One of the fundamental methods of determining liability in Tort Law is the “but-for” test. According to the test, liability is analyzed by asking the question: but-for the defendant’s negligence, would the plaintiff have been injured or harmed? If the answer is no, then the defendant, and only the defendant, is liable for the plaintiff’s harm. While the “but-for” is a Tort Law fundamental, it sometimes proves inadequate in determining a defendant’s liability. Consequently, Tort Law has developed other means of determining the cause of a plaintiff’s injury in fact. One of the alternatives to ...

Williams v Pennsylvania (2016) was brought to the Supreme Court by Williams who was found guilty of murder back in 1984 and sentenced to death because he claimed that the prosecution not only utilized false testimony but withheld evidence that could have led to his exoneration (Supreme Court, 2016). I found this particular case interesting due to its conclusion where the petitioner was ultimately denied his appeal even after his allegations were proven by the PCRA (Supreme Court, 2016) which just goes to show how even if the filer was in the right, the law still refused to rescue ...

The Brady campaign to prevent gun violence uses gun crime statistics to try to show the high rate of crime because of high gun possession. Predictably, this organization will use gun crime statistics to show the dangers of having many guns and the need to control gun ownership.

Clearly, statistics should prove one side of the argument wrong because the numbers are the same. However, each side tries to use the statistics that ...

In his essay entitled “The Decay of Laying”, author Oscar Wilde wrote that “life imitates art far more than art imitates life” (Wilde, 1891). One of the biggest questions that Wilde’s quote created was whether he was right, and life truly does imitate art. Regardless of whether he is accurate or not, art, including television, is often studied to provide understanding of how life was perceived at the point in time when the art was produced. This essay will analyze five episodes of a family situational comedy (sitcom) from the 1950s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s to provide ...
