The purpose of a law school is to provide a specialized learning experience which trains individuals to be adaptable in a variety of situations.

  • Board Of Education V. Foster Case Study

    1133 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fraser (1986). During a student assembly, Senior, Matthew Fraser gave a campaign speech to elect his friend to student government. Fraser’s speech was rife with sexual innuendo. Consequently he was suspended and his name removed from the list of possible graduation speakers—he was second in his class at the time. In this case, the Court established that there is a monumental difference between the First Amendment protection of expression for “dealing with a major issue of public policy and the lewdness of Fraser’s speech” (“Key Supreme Court Cases,” 2015). Comparatively, Foster’s high school points out that there is a monumental difference between Foster’s desire to express his individuality and impress girls, and the school’s desire to regulate the serious public concern of gang activity within the school. Indeed, in the petitioner’s application of Tinkering and Chalifoux court cases, the defense notes, in both First Amendment cases the students were addressing a major public issue—political and religion statements. Foster’s message of individuality, however, decidedly lacked a message that would safeguard his First Amendment

  • Canada Premarital Sex Analysis

    299 Words  | 1 Pages

    Canada is witnessing a greater acceptance of premarital sex, that is the practice of sexual intercourse before marriage. This can be discussed in terms of the symbolic-interaction perspective such that, society is constantly constructing and re-constructing the gist of sex before marriage. For one, society’s historic double standard encourages men to have sex meanwhile women are expected to remain virgins until marriage. Although, the sexual revolution brought forward a more liberal attitude towards sex, which increased sexual activity overall and more in women than in men. In later years, the sexual counter-revolution then contrasted the sexual revolution by bringing back the idea of “sexual responsibility valued by earlier generations”. Whereas,

  • Mckinney V. University Of Guelph Summary

    1698 Words  | 4 Pages

    University of Guelph brought forth a number of legal questions and principles that needed to be addressed, the first of which being whether or not a university is considered a “government actor”. After a lengthy debate and the usage of the “effective control test”, The Supreme Court provided an answer to this question when they declared the institution of university as a non-government actor. This allowed the respondents (the four universities) to continue on with their policies of mandatory retirement at the age of sixty-five. The second major question posed in this case is whether or not an organization should have the right to violate sections of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms for the betterment of the organization, those who are employed by it, and those involved with it’s activities. This question was answered when The Supreme Court decided that a company may violate the rights of a person if the reason as to why is bona fide. In the case of Mckinney. v. University of Guelph, the reasons of conserving high academic standards and opening up tenure positions were accepted, and the violation was permitted. These two questions were imperative to the outcome of Mckinney. v. University of Guelph in a sense that the answers provided in the case helped to provide insight into how one's rights can be limited both within and beyond a government setting. This insight helped people understand why the appeal was denied in what seemed like a

    The Supreme Court requires that waiver in criminal proceedings be made voluntarily. The Fourth Amendment right against search and seizure may be waived voluntarily when there is a showing of consent. The Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination requires that waiver (in the context of confessions) must be made voluntarily. In Miranda v. Arizona, the Supreme Court made it clear that the voluntariness of the waiver of the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination was a fundamental concern central to the creation of Miranda Warnings. There, the Court was concerned about the coercive effect of interrogation and sought to protect individuals from the coercion by requiring the iteration of Miranda Warnings in order to establish

He went on to inform his court that sex and pain sometimes went together, which could be interpreted as dismissing the survivor’s experience (Hoper,
