Facts In this breach of contract action, we are asked to decide, among other things, whether the parties formed an enforceable purchase agreement. After a trial, the circuit court ruled that only an option contract was formed and that it was unenforceable. Although it was labeled as an option contract, it had all the elements of a purchase agreement, and the parties treated it as a purchase agreement. Therefore, we reverse and remand. IV.

Both courts ruled that the arbitration agreement of 1998 was both procedurally and conscionable in its terms and enforceable, meaning that the dispute fell under the terms of the agreement. Viewing this case through ethical reasoning, whether it is through duty based ethics or out-come based ethics, it is clear that there is an incredible lack of ethical duty on Osborne Development Corporation’s part. Duty based ethics include the principal of rights, a key factor in determining whether a
In Pilgrim’s Pride, the court considered that electricity is not something that occupies physical space, or that can be picked up and moved, and that it is more like television signals and internet bandwidth – things that are not goods under the UCC. Pilgrim’s Pride, 421 B.R. at 239. The court also noted that, in the Fifth Circuit, the words “actual” and “necessary,” found in section 503(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, are to be narrowly construed. Id.

Burger. The Associate Justices were William J. Brennan, Jr., Potter Stewart, Byron White, Thurgood Marshall, Harry Blackmun, Lewis F. Powell, Jr., William Rehnquist, and John P. Stevens. In a 5 to 3 decision, the court held that Davis had not been deprived of any constitutional rights under the Due Process Clause. The Court also emphasized that constitutional privacy interests did not cover Davis’s claims. The Court argued that the constitutional right to privacy was limited to matters relating to “marriage, procreation, contraception, family relationships, and child rearing education.” The publication of records of official acts, such as arrests, did not fall under the rubric of privacy rights.
The District Court agreed, ordered her reinstated, and awarded backpay, damages, and attorney’s fees. Finding that the questionnaire, not the refusal to accept the transfer, was the real reason for respondent’s termination, the court held the questionnaire involved matters of public concern and that the State had not “clearly demonstrated” that the questionnaire interfered with the operation of the District Attorney’s office. The Court of Appeals affirmed. Petitioner appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for

History: Charles Katz was convicted under a federal statute of transmitting wagering information by telephone across state lines. The court of appeals affirmed the conviction. The Supreme Court granted certiorari and reversed.
Rochin v. California CRIJ 2323-1002 Temple College Abstract Rochin v. California The Fourth Amendment is blunt when it comes to warrants: “ and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized (Worrall, p. 100).” The seizing of evidence is often a result of arrests and searches. The Supreme Court has been especially restrictive with regard to bodily intrusions into the human body (Worral, p. 129), in the case of Richard Antonio Rochin, it all took place on July 1, 1949, when three Los Angeles officers barged into the residence of Rochin without a search warrant, because they had word that Mr. Rochin was selling narcotics. Upon entering the bedroom where Rochin was located in the home, the officers noticed two capsules on the night stand, when Rochin was asked “Whose stuff is this?” he immediately swallowed the capsules. One of the three officers forcibly tried to obtain the capsules out of Rochin's mouth, but failed at the attempt; so they transported Richard Antonio Rochin to the local hospital where he was strapped down, and had his stomach pumped against his will; until he regurgitated the capsules. The officers then processed the capsules and found them to be morphine.
