FL Commissioner Roger Goodell was subsequently hauled in to testify before a House Judiciary Committee in October 2009 about safety measures, and stricter guidelines were established in the pro game to limit head injuries. Still, dozens of former players embarked on legal action against the NFL in 2011, claiming that the league had failed to adequately warn and protect them. As of the summer of 2015, more than 5,000 former players were involved in a consolidated lawsuit, with a settlement figure of $765 million deemed insufficient by a…
The main issue is that the lawsuit has not gone through and the grease and sewage contamination is and will cost a lot of money. The Alabama man otherwise known as Crook seeks $200,000 for repair and the devaluation of the property, $300,000 in damages for emotional distress and mental anguish, and another $300,000 in punitive damages.…
Legalism was based off a fixed system of laws that defined a specific fixed penalty for each certain offense. Legalism had no bias or changing of the penalties, no matter what class or circumstances, there wasn’t even an exception for the ruler who was considered to be above the law. While working a case judges had to find out what the crime was and then the punishment was given immediately, since penalties were fixed. On page 59, when Judge Dee begins to suspect Mrs. Djou of killing her husband due to having an affair with another man, he tells her that a woman killing her husband is one of the most terrible crimes to be committed.…

The issue at hand in Ibrahim, is one of a very sensitive nature. It is also one where human error drastically changed the life of one individual. Regardless, even though at the time of the decision the U.S. Government did not allow Dr. Ibrahim into the country, I do not think changes are necessary to the watch list procedures the United States currently employs. Judge Alsup wrote in his decision that this issue is one that can only be rectified with a post-deprivation remedy.…

The other requirement is whether LawTalk imparts economic value to both CFJ and its competitors. Illinois courts have stated that “the real value of a trade secret lies in the fact that it is not generally known to others who could benefit [from] using it.” Sys. Dev., 907 N.E.2d at 73 (citing Serv. Ctrs. of Chi.…
My poem also uses repetition of the question, “How could OJ be guilty”? This question was crafted after the villanelle style of repeating a line in the poem. The question was repeated in order to convey the misgivings that the members of the public felt during the time of the trial and to show the bias that people had towards OJ because of his celebrity status. This question also shows the lack of concern many people had for Nicole and Ron due to their main focus on OJ. At the time, it seemed that OJ became more of a victim instead of the murder victims and most people focused on whether or not OJ was guilty.…

Janis L. Irving developed a significant theory of group decision making that he called groupthink. Groupthink is an idea in which a group makes faulty decisions due to group pressures that lead to a deterioration of “mental efficiency, reality testing, and moral judgment.” Group members have to the extent of devaluing other people and valuing the group as their highest and only priority. These groups suppress any personal doubts, beliefs, or judgments and follow group’s leader suggestions. As a result, the consequences are devastating producing “a distorted view of reality, excessive optimism producing hasty and reckless policies, and a neglect of ethical issues.”…
Arthur Train, author of The Prisoner At The Bar, wrote about how the police court whom is the first step to justice. In 1905 the magistrates were the one that held rulings on misdemeanors and petty crimes, whether there rulings were justified or not could be held up to question. Someone who breaks the laws and before being convicted is considered a criminal; after he has been sentenced he is considered a convict; but during the proceedings he is considered to be a “prisoner at the bar”. When the criminal commits a crime he gets automatically sent to the police court where the magistrate will decide with all the evidence presented to him whether he is guilty or not.…
In the book, "The Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee" Judge Dee strategically solved three very difficult and treacherous cases, each with its own surprising culprit. Although Judge Dee was effective in solving the murders themselves, his flagrant disrespect to the elderly (a form of Xiao), obvious lack of humanity and courtesy towards his citizens and the people in his court (a form of Ren), and brazen use of spirituality (dreams and ghosts), and not pragmatism or ethics, as means to deduce guilt shows that he was not effective according to Confucian principles. To aid with this argument, effectiveness means the "The quality of achieving an intended result," and even though Dee solved the murders that he encountered, the means in which he solved…
