I belong to a company which happens to be a major player in the manufacturing and retail sector. The company has had a few ethical issues as pertains to the way it treats employees and how it disposes of waste. The labor force is underpaid and waste products are disposed of in water bodies posing an environmental threat. Considering the size and clout with governmental authorities it is unlike the company will face legal issues, but the corporate social responsibility department is virtually in the toilet which does not aid the public image. There are other examples of these issues in other companies as explained in the following text.

As I read through the responsibilities associated with the Assistant Director for Compliance Services - Financial Aid position, my belief that I would be well suited for this position grew. My belief is further strengthened by my proficiency in interpreting and applying legislation and my current responsibilities in monitoring compliance with Bylaw 15 bylaw. Although my experience has been at the NCAA Division II level, I believe that Bylaw 15 is one where the distinguishing differences in application between the Division I and II levels are not extreme.
There are many ideas about the correct basis for contractual obligation. They include promise, consideration, and cause. All jurisdictions follow at least one. In Thomas E. Davitt’s The Elements of Law, the author articulates a very credible argument for the basis for contractual obligation being one of those named above. Davitt simplifies the arguments for all of these and names one correct basis: the promise itself. Generally Thomas E. Davitt, S.J., The Elements of Law, 272 (1959). This paper will argue in favor of Davitt’s writings. The basis for contractual obligation is the promise itself. In order to effectively argue in favor of one basis over the possible others, it is necessary to discuss and rule out the others.
Chinese philosophies, like Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism, were brought in by the Chinese to help implement a strong and fair governing system in order to keep the citizens of China. They would use the different ideologies and find a similarity in all of them in order to keep together the empire. With Daoism, the government would put their trust in the people to self govern themselves and thought that political involvement and education were not needed. Confucianism would revolve around family values and order in the empire. Finally, Legalism would use fear to keep the people in check with harsh laws.
Although legal formalism is a critical component to the Australian legal system, judicial creativity is essential when the legislation fails to satisfy rule of law ideals. One key example of this is that although abortion is an offence under the Queensland Criminal Code, it was ruled this year by the Supreme Court that a 12 year old was able to proceed with terminating a pregnancy in a Queensland public hospital. This case’s outcome would be viewed as incorrect using reasoning from a strict legal formalism approach, however it is justified as it demonstrates judicial creativity can be employed when legal formality and procedural legality have not been met.
Conswella could not have said it any better! Those people who are arguing that the first amendment is not working anymore may be the same people who are taking advantage of this right. There will always be a gray area in law or even our rights due to our world constantly changing. However people need to understand that the,” gray area” is there for possible mistakes and or for the improvement of
Two potential lawsuits regarding the development of the infrastructure to the subdivision may be present. An infrastructure includes power, utility, cable, gas lines, and sewer pipes. The impending lawsuits imply the construction of the infrastructure will block access to a current utility easement therefore, denying the use of the easement by the city or the adjacent property owner.

The statement above said by Lord Bingham, from ‘The Rule of Law’ (2007) 66 (1) Cambridge Law Journal 67-85, p. 76. The statement references that the rule of law is not abided by if the state does not provide human protection. This statement can be looked upon, agreed and disagreed with after reviewing the two theories in the rule of law. This will be made possible, as I compare Joseph Raz’s formal theory and Lord Bingham’s Substantive Theory on the rule of law. But firstly, I will address what the Rule of Law is;
Our interactions within the law and society may be described as acts of legal consciousness. The term 'legal consciousness' is used to describe an understanding of the law, society, and ones place within. This awareness is informed by, and informs our societal interaction at both a group and individual level. It is my strong belief, that through critical reflection of our legal consciousness, we are empowered with the ability to influence and analyze the role of law and its effectiveness within society. Legal consciousness is both a form of scrutiny and a device of law. It is the basis for the formation of opinions on some of the more difficult ethical or moral questions posed, such as; abortion and euthanasia.

“The primary function of American criminal courts is to determine the legal guilt of the accused—that is, to determine if a person is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of committing a crime”, they essentially take over where police left off (Robinson, 2009). Though courts do much more than find people innocent or guilty, they also are “responsible for determining bail, conducting preliminary hearings (or grand juries), ruling on the admissibility of evidence, and determining the appropriate sentence when a finding of guilty has been reached” (Robinson, 2009). Though they perform many functions for the criminal justice system, there are many issues still facing the courts today. In this paper I will be identifying
There are various criticisms of legal formalism, most of these are expressed by scholars of critical legal studies and by legal realists.
