Statutory interpretation is required where complication and ambiguity arises as to what the section actually provides and to whom is within the provisions. There are numerous occurrences where judges call for statues to be interpreted further in more depth; such as failure of legislation to cover a point, a broad term, drafting

Statutory purpose is a paramount tool in Breyer’s pragmatism. Indeed, it is one of the two tools (the second we will see later) that he has found to be “the most useful” (Yale 12) because it conduces one of pragmatism’s central values: sustaining the work of democracy. Ordinarily, the pragmatist turns to statutory purpose “when statutory language does not clearly answer the question of what the statute means or how it applies” (Breyer 85). However, the majority uses purpose in a slightly different way here. Rather than using it to modify its interpretation of the CSA, the majority uses statutory purpose to analogize it with the AAA: “Just as the [AAA] was designed ‘to control the volume

Rachel Botsman’s theory of collaborative consumption is made up of different systems that interact within the different social systems of social work individually and simultaneously. The idea of collaborative consumption is a way for individuals to swap, barter, rent, and purchase items from the convenience of their home or while on the go (2010). From a micro system, Botsman is referring to the individuals who are actively participating in collaborative consumption. By bringing individuals together on a micro level in order to share resources, Botsman’s theory demonstrates how people can work together. Whereas, from a mezzo system Botsman’s theory works to bring any small group together under some common ground. An example of a mezzo system

The ruling by the 11th U.S Circuit court of Appeals has had an adverse effect from a forensic standpoint. This ruling seems to have open the door for suspects that are involved in child pornography investigations. Any suspect that has such materials

By a 5-4 margin, the Court voted to overturn Miranda's conviction. Chief Justice Warren declared that the burden is upon the State to demonstrate that “procedural safeguards effective to secure the privilege against self-incrimination” are followed. The current practice of 'incommunicado' interrogation is that the individual may not be compelled to incriminate himself.

Federal agents who were acting under suspicion thought that Katz was aiding other gamblers information via phone. ?Katz was convicted under an eight-one count indictment for the illegal transmission of wagering information from Los Angeles to Boston and Miami? (Chicago Kent Law, 2015) and the court granted certiorari. Since they invaded his privacy by attaching devices outside the phone booth to listen in on his conversations to other people, Katz challenged his conviction saying that they could not use the recordings since they were retrieved without his consent and knowledge (Chicago Kent Law, 2015).

This distinction is noteworthy because this precedent targets specifics in the legislation itself, not whether congress had acted within the constitutional authority to enact the provisions. This creates a new standard that current legislative tests and regulations must be grounded in current conditions. This is a more stringent requirement that simply deciding if congress had acted rationally to enact legislation, this ruling allows for judicial review of specific provisions within

Clarence Earl Gideon was charged with a felonious crime of breaking and entering in the State of Florida. Upon his bench trial, Gideon requested a court appointed attorney. The bench trial judge denied Gideon’s request stating that under Florida’s law the provision of a court appointed attorney is limited to capital crime offenders. Gideon progressed to a jury trial and acted as his own counsel. He delivered his opening and closing arguments, as well as questioned witnesses. The jury found the defendant guilty and sentenced Gideon to five years in the state prison. While in state prison, Gideon filed a petition for habeas corpus contesting his guilty verdict. Gideon’s claim was based on the fact that the Court denied him his constitutional right to an attorney. The Florida State Supreme Court denied Gideon’s release. The United States Supreme Court was familiar with this issue because of a prior case, Betts v. Brady (1942), so The SCOTUS allowed a writ certiorari and Gideon’s case was reviewed again. The SCOTUS found that Gideon had been denied his constitutional right to a court appointed attorney and reserved his verdict.

Some historical, figures are remembered for their actions, for example Napoleon, while others are remembered for their for their intent for example Charles de Gaulle. Every historic figure remembers differently depending on what they did, however it does not matter if the person had a massive impact or if they only made a dent in the end they are all equal because they have accomplished or almost accomplished something that could not be forgotten. Amelia Simmons became an important historic figure, especially in culinary history, because she wrote American Cookery, the real reason behind her writing American Cookery and how American cookery was one of the first stepping stones for creating a diverse world.

Statutory interpretation is process of interpreting statutes by the judges. The definition of statutes have had very specific words but indeed the judges would still need the statutory interpretation to help them. The reason of this, even how, the words in the statutes are specific but sometimes the words contains ambiguity and vagueness in words. On top of that, each word could give us different meaning. For example, we can find in the Oxford Dictionary where a word would contain at least one meaning. Hence, without the statutory interpretation, a lot of judges would have trouble in deciding their judgments in deciding a case. This essay will analyse the four rules, intrinsic aids and extrinsic aids and presumptions in the interpretation
