On June 9, 2014, the US Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in Executive Benefits Insurance Agency v. Arkison (Executive Benefits)1 that resolved a fundamental bankruptcy procedural issue that had arisen in the wake of Stern v. Marshall (Stern).2 In Stern, the debtor filed in the bankruptcy court a common-law counterclaim for tortious interference against a creditor of the estate that was independent in nature from the claim asserted by the creditor in his proof of claim against the estate. The counterclaim constituted a core proceeding under the pertinent Judicial Code statutory provision, which also authorized the bankruptcy courts to adjudicate such a core proceeding to a final judgment. In Stern, the Supreme Court ultimately held that Congress had violated Article III of the Constitution by vesting the power to adjudicate the tortious interference counterclaim in a bankruptcy court. Subsequent courts, including several federal appellate courts, have held that fraudulent transfer ...

The Kansas Constitution protects a womans right to an abortion, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday.. The landmark ruling now stands as the law of the land in Kansas with no path for an appeal. Because it turns on the states Constitution, abortion would remain legal in Kansas even if the Roe v. Wade case that established a national right to abortion is ever reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court.. The decision turbocharged efforts among conservative legislators to ask voters to add an abortion ban to the Kansas Constitution. Lawmakers return to the capital, Topeka, next week.. The decision, in which one of the seven justices dissented, cites in its first sentence the first section of the Kansas Constitutions Bill of Rights: All men are possessed of equal and inalienable natural rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.. The decision continues: We are now asked: Is this declaration of rights more than an idealized aspiration? And, if so, do the substantive rights ...

Howard High School, in Wilmington, Delaware, is one of the schools directly associated with the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education that found racial segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional. Howard High School was first mentioned in Belton v. Gebhart, one of the five separate cases that the U.S. Supreme Court placed under the aegis of Brown so that the whole question would not smack of being purely a Southern one. In Belton, parents of black students living in Claymont, Delaware, sued to enroll their children in the local all-white high school. Prior to Brown, black students were bused to Howard High School, which was nine miles away in an undesirable part of Wilmington. The Delaware court concluded that the mental health problems created by racial segregation contributed to a lack of educational progress, and furthermore that under the separate but equal doctrine the plaintiffs have a right to send their children to the white schools. ...

The Supreme Court is expected to reach a decision by the end of June, 2014 on the cases brought forth by Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties, two for profit corporations challenging the ACAs contraceptive coverage requirement. The plaintiffs contend that the requirement that they include coverage for certain contraceptive services (emergency contraceptive pills and intrauterine devices) in the insurance plans substantially burdens both the corporations and the owners religious rights. During the arguments, several of the justices discussed the extent to which the corporations did or not did not have a choice in offering coverage to their workers. In this brief, we explore some of the factors influencing coverage decisions and possible consequences for women and employers given possible Supreme Court decision options: either upholding the contraceptive coverage requirement, or in favor of Hobby Lobby.

The district court did not violate any rules and complied with due process requirements when it terminated Mothers parental rights without her presence and ability to assist in her defense. Mother had been arrested before the hearing and declared incompetent in her criminal proceedings. A guardian ad litem was appointed, however, and the district court continued the trial in the parental rights case numerous times due to Mothers inability to regain competence. The Supreme Court affirmed the district courts decision, holding that the district court (1) properly proceeded with the parental rights despite despite Mothers incompetence to stand trial in her criminal case; and (2) had personal jurisdiction over Mother despite allegations of insufficient service because Mother waived the issue.

CHICAGO -- The Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance will appeal a district court decision that could cost as much as $50 million in retroactive state income tax refunds to federal government pensioners, a state official said yesterday.. Earlier this month, Linn County District Court Judge Lynne Brady ordered the revenue department to refund state income tax payments made by Arlo Hagge, a retired federal employee in Cedar Rapids. The decision covered payments made by Mr. Hagge from 1985 to 1989.. Judge Brady favored Mr. Hagges legal action, seen as a test for all federal pensioners in Iowa, reasoning that a 1989 Supreme Court ruling on a similar matter should be viewed retroactively.. Larry Cook, manager of taxpayer services for the state revenue department, said the petition of appeal will be filed with the state Supreme Court in August.. If the district court decision is upheld, Mr. Cook said, it could open the door to potential refunds to all federal employees in Iowa at a potential cost of ...

