Reply to Andrea: Your thoughts about companies would not want to share information with their employees that there are resources available is a spot on description. SPLC and DOL thought me and became aware about my civil rights I’ve learned that each citizen of this country (US) should know their individual rights. I’ve shared this information to my friends who are nurses and scientist at the party, they were thankful to me. They have learned simple things but have impacted their life. I would say, “Ignorance of the law excuses no one” (John Selden) not all knows the laws, it is imperative to share information to the people who we care to protect them from being abuse at their workplace.

In my opinion, I think Corey was feeling hot cognition, hot cognition is a hypothesis on motivated reasoning in which a person thinking is influenced by their emotional state.
When considering the facts of the Margolin’s lawsuit with the rules of jurisdiction, first one must understand when personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction would be applicable. As stated in the textbook, “Personal Jurisdiction is a court 's power to render a decision affecting the rights of the specific persons before the court. Generally, a court 's power to exercise in personam jurisdiction extends only over a specific geographic region.” (Kubasek, pg.42, 2009). Before a court can decide to implement control over a person, they require a minimum contact within the district in which the court is over. In this case, the minimum contact was established over the internet when Margolin inputted information over the internet that completed the business transaction. Since the contact is through the internet, and not within boundaries of the state of California or Florida, the court can exercise personal jurisdiction Margolin’s lawsuit over Funny Face and Novelty Now (Kubasek, 2009).
In “Before The Law”, an article written by Jennifer Gonnerman published in The New Yorker, the dispiriting true story of a teen from the Bronx is used as a precedent to highlight the glaring problems with New York City’s criminal justice system. In May of 2010, sixteen year-old Kalief Browder and his friends were arrested on robbery charges after returning home from a party in the Bronx. The ensuing events led him in and out of holding cells, granted him a bail of three thousand dollars (which his family was unable to afford), and eventually led to him being transferred to the infamous Rikers Island; Where, despite never being convicted of any crime (let alone receiving a fair trial), he was imprisoned for nearly four years. Gonnerman
Breaking the law is never justified because the law is there to maintain order and prevent chaos. In Scene 3, Haimon promclaimed, "Then she must die. -- But her death will cause another... If you were not my father, I'd say you were perverse."(Scene 3, line 119 & 125). This illustrates how Haimon is siding with Antigone, henceforth showing fragmentation between those in the kingdom. Since Haimon is siding with Antigone it causes more conflict and friction that disrupts the kingdom. If Antigone didn’t bury Polyneices like the law prohibited it wouldn’t have eventually led to Haimon rebelling against his father and creating chaos within the kingdom. Furthermore, Antigone's post conventional level of moral reasoning clashes with Creon's level
The Torah, the Tanak, the Hebrew Bible, and the Pentateuch. No matter how you say it they all mean the same thing. The Torah is the foundation of Judaism: the most sacred documents. The word Torah can mean numerous things. It often simply refers to the T in Tanak. It is most commonly translated to mean “ the law”. There are five books that make up the Torah. These books are referred to as the Five Books of Moses: Exodus, Genesis, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The books of the Torah tell the Israelites a story. A story that begins where we begin, and ends before the introduction of the Savoir. It is often questioned, who the author(s) of the Torah is (are). For this question there are generally two main hypotheses: Mosaic Authorship and the Documentary Hypothesis.

Case one is based on Nesbitt, who graduated from Brainiac University Law School. “He applied for a job at Dewey, Getem and Howe”, and was granted an interview. Dillan Dewey, who was part of the interviewing process, was so impressed with Nesbitt’s overall interview that at the end they shook hands and he stated “We are very impressed with you young man! How would you like a position with our firm?” To which he replies “I’d be honored!”.
The legal issue surrounding the plaintiffs’ Janvier et al. deals with negligence in the workplace resulting in harm. Negligence is a form of tort law. The purpose of tort law is to compensate victims. Typically in order to claim negligence, the plaintiff must prove four things: duty of care, standard of care, that the plaintiff suffered injury or damage, and the defendants conduct caused injury to the plaintiff. Despite this claim of negligence, according to WCB legislation, the lawsuit filed by these plaintiffs is not actionable in court. As an employer worker relationship exists, the plaintiffs are not allowed to bring legal action upon their employer for damages. The WCB legislation prevents workers from suing their employers. In
Many constitutions all over the world provide basis for innocence until proven guilty. As such, the courts of law must always factor in the provisions of criminal procedure and natural justice when cross-examining offenders. In light of this, the exclusionary rule allows a defendant to argue his case if his privacy rights were violated before arraigned in court. In essence, the provisions of the exclusionary rule prevent the government authorities and machinery such as FBI and CIA from gathering evidence from an individual in a manner that disrespects the United States constitution. Therefore, the exclusionary law protects an individual against unreasonable search or seizure in line with the provisions of the Fourth
Rights in the workplace is an important subject and each party should know his and her role and responsibilities in the workplace as well as his or her rights that align to that role. Employees have a right to privacy, fair compensation, freedom from discrimination and many others (Holley, Jennings, & Wolters). Employers have to ensure their company’s policies to do not infringe upon their employee’s rights with the workplace. Within organizations that have union representation, employee’s rights are usually monitored and enforced by the union representative. Employers also have rights to know certain information about their applicants to their employees, that does allow for discrimination against a protected class. It is important that
Everyone agrees that workplace discrimination has no place in the modern business world. But not everyone understands the laws that protect employees against discrimination. In this case, what you don’t know can hurt you, especially if an aggrieved employee files a discrimination claim.
Rule of law in simplest terms means law rules, that is, law is supreme. The term “Rule of law‟ is derived from the French phrase “la principle de legalite” (the principle of legality) which means a government on principle of law and not of men. Rule of Law is a viable and dynamic concept and, like many other concepts, is not capable of any exact definition. It is used in contradistinction to rule of man. Sir Edward Coke, the Chief Justice in King James I‟s reign is said to be the originator of this principle. However, concrete shape was given to it by Professor A.V. Dicey, for the first time in his book “Law of the Constitution” (1885) in the form of three principles.
The rule of law is a difficult concept to grasp and proves elusive to substantive definition. However, the following work considers the attempts of various social and legal theorists to define the concept and pertinent authorities are considered. Attitudes and emphasis as to the exact shape, form and content of the rule of law differ quite widely depending on the socio-political perspective and views of respective commentators (Slapper and Kelly, 2009, p16), although there are common themes that are almost universally adopted. The conclusions to this work endeavour to consolidate thinking on the rule of law in order to address the question posed in the title, which is at first sight a deceptively simple one.
