A. Beyond the merits of the case, the chances of Edie in winning this case depend completely on the investigation of the behaviour of the defendant as the reasonable person in the similar conditions. This approach is regarded as the main pillar of the tort law that is used for the determination of the liability between the parties during legal proceedings. With that, it should be noted that there are several cases when the applicant faces difficulties in proving fault for slip and fail accidents. There are several conditions that should be met established and proved in order to ...

The term ‘actus reus’ refers to the physical component of the crime, while ‘mens rea’ addresses the mental aspect of the offence. Situations, when the alleged perpetrator has the actus reus, but lack mens rea can be different, and a solution depends on the constituent components of a particular crime. First of all, strict liability offences and a range of other offences that differ across statutes and common law under different jurisdictions do not require proving mens rea. Strict liability often refers to minor offences (e.g., selling alcohol to an under-aged individual), where it is hard to determine the ...

Quality Assessment

Scanning technology (3D laser scanner technique) measures the dimension of a precast concrete panel using extraction algorithms to measure boundary points with a compensation model to increase measurement accuracy (Kim et al., 2013). 3D laser scanning converts CAD models into BIM, which identifies scanned objects by ensuring precision for rebar mapping before actual drilling as well as rebar detailing for installing rebar cages (Hajian & Brandow, 2012). Before shipping precast concrete elements, dimensional quality assurance (DQA) is carried out to ensure that there are no dimensional defects using a scanner in an automated process that saves time and labor input ( ...

ABSTRACT

Cloud computing employs the use of parallel and highly computed processors to virtually and remotely deliver services. This is an important factor forenterprises whose processing resources are limited and who suffer limitations on the manpower and data storage. This notwithstanding, cloud computing faces a serious threat in the area of data security. This is because the attackers have become very opportunistic and look for any slight loophole that will enable them to bypass the server securities within the cloud computing environment. It is thus important to come up with a systematic approach that can help in identifying the vulnerabilities ...

Literature Review

Impact Mitigation

Intelligent locomotive bumper designs have been touted as possible life-savers for pedestrians. Paden, Kelly, Hines, Botham and Simms explored the feasibility of a life-saving locomotive bumper (103). There were several motivations behind their paper. Perhaps the most important one was the high number of pedestrians that were killed every year in train impacts. Between the years 2007 and 2012, about 10,950 non-suicide deaths were attributed to train impact on humans. Including suicide deaths on railroads, 28,800 pedestrians were killed during that 6-year period. Also, Paden et al., noted that passenger trains served densely populated areas ( ...

Introduction

For the last two decades the popularity of the international investment arbitration and legislation has been dramatically increased. The volume of cases considered by virtue of the interpretation of the provisions of the bilateral investment treaties signed between the parties of the commercial relations has been increased. In addition, this trend reflects the preference of the business units and states in signing agreements with the umbrella clauses due to their simplicity and efficiency in determination of the disputes between the parties. The availability of several mechanisms that can be used for the determination of the interests of the parties ...

[Class Title]

The Lawyer-Client Relationship The lawyer-client relationship should be based on trust and confidentiality. Under no circumstances should a client lie to his or her lawyer as well as under no circumstances should a lawyer incriminate his or her client for telling them the truth. A problem in trust and confidentiality will result to poor lawyer-client relationship, which could significantly impact the outcome of a case. Trust and confidentiality problems arise when the client withholds some information from his lawyer for fear that his lawyer will back out. There are clients, for instance, who are guilty of doing ...

A Chart that Illustrates the Criminal Justice System

Differences between the steps in the Juvenile and the Adult criminal justice systems There are differences that exist between the juvenile and the adult court systems in the US. One such difference touches on the topic of legal proceedings. In the adult criminal justice system, the reason for accusing an adult is on the grounds of a crime and in such a case, the proceedings are referred to as trials. The reason for charging a juvenile is on the grounds of the youth having indulged in a delinquent act and such a case; the proceedings are referred to as ...

3-nitrooxypropanol Report

Introduction Sheep, cattle, goats, and some wild animals such as antelopes and their families that are predominantly known as ruminants ferment plant material in their rumen. The result of this fermentation process is the formation of propionate, CO2, acetate, butyrate, and methane (Alexander et al., 2015). The carbon dioxide and methane formed escape from the bodies of these animals into the atmosphere.3-nitrooxypropanol is believed to inhibit methanogenesis in ruminant, an action that has various applications and benefits to the environment and animals. This report will consider the need for and application of the 3-nitrooxypropanol and how it would work ...

