In the United States, there are two legal systems, namely the civil and common law. Among the numerous states in the U.S, only forty-nine adhere to the common law’s doctrine rule. There is an exception in Louisiana since it incorporates both the civil and common law in its ruling. The common law is based on legislation established in the court instead of other statutes (Llewellyn, 2016). It is mainly developed by the judiciary arm of the government, which also interprets regulations. The court will apply the interpretation to comprehend the intended purpose of the lawmakers in enforcing the rule. The court uses its understanding of the law to assess given situations in their jurisdictions. The courts of appeals help to review applications concerning legal cases to determine if they should be reversed based on the lawmakers’ original intention. The ultimate decisions made by the supreme court of appeals are beneficial to the judicial. It is because it helps guide them in making future verdicts on the premise of how the law should be applied.

Please be sure to complete by 8/28

Length: 750 word minimum

Format: MLA (12 pt. times new Roman font, double spacing, 1 in. margins)

The goal of this project is to develop skills in generating ideas by reflecting on personal preferences and experiences and how they enhance your knowledge or interest in the future. You will need to assess your audience and follow conventions of narrative essays to complete this project successfully. You will also use the steps of the writing process to compose a successful draft. Purpose: The goal of this assignment is to show your audience how a real life event inspired your interest in a social issue. You will have to choose a social issue that is important to you (this can be as simple as hair care or as complex as a key political issue). The story should be used to show your audience why this social issue is important to you. Beyond telling a story, you are explaining why that story is important to your interest and understanding of your issue. Content: This genre requires details and information that will help your audience visualize the events you are recounting. You are telling a story about a single event that influenced your interest in the social issue you are discussing. You get to choose the issue and decide how to approach it. This is creative non-fiction and you must focus around an actual event, but this can be interspersed with details that have the essence of the event even if they are not completely accurate. For example, if you cannot recall a conversation verbatim, you can still use that conversation in text by telling your audience the essence of what was said, even if it is not the exact language used. The conversation and topic must be based on real events. The overall goal of this essay is to relate an event to your interest in your chosen social issue. Do not focus solely on the narrative aspects of your experience and fail to explain what it led to and what it taught you about your issue.

As the saying goes, “experience is the best teacher,” I learned the hard way the extent of the rot and injustice within the law enforcement sector. One night during my freshman year in college, a couple of friends and I decided to head out to a restaurant to celebrate my birthday. As we drove towards the restaurant, we suddenly heard sirens from a police officer’s car. The law requires that you are supposed to pull over as a driver once you hear a siren. As the driver, I pulled over and waited for the police officers to approach me. Once they came across, one of them asked for my driver’s license, before giving it to him, I enquired why we got pulled over. The officer stated that I made an aggressive lane change. We immediately refuted such a claim and even posited to the officer that we are aware of our rights, which the police officer is deliberately ignoring.

Anti-Discrimination Law and Laws Protecting Individuals With Addiction

/in /by

Question Description: Discussion 1: Anti-Discrimination Law and Laws Protecting Individuals With Addiction
There are very specific laws and advocacy efforts to protect individuals with addictions. Only in the past thirty years have people with addictions had legal protection from discrimination (Lawinfo, 2009). Anti-discrimination laws exist to provide people struggling with addiction the opportunity to receive treatment without suffering punitive actions. These include:

Affordable Care Act
American with Disabilitites Act
Children’s Health Act
Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act
Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act
Sober Truth on Preventing (STOP) Underage Drinking Act
Trial Law and Order Act (TLOA)
For this Discussion, research the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and one other act listed above in the Walden Library and reputable Internet sources. Consider how you might respond to the scenario provided utilizing the two acts.

Scenario
Imagine being at work, when suddenly, a colleague walks in visibly intoxicated. She is being loud, slurring her words, and bumping into people. Realizing that she is disturbing her co-workers, the intoxicated employee walks into the human resources department and tells them she is addicted to alcohol and needs treatment.

By Day 3
Post a brief description of the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and one other act you chose for this discussion as it relates to addictions. Explain how you might respond to the scenario provided utilizing the two acts. Identify the rights the employee has in this situation. Explain how the laws you discuss protect the employee who violated the company’s policy on drunkenness. Explain why such laws might be important.