Shortly after the September 24th Supreme Court ruling, health authorities began writing a working draft of proposed regulations for the Southern Nevada Health District. A copy of the draft rules obtained by the Business Press calls for penalties as severe as health permit revocation for taverns that fail to enforce the smoking ban. Other proposed rules include a requirement for a proprietor of any indoor place of employment, where smoking is prohibited, to request that those lighting up there stop smoking immediately ...

In 2012, Connecticut repealed the death penalty for all but the 11 people who were on death row at the time the law was passed. Thursday, the states Supreme Court ruled the part of the repeal that allowed for those prisoners to be executed is unconstitutional, and all will have their sentences converted to life in prison without the possibility of release. But the the decision also opens the door lawmakers to roll back the repeal. Melinda Tuhus has more.. Download Audio. Connecticut had already repealed the death penalty, but grandfathered in those people already on death row. Thursdays ruling holds that the Connecticut Constitutions prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment forbids the state from executing any prisoners at all..

A decision by a federal appeals court this week could have a dramatic impact on the marketing of prescription drugs in America, potentially affecting patient care and everything from TV advertising to future government prosecutions which, in the past, had yielded billions of dollars in settlements, doctors and attorneys said Tuesday. This risks taking us back to an era when people could promote snake oil without restrictions - a situation I would hate to see, said Richard Deyo, MD, a professor of family medicine at Oregon Health and Science University. Citizens United Redux However, others say the ruling by a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Manhattan is a victory for free speech, one that could become the drug industry equivalent of Citizens United, the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision that gave corporations and unions the right to spend unlimited sums on political ads.

Earlier this year, it was reported in the 2016 Minerals Yearbook that asbestos consumption in the United States has nearly doubled in the last year; from 343 tons in 2015, to 704 tons in 2016. Naturally this report caused concern, especially among anti-asbestos advocates who had seen a steady decline of asbestos imports to the United States since the late 1980s/early 1990 when asbestos regulations began to take place.. Since 2002, it has been illegal to mine asbestos in the United States. This has caused the chlor-alkali industry - the only industry to use asbestos in the United States - to rely solely on imports for the business to thrive. Most of the United States asbestos imports come from Brazil and Russia, but a landmark Supreme Court decision in Brazil late last month will heavily impact the future of asbestos imports in the U.S.. In a 7 to 2 vote, Brazil, one of the worlds largest suppliers of chrysotile asbestos, banned the use, production, and distribution of asbestos. With Brazil not ...

Under Federal, State, and local law, there is general protection for handicapped employees. While these laws generally do not address AIDS specifically, a U.S. Supreme Court decision recently held that a communicable disease may be considered a handicap within the meaning of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. Thus, employers must be cognizant of their potential liability in cases involving employees or applicants with AIDS. In addition, a number of common law claims may be available to AIDS-infected individuals if adverse employment action is taken against them. These may include cases based on wrongful discharge when an employee is discharged for reasons contrary to a public interest. Additional claims could arise with respect to an employees right to privacy and defamation of character. Other statutes with implications for employees with AIDS include provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, forbidding the termination of an employee in order to deprive him or her of medical ...

By Peter Galuszka. Forty two years ago, a feminist group titled the Boston Womens Health Book Collective got together to start researching their own books about female health since they distrusted what they considered the male-dominated medical establishment.. A substantial part of their research had to deal with birth control since the pill had been out for several years although the Roe vs. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision, allowing limited abortion, was still three years away. Their book Our Bodies, Ourselves became a best-seller.. Flash forward 42 years to Virginia. The General Assembly is embroiled in a fiasco over conservative attempts to force-introduce state power into the sexual lives of women through laws that would force women exercising their legal right to an abortion to have ultrasound exams in their first trimester of pregnancy to somehow shame them into not going through with the procedure. Another would declare personhood as being that point when an egg is fertilizer and ...

