Julia Taylor's Case Summary

A toddler who is almost three years old died due to complications from cancer. Now, her mother wants justice as she claimed that the doctors failed to detect her daughter’s tumor despite visiting the northern nursing station at least 40 times.

The University of Texas at Austin is a world renown school with an acceptance rate of 40.2% as of 2013. Abigail Fisher, a white woman from Texas, sued the University of Texas for racial discrimination in the university’s admission program. Ms. Fisher lost her district court case and the Fifth Circuit Case three to zero; but the Supreme Court accepted her appeal for another trial. Due to Ms. Fisher not being able to attend The University of Texas, she was accepted into Louisiana State University shortly after. At LSU, she filed the lawsuit against the University of Texas to prohibit the university to use race as a factor in the future admission process.

Defendant Elizabeth Chagra was indicted for conspiring to commit first-degree murder of a federal judge. Defendant was tried and convicted, but this court reversed the conviction and remanded for a new trial. Before the trial on remand, a new grand jury returned a superseding indictment charging Chagra with conspiring to kill with malice aforethought.

Facts: Abigail Fisher (Plaintiff) is a Caucasian woman that was denied admission to the University of Texas at Austin (UT - Austin) for the fall of 2008. Fisher did not graduate in the top ten percent of her class; therefore, she was not automatically accepted to the University under the Top Ten Percent Plan. Instead, Fisher’s application was evaluated under the Holistic Review Program. The Holistic Review Program evaluates candidates based on their Personal Achievement Index, which looks at: (1) the mean score of candidates’ application essays; and (2) the candidates’ Personal Achievement Score, which is calculated through a holistic review of the applicant’s personal life, activities and leadership, accolades, and mitigates “special circumstances, such as the applicant’s socioeconomic status. . . and race.”

The defendant reported he was primarily raised by his grandmother in Pleasantville, NJ after his mother passed away when he was 7 years old. His mother's name was Sherry Taylor and his father's name is unknown. He doesn't recall what type of work his mother did. He described his childhood as good, and denied any instances of child abuse and

As a LEADS Graduate and former MFWC Leadership Chairman, I strongly recommend Dr. Carolyn Tedford to serve as the MFWC Delegate to GFWC LEADS. Against all odds, Carolyn has acccomplished incredible success that serves as an inspiration to women throughout our state. Determined, dedicated, and dependable, Carolyn has proven leadership skills in her family, in her career, in her community, and in our Federation.

The case study involving Ms. Julia Kate supports strong evidence that she has a clear claim for EPA violation. Although there are obvious distinctions between an EPA and Title VII violation, it can safely be surmised that she has enough evidence to suggest that a Title VII claim can be filed as well. Even though the colleagues of Ms. Kate are credentialed with a Ph.D. and M.Ed, this does not minimize her very own credentials as having a Masters degree in social work and her licensure for management of interns. Furthermore, Ms. Kate maintains a specialty designation, of which her colleagues do not hold. Therefore, Ms. Kate has proven that her skills, responsibility and performance deserves a second review and equality in pay. Once the claim

The underlying issues in both cases are racial discrimination. For Cheryl Boulden in the affirmative action case the issue is being “an African American woman among the good ol’ boys in Indiana.” She was recruited because of race and her permanent handicap was seen as an asset for a diversity program lacking any. Yet these qualities made her a target of racism. Susan Finn’s ethnic discrimination presents a dilemma of how to deal with a contract physician’s abusive behavior “toward Hispanics and female staff as well as patients” (Reeves, 2006, p. 79). While the issues of racial and gender discrimination is not unusual, the failure of these agencies to address multiple complaints is.

I have been very fortunate to have Bryan Lispito and Angela Fattizzo work on behalf of my Family. The work Braden Lespisto has done was exemplary as was the results to the case. He and his Legal Assistant Angela Fattizzo never made me feel that I was just a regular client. All my questions were always answered if not immediately they were with in a timely fashion considering his scheduling. I was always met with respect and giving the opportunity to voice my opinions about what was occurring in the case. I was never given any false hopes but the straight truth. When new issues would arise concerning the case, I was always notified with an explanation and a remedy. I was not left with the illusion of not getting a resolution. I and my

In the nineteenth century, after the Civil War, congress passed the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments in hope of achieving equaling against the Jim Crow South. In Ortiz’s interview with Julia Taylor, one can see her experience as an African American child and as a teacher in the South. Although, racism and inequality still existed after the three amendments, through the interview, lives of African American were improve throughout the years.

Should the Death Penalty still be an option or only life in prison? This is the question at issue that the writer, Kyle Gibson(Heritage Foundation research fellow for the Center for Data Analysis), debates in the article, “ Death Penalty Repeal: It’s necessary to use Capital Punishment in a Free World”. On June 23, 2013 Gibson explains that Capital Punishment is a right and is important in society. He provides evidence on why Capital Punishment is important and how it is a free right of all citizens. His purpose is to show readers why the death penalty is important in order to convince readers to support and not oppose the death penalty.

-Working with Mary, I feel that one barrier that she is facing in regards to her expressing/accepting her sexual orientation and gender identity is fear of being rejected and shamed by her family. Evidence suggests that for LGBTQ young adults, a heightened level of

Capital punishment is a very divisive topic in the United States and also in our home state of West Virginia. This is a topic that sparks passion within people about the equality and effectiveness of the American Judicial system. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion about this topic but the throbbing question that lingers in the air is that is it morally right? Capital punishment also known as the death penalty is the brutal ordered execution of a prisoner as a punishment for a serious crime which might be murder or treason. The amounts of problems associated with capital punishment are massive, ranging from the innocent dying for a crime he/she never committed to racism, and the only way to resolve these problems is to eliminate

Since I was young, I have always had a busy schedule. With school and two sports, I rarely have quality time with my family. But all that changes when summer break rolls around, and my family goes on adventurous trips. On every single trip my family and I have had a great bonding experience and it gets better each year. Every summer has been exciting and has led me to travel to all 50 states. All of these experiences have helped me to appreciate and bond with my family.

Danville Airlines has created an ethical and legal dilemma by not being accurate, precise and clear on how they are doing medical testing, causing undue stress and potentially career-ending circumstances for David Reiger, one of their best pilots. What Danville did was illegal and unethical due to negligence. David Reiger has every right to sue them to continue flying, and the medical evidence suggests that the Huntington's disease gene can be dormant for decades before being active and changing a person's nervous system (Darden, 2004). The company has violated the 1974 Privacy Act, the Heath Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, and the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act. As is best practice with the nascent, emerging field of genetic testing, Danville did not warn Reiger of the testing taking place, did not get his permission, and didn't even have a process in place for dealing with pilots, whom the traveling public relies on for safe transport, when they are tested positive for these types of diseases (Murry, Wimbush, Dalton, 2001). Clearly Reiger would win any lawsuit, the collateral damage to Danville being the lack of oversight and gross negligence in managing health screening.