Paper Outline

Introduction Thesis Statement: The use of DNA in a criminal prosecution has helped advance justice for both victims and suspects by, among other things, eliminating the possibility of wrongful conviction due to inaccurate identification. This way, it has also tremendously helped the law enforcement agencies in the criminal justice system in fighting and solving crime through effective investigation of offenses. However, there are also legal -particularly human rights- and ethical challenges regarding DNA application in criminal prosecution (Naughton & Gabe 245).

Virgil perceives an entrance to the underworld as a cave by the shores of Italy consisting of a lake and wood close to the mouth, with a lake inside the cave (Torjussen 73). One can only get through by offering a golden tree branch to the Cocytus ferryman (Solmsen 13). According to the philosopher, there are different kinds of souls in the water that humbly requests assistance in their crossover to the boat. According to Virgil, the only access to the ship is by having the body buried with the alternative being swimming in the smelly waters (Bremmer 185). ...

Peers’ Comments

Comments from the group discussions had an impact on the development of the proposal. Kristin Ball Kristina Ball thought that the proposal was too broad and suggested scaling it down to a local renewable energy project within the locality since renewable energy on a wide scope such as a country is a huge undertaking. Also, she thought of addressing Shared Renewable in a ...

DNA tracing has been a helpful way of identifying an unknown person. As a matter of fact, this advantage is being used in forensic investigations which will completely recognize the identity of an individual when being logged in the database. However, this brings about risk in the privacy and confidentiality of an individual. Therefore, DNA database should not be used for commercial purposes. A DNA profile,which is stored in database, is not only used to identify a single individual, but it also allows to track close relatives using the information which can be located in a single DNA ...

Introduction

The issues of whether or not to treat juveniles or minors the same ways as adults when they commit a crime is a delicate one and has been debated for decades. Many authoritative figures believe they should be treated in a similar manner. However, there are many researchers that feel differently, believing that charging a child with what many consider an “adult crime” could affect the rest of their life and leave them with no hope of redemption. When making such a life-changing decision a judge or jury should already understand the social, biological, and psychological factors that differ ...

Introduction

People commit a variety of crimes on a daily basis. Some crimes are minor incidents that do not have an extensive consequence or sentence to uphold by the offender. There are crimes that are committed that are in a higher bracket and these crimes have a more serious sentence. People often commit a crime for a number of reasons. Some crimes committed were not even done by the person who was charged in the incident. There needs to be proof or evidence that can place the alleged criminal at the crime scene when it accrued. It is important that ...

The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA)—Title 9, US Code, Section 1-14—was first enacted on February 12, 1925. FAA underwent a few developments through the years.

Introduction – Background to the case

Negotiations are always a critical aspect related to the operations and management of an organization which is essentially of a non-profit character. Being the Chairperson of the Board at Midwestern Contemporary Art (MCA) it is important to have a balanced approach to the resolution of a conflict with the MCA and Peter and Catherine Smith. While it is indeed out of character to coerce the Smiths into payment of the pledge especially after being able to meet them and understanding their present predicament, it is also crucial to ensure that the best interests of the MCA are upheld especially ...

A. Describe the issue

A juvenile is a minor or an individual who has not attained eighteen years of age. Juvenile justice is an area of criminal law that deals with people who have not reached eighteen years ("Juvenile Justice"). In essence, the laws and jurisdiction apply to minors and are evidently different from those used on people above eighteen years. In the recent past, there have been passionate debates and claims about trials on minors especially those involved in serious crimes such as first-degree murder. Many youths are tried as adults yet in the eyes of the law they are ...

This paper answers two fundamental questions in two sections. They will cover aspects of the AAS course and provide an insight into relevant issues and matters relating to the Asian American community and history.

Question 1: Race, Racialization and the Law

Asian Americans were always viewed in the context of “Asian immigrants”. This is for several reasons. First of all, the history of the United States rising as a prosperous nation happened from the east coast. And for various reasons, the first colonies created in the 1600s were made up almost exclusively of migrants from the British Isles. However, as time went on, the colonies expanded ...

