Data and Method
I use five datasets: Worldscope, Capital IQ, ADR database, Laporta’s legal environment database, and Hofstede’s national culture indexes. In this work, I use Worldscope to obtain data on a firm’s financial information and capital IQ to find the information on CEO turnover. Through this research, I found the list of cross-listed firms at the Bank of New York and Citibank’s ADR directory. I have three measures for cross listing. ADR contains all cross-listing’s in U.S. with the high ADR containing cross listings in the NASDAQ, NYSE. and AMEX. Capital dummy contains those ADRs where capital was raised. Canadian companies listed on U.S. exchanges are all considered High ADR. I merge my data from the Worldscope, Capital IQ, and

Size is the lagged logarithm of Total Asset in U.S. dollar. Performance is net income over total Asset, both lagged and in U.S. dollar.
Power distance index (PDI), as Geert Hofstede explains, is “this dimension expresses the degree to which the less powerful members of a society accept and expect that power is distributed unequally.” Power distance index dummy is equal to 1 if PDI is greater than U.S. PDI, otherwise it is zero. I expect the PDI to have a negative significant coefficient in model 1 and I expect a negative coefficient for the interaction term for countries with a higher PDI than the U.S. and a positive coefficient for the interaction term for firms from countries with lower PDI than the U.S.
Long Term Orientation Index measures whether people in a country are focused on a long-time or short-term horizon. Hofstede explains, “in the business context and in our country comparison tool this dimension is related to as "(short term) normative versus (long term) pragmatic" (PRA).” The U.S. LTO dummy is equal to 1 if the LTO is greater than U.S. LTO or is equal to zero otherwise. I expect LTO to have a negative significant coefficient in model 1. In model 2, I expect a negative coefficient of the interaction term for countries with higher LTO than the U.S. and a positive coefficient of the interaction term for firms from countries with a lower LTO than the U.S.
Civil/Common dummy is equal to 1 if the country’s legal system is based on the civil
Therapeutic jurisprudence is the study of the law in conjunction with the emotional and psychological welfare of those who come in contact with the legal and justice system. This report, in conjunction with the cases below, intends to show that therapeutic jurisprudence has a focus on the law as a social force that has the potential to enhance or inhibit therapeutic outcomes. In V’s case, therapeutic jurisprudence aided the defendant by giving him an option to rehabilitate instead of further compounding his financial circumstances if the magistrate were to fine him multiple times for future offences. Furthermore, in H’s case, the defendant was given a more lenient sentence, educating him about the consequences of his actions.
The plaintiff (Southern Prestige Industries, Inc.) initiated an action against the defendant (Independence Plating Corp.) in a North Carolina state court for a breach of contract. The plaintiff alleged that defects in the defendant’s anodizing process caused the plaintiff’s machine parts to be rejected by Kidde Aerospace. The defendant being a New Jersey corporation and having its only office and all of its personnel situated in the state filed a motion to dismiss citing lack of personal jurisdiction. The trial court denied the motion and the defendant appealed arguing that there were insufficient contacts to satisfy the due process of law requirements
Issue: No straight forward SOP in place with set ups for the client, URS or Minol to follow. Work arounds not working. Incorrect vendor codes and past due bills coming to Minol that have to be rushed to set up causing trickle down errors. For example, incorrectly coded AP files, extra research, delays in bill payment, late fees, potential shut offs to be averted and emergency payments by URS. Late funding is also an issue that trickles down and causes many problems such as late fees, research, the need to request provider extensions, and the potential for double payments as other players seek to resolve.
The reading I chose to reflect on was chapter three,” Entry into the Court System” from the book “Criminal Justice Case Briefs, Significant Cases in Juvenile Justice” by Craig Hemmens, Benjamin Steiner, and David Mueller.
In 1999, Maria Avila was hired as a housekeeper by Saratoga Hostel; she was 42 years old. Her duties included: cleaning twelve rooms a day, doing some laundry, and cleaning the hallways as well. Due to the economic crisis of 2009, Saratoga Hostel hired a new business consultant to find ways to reduce costs and personnel. The housekeeping department let go 3 of their 10 employees. The manager then decided to train all employees to clean 14 rooms per day instead of 12. When the training was over, 3 employees could not handle the pressure of the new routine, Avila was of them. These three employees were given another week of training. After that week, when
I returned Ms Dunlap call. She said wants to place a formal complaint against the CPS worker Miranda Larson because she illegally removed her children based on false accusations. She stated that Miranda, like the entire CW are doing criminal activities. She then asked me if I had talked to her attorney? What was my conversation about, What did I disclose to them?

She said that we should not be talking to her attorney because she just fired her.
The Eleventh Circuit found that the Commission’s selection process in 2003-2004 “categorically excluded” certain faiths from the list of potential invocational speakers for meetings of the planning commission. Id. at 1282. In addition, the court found that the Commission’s selection of invocational speakers was not based on an impermissible motive because it included diverse religious institutions. Id. at 1278 ( citing Marsh 463 U.S. at 793-94).

-There was a reckless lack of interest or concern to human life, resulting in death. (an example of this is a person unloads a firearm in a crowded street.
So, am I correct to say, if Mirna request you to pay a supplier or vendor of $100,000, you will go ahead without questioning? Isn’t this what you are saying below?
There are a number of individuals who make up the courtroom personnel. Each individual whether it be the judge, bailiff, court reporter, courtroom clerk, prosecutor, defense counsel, jury, defendant, or witness contribute to the shaping of legal law. The judge who presides over the trial has the ultimate authority in the courtroom. “The judge must see that the trail is conducted in an orderly manner according to prescribed rules and laws covering the selection of the jury, the presentation of evidence, the arguments of the lawyers, the instructions to the jury, and the rending of the verdict” (Arizona Judicial Branch, 2013,

Power distance is the same with the dimensions and the cultural values. The only difference is that with the dimension it is more focused on the inequality of power in terms of ethics whereas cultural values merely discusses the inequality generally (Kirkman, Gibson & Shapiro,
The United States and China aspire to command the world economy, but their lifestyle and standpoints look like east and west. When comparing the U.S. and China in Hofstede 6 dimensions model, there were four main dimensions that are strikingly distinctive. These dimensions include individualism, power distance, long-term orientation, and indulgence. Recognizing cultural differences is the first step towards understanding each other. The difference between the United States and China are pronounced, and they merit rigorous examination.
