    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.…

    Thompson Vs. Oklahoma Case Study

    The case of Thompson versus Oklahoma raises a number of issues regarding the trials and punishment of juveniles for heinous crimes. This case was argued on November 9, 1987 and involves the trial of fifteen-year-old William Wayne Thompson. Along with his older brother and two friends, William Thomspon brutally murdered Charles Keene, his sister’s husband. His motive was revenge for abusing his sister. William Thompson was a “child” according to Oklahoma law, but he was tried as an adult, convicted with murder, and sentenced to death. The Court of Criminal Appeals of Oklahoma upheld this ruling.

    Case Study: Mallon Vs. Massachusetts Case

    Jessica Tice 10/10/17 Dear Dr. Concerned, In response to your questions about the rights of public health officials, I find that there are a great many details to consider. As I am sure you are aware, the United States Supreme Court decision in 1905 on the Jacobson v. Massachusetts case set a legal precedent in situations such as these. The ruling stated that the Board of Health had the right to require citizens to receive vaccinations in order to control a spreading smallpox epidemic . Legally, this supports the rights of you and your colleagues at the CDC to do what you deem necessary to protect public health, even if it may infringe upon the personal liberties of citizens.…
