Re: Proposed Settlement

Dear Counselor Whack,

On behalf of our client and in the interest of reaching an amicable resolve without extensive litigation, we propose to accept the sum of $92,000, as payment in full, to dispose of the matter.

However, this firm is prepared to forego these fees, if this notification results in an early settlement. In the alternative, our firm is prepared to move forward to trial.

We are confident that our client will prevail in going to a trial on the merits; whereby, in view of all applicable elements, and based upon the following rationale, the court will more than likely rule against your client finding the liability in both his actions and his inaction, to be compensable. It is reasonable to presume what irreversible damage to your client’s reputation will likely occur with a jury verdict of guilt, inevitably causing loss of revenues.

With all due respect, counselor, your client had clearly neglected the duty owed to our client, that being, to maintain the working condition of the appliances which he derives a profit from in his business endeavors, the absence thereof, caused Mrs. Greeves considerable loss and

    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…

    1. A business fails to meet the criteria if its practices are not equal and if has procedures unrelated to necessary job functions in the organization. In the case of McDonnell Douglas vs Green the Supreme Court holds that a charging party can prove unlawful discrimination indirectly by showing a failure in the organizational business process. In this case the hiring and firing of an employee, McDonnell Douglas was taken to court over their unethical tactics. The charging party has to only prove four things: they are a minority (protected group), they applied and were qualified for the position, the job was not offered to them, and the employer continued to seek applicants with similar qualifications. If the plaintiff can prove these four elements, the employer must show a legitimate lawful reason why the person was not hired.…

    In the 1920s, American stardom was on the rise. With the birth of the movie “star”, the public was more focused than ever on Hollywood. The crowds rejoiced when actors and actresses made blockbuster movies, but came down with harsh criticism if this perfect image was shattered. This is evident in the case of Virginia Rappe, a popular silent film actress who died in the days following a party with the biggest star at the time, Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle. The case was based on the assumption that her death, caused by a ruptured bladder, was due to being raped by Arbuckle. This case was filled with many conflicting testimonies along with the influence of the press making the persecution of Arbuckle impossible.…

    Gill v. Whitford is a Supreme court case that deals with political gerrymandering. A lower court ruled that the state's Republican-drawn map constitutes an "unconstitutional partisan gerrymander." The case involves district lines in Wisconsin that challengers say, “were drawn unconstitutionally to benefit Republicans.” The case could have a major impact on how district lines are drawn up nationwide.The court has said that too much partisanship in map drawing is illegal, but it has never said how much is too much. We were assigned to find out whether the gerrymandering in the case was justiciable or not. After 3 class periods of research and then some we have come to the conclusion that the political gerrymandering that happened in this case is not justiciable. It is not justiciable because gerrymandering isn't in the constitution, a very similar court case happened and it was not justiciable and lastly Insert: Mattie’s Argument (Shorter Form For Thesis Statement)…

    Branzburg v. Hayes was the only ever supreme court case to deal with reporter’s privilege. The ruling of this case was that reporter’s had no right to hide their sources in a court case. The chief justice at the time,Warren Burger, made a point that reporters, “like other citizens, [must] respond to relevant questions put to them in the course of a valid grand jury investigation or criminal trial (Fargo,2010).” With a decision that was five for and four against, this case was not an open and shut many thought it to be.

Interpreting a document that is more than two hundred years old is not an easy task to accomplish, having to combine…

    Roper V. Simmons (2005)

    • 291 Words

    The case of Roper v Simmons revolves around the question, should children be sentenced to death for a crime that was committed prior to the age of 18. While the 8th and 14th Amendments guard against cruel and unusual punishment, does the punishment of death, for those whose crimes was committed when they were under the age of 18, automatically fall under the category cruel and unusual punishment? The Missouri Supreme Court, basing its decision partially on the Atkins v Georgia decision by the U.S Supreme Court which concluded that executing the mentally ill was a violation of the 8th and 14th Amendments, ruled that Roper v Simmons fell under the category of cruel and unusual punishment. This decision led the state…

    In Grutter v. Bollinger, the Court accepted that the “critical mass” concept was not an “outright racial balancing”, where race was used as a factor in the admission process (Alexander 151). Therefore, the Court held that diversity is a compelling interest for the University of Michigan Law School as long as race is not the only factor considered for admission. In addition, the Court concluded that the “benefits of diversity are substantial” and “promotes cross racial understanding, helps to break down racial stereotypes, and enables students to better understand persons of difference races” (Chemenrisky 772). Moreover, “the Court accepted the university’s argument that the education of all students is enhanced with a diverse student body”…
