The Kericho Grocery: Bibery Case

Garcia and Licata took a number of old invoices and issued checks in the invoice amount, subsequently cashing the checks and splitting the amount between themselves. DeLoach soon after joined them and deposited a number of checks, issued by Licata, into various personal accounts throughout Miami. DeLoach used the funds from the fraudulent checks to write checks to Garcia and Licata (Barnett, 2007).

The Clerk was performing various administrative tasks instructed by the Magistrate. Prior to the Magistrates’ arrival, The Clerk ensured that the courtroom was in order. As we sat down in the public gallery, he approached and asked if we had visited for observational purposes. His role also included examining and assembling legal documents and materials that were required for the proceedings to take place. In addition, the clerk reviewed and identified documents from each party before handing them over to the Magistrate. He was assisting in the

Whenever I go to Stop & Shop, I tend to take interest in the thousands of products that surround me as I walk down an aisle. The wafting aroma of freshly baked pastries and the sight of cold soft drinks are just some of the things that trigger my appetite for food. Most often, I find myself buying more than what I originally planned on. That’s exactly what the layout of a supermarket tries to make consumers do. Marion Nestle argues in her article, “The Supermarket: Prime Real Estate”, how supermarkets employ clever tactics such as product layout in order to make consumers spend as much money as possible. She covers fundamental rules that stores employ in order to keep customers in aisles for the longest time, a series of cognitive studies that stores perform on customers, and examples of how supermarkets encourage customers to buy more product. Overall, Nestle’s insight into how supermarkets manipulate people into spending extra money has made me a more savvy consumer and I feel if more people were to read her article, then they can avoid some of the supermarket’s marketing tactics as well.

Advertisements are an extremely prominent part of American society. Very few places exist that an individual can go without being exposed to some form of ad. From product placement to billboards, advertisements exist in nearly every facet of life. Marion Nestle discusses what she considers to be one of the more heinous forms of advertisement in her essay, “The Supermarket: Prime Real Estate.” Nestle uses several persuasive techniques to convince her audience of the evils of supermarkets. Her use of emotionally charged phrases paired with her more logical assertions help to drive her point home while her clear bias and lack of supportive source detract from her overall argument

My externship at the AG Office exposed me to the interworking’s of a government agency. As an employee of the state every detail is particularly scrutinized and it is of the utmost importance that quality work be exhibited. At the AG Office I continued to impress my supervisors with my diligence, impressive legal research, writing skills, and through drafting legal memorandums and motions in limine. Moreover, I quickly adapted and learned about specific duties entailed upon me as a legal extern, and executed those duties, which included assisting attorneys with discovery proceedings, jury instructions, and any matters arising from preparation of jury trials.

This Story takes place in 1961, in a small New England town 's “A&P” grocery store. Sammy, the narrator, is introduced as a grocery checker and an observer of the store 's patrons. He finds himself fascinated by a particular group of girls. Just in from the beach and still in their bathing suits, they are a stark contrast, to the otherwise plain store interior. Though it takes place over the period of a few minutes, it represents a much larger process of maturation. From the time the girls enter the grocery store, to the moment they leave, you can see changes in Sammy. At first, he sees only the physicality of the girls: how they look and what they are wearing, seem to be his only observations. It fascinates Sammy because he has never seen any girls like that come into the store especially Queenie. As they go about their errands, Sammy observes the reactions, of the other customers, to this trio of young women. Sammy wants to get out and do what teenagers do while on summer break and not just work in their parents store. In “A&P”, the social class and society expectations come hand in hand depending on the symbols throughout the story, in fact it allows the readers to get a full understanding of what went on in Sammy 's “World”.

This shows she has knowledge of what is going on but it is not for me to implicate her. Even in the dealings showing that it is wrong here in our country it is ok there. She may have been bribed to do the dealings and it will be her that is held accountable for it. I do think though that having seen what I found I need to continue with pushing for a better resolution to help all parties involved in this. I do know that having someone lower on the totem pole will allow them to cover themselves if it is brought up in charges.

Under 18 U.S.C. § 666(a)(1)(b), a defendant is guilty of bribery if they accept something of value of $5000 or more from another person with the intent to be influenced in their actions as an agent of such government. But this circuit has yet to decide if specific quid-pro-quo intent is required for a conviction. In deciding whether this intent is an element of the crime, will the mere inference of agreement suffice or the more heightened standard of an express agreement?

What had happened in the "kids for cash" scandal was that Judge Mark Ciavarella and Judge Michael Conahan had received a finder fee from Robert Powell. It was seen as a bribe, however, because Ciavarella did not report it in his tax

To determine whether s 35P(1) or (2) of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979 (Cth) applies to your conduct, the information disclosed in your article ‘AFP Bribery Scandal’ must satisfy the criteria of these sections. It is likely that the article will constitute an ‘unauthorised disclosure of information’ and as such she will be prosecuted under s 35P(1) and (2) of the Act. To provide you with the most conclusive advice possible, it would still need to be determined if the Act provides any leniency for those who at the time of disclosure, did not realise the information related to an ‘ASIO employee or affiliate.’

This does not set a good example for the employees and can be harmful to the future of the company. Ensuring that bribery stops can solve many of the problems discussed above. Some feasible solutions are being recommended to help the company in both short term and long term. First of all, all employees including managers should be given training and education about bribery, corruption and what’s deemed illegal according to the law. Explicit measures should be suggested on how they can avoid supporting corruption and also where they can report to in case a situation where dishonesty is involved arises.

Besides the failure in satisfying customers, Levitt explains industries may fail because of better substitutes. In the article, Levitt mentions about the failure of dry cleaning, electronic utilities, and grocery stores. Those industries fail because other companies research and develop better substitutes. According to Levitt, substitutes for dry cleaning are synthetic fibers and chemical additives. Substitute for electric utilities is power cell, and substitute for grocery stores is supermarket (Levitt, 2004). The failure of the three industries isn’t the same as the failure in satisfying customers and may happen naturally. The products that those industries offer are good and are able to build up into industries. However, as time passes, new technologies are invented and eventually put those companies out of business. By describing two kinds of failure in many industries, Levitt doesn’t only provide more information but also prevent possible arguments from other people.

“The considerations of practicality and principle discussed … above appear to support the respondents ' case, namely that a bribe or secret commission accepted by an agent is held on trust for his principal. The position is perhaps rather less clear when one examines the decided cases … However, to put it at its lowest, the authorities do not preclude us adopting the respondents ' case in that they do not represent a clear and consistent line of authority to the contrary effect. Indeed, we consider that, taken as a whole, the authorities favour the respondents ' case.” (per Lord Neuberger in FHR European Ventures LLP and others v Cedar Capital Partners LLC [2014] UKSC 45 at [46].