Answer preview

In an organization where leaders are required to treat employees based on ethical and legal standards, my response to the scenario would be focusing on improving the individuals’ health. As emphasized by Robisonson (2014), providing the options for addiction treatment programs to enroll in would be necessary. While doing so, ensuring that the employee understands the treatment compensation provided under the MHPAEA Act would motivate the employee to take her treatment seriously. Considering that this act requires insurers to provide equal benefit packages just like those offered in the delivery of medical/surgery benefits, the taken measures would ensure that the employee gets a timely solution. Further, the ACA requires states to identify the public health services on SUD recovery health plans. The mandatory healthcare coverage that the ACA act ensures that even clients who cannot afford treatment are not left out. As much as there have been uncertainties regarding this act in Mississippi, due to incomprehensive coverage guidelines, the legal requirements on promoting health would influence the adoption of supportive medical care interventions.

Risk Assessment

/in /by

For this assignment, first formulate a sociological question related to (i) occupational socialization, (ii) occupational culture, or (iii) occupational inequality. It is advised that you formulate your question based on a specific occupational group. Ask yourself: ‘What occupational group do I wish to research and write about?’ For example, you could focus on migrant workers, computer programmers, police officers, bar tenders, hedge fund traders, or morticians. Second, after reviewing sociological studies on your selected occupational group, begin asking yourself questions about this group that relate to one of the following sociological topics: Socialization, culture or inequality. For example, you will want to ask: ‘What is the process by which individual workers learn their occupational roles and identities?’ Or, ‘what are the norms, values, attitudes, stories and rituals that integrate and regulate employees?’ Or, ‘what are the major forms inequality that stratify this workforce?’ Third, after gathering the information necessary to answer these questions, formulate a thesis — a statement that is put forward as an argument to be supported or proved — that provides a clear explanation to the specific research question you have developed. Lastly, in the body of your paper, provide sufficient evidence — in the form of collected research findings — to support your argument and defend your thesis.

Risk assessment is commonly used on the sexual offenders to identify the issues related to the offender’s behavior and the most probable solution to reduce the risk of the offender repeating the crime. This kind of assessment is important because it helps criminal justice agencies to reduce future crimes related to sexual violence. Moreover, risk assessment of offenders plays a role in the continuity of the Jimmy Ryce Act. The act specifies that sexual offenders are mentally abnormal and that they must be held involuntarily in a medical facility for treatment after their jail term is over. Therefore, risk assessment helps to identify those abnormalities and the most appropriate interventions.

Question 1 o Prompt: Discuss how some shrink-wrap agreements are enforceable, while certain terms may not be enforceable.

Discussion Question 2 o Prompt: Review the case of Pan Handle Realty, LLC v. Olins on pages 151-152. Answer the “For Critical Analysis—Legal Environment Consideration” question: How did the objective theory of contracts affect the results in this case?

o Requirements: 250 words minimum for each questions

Hello good to see you again. I think i have everything listed

Answer preview

The case of Pan Handle Realty, LLC v. Olins demonstrates just how delicate the contracting process is as numerous disputes may arise out of misunderstanding or the reluctance of a party to fulfill their end of the bargain (Pan Handle Realty, LLC v. Olins, 2013). The most demanding task that any court faces is determining the significance of actions taken by parties to the contract and whether there was a meeting of minds at any phase of the engagement. At this point, the objective theory of contracts comes into play as one of the tools that may be used to infer the existence of a contractual agreement. The objective theory of contracts is a legal principle adopted by American courts to determine a contract’s presence by assessing the legal significance of actions taken by the parties rather than trying to establish intention (Barnes, 2007). It examines whether a reasonable person would be entitled to perceive specific actions as establishing a contractual agreement between the parties involved.

Format your paper according to APA standards.

Answer preview

An effective correctional leader should have the ability to manage anger and to be patient to avoid getting out of control. A leader in a correctional facility should avoid reacting out of anger because it can lead to poor working relationships with other officers. Also, managing anger is important because the crimes committed by criminals are diverse, where some can make a leader dehumanize some inmates. Also, correctional facilities require leadership that can make inmates and staff members follow the set rules to the environment is safe for everyone, and such an order cannot be obtained through angry reactions. Being patient is a quality that helps leaders to be calm when dealing with inmates and staff, which promotes good relations (Klinoff, Van Hasselt, Black, Masias & Couwels 2018).

Federal minimum wage

/in /by

Attached are PDF documents you can utilize for this discussion. It is up to you.

An increase to the federal minimum wage is a widely debated topic and a prominent concern of employees. This issue must be addressed by policy makers and compensation professionals. After reading chapters one and two of the textbook, please answer the following question: Should the local, state, or federal government raise the minimum wage? Discuss the overall impact to employees, employers, society, and the ripple effect caused by this action. Support your argument by referencing a law that applies to minimum wage. Conduct research and provide evidence to support your statements.

