The Law Enforcement Profession
.... perception of police in some communities.
Police in America are no longer strangers to innovation born of scandal. Law

Historically, law enforcement agencies throughout the nation have
experienced periods of low confidence in communities preceding episodes deemed
to be a breach of trust. Early pioneers in law enforcement history such as .....

Reasonable Accommodation In The Work Place Under ADA
.... of a job? What is considered Reasonable
Accommodation?
To be protected under the ADA an individual must have a physical or
mental impairment that substantially affects one or more major life activities.
The impairment may not be due to environmental, cultural, or economic
disadvantages. For example a person who cannot read because they have dyslexia
is considered disabled but a person who cannot read because they dropped out of
school is not. In addition persons who are perceived to be disabled are
protected by ADA. For example, if a person were to suffer a heart attack, when
he tries to return to work the boss might be sca .....

Affirmative Action
.... time than the present to bring about change.
This action, that started with good intentions, would later lead to a different
and more complex form of discrimination.
When the Civil Rights Law passed, Minorities, especially African-
Americans, believed that they should receive retribution for the earlier years
of discrimination they endured. The government responded by passing laws to
aide them in attaining better employment as reprieve for the previous two
hundred years of suffering their race endured at the hands of the White Man. To
many people the passing of these laws was an effort in the right direction.

Aircraft Law: Liability
.... issues of air law demands the maintenance and
promotion of a balance between technological advance in aviation and the
preservation of a wholesome environment by providing adequate policies and
prescriptions." (2)
The initial governing treaty passed in 1929 is known as the Warsaw
Convention. This is a multilateral treaty among nations that governs
international air transportation. It was based on the idea that because
aviation was in its infancy, there was a risk of destroying the carrier airline
if there was a major crash. Therefore, it limits the liability for carriers.
Unfortunately, this treaty also limited the liabili .....

that on August 16,1982, that he found Mr. Seichek asleep in the reception area

Court Case Number 15: Bowers V. Hardwick (June 30, 1986)
.... are
characterized as those liberties that are “deeply rooted in this Nation's
history and tradition.”
Proscriptions against a fundamental right to homosexuals to engage in
acts of consensual sodomy have ancient roots. Sodomy was a criminal offense at
common law and was forbidden by the laws of the original thirteen States when
they ratified the Bill of Rights. In 1868, when the Fourteenth Amendment was
ratified, all but five of the thirty-seven States in the Union had criminal
sodomy laws. In fact, until 1961, all fifty States and the District of Columbia
continue to provide criminal penalties for sodomy performed in pr .....

try and be ethical about the issue he/she should give the appearance of ethical
procedure. One way this could be done is that a recommendation could be made
rulemaking be in a formal format. In addition she/he should be very careful to
limit ex parte contacts between himself and his former business associates.
Under no circumstance should the Director have conversation of any nature
involving this case. Under the circumstance that the drug was or was not
approved, the case could go before Judicial review, there any appearance of
unethical behavior could not only be be evidence to support a plaintiffs claims,

Canada's Copyright Law
.... actors, producers and everyone else who
collect royalties from the tapes lose money. If the companies start to lose
money, they raise prices. Thus a vicious circle begins. As prices go up, fewer
people buy original copies. If less people buy the original cassettes prices
will once again rise.
Another major form of piracy is plagiarism. The stealing of someone
elses ideas or work. The biggest category of people who fall into here are
students. Very often a student when doing a research paper will "accidently"
forget to footnote his work. By "forgetting" to give the author credit, the
student has claimed the work as .....

Keep Our Water Clean: Clean Water Act
.... water and totally reverse them. This bill will take apart the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, leaving loopholes for businesses
desiring to pollute our waters. This bill also demonstrates a flagrant disregard
for the state of scientific and technological knowledge in the area of water
quality. It will corrupt our water in such a way as to totally abolish the Clean
Water Act, rendering it obsolete.
The intent of the of the Clean Water Act Amendments of 1995 is to

This increase in flexibility is meant to relax some regulations dealing w .....

Development Of Defense Of Provocation
.... effect of provocation on human frailty. " In this regard the
difficult concept of the "reasonable man" or the "ordinary man" has developed
and with it the legal doctrine that provocation must be such as would not only
cause the person accused to behave as he did but as would cause an ordinary man
to so lose control of himself as to act in the same sort of way. It is therefore
interesting to examine how the doctrine of common law in relation to provocation
has responded to changing societal needs and values. It also provides a useful
case study in which the development of common law doctrine can be observed. It
is useful to conduct .....

Lincoln's Battle With His Cabinet

opposed Lincoln's control of the Union. This made Lincoln's position as
Chief of State exceedingly difficult and hindered his communication and
control of the military. As time passed, however, Seward recognized
Lincoln's capabilities and gave him complete loyalty (Simmons 174).
This could not be said of Salmon P. Chase, Lincoln's first
secretary of the treasury. Blinded by an inflated ego, Chase pursued his
own presidential aspirations. He was in constant conflict with Seward, and
in general opposition to Lincoln, particularly over the issue of slavery.
Chase has been described as "jealou .....