IBM has one of the largest workforces in the world, and employees at Big Blue are referred to as IBMers. The company was among the first corporations to provide group life insurance (1934), survivor benefits (1935), training for women (1935), paid vacations (1937), and training for disabled people (1942). IBM hired its first black salesperson in 1946, and in 1952, CEO Thomas J. Watson, Jr. published the companys first written equal opportunity policy letter, one year before the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown vs. Board of Education and 11 years before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Human Rights Campaign has rated IBM 100% on its index of gay-friendliness every year since 2003,[150] with IBM providing same-sex partners of its employees with health benefits and an anti-discrimination clause. Additionally, in 2005, IBM became the first major company in the world to commit formally to not use genetic information in employment decisions; and in 2017, IBM was named to Working Mothers 100 ...

This class examines the role of the jury in capital sentencing, the selection of juries through the questioning of prospective jurors with the exclusion of those who cannot be fair and impartial, the use of peremptory strikes by the parties, the instructions to the jury and its deliberations. During jury selection, prospective jurors may be questioned about such things as their knowledge of the case from pretrial publicity, their racial attitudes, and whether their attitudes toward capital punishment would interfere with their ability to fairly consider the death penalty. Peremptory strikes allow both prosecutors and defense counsel to freely strike a certain number of jurors. Historically, they have been used to exclude racial minorities from jury service. Prof. Bright addresses that history and analyzes whether the Supreme Courts decisions prohibiting such discrimination are sufficient to prevent it. Sia Sanneh of the Equal Justice Initiative of Alabama discusses findings by the Initiative ...

history and contemporary politics restricts, deplores, ostracizes, and red bait those who would take on rapacious capitalism directly, even though that is exactly what must be done way beyond overturning the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission Supreme Court decision.. Karl Marx first depicted capitalism red in tooth and claw. Today many folks see those words as a compliment for capitalism and as praise for good capitalists. Red in tooth and claw is a term that applies to an evolutionary concept of Darwin and his gang. He and many other scientists believed for a long time that the most powerful force driving evolution was survival of the fittest and the fittest were the predators who were red in tooth and claw. This conception of what is fittest intertwining with sexism, racism, etc. has leaked into our standards for valuating appropriate or needed human behavior. With capitalism, mostly at the corporate level, and in some other areas of human endeavor we keep the predators around or ...

WHITECLAY, Neb. — Activists are calling for more reforms in a tiny Nebraska town even after a state Supreme Court decision closed the community’s beer stores that sold millions of cans of beer each year despite an alcohol ban on a nearby Native American reservation.

The focus for such contentiousness is a Supreme Court decision upholding an act of Congress to add 20 years to the literary copyright. At specific issue in the case titled Eldred vs. Ashcroft is legislation known as the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, enacted without much interest or debate in 1998. It was hardly noticed in the popular press although Disney had done intensive lobbying to get it through Congress. Eric Eldred, publisher of an e-book Web site that the National Endowment for the Humanities calls one of the 20 best literary sites on the Web, had tried to create a global public library of literature no longer covered by copyright, including poems by Robert Frost as well as novels and stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis and Sherwood Anderson, which would have entered the public domain but for the copyright extension. Other plaintiffs included the director of a church choir and a company that restores old films. Mickey Mouse didnt actually have a voice in the ...

For now, the suspension of trials and in-person hearings is set to last through Monday, April 6, 2020.

The most potentially significant capital case this Term was Bucklew v. Precythe,[12] involving an as-applied challenge to Missouris lethal injection protocol. Death-sentenced inmates have never won a challenge to execution methods in the U.S. Supreme Court. In the nineteenth century, the Court rejected a challenge to execution by firing squad in the Utah Territory.[13] Citing scholars of military law, the Court found the authorities . . . quite sufficient to show that the punishment of shooting as a mode of executing the death penalty did not constitute cruel and unusual punishment as proscribed by the Eighth Amendment.[14] A little over a decade later, the Court likewise rejected the claim that New Yorks adoption of the electric chair violated the Constitution, although the decision rested in part on its view that New York-as opposed to the Utah Territory-was not a federal entity and thus not clearly bound by the Eighth Amendment[15] (which the Court did not incorporate and apply against ...

