...improperly frustrating legitimate law enforcement efforts.' United States v. McConney, 728 F.2d 1195, 1199 (9th Cir.) * This Is solely used in a case where there Is a suspect either getting out of a car or running out of a car per say, trying to evade authorities. * In this particular case officers respond to a drug activity call on the corner of navy and Main Street. The suspect, a black male, wearing blue jeans and a white t-shirt was seen leaving a dark shady area with something in hand. Responding to the call, Officers A and B drive to the scene at the corner of navy and Main Street in a Marked Police Unit. The suspect sees this and almost immediately drops a small brown paper bag while trying to flee the scene. Officers acted upon impulse and started running for the suspect. Officer B observes him drop the bag and persues the suspect on foot alongside Officer A. The officers quickly acted and hunted down the suspect in his attempt to flee the scene. Officers speedily apprehended the suspect. The Supreme Court held that excessive force claims brought under section 1983 are not governed by a single, generic stan-dard.9 Analysis for this type of claim must begin with identification of the specific constitutional right allegedly violated by the use of force. * After the suspect was apprehended, (Name now known now as John Doe) the officers scurry back to the squad car for further questioning. (With the officers backs facing each other)...

...Facts: Betty Smith is suing John Doe for injuries she sustained while being driven in Doe’s vehicle. Billy Thief was driving the vehicle when Ms. Smith’s injuries occurred. Billy Thief came into possession of the vehicle after John Doe left his keys in his vehicle and went into a Quickie Mart. When John Doe left his vehicle he left the keys completely hidden from sight beneath a book on the front seat of the vehicle. While John Doe was in the Quickie Mart Billy thief stole his vehicle. When John Doe left the Quickie Mart he saw his vehicle was missing and immediately called the police to report it stolen. Sometime after stealing the vehicle, Billy Thief picked up his friend Ms. Smith. Ms. Smith entered the vehicle despite knowing that the vehicle was stolen. Shortly thereafter Billy Thief crashed the vehicle into a tree, resulting in the injuries sustained by Ms. Smith. The injuries included a broken arm and $10,000 in doctor’s bills. Ms. Smith alleges that John Doe is liable for her injuries based on section 1210(a) of the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law. Question Presented: Is John Doe liable under the New York Vehicle and Traffic Code 1210(a) for Ms. Smith’s injuries arising from the accident involving John Doe’s vehicle? Short Answer: No. John Doe was not in violation of the New York Vehicle and Traffic Code section 1210(a) and therefore did not act negligently. Furthermore, Ms. Smith is not within the class of persons intended to be protected by the New York Vehicle...

...John Doe is sometimes used to refer to a typical male in other contexts as well, in a similar manner to John Q. Public in the United States or Joe Public, John Smith or Joe Bloggs in Britain. For example, the first name listed on a form might be John Doe, along with a fictional address or other fictional information to provide an example of how to fill in the form. The name is also used frequently in US popular culture, for example in the Frank Capra film Meet John Doe. John Doe was also the name of a 2002 American television series. Similarly, a child or baby whose identity is unknown may be referred to as Baby Doe. A notorious murder case in Kansas City, Missouri, referred to the baby victim as Precious Doe.[3] Other unidentified female murder victims have also been nicknamed by the public or investigators as "Cali Doe" and "Princess Doe". Additional persons may be called James Doe, Judy Doe, etc. However, to avoid possible confusion, if two anonymous or unknown parties are cited in a specific case or action, the surnames Doe and Roe may be used simultaneously; for example, "John Doe v. Jane Roe". If several anonymous parties are referenced, they may simply be labelled John Doe #1, John Doe #2, etc. (the U.S. Operation Delego cited 21 (numbered) "John Doe"s) or labelled with other variants of Doe / Roe / Poe / etc. Other early alternatives such as John Stiles and Richard Miles are now rarely used, and Mary Major has been used in some American federal cases.[4] The Doe...

...Most of us would be quite flattered to find an entry about us on the Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia where anybody can create or edit an entry. Not so for John Seigenthaler. His Wikipedia bio said: John Seigenthaler Sr. was the assistant to Attorney General Robert Kennedy in the early 1960′s. For a brief time, he was thought to have been directly involved in the Kennedy assassinations of both John, and his brother, Bobby. Nothing was ever proven. In a USA Today editorial Seigenthaler begins by quoting the false bio and then writes: I have no idea whose sick mind conceived the false, malicious “biography” that appeared under my name for 132 days on Wikipedia, the popular, online, free encyclopedia whose authors are unknown and virtually untraceable. . . . At age 78, I thought I was beyond surprise or hurt at anything negative said about me. I was wrong. One sentence in the biography was true. I was Robert Kennedy’s administrative assistant in the early 1960s. I also was his pallbearer. It was mind-boggling when my son, John Seigenthaler, journalist with NBC News, phoned later to say he found the same scurrilous text on Reference.com and Answers.com. Seigenthaler explains how he tried to track down the person who posted the information: I phoned Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia’s founder and asked, “Do you … have any way to know who wrote that?” “No, we don’t,” he said. Representatives of the other two websites said their computers are programmed to copy data verbatim from Wikipedia, never...

