...Kudler Fine Foods uses Anne Shousha as its legal counsel. Anne is Kathy Kudler’s sister-in-law and is a successful tax attorney working with a major accounting firm in San Diego, CA. Kathy is the only person in the company that talks with Anne. Other than a standing order that any "slip and fall" accidents are to be immediately reported to Kathy, each store manager is free to determine what legal issues need to be referred to Kathy. Once an issue is reported to Kathy, she will decide whether to ask Anne for advice. Generally, Kathy asks Anne for legal advice during informal telephone calls or at family gatherings. Occasionally, Anne will meet formally with Kathy and the attorneys for the store’s insurance carrier.

...for the matter R vs Williamson. His Honour Judge D Frearson SC presided. The defendant had pleaded guilty prior to this hearing on 15th October 2013. 3. What were the charges against the defendant? Were these summary or indictable offences? How did you know this? Williamson entered a guilty plea to four major charges related to cheating and defrauding Health Services Union (HSU), creating false documents with the intention to deceive, and the recruiting of others to hinder a police investigation. Of these four charges, Williamson was charged with two counts of Director Cheat and Defraud which, which according to s.176A of the NSW Crimes Act 1900 No 40 carries a maximum penalty of ten years, one count of Officer Publish False Statement which carries a maximum of seven years according to s.192H of the Act, and two counts of Recruiting Another to Assist in Carrying out a Criminal Act s351A(1) of the Act. There were four forms of this count each carrying a maximum penalty of seven years per form. In Australian common law jurisdictions (New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria) an indictable offence is an offence that is tried on an indictment where an individual has been formally accused of a crime and those charges must be brought before a court due to the more serious nature of the offence compared to that of summary offences (Findlay et al., 2009). Williamson pleaded guilty to these charged in a previous trial hearing and pursuant to s.53 of the Crimes (Sentencing...

...Traditionally, a marriage consists of a man and woman joining their lives together through a ceremony that is typically religious. The evolution of people and relationships has majorly impacted the ideal image of how a marriage is entered upon. For example, it was taboo to most people during and before the Civil Rights era in the United States for individuals of different ethnic backgrounds to date one another; let alone, get married and start a family. It almost seems that most people who were against interracial relationships during this time believed that God’s intent of marriage only should be of two people who share the same faith and heritage. Well, just like all of Earth’s entities we as humans evolve! More specifically, Americans have evolved in how we view right and wrong in today’s society. Currently, there are various levels of how family structures exist. “With marriage exerting less influence over how adults organize their lives and bear their children, cohabitation is filling some of the vacuum” (Leo, 2009, p. 1). “Today about a half of all non-marital births are to a cohabiting couple; 15 years ago, only about a third were” (Leo, 2009, p. 1). “Cohabiters are ambivalent about marriage – just under half (44%) say they to want marry; a nearly equal portion (41%) say they aren’t sure” (Leo, 2009, p. 1). Being that the idea of traditional marriage is losing its popularity, what can be blamed for its declining status? Some will argue and say that media has a...

...Use of Social Media in Recruiting Think about the things you do when applying for a new job – anything from perfecting your cover letter and resume prior to applying to dressing nicely for the interview. You do everything you can to present the best version of yourself to the potential employer that you’ll be meeting with. But have you thought to prepare your social media accounts, too? With the rising usage of social media, “…it’s no surprise some recruiters and hiring managers are tuning in” (Smith) – but should it be used in the recruiting process? In Favor There are many pro’s to using social media when recruiting new talent – here I will discuss four points that you may not have considered before. First, social media allows the employer to see a more genuine version of the candidate, and that doesn’t always mean bringing light to negative attributes. A CareerBuilder survey found that 29% of surveyed hiring managers found something positive on a profile that drove them to offer the candidate a job (Smith). Websites like LinkedIn allow professionals to present their resume, showcase their interests and volunteer work, present more casual recommendations and endorsements that may not have a place in a resume, and show what professional organizations someone belongs to – all things that are important to understanding who a person is, but not things that will always come up in an interview. Second, social media gives employers the opportunity to target specific job...