On June 3, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to take on the question of whether states (and instruments of the state) are immune from copyright infringement liability under the doctrine of sovereign immunity.1. It is well established that under the Eleventh Amendment that neither states nor instrumentalities of the state may be sued in federal court unless the state or instrumentality waives its sovereign immunity or Congress enacts a law to override it. Congress attempted to do the latter when it passed the Copyright Remedy Clarification Act of 1990 (CRCA). However, nearly every court that has considered the issue since has concluded that the CRCA is unconstitutional.2. The courts have found Congress did not have the constitutional authority to enact the CRCA for two reasons. First, although it is possible to abrogate sovereign immunity through Section Five of the Fourteenth Amendment, which authorizes Congress to protect property rights (including intellectual property rights) from state ...

New Delhi, The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a plea seeking an NIA probe into the alleged Congress toolkit.

Beginning in the 1930s, shortly after the Supreme Court had incorporated the First Amendment into the due process clause (thereby making it an enforceable constraint not only on the federal government [Congress shall make no law . . .] but on State and municipal governments as well) the Jehovahs Witnesses went on a campaign to attack, in court, restrictions on their ability to proselytize door-to-door and to give voice to unpopular views. During one particular 8 year period (1938 to 1946) they brought no fewer than 23 separate First Amendment actions to the Supreme Court (prompting Justice Stone to quip that they ought to have an endowment in view of the aid they give in solving the legal problems of civil liberties). They won some spectacularly important victories - West Virginia Board of Ed. v Barnette (1943) (children cannot be forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance or salute the flag), Chaplinsky v New Hampshire (19420 (establishing the fighting words doctrine, and overturning ...

Polish parliamentarians have voted to reverse legislation that would have forced the early retirement of supreme court judges, in a move that sees Poland comply with a ruling by the European Court of Justice. On Wednesday Polish MPs in the lower house of parliament voted to repeal a law that would have lowered the retirement age for supreme court judges from 70 to 65, forcing the immediate retirement of 27 of the courts 72 judges. On Friday, the Polish senate followed suit and also voted to change the law. The planned change in rules has now gone to President Andrzej Duda to be signed into law.. The EU brought Poland to court over the lowering of the retirement age last April, accusing Warsaw of undermining the independence of the courts and politicising the selection process for new judges. Chief Justice Malgorzata Gersdorf, the president of Polands Supreme Court called the law a purge of the Supreme Court conducted under the guise of retirement reform, while civil society groups warned ...

This article originally appeard on Cohen & Malad LLPs website here. The piece, written by IndyBar member Arend J. Abel, is being published below in its entirety.. By Arend J. Abel, Cohen & Malad LLP. Two and a half years ago, I wrote a blog article wondering whether a decision from the Court of Appeals signaled a change in Indianas summary judgment standard. Now we have the answer. In a unanimous decision in Hughley v. State, which Indianas Chief Justice Loretta Rush wrote, the Indiana Supreme Court reaffirmed the Indiana summary judgment standard.. The Indiana standard differs from the federal summary judgment standard in important ways. Under the Indiana standard, a party seeking summary judgment must negate an element of the other partys claim, or establish an affirmative defense, such as the statute of limitations, with undisputed evidence. Under the federal standard, by contrast, the moving party can simply assert that the other party has no admissible evidence to support the claims, ...

CHEYENNE - The Wyoming Supreme Court last week affirmed a decision out of Laramie County District Court that requires a local woman to pay

The canal was finished in 1888, but a mere four years after its construction the project became known as Soules Folly. The Arkansas River, the canals source, flowed irregularly, and nowhere near the predicted levels of water came through the canal. Add to that unusually porous soil, and the canal was dry more often than wet; the promised Eden of Southwest Kansas growing never came to fruition.. The westward movement of settlers into Colorado and their use of the Arkansas River proved to be another reason the canal never filled. These Colorado farmers built their own canals upstream, diverting enough water to decrease the flow of the Arkansas into Kansas. A conflict erupted between the two states resulting in a decades-long legal fracas that saw United States Supreme Court decisions in 1902, 1907, 1943, 1985, 1995, 2001, and 2009. Even today, people in Dodge City claim that Colorado uses too much water from the Arkansas. Its easy to understand why. Most days, the Arkansas River through Dodge ...

