In order to write Giovanni and Lusanna, Gene Brucker had to rely on primary historical sources, such as notarial transcripts and Florentine catasto records, which provide information created at the time and place, rather than speculative information created later on, but were also subject to the biases of those whose testimony and information were recorded at the time.

In Ricci v. DeStefano there were a group of firefighters who took a written exam for promotion in the New Haven, CT fire department. When the results were tallied, more white firefighters passed or did better on the exam than black firefighters, which would have led to a disproportionate number of white candidates getting promoted. As a result of this, the City of New Haven, CT Fire Department, threw the exam out and no one was promoted. This went to the Supreme Court and they found that by discarding the exams, the City of New Haven violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (website).

ANNECDOTE. The majority of the High Court in Clark v Marcourt, awarded damages of approximately A$1.2 million to the appellant, as the respondent was found guilty of breaching various warranties of the deed to purchase various property from a fertility centre, putting the appellant at a significantly better financial position than she would have been in had the breach not occurred. Prima facie, Clark seems to suggest undermining the compensatory principle in contract. ## This essay will analyse the decision in Clark through the doctrinal legal research method, using “normative” research. The aim of this research method is to answer the question of “what is the law” via logical reasoning and analysis of appropriate legal rules, and whether it applies to a particular factual situation.

In the Spring of 1984, May 23rd, felling like San Antonio v. Rodriguez was an unacceptable decision, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund filed a suit against William Kirby, the commissioner of education, in behalf of the Edgewood Independent School District. MALDEF’s main concern was the way Texas funds public school, they pointed out the fact that he poorest districts in the state, had $38,854 in property wealth per student, while the Alamo Heights ISD, which is in the same county, had $570,109 per student.

In Perry v. Central Bank & Trust, 812 S.W.2d 166 (Ky. Ct. App. 1991) it was reasoned as to whether the parties exercised due diligence concerning the suit and answering the summons. It also stated that carelessness by a party or his attorney is not reason enough to set an entry aside. Ky. Civ. R. 55.02. With that said, It can be argued, that Dr. Furlow fully intended to answer the complaint within the twenty 20 days; but was prevented from doing so, because of the trauma his family suffered at the hand of robbers the day before meeting with us. We can also argue that he had reason of an extraordinary nature justifying relief as contained in ground (f) Ky. Civ. R.60.02.

Salerno, n.d.) and providing evidence of illegal activities via court-ordered wiretaps, the government established that no condition or combination of conditions would ensure the safety of any person

This essay will argue that the decision reached in Cattanach v Melchior [2003] was the correct one. Supporting this argument is the courts departure from the principles established in McFarlane v Tayside Health Board [1999].Additionally, Cattanach extends itself by attempting to address and give legal clarity to the idea of compensable harm in relation to negligence of medical practitioners. This has ultimately led to Cattanach establishing a positive framework, previously not recognised by the courts, to award damages for the torts of wrongful birth and wrongful life. Finally, the reaction to Cattanach on the judicial and executive branches of government have had significant impact on shaping public policy in relation to these complex issues.

After Emperor Penguins lay their eggs and let them hatch, both the father and the mother live very separate lives. In the end, however, they reconcile to care for the baby who needs attention after birth; the father provides warmth in his nest while the mother hunts for resources. While these Arctic birds live separate lives after they give birth to a baby, they still recognize their duties to their growing child who seeks attention and nurture from their parents. Such a model of parenting, however, is obsolete in modern day America, where parents assume themselves to be relieved of financial obligations once their child reaches the age of eighteen. Such is the case of Rebecca Johnson, where parents are reluctant to pay for their child’s tuition.
