Basing her arguments further on development studies, human rights, politics and even law subjects, Lint explores the general field of international law in regards to how it applies to human right to life. National as well as international security has been explored as one area where human rights are always under threat. The voice in this peer-review article is that of an authority figure considering that Alexander is a
This clearly shows an effective protection of liberty by judges. Furthermore, a vital protection of liberties can be exercised via judicial review. Judicial review is a process that is conducted in the Supreme Court that hears an appeal over lawfulness of a case. It is not focused on the rights and wrongs of a case, this would be a case for appeal courts following the above methods, judicial review is simply an examination of the lawfulness of a case. For example, in the case of Home Secretary v. AP 2010 an appeal allowing the government to detain AP on a control order
Is Mackie’s argument from relativity compelling? Mackie’s ‘Ethics: Inventing right and wrong’ critically assesses the idea that there are, or even can be, objective moral truths, and exposits Mackie’s ‘moral relativist’ stance. I intend also in this essay to criticise the idea of moral objectivity, and to deal with the objections that could be potentially raised to a relativist stance. The most obvious task, it would seem, to begin with when assessing the idea of moral objectivity, is to come to an understanding about what is literally meant by ‘an objective moral truth’. The word objective immediately brings to mind a state of actual existence, as opposed to simply ideal existence.
Fault Essay The Oxford dictionary states that “fault” can mean an imperfection of character, responsibility, or blame. The legal understanding of fault focuses predominantly on blame, as someone must be held accountable for a loss. The role of fault varies from essential to unimportant across different areas of English law. An example of fault being used in the law is the Mens Rea requirement in s.18 OAPA. This requires specific intention, which shows that the D must have been culpable voluntarily.
In this essay, first the arguments of the Federalist Paper and the Supreme ruling of Marbury v. Madison will be discussed. Then these two sources will be compared and the similarity and difference will be clarified. Finally, the necessity of judicial review in the checks and balance system and its importance will be proved. One of the most important features of the jurisdiction, Hamilton stated, was the complete independence of the branch from the other two branches. The tenure in which the judges hold during good behavior is their biggest protection and creates the separation from other branches.
Each decision made says some things about the person that has made it. Decisions reveal, test, and shape the ideas we have of our self and our morals. Their consequences have far-reaching implications and the book indicates when they are made in haste, with only individual interpretation or emotion, they can be devastating to the owner. The author of Defining Moments, Joseph Badaracco, Jr., relies heavily on what history has taught us through great intellectual interpretations of the most prominent philosophers: Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill, Friedrich Nietzsche, Sophocles, Niccolo Machiavelli, William James, and Marcus Aurelius. Badaracco draws examples from other writers on ethics and philosophy to reinforce how, which, and when to apply the teachings of such forward thinkers to everyday situations, with which we are faced.
Policy is an important consideration for the courts to decide the duty owed by defendants. Lord Bridge suggested that it should be fair, just and reasonable when imposing duty on defendant. It is thought that the imposition of a duty solely base on foreseeability of damage is not desirable. As Winfield and Jolowicz suggests that “the court must decide not simply whether there is or is not a duty, but whether there should or should not be one.” For the purpose of this essay, I will discuss how policy can influence the imposition of duty. The most important policy concern has always been the “floodgates argument”.

The case of Ricci v. DeStefano presents a conflict created by a law plagued by inherent contradictions within its pragmatic intentions. When discussing the outcome of this case—a ruling in favor of the New Haven firefighters (the petitioners)—beyond the walls of a courtroom, it is perfectly acceptable to engage in emotional debates in attempts to concur with or disagree with the court’s decision. An empirical examination of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, however, yields an obvious conclusion in this particular case with respect to the empirical, judicial decision rendered by the court. What is most fascinating is that the law’s internal contradiction—the conflict between “disparate treatment” and “disparate impact”—aids, in either