Circumstances, where confidentiality agreements are necessary

Nowadays, the intensity of competition among the producers of confectionary is crossing the boundaries of imagination. In order to stay competitive, the businesses have to reduce their overheads, while trying to maintain the appropriate quality standards of their products. These research and development activities require substantial funding, and, in order to safeguard their achievements from being imitated by the competitors, the ultimate contents of products are held in the strictest confidentiality (Hasnas, 2006). Food companies often offer lucrative settlements to those, who have been affected by their products (Maclntyre, 2008). Yet, the majority of such offers have a small, ...

Identify the three branches of Texas government and describe their functions.

Texas was admitted as the 28th State back on 29 December 1845. This was nine years after its secession from Mexico in 1836. The current constitution of Texas was adopted in the year 1876 (“Texas State Government at a Glance, n.d.”). As a result, the Texas’ government operates under its Constitution, which comprises a type of unitary democracy for its state government, one that uses the Dillon Rule in addition to governments both at the municipal and county levels (“Abbott, n.d.”). The Constitution of Texas divides the power of state movement into three specific departments namely the legislative, executive ...

Daytime TV reality shows have become an important part of our society’s entertainment, legal and education system. They give us an impression of how exactly the real courtroom would look like and what we should expect in case we get embroiled in similar law suits. While some of the TV court shows are not real and involve fictitious characters such as judges, litigants, and court clerks, most of them like The People’s Court and Judge Judy involve real characters. The People’s Court TV Show, for example, has real parties who have instituted a civil case in ...

Abstract

Puerto Rico is a small island that is part of an archipelago located somewhere out in the Caribbean Sea. It has an approximate population of about 3.5 million people and has a small area of about 9,104 square kilometers. The population is largely Hispanic where Spanish and English are the languages that have been set aside for official use. Fridolin (2000) says that the most ideal court system in terms of ideals would definitely be that of Switzerland as it is considered the most transparent court system in the world. It boasts of absence of external interference and ...

Abstract

The application of the rule of law as well as driving the use of the law towards the creation of a law abiding society is the limelight towards the creation of a society which does not condone crime and its sycophants. Enforcing law is one of the most effective mechanisms of controlling crime in any area. The use of the police as a law enforcement mechanism encourages peaceful coexistence within the society. The control of crime is usually a major step in discouraging crimes in communities. In the places where there are high cases of criminal cases reported, the ...

INTRODUCTION

The American criminal justice system is a very complex entity that most people hope to have little interaction with. Most people will tell you that it can also be incredibly confusing. People become most invested in court proceedings when they are high profile cases that garner a great deal of media attention; some that many are familiar with include Amy Fisher, Casey Anthony and, certainly, the O.J. Simpson trial. Another case that became the center of media attention is the trial of Jodi Arias. Jodi Arias is a 32-year-old woman who is currently serving a life sentence, without the ...

Introduction

Fair play in business practices is essential to the maintenance of a self-sustainable corporate environment. Precisely, all the parties involved in any business activity need to embrace ethical principles while following the legal provisions in any commercial venture. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that Kallestad breached the fundamental provisions of an implied warranty by selling substandard products to Peter and Tanya Rothing. According to Murthy and Blischke (2006), an implied warranty is a contract arising from the operation of the law guaranteeing that the goods to be sold are merchantable and are appropriate for ...

Introduction

Following the guidelines set by the patent laws, new claims must guarantee their originality and authenticity by presenting the claims to the board responsible for accepting new discoveries and patents (Quinn, 2014). It is important for the patents’ owners to undergo legal proceedings because other people might take the opportunity to steal the rights through the same proceedings. However, presenting patents are never easy, as there are several points to be considered for approval. In this case, the group recently discovered a compound which can be extracted from the species Fearus tortoisiae, which can only be found within the ...

Abstract

Intoxication is being in a state of alcoholic or narcotic intoxication. The government is increasingly sensitive to the cases of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, explaining that the drunk driver is endangering both for their life, health and property, and other road users. However, as practice shows, the number of the detained drunk drivers increases dramatically around the holidays. If the circumstances of the crime are clear, and in a short time collected all the necessary evidence, the Prosecutor may apply to the court to hear the case under expedited proceedings. Basically, criminal cases associated with DUI are dealt ...

