    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.…

    Chimel Vs. California Case Study

    Chimel v California (1969) was a landmark case that involved Officers armed with only an arrest warrant, enter Ted Chimel’s home and arrest him for burglary. The Officers decided to search his entire house in search of the stolen coins from the burglarized coin shop. They justified their search maintaining that it was to uncover evidence but that it was incident to arrest. Chimel was convicted and his appeal reached the U.S. Supreme Court; where they overturned the ruling stating that “the search of Chimel’s residence, although incident to arrest, became invalid when it went beyond the person arrested and the area subject to that person’s “immediate control” (Schmalleger, 2014). This case gave officers the authority to conduct a protective…

    In 1976, the California Supreme Court ruled that psychotherapists have a duty to warn and protect potential victims if their patients made threats or otherwise behaved as if they presented a serious danger of violence to another. This ruling happened because of the Tarasoff Case of 1969, in which the court determined the need for therapists to protect the public was more important than protecting patient-therapist confidentiality.

    A male prisoner contends that California's refusal to allow male inmates to apply to the ACP violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. William Sassman is a male prisoner in the California Department of Corrections (CDCR). He applies for the Alternative Custody Program (ACP), which allows low-level offenders to reunite with their families early.

    Should Miss Clare Be Taught In School Essay

    I’m surprised she hasn’t already been fired, just because of her personal life. Weekly, Miss Clare walks into class and asks us how we like the latest thing she stole from the shopping mall. We all wonder how she hasn’t been caught yet, and how the principal hasn’t found out about her illegal activities outside of the classroom. She constantly tells us there is nothing wrong in taking things that aren’t yours if you’re too poor to buy it yourself. On top of that, Miss Clare comes in on most Mondays drunker than a barstool bum. I don’t know how she is even able to drive to school without killing herself or someone else. When she sits in her chair at her desk she can barely keep from falling out of it. The principal must know about her drunken Mondays.…

    Troubled Note

    It was another warm day in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas where others and I are in class learning Math, Science or English. My day was different from the three or four hundred students at Patton Junior High, very different. In English class, I sat two tables from Ms. Pam. It was group project day and I was paired with Quintin Barnes and Megan Vanderham. “Ugh, Ms. Pam I do not like him,” yells Megan from across the room. She gives both Quintin and Ms. Pam the “eye.” “Oh well, you are working with a group or by yourself Ms. Vanderham and you and I both know you cannot afford that, ”Ms. Pam snarled. The whole class, including myself started to laugh. Megan quietly sat down with a red painted face and started to write. You could tell she was upset. The whole class period she did not participate in the group assignment. I glanced over my shoulder wondering what she was writing. I became even more intrigued once I saw the note was addressed to “you know who” Quintin. As the bell rang, signaling the end of the period, Megan handed me the note and asked me if I could give it to Quintin. She said it was very important. “Sure, why not; I mean our lockers are right next to each other,” I replied willingly. As I edged over to my locker, I was tempted to be nosey and read the note but decided against it. But what happened next made me wish I never agreed to deliver that note.…

    I learn to be a better person

    During recess, I saw her ran out of the headmaster's office, crying like there's no tomorrow. Her hot tears streaming down her delicate face and her side bangs fell to the front of her face messily, hindering her sight. Then, she murmur to herself, saying that she had pleaded again and again that she did not steal other people belongings, but it was to no avail.…
