This case fell according to the JCPC under powers in favor of the federal government. The reasoning for this case is not convincing. The reason for this is that it does not ban alcohol for the entire country, but instead merely restricts and regulates it. The legislation for this case could have fallen under: section 92 (9), which deals with saloons, taverns, and shops; section 92 (13) which is about property and civil rights in the province; or section 92 (16) which are all matters of local or private nature. This law was about restricting how people were able to obtain alcohol, meaning how it is sold. Once it is sold it also becomes property within a province. Therefore the argument that the JCPC made that it…

Steve Arey and Terry Jordan were young, inexperienced lawyers who should have never even been considered for a capital case. Judge Persin, the presiding Judge in the case, however, decided on these two gentlemen because other more experienced lawyers refused to take the case because of the huge financial sacrifice it would require. Albeit public speculation that Judge Persin's previous profession as a prosecutor had led him to heavily favor the prosecution, his decision stood. The two prosecutors who Arey and Jordan would be opposed by were Mickey McGlothlin and Tom Scott. Both prosecutors had far more experience than the defense lawyers, but that didn't stop Judge Persin from appointing Arey and Jordan to the case. It was an obvious mismatch, intentional or not, and was just the beginning of many problems that would arise for the defendant's case.…

Thomas Van Orden, an American Lawyer, challenged the State of Texas claiming that the placement of the Ten Commandment monument on state capital grounds was unconstitutional because it symbolized government endorsement of religion, violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment (Van Orden v. Perry Case Brief). The Supreme Court held the monument constitutional as it was merely a recognition of the Ten Commandment in American history and served no religious purposes (Van Orden v. Perry). The Supreme Court also noted that many other government buildings, including itself, have some form of the Commandments as the recognition of its important historical meaning as a source of law (Van Orden v. Perry).…
In 1847, the St. Louis courthouse ruled against Scott but he was given the right to a second trial. In 1850, in the second trial, the jury decided that the Scotts should be freed. Mrs. Emerson did not want to lose the Scotts, so she appealed her case to the Missouri State Supreme Court. The Missouri State Supreme Court reversed the decision in 1852.
