Marijuana users consume it in diverse forms depending on the strength of the product they are using and the effect they want to create. For instance, the most common way of using Marijuana is to smoke it like a cigarette. Some use Marijuana alone, while others combine it with other more powerful drugs to achieve a stronger sensation. Marijuana can also be introduced into food or drinks for the users who do not wish to consume it. This approach has been trendy among the youth and led to the increased popularity of marijuana-laced edibles like cookies and brownies and drinks like tea and even juice. Users who do not wish to inhale the smoke often opt for vaporizers to extract liquid Marijuana. However, vaporization increases the number of synthetic cannabinoids to which users are exposed and may lead to dangerous consequences for new users.

In the presented case, the management of Clayton County terminated Bostock’s employment as a child welfare services coordinator because of his sexual orientation. Clayton County criticized his involvement with a gay recreational softball league group and his sexual orientation. Upon the termination of employment, Bostock filed a case at the lower court. According to Bostock v. Clayton County (2020), the lower court dismissed the case based on a previous ruling by the Eleventh Circuit, citing that Title VII did not protect employees from employment discrimination due to their sexual orientation. In a petition filed with the Supreme Court, this became a landmark case, considering that the judge ruled discrimination of employees because of their sexual orientation contravenes Title VII.

Being an intern made me get a chance to listen to many cases, which gave me an eye-opener on how to apply my law studies in practice. One of the rulings that happened concerning child custody made me understand that the child’s interests are best attended to when custody decisions are made in the child’s country of usual residence.  According to the Supreme Court (Estin et al.,  2020), a child’s customary residence depends on the case circumstances and does not depend on the parents’ agreement on where the child will be raised. For example, suppose the parents had agreed the child will be raise by grandparents in another country. In that case, the court might differ depending on the convenience of the grandparents, security or background, and the wellbeing of the child.

In the original edition of the NIPP published in 2006, NIPP reflects the progression from principles. It is simplified and tailored to existing risks, policies, and competitive conditions. It provides the basis for an interconnected and collaborative strategy to achieve the national vision in which vital physical and virtual resources are safe and robust, reduced vulnerabilities, minimized effects, detected and disrupted threats, and accelerated response and recovery (Bondarenko et al., 2021). It describes how public authorities work together to handle risks. The Nation’s welfare depends upon the establishment of a robust, vital infrastructure.

Employment Law and the Hiring Process

/in , /by

After briefing the management team on employment law from the Management Team Briefing on Employment Laws assignment, it is time to apply the knowledge to internal processes. There are many fundamental legal concerns surrounding recruiting and the overall hiring processes within organizations. A current review of the company’s HR policies and procedures centered on employment law reveals some possible opportunities to improve the overall recruitment and hiring process. Specific opportunities exist in background checks, employment tests, and hiring and promotions. If not properly administered, these areas may cause employment law issues within the company.

Instructions

Write a 6–8 page paper in which you:

  1. Briefly explain your overall understanding of conducting employee background checks. Why are they done? Why are they important? Be clear with your discussion.
  2. Identify and discuss at least two types of background checks you believe most organizations conduct and explain how you will ensure the types you select are properly administered in the company.
  3. List and describe at least five employee drug-testing procedures you would implement to comply with state drug-testing laws. How would you ensure adherence to the procedures?
  4. Briefly discuss your understanding of bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ), affirmative action preferences, and promotions. Then, identify at least three actions you would take to avoid employment law issues with these topics. Be specific.

Requirements: 6-8 page

Answer preview

For instance, if an employer employs an individual without performing a background check, the employee in question could have a criminal background where they were involved in theft or assault and battery. The employee could also have been fired from their previous job due to issues such as fighting in the workplace or stealing from clients. This could put both the employer and the workforce in general in potential harm’s way. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to carry out a thorough employee background check since they are put in place to flush out any undesirable characters in the workplace.

The Organization’s Reputation

The reputation of any organization is always just a bad decision away from being tarnished. The organization has a professional responsibility to safeguard its name from being essentially taken through the mad. During employee background checks, the employer compares what the potential employer presents in their curriculum vitae to what they find once they complete the background check.

Answer preview
New York City Police Department is one of the law enforcement agencies in the country that used robo dogs in their policing. However, due to the extensive backlash such a decision had from the city’s residents, NYPD was forced to put a lid on the project (Bushwick, 2021). For some, the expensive nature of such technology does not make robo dogs a feasible tool for use by law enforcement agencies. Besides this, there are those who feel that using robo dogs is symbolic of how overtly aggressive law enforcement officers are when dealing with individuals from poor and minority communities, a situation that leads to numerous violations of their Constitutional rights. Another argument made against robo dogs revolves around the timing of their introduction (Bushwick, 2021). America is going through a challenging period, characterized by increased public scrutiny on policing practices, especially the militarization of law enforcement. As such, introducing robo dogs further militarizes policing,

Employee terminations

/in /by

Overview

To be wrongfully terminated is to be fired for an illegal reason, which may involve violation of federal antidiscrimination laws or breach of contract. The legal standards governing termination differ substantially depending on whether private-sector and nonunion employees or public-sector and unionized employees are being considered. As the company HR leader, you are accountable to the organization to ensure that all employee terminations are initiated and completed while maintaining strict adherence to current employment laws and EEOC guidelines.

