Despite the efforts of lawyers and judges to eliminate racial discrimination in the courts, does racial bias play a part in today’s jury selection? Positive steps have been taken in past court cases to ensure fair and unbiased juries. Unfortunately, a popular strategy among lawyers is to incorporate racial bias without directing attention to their actions. They are taught to look for the unseen and to notice the unnoticed. The Supreme Court in its precedent setting decision on the case of Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 (1986), is the first step to limiting racial discrimination in the court room. The process of selecting jurors begins with prospective jurors being brought into the courtroom, then

To summarize the case of Kim v. Son, Jinsoo Kim invested in two of Stephen Son’s corporations, which eventually failed, and Kim lost his money.

As it turned out, when Son sobered up he refused to keep his promise to pay Kim, so Kim filed a lawsuit based on this bloody contract. The judge declared the contract void due to lack of consideration (Beatty, Samuelson, Bredeson, 2013).
When a person is charged with a crime the type of defense that they choose could ultimately determine their fate. There are many different types of defenses that exist in our criminal justice system. In this paper I will be taking a brief look at two different cases that have implored two different types of criminal defenses. I will look at the nature and types of defenses used in the cases and what evidence was used to demonstrate defense. I will describe how justification and excuse played a role in the cases and I will also be describing the outcome of each case.
One of the other questions I didn't pick a right answer on this test is #24. I believed the answer to be A, but the answer is actually B. The reason why I know B is actually the correct answer is because the author highlights the emotional tolls of exile and problems faced by exiles.

Ordinarily, we felt so angry and humiliated that our first instinct was to start a revolt to extrude them. Unfortunately, the plan didn’t progress as expected; their weapons included more advanced technology and their horses were too fast for our wooden bow and arrows.

Children in modern day spend their time playing video games, while in ancient times children spent their days fighting as warriors. This may sound like an anti-video game ad, but it is not, these two things are actually very similar. The Mongol Empire is a lot more alike to the hit video game Super Mario Bros that is played today than it may seem. Both the Mongols and the Mario Bros conquered many different cities, or levels. Each of these empires used some form of cross cultural diffusion to spread ideas. However, for the Mongols death was a reality, while The Bros could regenerate themselves however many times they pleased, and never fully die.

1.) Currently Teletech Corporation uses 9.30% as their hurdle rate and satisfied with the intellectual relevance of a hurdle rate as an expression of the opportunity cost of money by the managers. As a result the firm’s share prices are inactive. Their price-to-earnings ratio is also below investor’s expectation in comparison to the company’s risk.
