The case that I researched involving the Uniform Commercial Code’s implied warranty of fitness for human consumption is the case of Tina Koperwas vs. Publix Supermarkets, Inc., and Doxsee Food Corporation. The facts of this case are Tina Koperwas, who purchased a can of Doxsee clam chowder at Publix store. When eating the chowder, she injured one of her molars when she bit down on a piece of clam shell. So Koperwas filed an action against Publix and Doxsee for breach of implied warranty of fitness for human consumption.…
In the court case The People of the State of Colorado v. Sandra L. Jacobson, Jacobson is convicted of homicide. The homicide resulted from her truck colliding with a taxi cab while she was driving under the influence. There were two passengers in the taxi at the time of the collision and both were killed. Jacobson appealed the court’s decision on the basis that the trial court did not allow her attorneys to gauge whether or not the jury had become biased due to mid-trial publicity that included inadmissible information. On the fourth day of the trial, the Court was made aware of the fact that a local television network would be covering the incident that led to this trial on its evening news program.…

I’ve had the opportunity of completing my clinical rotation at Baptist Hospital with the medical team in which I've observed the different participants in the collaborative team and the specific role each person played. The team consists of physicians, surgeons, social worker, ARNP, physical therapist, and occupational therapist. While observing the team, the best outcome for the patient's treatment and prognosis is focused on before being discharged. For example, if the patient does not have insurance coverage, community resources are addressed to assist and provide the patient with the proper care post discharge.

Martha Derthick’s Up In Smoke is a detailed look at federal regulation, legislation, and litigation through the lens of the tobacco industry. By providing a detailed chronology of tobacco regulation in the United States, Derthick is able to shed light on the centers of influence connected to the development of policy concerning nicotine and cigarettes.

In particular, the book focuses on the power struggle between non-elected officials and private interests groups in determining regulation. Because non-elected officials and interest groups have no formal legislative power, their attempts to influence policy and regulation is often referred to as “subgovernment.”…

Preview: Thanks to the modernization of electronic-cigarettes, the substitution of vaping versus traditional cigarettes has saved countless lives and is more accessible than ever. If the FDA is allowed to fully enforce their motives behind keeping vaping out and big tobacco in within the smoking industry. then healthier options will be minimized and nullified within the future. One possible reason the FDA wants complete control over the market is to ensure the US is still able to heavily reap from vape-related products, and it’s growing 10 billion-dollar industry, just as it does from the big tobacco industry. but this comes at the potential cost to the entire industry as a whole.…
