constructed (the pathologists’ statements). There is no doubt that not enough evidence was given to convict Clayton. Going back to my point, other cases appear to be handled very well. It seems that the quality of the Canadian Legal System varies on a court-to-court basis, and I believe that is something that should be fixed. Secondly, I don’t ever believe that spending as long a time in jail as Clayton did can be compensated with money. While he may have been paid a substantial amount of money,…

operates through a multilayered court system whereby courts of different levels exhibit distinct attributes. The Local and Supreme courts are at opposite ends of the hierarchy; therefore, they accordingly display various procedural disparities as well as behavioural differences of legal personnel.

How many courts did this case go through? State each court by full title and each court 's determination? This case went through three courts. It started in the civil court, and the jury was in favor of Hitesman. Then it went to the Appellate Division and the Supreme Court. The Appellate Division reversed the ruling and rejected the verdict. The Supreme Court additionally ruled the plaintiff failed to verify his CEPA claim (Hitesman…

2. I do think that Hannah Rosin is correct about the end of the dominance of men in hookup culture, pharmacy, the middle class, marriages, and in the classroom. However, many of these realms of the decline of men were not topics of this course. We did discuss gender and education, and I would argue that Rosin is right about the end of men in education, as women have surpassed men at almost all levels. The statistics are striking. Women earn almost 60% of all bachelors degrees, and masters…

Heffron is similar to our case, because both the regulation in Heffron and our ordinance place restrictions on where individuals are permitted to engage in solicitation. In determining the content neutrality of the regulation in Heffron, the court held that the restriction was content-neutral because it was not intended to silence one particular message and was not an attempt to regulate ideas because the regulation applied evenhandedly to all who wished to engage in solicitation, regardless of…