One of the biggest obstacles in any medical malpractice case is discovery. Discovery is the portion of a lawsuit in which each side gathers information before trial. In a medical malpractice case, this involves gathering expert testimony from other physicians, obtaining patient records, and getting the details of the negligent actions that caused injury.. Hospitals and doctors often fight discovery requests tooth and nail. They are very reluctant to disclose information for fear of revealing negligent actions on the part of the hospital or physician. This means that often, the most important part of a medical malpractice lawsuit occurs during discovery.. In the case before the Illinois Supreme Court, the issue is whether the states Data Collection Act and the Health Care Quality Improvement Act allow a hospital to refuse to give over documents regarding physician credentials. The case arose after a doctor at the hospital allegedly botched a gallbladder surgery that ended up causing ...

Politico , Posted on February 20, 2018 An Arkansas judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit filed by Monsanto seeking to block the states plan to ban the warm-weather use of the herbicide dicamba. Monsanto and the Arkansas Plant Board have been engaged in a monthslong fight over the use of the herbicide in the state. The plant board - which is made up of farmers, agricultural business representatives, pesticide officials and weed scientists - voted last year to prohibit the use of the herbicide from April 16 through Oct. 31 after widespread complaints from farmers that the herbicide drifted from neighboring fields and damaged their crops.In response, Monsanto not only sued the board, but also sued the boards 13 members individually. Arkansas lawmakers, however, upheld the plant boards decision in January.The Pulaski County Circuit Court judge threw out the case based on an Arkansas Supreme Court ruling that makes it difficult to sue state agencies.We are disappointed in the courts decision to ...

At the height of Alabamas search for lethal injection drugs, state officials were turned down by every pharmacy they contacted for help, according to court records filed Wednesday. State officials asked every licensed compounding pharmacist in Alabama to make batches of pentobarbital - once the primary drug used to kill inmates - and all refused. Attempts to buy the drug from four other states also failed, court documents state.. Those refusals could point to a rough road ahead for the death penalty, despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year that cleared another drug, midazolam, for use in executions.... Alabama officials are trying to resume executions by lethal injection after a two-year hiatus caused by legal challenges and shortages of key execution drugs.. Tommy Arthur, condemned to death for the 1980s murder-for-hire of Muscle Shoals resident Troy Wicker, is one of several inmates who have challenged the states current approach to execution: injecting an inmate with midazolam to ...

In the seven or so states that enacted bans on affirmative action at their public universities, freshman enrollments of blacks and Hispanics almost always fell afterward as much as 50 percent at UCLA and the University of California, Berkeley although in some cases they later rebounded.

The electric chair is cruel and unusual punishment, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled on Friday. Working on a clean slate, Nebraska may choose a form of lethal injection that does not rely on the combination of three chemicals that is the subject of a pending challenge in the Supreme Court of the United States. Fridays ruling is not binding outside Nebraska, but some legal experts said courts may now be reluctant to allow condemned inmates to choose electrocution in states where that is an option. Lethal gas was briefly popular, and lethal injection, now the almost universal method of execution, was introduced in 1977. Thirty-four of the 38 states with capital punishment had moved by 1999 to lethal injection as the sole method or as an option, largely because it was considered more humane than the other methods.

An Erle C. Kenton-directed Paramount feature based on the 1896 H. G. Wells novel The Island of Dr. Moreau, Island of Lost Souls (1932) is the story of a mad scientists attempts to convert wild animals into human beings by way of vicious medical procedures. Through the eyes of Edward Parker (Richard Arlen), a shipwrecked innocent, we discover Dr. Moreau (the inimitable Charles Laughton), living with his assistant, Montgomery (a laconic Arthur Hohl), among the beast-men he has molded in the laboratory he calls the House of Pain. The film was a sensation when it was released. Its frank references to vivisection and Moreaus delight in feeling like God got it banned in twelve countries, including England, where it was described as being against nature. In America, state censors-established in the wake of a 1915 Supreme Court ruling that motion pictures were not protected speech-cut various lines and scenes, depending on local standards and tastes. Nonetheless, people were reportedly so repulsed ...

