Defending the Guilty
In 1840, Lord William Russell, an English nobleman was murdered. There was strong evidence that his butler, Courvoisier may have perpetrated the crime. Despite the strong circumstantial evidence, the butler maintained his innocence and was duly represented by his lawyer, Charles Phillips. During the court proceedings, Phillips vigorously defended his client as expected. At this point, Phillips would have already known the guilt of his client. In fact, it would be reasonable to believe that Courvoisier might have already admitted his guilt to his lawyer before the later accepted the case. During the course of ...

In A Civil Action, the small city of Woburn, Massachusetts is plagued by water contamination that leads to higher instances of leukemia in its children. When one child is diagnosed, the mother, Anne Anderson, investigates this correlation, eventually bringing in a lawyer to deal with the myriad companies who are allegedly responsible for these contaminants. Over the course of the case and the book, these high-powered companies attempt to crush this small, grassroots rebellion against their corporate might, but are thwarted by an increasingly dedicated lawyer and his convictions. In this paper, we will examine a number of subjects related to ...

A survey taken in Great Britain may lend credence to the charge that learning history at the movies is not “a good thing.” The 2011 poll revealed that 20 percent of those surveyed believe Sherlock Holmes was a historical figure, while a substantial percentage is convinced that Che Guevara, Florence Nightingale and Jesse James were fictional (Daily Mail, 2011). If it is true that the film and entertainment industry has become so powerful that it has a measurably misleading effect on historical knowledge, then learning history at the movies would, if anything, appear to be detrimental. Many filmmakers have skillfully blended art and ...

Law

A credit card agreement is a legal contract between a bank or financial institution that issues the credit card and the consumer who uses the credit card. On the one hand the banks want “freedom of contract,” while on the other hand the consumer wants transparency from the banks and the right to negotiate terms. (Talking, 2009, thecitizens.blogspot.gr) From the banks point of view consumers have the option to accept or to not accept the terms of the agreement. This is true because consumers can theoretically choose to never use credit cards. But from the consumers’ point of view there is ...

Punishment method that should be completely forgotten in new era is death penalty. We live in modern society where values such as tolerance and understanding are greatly appreciated.

I will try to explain my point of view in the further sections of this paper.
Execution is an aggressive act but it also leaves aggressive effects on members of the society. Supporting this way of punishment means that we embrace violence as a ...

Born on October 30, 1735 in Massachusetts which is currently referred to as Quincy, he was much engrossed in the ways of his father who had many impacts in his life. He ...

While the Civil War may have legally ended slavery, remnants of slavery and racial animosity continued to exist, and perhaps still do, in many parts of the country. Even after the passage of the Reconstruction Amendments, which attempted to empower newly freed African American slaves and give them equal rights of citizenship, states managed to find ways to disenfranchise blacks from exercising their newly acquired rights of citizenship. Racial prejudice was especially pervasive in the South. The era of Jim Crow laws, which controlled nearly every aspect of Southern public life, maintained strict separation of whites and blacks (Welke, ...

Q1.
- The book, King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild is indeed a great expose of the atrocities committed on the people of Africa's Congo under the greedy rule of King Leopold II of Belgium. Notably, there are quite a number of personalities who played a critical role in exposing Leopold’s Congo activities through various methods that in turn worked out well. The personalities included, among others: First and foremost, George Washington Williams way back in 1890. Being a black American missionary from the United States, he was astounded by the revelations he found out in the process. Noteworthy, the book ...

Introduction

Genericide can be defined as an historical process in which a trademark or brand name is transformed into a common verb through popular usage. This means people are using the trademark to even describe their goods and services. When this happens, trademark is no longer entitled to protection under trademark law because they describe a whole group of goods or services (Millstein 280). This paper will exclusively explore genericide. The paper will explain and discuss the legal concept of ‘genericide’ in its relation to trademark law. The study will use the example of Google (and the newly coined, popular verb ‘to Google’) ...

Facts: The cause of the conflict between the Occupy Oakland protesters and the police is due to police misconduct, the use of excessive force and concealment of name badges. This group of protesters has originated in Oakland California.

In twenty-first century America, the issue of immigration, particularly Mexican immigration (both “legal” and “illegal”) is ever-present in political, economic and social discourse. “The issue of immigration touches the Mexican-origin population more than any other ethnic group in the United States,” (Jiminez 2007, 599). With such attention focused on this particular ethnic group, it is interesting to consider the tribal, cultural, racial, ethnic, and national identity of this group. How do Mexican immigrants express their identity in the above-stated terms? What is the nature of Mexican immigrant communities? In what way are Mexican immigrants experiencing social exclusion both within ...
