The way that the prisoners should be treated differs between the laws, which make it difficult for the problem to be

Jorge Luis Machuca Gonzalez bought a car and that was sent from Houston, Texas. One day, Jorge’s wife had an accident and triggered the passenger-side air bag. The force of the air bag’s deployment killed Jorge’s 3 year old son, Pablo. Because of this, Jorge brought suit against the manufacturer, Vehicle Safety System Designer, and the air bag designer. The suit is about the car’s liability, negligence, and breach of warranty.

The following NAFTA case, Glamis Gold Ltd V.S United States of America, was submitted in March 2005 and was resolved in June 2009. The parties involved in the case include Glamis Gold Ltd, a Canadian investor of the Imperial Project referred to as the ‘claimant’ and the United States of America referred to as the ‘respondent’. The case investigates the alleged claims made by the claimant, in relation to federal government actions and California measures with respect to open-pit mining operations of the imperial project (Bureau of Public Affairs, U.S. State of Government, 2016), believed to have been in violation of Article 1110 and Article 1105 of NAFTA Chapter 11.

In the late 1900s, several Latin American governments, including Nicaragua, began drafting and enacting anti-FNC (forum non conveniens) statues to counter its effects. FNC is a legal doctrine which authorizes a court to reject a foreign plaintiff’s case on grounds that there is a more appropriate and convenient forum, the plaintiff’s home nation’s court. They enacted Special Law 364 to block or counteract the FNC dismissal of cases brought to the United States by former Nicaraguan agricultural banana plantation workers who claimed sterility from exposure to the toxic pesticide dibromochloropropane (DBCP) while working for the Dole Food Company. In Rozencranz and Roblin’s article, Tellez v. Dole: Nicaraguan Banana Workers Confront the U.S. Judicial System, the question of whether impropriety by Judge Victoria Chaney in the writ proceedings and whether an error by the appellate court in analyzing those proceedings took place is raised. This paper will examine how Nicaragua’s enactment of Special Law 364 blocks the FNC and can be called a “significant impetus” fraud that does not comply with international standards for due process. We will also focus on the legal defense strategy that Dole’s attorney’s employed after the Tellez jury verdict and prove how it is aimed to discredit the DBCP plaintiffs; as well as how Judge Chaney facilitated this strategy by disabling the adversarial process which suggests that Judge Chaney’s method of evaluating evidence is indeed flawed and

The first case the Court must tackle is the case of Holmes, the President of the Anarchy Party in Catonsville, Maryland. President Obama has ordered that Maryland turn Holmes over to federal custody where he will be prosecuted as a terrorist. The central component of this case is Maryland’s refusal to turn Holmes over to federal custody. The U.S. has sued Maryland in federal court. The question the Court must answer is whether the U.S. government can sue a state in federal court and if this is a violation of sovereign immunity. States are protected from lawsuit under the 11th Amendment, “The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.” In Alden v. Maine, the court found that “sovereign immunity derives not from the Eleventh Amendment but from the federal structure of the original Constitution itself” (Alden v. Maine, 1999). Furthermore, the Court found that sovereign immunity could only be abrogated when a suit