...I was not fortunate enough to see Se7en in the movie theaters but I have seen the movie more than once since its original release. I think this time was the first time I watched it differently though, I usually watch movies in anticipation of what is coming next, what will happen to the characters next. I have found over the past 15 weeks in this class, that by always watching movies like that, I’m missing out on some of the enjoyment of the movies themselves. Since I already knew what was going to happen in the movie, I watched it for moment it was in, not what was going to be. It was the first time I watched a movie for what is going on now as opposed to waiting for what is to come. This was also the first time that the movie had a very different feel to me, it was as if I knew what was going on. Therefore, I did not have to pay as much attention to the plot and could focus more on some of things that we have talked about in class, like the signs and moods set by the director. The movie had a different feel to it regarding the location and place in time that it occurred. It could have been anywhere, any major city or even a just a major concentration of people without being defined as a city. The character, plot, and events did not seem dated, the only thing that had a dated feel to it was the technology, even that can be viewed a couple different ways. It could be the past where beepers, fax machines, and limited internet access are the cutting edge of technology, or it could...

I have provided some links to forms of legal memos that you might use, and there are other examples online. http://www.law.cuny.edu/legal-writing/students/memorandum/memorandum-3.html http://www.lawandborder.com/Academic/LW/LW--Samples/SampleMemoSTCL.pdf You will need to research the position of the individual whom you are representing. What are the positions regarding each party in this case – that is, The Corporation, John Smith and Joe Doe? To what extent do these individuals’ values reflect their positions toward the issue, toward the plaintiff, toward the tribe and toward the state? Would it make any difference whether this took place in a PL 280 or non-280 state? When you have determined the answers to these questions, begin your legal research and prepare to argue your case in court. You will need to analyze pertinent law as we have done in class, looking for facts, issues and analyses, just as the online memo templates suggest. When you mention a particular case, you must cite it using the following hint: Montana v. United States, 450 U.S. 544 (1981), 546. Remember, your boss is very lazy and hates research and has forgotten everything he ever learned in law school, so you’re going to have to explain the whole line of cases leading up to this one, starting with the founding cases of federal Indian law.

...periodicals and what do we understand by magazine. Periodical: A publication issued at regular intervals, usually monthly or weekly. * Daily Newspapers * Monthly Magazines * Bi-Monthly (Two Months) * Quarterly (Every three months) * Semi-Annual (Every Six months) Magazine: Magazines are publications, usually periodical publications, which are printed or published electronically. (The online versions are called online magazines.) They are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three. At its root, the word "magazine" refers to a collection or storage location. In the case of written publication, it is a collection of written articles. Example: McEvoy, Dermot. “Little Books, Big Success.” Publishers Weekly 30 Oct. 2006: 26-28 Print. Citing an article in a magazine using MLA: To cite a magazine published every week or every two weeks, we have to give the full date followed by a colon, the inclusive page numbers of the article and the medium of publication consulted. If the article is not printed on consecutive pages, we have to write only the first page number with a plus (+) sign, leaving no intervening space. We should not add issue numbers even if they are listed. To cite a magazine published every month or every two months, we should give the month or months and year. If the article...

...As a counsellor, I should always remember that I must respect my client’s integrity. I shall not disclose the information to a third party. But in this case, I have to justify on what to tell and what not to tell. I learned that revealing information that the student disclosed to me can ruin the counselling relationship. The student, John Doe is my client and I would have my responsibility to keep the conversation between John and I confidential. Firstly, I would make my decision based on my understanding about the four teachers, their history, relationship with students, and whether they are trustworthy. Next, I would consult others by asking suggestion from a professional psychologist or have a talk with school principal and a senior school counsellor. Then, I would tell them I will have to seek for John’s permission for disclosing some information about him. If I would have make a decision whether to tell or not to tell the teachers on the spot, I would keep most of the information about the John, and answer only a general question asked by them. When required to disclose confidential information without a client’s permission, school counsellors are to reveal only “essential” information (ACA, 1995). According to Phillips (2007), this ethical dilemma is “nearly a constant struggle for school counsellors and can create a dynamic tension within the educational environment, where the students’ right to confidentiality needs to be weighed against others’ needs to know”. As a school...

During the course of litigation, it is important that Premier College is able to make its paper files and electronically stored information available to our own lawyers and, if discovery requests are issued to us, available to the lawyers representing the other parties in the case. It is crucial that you take affirmative steps to preserve both paper documents and electronically stored information that are relevant to this dispute and that are in your custody or control.
