    Justice Hecht Summary

    One of the issues that Justice Hecht presented is that veterans aren’t getting the basic civil legal services. In other words, when servicemen and women come back home from the military, they are having a hard time finding a job, paying off debt, having their family struggling, and benefits delayed. Hecht has presented that since many veterans are facing this problem when they return home, sometimes these veterans commit suicide by struggling from economic problems. The Supreme Court requested $4 million to help provide legal aid to veterans since many veterans are facing legal problems which they cannot afford lawyers. The Texas Veterans Commission has reviewed the Court’s request and in return they provided $1.5 million for legal aid and…

    Robert Ewell went to the witness stand but was disgruntled whenever a question was asked that he couldn't understand. Mr. Ewell described the night that Tom Robinson allegedly raped Mayella; “The night of November twenty-one I was comin’ in from the woods with a load o’kindlin and just as I got to the fence I heard Mayella screamin’ like a struck hog inside the house.” He goes on to say that he ran all the way home and he saw that “black Nigger” on his daughter. This caused excitement among the crowd of both colored and whites. Mr. Ewell went on to say that the room Mayella was rapped in looked like a reck, and after he saw Tom he ran to the house but was too late to catch him. He then explained that his next move was to run down and get the sheriff because he knew it was Tom Robinson. Mr. Finch asked if during all this running he was doing if he ran to go get a doctor, Mr. Ewell said no. The last questions for Mr. Ewell were very eye-opening questions asked by Mr. Finch. He first asked if Mr. Ewell agreed with everything the sheriff had said, after bewilderment from Mr. Ewell, he agreed with Sheriff Tate's testimony. Next, Mr. Finch asked Mr. Ewell if he could read and write his name, he said yes, and then Atticus asked him to show the Jury. After he proved he could write his name, Judge Taylor said“You’re left handed, Mr. Ewell”After this he sat down next to Mr.…

    Chapter four in Sandel’s book “Justice” talks about markets and morals. In this chapter we consider the morality of paying people to perform different types of work such as fighting wars and bearing children. The question that stands is whether there should be a market, when money is involved, to the aspect of morality. One good example that Sandel portrays in this chapter is “Pregnancy for Pay.” Thinking through the rights and wrongs in this example helps clarify the differences among leading theories of justice.…