Write a post of 2 paragraphs

Answer preview

However, the overall impact of increasing minimum wages can be detrimental to businesses, workers, and society. It results in increased prices for items, which raises the cost of living for people in the community. Employers are forced to increase the prices of goods and services to support the rise in labour costs. The ripple effect of an increased minimum wage is that it affects workers who earn near that threshold. The impact occurs when those who are earning slightly above the minimum pay experience a raised salary. Therefore, this implies that many employees will encounter the ripple effect of higher minimum wages. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was created by Congress to allow low-income households to receive a much-needed boost to their earnings (Brown and Hamermesh, 2019). It will help improve their livelihood because a substantial number of individuals belong to this group. Therefore, policymakers should consider the increasing minimum wage magnitude since it allows low wage workers to lead an economically secure life.

The Value of Fair Treatment in the Workplace

/in /by

You have been hired as a management consultant by a large company to examine the company’s business decisions regarding employee protections. The applicable laws are federal anti-discrimination laws, federal health and safety laws, and employer firing practices related to the employment-at-will (EAW) doctrine.

In response to the three questions below, write a 4–6 page paper in which you do the following:

  1. Analyze, identify, and explain recent legislation, within the last 10 years, that helps to protect employees from discrimination in the workplace. Provide at least two federal legislative protections. Provide some insight when the federal legislation conflicts with the state.
  2. Explain the EAW doctrine and all exceptions to the doctrine. Look at the scenarios below and determine whether the decision to fire the employee is a smart one. Identify why or why not, and determine all the possible exceptions per the EAW doctrine that are, might be, or could be applicable if the employee sues for wrongful termination.
    • Brenda, a manager, started a blog on the company website for employee grievances. She noticed that a worker was protesting that no Asian American employees had gotten a raise in two years at the company. The worker also criticized how much the CEO made and how the CEO was “out of touch.” Brenda reprimanded the worker. The next day, the worker talked to fellow co-workers about forming a union. Brenda subsequently fired the worker.
    • Jason, a department supervisor, requests approval to fire his secretary, Alice. Alice, a devout Christian, has been putting Right-to-Life flyers in the employee breakroom. Alice is also taking time out to pray each day during the busiest time of the morning.
    • Brian, the head of the accounting department, refused to sign Lori’s leave request for jury duty. Lori is a tax attorney in his department. Brian wants to fire Lori for being absent without permission during their busiest time—tax season.
    • Peter has worked for the company for one year. He has a rare form of liver disease and works with chemicals that make his condition worse. Peter does not want to stop working, but his boss is not happy with his performance and wants to let him go.
  3. Determine the federal law regarding undocumented workers and whether they are eligible for state workers’ compensation in the United States. Advocate for or against this practice and substantiate your response with research to support your position.

Finally, the Equal Pay Act of 2003 came into effect to protect women from exploitation by receiving lesser salaries than their male counterparts. The Act states that if people were performing equal work, then they should receive equal compensation for their input. Although there have been challenges in defining ‘equal work,’ the legislation has gone a long way in promoting equity in the workplace. In 2019, this law was amended to restrict employers from asking employees for their salary histories. The first case was in Illinois, where the law was enacted that same year. By asking for salary histories, employers used this information to pay employees from the same job group unequal salaries. However, the predicament was addressed in the amendment, which protects employees who had previous low-paying jobs from exploitation by employers who could pay them better wages.

Interviewee: In their research, Labonte (2020) notes that Expansionary policy boosts a country’s economy by increasing the money supply, while the contractionary policy slows down economic growth by reducing the money supply. Currently, the United States economy is under the expansionary policy. It is because the government has placed more liquidity in the economy to protect the economy from collapsing due to the COVID-19 recession.

Interviewer: At the beginning of this session, I encouraged those in the food and beverage industry to be attentive. What do you think is the potential impact of expansionary policy in this industry in two years to come?

Here it is a concern of determining if the offeror or the bidder is found to be non-responsible. In other words, the purchasing officer must be satisfied that the bidder is responsible before they award a contract.  Here the requirement for bidder responsibility if mandatory for the offeror but would be optional for the purchasing officer. Also, the stated procedural irregularities stated by BC& L lack an administrative foundation since the petitioners were not entitled to a hearing. Indeed, the petitioner fails to prove definite property or liberty interests to prevail on the need for a due process in the district court’s prior decisions.
