DOMA. DOMA stands for “defense of marriage act.” It was signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996 to prevent same-sex couples whose marriages were recognized by their home state from receiving benefits available to other married couples under federal law.…

    In the case of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, the Supreme Court made the wrong decision because a company is not a person and thus does not have the same rights as one. Hobby Lobby employs 23,000 people, all of which could receive all 20 state covered forms of birth-control. The owner of Hobby Lobby felt that certain forms terminated a life, which many doctors disagree with. Hobby Lobby claimed they were being forced to allow employees to receive these forms violated their religious rights and decided to pursue a court case against the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Sylvia Burwell.…

    Cross-examination is critical during litigation. Many cases have to be proven based on solely witness testimony because of the lack of physical evidence. Therefore, the responsibility of a witness to tell the truth relies on methods to encourage witnesses to maintain their credibility. According to Gardner and Anderson in their book Criminal Evidence: Principles and Cases, the witnesses must take an oath or affirmation that their say will be true and the witnesses must be personally present at the trial in order to ensure the right to confront as stated in the Sixth Amendment. Finally, witnesses are subject to cross-examination. But if it is found that the witness lies, he or she is taking the risk to be charged with perjury or in contempt if the witness refuses to answer a question, unless it is protected by privilege (Gardner and Anderson, 2010).…

    On March 23, 2010 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed by President Obama, raising the question for many of whether this new law was going to be more helpful or hurtful. With universal healthcare, healthcare coverage would be increased tremendously, costs would be reduced, jobs would be created, and consumers would be protected. Conversely, it will also raise taxes and wait times, lead to a smaller number of doctors, and infringe on some employers’ 1st amendment rights. Presenting both arguments for and against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act allows one to draw a conclusion on whether the new program will benefit or hinder the citizens of the United States.…