Question 1

According to Tregeagle and Orr (2003), they argued that there are many Australian children that at one point or another, during their influential years, are not be cared for adequately. For many, this is a brief period that passes however for some; this maltreatment lasts beyond theirtender years and impacts their life. The abuse of children can be defined as any non-accidental behaviour by any adult in the child’s life that causes physical or psychological harm. The behaviour can be intentional, such as abuse, or unintentional, such as neglect (Bromfield, 2005; (Christoffel et al., 1992). It was meant ...

The paper will seek to account for the discretion given to Courts by dint of this Section in light of decided cases and commentary that has been made on the same by highly qualified ...

There are various differences between the examined countries in the area of the court system. The first most visible derives from the sole political system of the country and the division of power. The structural independence of courts and judiciary exists in both countries. The differences in the two countries court system can be found in the fact that the United States Supreme Court does and Iran’s Supreme Court does not “make” a law. Iran operates under the Code without an accepted principle of judicial review with the procedures set by the law. The Supreme Court decisions in ...

Introduction

The United States Constitution can be described as the highest law of the land. During court proceedings, the constitution is the supreme law that is applicable in determining the outcome of criminal litigation, but other laws arise from the Amendments to the Constitution. The United States Constitution often guides how the government should function, the jurisdiction of the presidency, American Congress, and the Supreme Court. It is, however, paramount to note that all American states have their own Constitutions that they enact and follow, but the federal constitution is considered the highest law that overrides other state laws in ...

Capital punishment or the death penalty is one of the most contentious types of punishments in the United States of America. It is the type of punishment that puts to death an individual who is found guilty of a crime as a result of a legal trial. The implementation of the death penalty dates back to the 1600s but has undergone many reforms thereafter. The discharge of the death penalty is very uncommon because it is usually applied for crimes of aggravated murder. Because the public views the death penalty as too harsh, immoral, and inhumane, it has been ...

Almost US, but still Latin America. This is the brief definition one can give to Puerto Rico. US is actively engaged in cooperation with the archipelago, but the chances that this area ever really become an integral part of the United States are still unclear. More so, it is a unique habitat with its own unique development system, including the judiciary. Puerto Rico is a dependent territory of the United States and has the status of "unincorporated organized territory”, which means that the area is under the control of the United States (and is not an integral part thereof), ...

Introduction

There are several sources of law available in the legal practice, while the role of the judicial precedents is the most important one in the common law systems as the United Kingdom.

Introduction

A crime is defined as an act or omission, which establishes an offence, and is punishable by law. Crimes are committed by both males and females in any society, and the United Kingdom is no exception to this rule. Naturally, the gender of a person often dictates the rate, type and the extent of crime committed. Although a committed crime has the same legal consequences, there exists some differences in terms of who commit them, the rate of their commission and the extent to which they are committed. The rate of crimes committed by males is more than that ...

Abstract

The discussion on the shift of power from the marketers and brands to the consumers can be proven with the varied usage dimensions of consumer power tools like ad-block apps. Particularly, this enables the consumers to remove the ads from their web pages. As such, the internet users enjoy fast online page loading and lower data costs. Many factors have contributed to increase use of ad-block apps. It is also clear that the availability of the ad-block apps on iPhones has led to wide use of blocker programs.

How RFID technology is developed, adopted, and implemented?

Development The development of RFID technologies has its origins in the 19th-century discoveries of electronic inductance and electromagnetism. Detection systems such as RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) were precursors to the RFID technology. The paper about the technology behind RFID was presented in 1948. Radio Frequency was used in the IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) systems deployed by the British in World War II. Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) to detect removal of articles without purchasing is in use since the 1960s. The UPC (Universal Product Code, which is a barcode) is the first passive auto-identification system. RFID is an ...

Before Rome became the glorious icon of power in the ancient European region, there was an ancient culture that ruled over them: this culture – has in modern times – been referred to as the Etruscan civilization. The Etruscan people ruled over much of what today is Italy. In fact, the most notable area named after the Etruscan people is known as Tuscany in Europe. So where did they originate from? Here’s the kicker though: nobody really knows where the Etruscan people originated from. Theories have been put forth by various scholars both ancient and contemporary, to trace the origin ...

This article asserts that some of the acts that the legislature defines as crimes are not actions that can cause much harm to the society and future generations, but there are acts that are defined as crimes that pose grave dangerous. Accordingly, the author notes that if one assumes that every person who commits a crime is a criminal then it is hard to find a person who is not a criminal in the United States. In this regard, the article presents two kinds of ‘ ...