New Jerseys Supreme Court has reinstated the matter of Gilbert v. Stewart, 2021 N.J. LEXIS 773 (July 21, 2021), in which the plaintiff had filed suit against the defendant, attorney Kenyatta K. Stewart, alleging professional negligence in the practice of law. The trial court had earlier dismissed the lawsuit, finding that there were no damages proximately caused by defendant Stewarts alleged legal malpractice, and the Appellate Division affirmed the dismissal. The Supreme Court reversed the dismissal and remanded to the trial court for further proceedings.. The underlying facts were largely undisputed. The plaintiff was, at all relevant times, employed by the State of New Jersey Judiciary, within the Passaic Vicinages Probation Department. In 2014, the plaintiff learned from her ex-husband that numerous citations had been issued to her, requiring an appearance at Woodland Park Municipal Court, through her ex-husbands use of a vehicle which was registered in the name of the plaintiff. ...

Supreme court upholds judgment from 2012 that health workers coerced three HIV positive mothers to consent to prodedure.. Namibias Supreme Court has upheld a ruling that health workers sterilised HIV-positive women without their consent.. The original 2012 judgment had found that health workers had coerced three HIV-positive mothers to sign sterilisation consent forms they did not fully understand, while in labour.. The Southern Africa Litigation Centre said the ruling sends a message to the government to stop the practice in the southwestern African nation, and elsewhere on the continent.. Priti Patel, deputy director and HIV programme manager for the centre, told Al Jazeera the case was far from isolated.. What we think should happen now is that the government of Namibia needs to step up and start investigating the claims of these other women, she said.. The government needs to take active steps to make sure this stops happening.. This decision has far-reaching consequences not only for ...

One of the first discussions of intellectual disabilities and the death penalty occurred in 1978 when the U.S. Supreme Court decided Lockett v. Ohio (1978). The Court held that evidence of a defendants mental disabilities is admissible during the sentencing hearing as a mitigating factor. However, the ruling did not forbid the execution of people with intellectual disabilities.. In 1989, the question of whether individuals with intellectual disabilities could be executed was brought before the Supreme Court in Penry v. Lynaugh (1989). The Court decided that although intellectual disability is a factor that may lessen a defendants culpability for a capital offense, the Eighth Amendment did not preclude the execution of a person based on his or her intellectual disability alone. The Court also decided that as long as a jury or judge was able to consider a defendants intellectual disability when imposing sentence, the determination of whether death is the appropriate punishment could be made on ...

A In 1974, after careful study of private retirement pension plans, Congress enacted the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), 88 Stat. 829, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq. Among the principal purposes of this comprehensive and reticulated statute was to ensure that employees and their beneficiaries would not be deprived of anticipated retirement benefits by the termination of pension plans before sufficient funds have been accumulated in the plans. Nachman Corp. v. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., 446 U. S. 359, 446 U. S. 361-362, 446 U. S. 374-375 (1980). See Alessi v. Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc., 451 U. S. 504, 451 U. S. 510-511 (1981).

Noreen received the death penalty in 2010 after she was found to have made derogatory comments about Islams prophet, Muhammad, during an argument with a Muslim woman.. In June 2009, Noreen, then aged 38, was picking berries in the fields as a day labourer in Sheikhupura, outside Lahore, in eastern Pakistan. It was hot. She brought water to a female co-worker, who objected that the touch of a Christian had made the water haram, or religiously forbidden for Muslims. The woman reportedly told Noreen to convert to Islam in order to become purified of her ritual impurity. Noreens rejoinder was perceived as an insult to Islam. She was arrested, accused of blasphemy against the prophet and the Quran, and has been in prison ever since.. The Muslim woman, with her sister, were the only two eyewitnesses in the case, but the defence failed to convince the appeals judges that their evidence lacked credibility.. In the Lahore High Court appeal hearing in October 2014, Bibis then-lawyer, Naeem Shakir, ...

