    Grutter v. Bollinger was also a case in which race was still used as an admission factor. This case involved the admission process to The University of Michigan's law school. Just as the University of Texas they used the hard data and soft data process to admit different students into their program. Race was used as a plus factor under the soft data category and the law school was seeking critical mass by becoming more diverse within its student population. Yet, the question was how did the university know the race of the person? As they did not have a so called race check box. They asked different questions such as where the students are from or what language was spoken within their homes. The court again said this was ok, as they school was…

    Issues: In this scenario a student maintained residence in the town of Trenton, a community that does not have a high school. Students from this area are able to enrolled in Ellsworth or MDI high schools, however, due to behavioral issues the student was placed in a more restrictive environment in Bangor (Parent v. Trenton, 1999, p.2). During the spring of the 1998-1999 academic year the student returned home without “notifying the Trenton School Department of the student’s self initiated change in residency/educational placement” (Parent v. Trenton, 1999, p.2). The student was denied enrollment in both of the available high schools due to his/her intended date of enrollment, and failure to pass a background check (Parent v. Trenton, 1999, p.5).

    Bronx Court Case Analysis

    • 612 Words
    • 3 Pages

    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.…

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.…
