The court held that in the instant case the court had either found that these conditions were met or they were undisputed. Therefore, the communication was privileged and protected from disclosure. I believe the criteria set forth in RFF Family Partnership, LP v. Burns & Levinson is a very practical and rational one. It allows the lawyer to protect and serve his fiduciary duty to his client, and at the same time if a conflict should come up, it allows the lawyer to seek advice of a lawyer without the fear intimidation by way of disclosure. Such privileged communications lead to resolutions in resolving existing conflicts, and avoiding potential conflicts.
By reviewing cases of dubious outcome, they can protect the rights of the individual rather than letting the government figuratively, walk all over them. An example of a case that would come under this would be the protection of a prisoners rights
In the vigilantism cases, although we could all relate to the frustration involved for the actors, we all agree that one must stay within the bounds of the law to seek out justice. The next discussion involved civil disobedience and we found that we agreed that civil disobedience has been helpful historically to help change the laws and improve our society. However, the general consensus on civil disobedience was also that the acts of disobedience must be done in a peaceful manner for the acts to be effective. The final acts of crimes among professionals had another anonymous decision. Our team found that we did not agree with those professionals who chose to commit crimes.
Ethics can be separated into two categories, namely compliance and value. Compliance ethics emphasizes on following the law where individuals’ behaviour requirements are influenced by rewards and sanctions, while value ethics emphasizes on inspiring principles that people are expected to have such as integrity and fairness (Paine 1994). However, there can be cases where it is legal, but unethical. An example of this is from the case where Dr Susan Lim overcharged a Brunei royalty for her fees (Ho 2013). This is a legal but unethical issue.
Final Financial Analysis of The Home Depot and Lowes Ayesha Muhammad Columbia College The companies I picked for the assignment of financial statement analysis are, The Home Depot and Lowes. I will conduct an in dept analysis on both companies by looking into their history, comparing their strengths and weakness in their industry and compiling information about their current financial situation as it relates budgeting and investment. With this information, I will then give a recommendation into which company I would invest with good reason.

Duty of Care is the legal duty to take reasonable care so that others aren’t harmed and involves identifying risks and taking reasonable care in your response to these risks. Organisations should always ensure that they consult legal and legislative requirements when developing and maintaining their duty of care frameworks and consider working alone guidelines. 1.2 Diemmas that may arise Equipment- Clients may refuse to use hoists and stand aids as they have had bad experience in the past with using them which could affect clients hygiene, physical needs and means that staff can’t do their job to a high standard we would take note of what the clients have said and ring the manager to come up with another solution.

In this case, the supervisor should have approached Human Resources sooner and allowed them to make the decisions to breach the privacy and confidentiality. If there is a real risk of harm to the patient or other persons, a breach such as this could be warranted, but each case should reviewed separately and one person should not be making this decision (Mair, 2011). Business research is critical to a manger’s decision making, but ethical research is a very important part of the process. Information should be free of manipulation and confidentiality should be maintained to protect all parties
Question such as “what are the consequences to a police a police officer if they practice unprofessional behavior” or “how can the unprofessionalism of a police officer affect the citizen and their society”? Obviously the more experience the interviewer has with conducting the questions the better the interview will go. “Informational interviews are extremely valuable both as a research tool and as a networking technique; it is an opportunity for a candidate to learn more about a practice area, the role of an attorney in that specific organization. Informational interviewing is not an opportunity to ask for a job, but it is a chance to make a strong first impression that may lead to future contacts and opportunities” (Conducting an Informative Interview, 2010). Questions such as the examples given demonstrate the importance of professionalism in the law enforcement field and how it affects real life scenarios.
Instead of trying to lie and cover up his unethical actions, I am choosing to do what is ethically correct according to my profession and deontological ethics. Although I could not fully control his actions, I do have full control over what I choose to do. Deontological ethics states that it is wrong to brake the law to try and accuse an individual of a crime that they might not have caused in the first place. Juveniles have many rights under the law. As protectors of that law it is our duty to respect those rights and follow the rules set forth before
If the matters continue to be disregarded, the government would then face threats on their own accountability to the people and their right to rule. As mentioned earlier, this ironically may become a threat to the securitisation of human security issue as well. With regards to domestic pressure, if the human security threat raised is only faced by a minority group or a group with less power in the state yet it benefits the majority or a group with power — the state would then face the need to strike a balance between both