Introduction. Delawares Supreme Court recently decided a trio of cases concerning the admissibility of biomechanical expert testimony. Biomechanics is the study of the mechanical bases of biological, especially muscular, activity; also: the study of the principles and relations involved.[2] The decisions, Eskin v. Carden,[3] Mason v. Rizzi,[4] and Potter v. Blackburn[5] have changed the manner in which biomechanical expert testimony can be offered into evidence in Delaware. In these cases, the Delaware Supreme Court, for the first time, held that biomechanical expert testimony is admissible when offered to show a relationship between the force of a collision and the resulting injuries.[6] The Court did, however, place substantial limitations on those who would proffer such evidence. The Court held that trial judges cannot admit biomechanical expert testimony unless the method of evaluation used is properly calibrated in such a way as to take into consideration the particular medical history ...

Supreme Court rules that Title VII protects LGBTQ employees from workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. (WASHINGTON, D.C.) -The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a landmark case today that Title VIIs protections from workplace discrimination because of … sex apply to LGBTQ employees. In a trio of cases challenging discriminatory actions of employers, the court ruled that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects LGBTQ employees from being discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

On September 29, 2015, the New Jersey Supreme Court, in Jarrell v. Kaul,[1] clarified what is actionable under the statutory medical malpractice insurance mandate imposed on physicians practicing medicine in the State of New Jersey.. Notably, under the Courts decision in Jarrell, healthcare facilities which grant privileges to physicians, both employees and contractors, have a continuous responsibility to ensure that the physicians comply with licensure requirements, including the maintenance of proper malpractice insurance. However, the Court ruled that patients have neither a private cause of action against a physician who violates the malpractice insurance mandate nor the ability to bring an informed consent claim against the physician premised upon said physicians uninsured status.. According to the Courts opinion, Dr. Richard Kaul performed a spinal fusion procedure on his patient, James Jarrell, at the Market Street Surgical Center, however, his insurance policy expressly excluded ...

In 2004, a lot of controversy began to swirl around the topic of marriage as homosexual marriage entered the news once again. In 1999, the Vermont Supreme Court ordered that the state must make accommodations for gay unions, bringing the issue into the public eye. Vermont created civil unions as a result. In 2004, the Massachusetts Supreme Court went a step further, and ruled that the state must accommodate not just an institution equal to marriage, as civil union was designed to be, but that gay marriage itself must be offered in the state. Subsequently, mayors in New York and California began to offer gay marriage in their towns and cities, citing civil rights concerns. Those opposed to gay marriage began to urge that an amendment to the Constitution be created to define marriage as being between a man and a woman only. Opponents of the amendment pointed to the failed Prohibition Amendment as a reason why such social issues should stay out of the Constitution. In the absence of any such ...

In January 2012, in the midst of proceedings in the Israeli Supreme Court concerning the construction of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu established the Committee to Examine the State of Building in Judea and Samaria. On July 9, 2012, the Committee, headed by retired Supreme Court of Israel Justice Edmund Levy, published its report. The Levy report concludes that Israel is not an occupying power, but the sole sovereign over the Palestinian territory. The report reflects long-term Israeli policies and practices, but also contests them with numerous, far-reaching recommendations. Most importantly, the reports rationale calls upon states to evaluate their understanding of Israels legal status in the Palestinian territory.. Territorial Status in the Levy Report. The Levy report, which purports to conduct a legal analysis of the issues at hand, concludes in favor of the legality of Israels settlement project under both domestic and ...

But it is nonsense like this that is pushing me away from the liberals. The claim that a company not providing free abortion drugs is depriving women of their rights and somehow is some sort of crisis that the left needs to rally behind, lest religious zealots seize the day is beyond ridiculous. After reading some of the posts on social media, I think that the lunatics have taken over the asylum, supplemented by people who are apparently incapable of understanding case law, and so vapid that they cant even bother to read an unbiased treatise on the case to understand the basic facts ...

Posted on 04/10/2011 5:35:48 AM PDT by BykrBayb. GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. Grand Junction proclaimed Monday as National Health Care Decisions Day, urging all citizens to make their health care wishes known through advance care planning for managing a serious illness, or end-of-life care. Living wills and advance directives are documents that spell out your wishes if you should become incapacitated due to a medical crisis. Millions of people began filling out living wills and advance directives after the 1976 Supreme Court case of Karen Ann Quinlan, whose parents battled with hospital staff who sought to keep Quinlan alive through artificial means, even though she had lapsed into a vegetative state and doctors had determined she would never recover. The Supreme Court eventually ruled in the parents favor, who said they wanted Karen to die with grace and dignity. People who make their wishes known in advance can avoid situations like Quinlans, and that of another woman Terri Schiavo who suffered a ...