Instructions

Write a 5–6 page paper in which you:

  1. Address your understanding of the term constructive discharge—what is it? Then, identify factors courts might focus on to determine if constructive discharge exists. How might the organization avoid claims of constructive discharge? Hint: Read Constructive Dismissal and Wrongful Termination.
  2. Discuss the differences between pure employment at will and employment at will with exceptions. Do you believe employment at will is fair? If not, what is an alternative?
  3. Briefly describe what the Montana Wrongful Discharge from Employment Act (WDEA) is. What do you see as benefits of this act to employees? Employers?
  4. Identify and discuss a minimum of three actions organizations may want to consider as they seek to handle employee terminations legally.

Answer preview

The Montana Wrongful Discharge from Employment Act (WDEA) was enacted in 1987 by the state of Montana to effect some changes in the employment-at-will rule. Among all the states in the U.S., the statutory modification on the employment-at-will rule has been effected by Montana. The act serves to uphold the employment-at-will rule while at the same time introducing some modifications on the legal grounds for claims on wrongful termination. The act provides that termination can only be wrongful under the following situations. Firstly, a termination is wrongful under the act if an employee is dismissed for refusing to breach public policy or reports instances of public policy violation. Secondly, discharge can be considered wrongful when an employer overturns any form of a written agreement on the policy (Hijal-Moghrabi et al., 2017). Lastly, a wrongful discharge results when an employee who has completed their probationary period is terminated without proper cause.

Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:

  • Should mandatory sentencing options exist for most crimes, or should judges be allowed to use their discretion? Why? Explain. In discussing your position, please make sure to discuss the impact on the victims, on the defendant, and on society.
  • APA 7 citing and references.

Requirements: 400 – 600 words

Answer preview

They can reduce crimes in society as criminals will be aware of the time they can spend in prison in specific actions. When someone is aware of the number of years they can spend in prison, they will be scared to commit crimes, reducing criminal cases in society. It reduces the chances of judges being corrupt as no matter how financially stable the criminal’s background is, he will end up serving a sentence. Mandatory sentencing is designed to maximize the safety of society. For example, those who practice crimes are removed from the community not to cause any more harm.

Case Study

Ahmad and his friend, A.G. Pennypacker, have come up with a great idea: they have
developed a fluor elastomer liner (a rubber lining) for oil tankers. With this
innovation, they believe they can eliminate most oil spills that result from tanker
accidents. The liner is highly resistant to fluctuations in temperature as well as
physical punctures.
Ahmad wants to set up a company, but is unsure of his options and has come to you
for advice for the type of business entity formation he should select. He has the
following concerns:
1. He does not want his other business concerns being held liable should there be
a lawsuit arising from use/sale of this product.
2. He wants an entity form that will minimize his tax liability.
Based on the entity forms detailed in Chapter 35, select one you feel satisfies his
concerns. Make sure to explain why it is the best for Ahmad and Pennypacker.

Answer preview
LLCs are generally perceived as a hybrid form of a business entity. This is because they combine the attributes of a corporation and a partnership (Mancuso, 2021). Specifically, an LLC combines the federal tax classification generally associated with a partnership and the liability shield associated with corporations. In the United States, LLCs are regulated by the rules established by individual states where the LLC was incorporated, irrespective of where the entity undertakes its businesses (Mancuso, 2021). This is an added advantage for Ahmad and A.G. Pennypacker, considering the elastomer liner they invented will be used and sold in different parts of the world. The best state to set up an LLC in the United States should be Wyoming due to its tax-friendly nature. In addition, should Ahmad and A.G. Pennypacker decide to incorporate their LLC in Wyoming, its formation and operations will be regulated by the Chapter 29 – Wyoming Limited Liability Company Act. Limited liability companies have a couple of attributes that set them apart from other business entities.

Answer preview

Universal defamation laws will provide legal protection even to social media providers whose reputation is destroyed on the internet. With the current defamation laws, different standards are employed when dealing with private individuals, public figures, or even public officials (Nieto, 2020). As a result, this poses challenges to the social media providers in identifying their position, whether they qualify to be a private or a public figure, when presenting cases where their reputation has been attacked. Thus, having a standard way of proving that a particular case is defamatory regardless of their position in society will eradicate this challenge.