Both individuals understand the hardship of starting out and making yourself marketable in the corporate world. Now that their eldest son is in college, and they have seen how hard it was for him to get summer jobs and student work studies, they want to make the path a bit easier for their younger children. Their hope is to start a small business that will eventually become a family affair. This business will help the community as well as allow their children to have summer work growing up and instill in them the entrepreneurial spirit. As part of working class America, Sherdon and Anissa do not have a lot of income at their disposal. They will be investing all of their savings into this business, therefore, proper planning is a must. The business that they have decided to open is an employment agency. After researching the industry, both feel as though there is a market for this service and that the time it will take to open the business is reasonable. Additionally, they believe that if they can use a line of credit, their initial investment will be low and their risk a bit lower compared to other industries...

...legal obligation to its customers to protect their private data. Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, prohibits deceptive and unfair trade practices. Under the FTC Act, businesses must handle consumer information in a way that is consistent with their promises to their customers such as what they say in their online privacy policy, and avoid data security practices that create an unreasonable risk of harm to consumer data. Other federal laws may affect a company’s data security requirements, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which applied to health data; the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which apply to student records; and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA), which applies to information maintained by state departments of motor vehicles. As concerns over identity theft and data security have increased, many states have passed laws or regulations to protect their citizens. In addition to complying with federal laws, businesses should look to state laws to make sure they are in compliance (Kappler 2007). The Federal Trade Commission Act has tried to develop a single basic standard for data security that strikes the balance between providing concrete guidance, and allowing flexibility for different businesses’ needs. The standard is straightforward: Companies must maintain reasonable procedures to protect sensitive information. Whether your security practices are reasonable will depend on the nature...

...The 30 year old secret: The investigative piece that we choose to analyze was about a well-admired and popular politician… called Neil Goldschmidt who had raped a young girl in the 1970s. The girl was fourteen years old, when Goldschmidt started to sexually abuse her. At that time, Goldschmidt was a 35 year old governor and mayor for the state of Oregon…needless to say, he was a public figure. However, little did the public know that he had a 9 month “affair” with a minor. This investigation of this case describes the hard ships the rape victim (known as susan) had to endure throughout her life whilst Goldschmidt himself was living a very comfortable and prosperous one. The articles explain how her abusive childhood led her to experience very little, if any happiness and when asked to explain the situations by psychologists and doctors, susan hands start to shake constantly, which is why she’s been prescribed medicine to control the seizures she so frequently experiences. To get a little taste of the kind of mental state susuan was in through out her early adulthood, a doctor who had dealt with rap and murder victims for the past 20 years said “"I have never seen a victim who was so completely psychologically and mentally, emotionally destroyed,""She will never be well again." This quote is from susans The woman, whom WW is calling Susan, suffers from physical and psychological ailments that have robbed her of health and happiness. She weighs little more than...

...III, and Samantha Jones Law 421 September 24, 2012 Karen Hutchins J.D. From a business perspective it is important to understand distinctions between procedural, substantive, criminal, civil, statutory and case laws. In this paper Learning Team D reviews the differences between the aforementioned types of laws, will provide an example of each, and will provide an example of a constitutional amendment designed to protect businesses and organizations. Each team member will also provide their thoughts on the course topics learned thus far and how those topics relate to each member’s respective business field. Procedural and Substantive Law Procedural law comprises the set of rules that govern the proceedings of the court in criminal lawsuits as well as civil and administrative proceedings. The court needs to conform to the standards setup by procedural law, while during the proceedings. These rules ensure fair and consistency in the “due process”. Substantive law is a statutory law that deals with the legal relationship between people or the people and the state. Therefore, substantive law defines the rights and duties of the people, but procedural law lays down the rules with the help of which they are enforced. (Diffen, 2012) Substantive law is an independent set of laws that decide the fate of a case. It can actually decide the fate of the under-trial, whether he or she wins or loses, and even the compensation amounts etc. Procedural laws on the other hand have...