Ghana went into its 8th elections in the fourth republic on the 7th December 2020. Although the elections were generally hailed as successful, others believe the December 2020 elections were not flawless. The Electoral Commission of Ghana declared the winner of the elections in favour of the New Patriotic Party. But the opposition political party, the National Democratic Congress was not convinced the results of the elections. This led to many press conferences, protests and demonstrations, especially from the opposition National Democratic Congress. Finally, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress, Mr. John Dramani Mahama petitioned the Supreme Court of Ghana to challenge the validity of the declaration of Mr. Akufo Addo as the winner of the elections. In this episode of Cebsar-Talk, we educate our audience on the law and whats happening in the ongoing election petition at the Supreme Court of Ghana.

Apia, SAMOA - Samoas Head of State Tuimalealiifano Vaaletoa Sualauvi II has declared that parliament convene on Monday 2nd August.

DPN opposes the death penalty in all cases, unconditionally, regardless of the method chosen to kill the condemned prisoner. The death penalty is inherently cruel and degrading, an archaic punishment that is incompatible with human dignity. To end the death penalty is to abandon a destructive diversionary and divisive public policy that is not consistent with widely held values. The death penalty not only runs the risk of irrevocable error, it is also costly to the public purse as well as in social and psychological terms.The death penalty has not been proved to have a special deterrent effect. It tends to be applied in a discriminatory way on grounds of race and class. It denies the possibility of reconciliation and rehabilitation. It prolongs the suffering of the murder victims family and extends that suffering to the loved ones of the condemned prisoner. It diverts resources that could be better used to work against violent crime and assist those affected by it ...

Every day estimated 30 deaths in India is under way due to the ongoing trade and use of white asbestos. Asbestos in Greek means indestructible. Greeks called asbestos the magic mineral. Asbestos is a generic term, referring usually to six kinds of naturally occuring mineral fibres. Of these six, three are used more commonly. Chrysotile is the most common, accounts for almost 90 per cent of the asbestos used in the industry, but it is not unusual to encounter Amosite or Crocidolite as well. Though Crocidolite asbestos is banned in India, it can still be found in old insulation material, old ships that come from other countries for wrecking in India. All types of asbestos tend to break into very tiny fibre, almost microscopic. In fact, some of them may be up to 700 times smaller than human hair. Because of their small size, once released into the air, they may stay suspended in the air for hours or even days. Asbestos fibres are virtually indestructible. They are resistant to chemicals and ...

What you wouldnt know, if you just been looking at the headlines (Google Iceland jails bankers and youll see what I mean), is that Iceland had not actually been jailing bankers. Heres a typical one from the BBC, Iceland jails former Kaupthing bank bosses (12 December 2013). In fact, nobody went to jail at that time: They were convicted, but all four Kaupthing officials appealed their sentences. If you search similarly titled stories, you will see that headline jailings were either convictions, or an affirmation of these lower court decisions by the Icelandic Supreme Court, neither of which actually led to immediate jailings. Indeed, one of the Kaupthing Four, as they are now called, was living in Luxembourg (he had headed Kaupthings Luxembourg branch), and I wondered to myself if could even be compelled to return to Iceland to serve his sentence ...

In an answer yesterday I referred to affirmative action. A feminist commented that I was referring to a non existent law - that affirmative action doesn't really exist. One only need check Wikipedia to find a detailed history of affirmative action. Similarly, I know of another feminist here who routinely denies that the Women's Educational Equity Act ever existed, again despite the fact it was passed by congress and is easy to verify. I've seen feminists deny the small business advantages for women owned businesses, deny VAWA, deny the advantages clearly spelled out under Obamacare. What do feminists hope to gain by denying the existence of policies that are common knowledge and easy to verify? What kind of strategy is this? Is it like denying the holocaust?
