The Supreme Court test of standing stated above on its second prong indicates that “there must be a causal connection between the injury and the conduct complained of — the injury has to be fairly ... trace[able] to the challenged action of the defendant, and not... th[e] result [of] the independent action of some third party not before the court.” This means that plaintiff must demonstrate that the injury is fairly traceable to the defendant’s unlawful conduct.

...Personal jurisdiction is an issue for those who post websites because it gives the courts jurisdiction in forum states the right to pursue legal action against them. To determine if the court has personal jurisdiction over a website the court must prove that the website has had continued contact with those brining on the suit in the forum state. If it is determined that such action has taken place then the court may proceed. This would bring great concern to website owners, as the reach of the Internet seems to be never ending, they could face legal proceedings in several different jurisdictions that they have had contact with customers in. This makes their business vulnerable to law suits and website owners apprehensive in their publications. To take a look at a website I studied my own website I have learned that my website would fall in that middle spectrum like so many others. I believe that it could be considered “interactive-passive”. My site allows people to get information, contact me via email to ask questions and possibly place orders via email making it interactive to a degree although placing actual orders online (adding items to a shopping cart) and making payments isn’t available. As stated by Wolf when describing the middle spectrum “a defendant operates an informational Web Site, but also allows a user to exchange information with the host computer by providing an e-mail address, a toll-free telephone number or other forms of activity that would enable...

...International Legal and Ethical Issues LAW/421 International Legal and Ethical Issues Addressing international and legal issues can bring about large implications for both companies. It is advisable to have a distinct contract drawn up to protect the rights of the companies especially when seeking technology licensing. Different legal and ethical issues arise when setting up international partnership. One should take into consideration the customs of the business they are trying to complete transactions with. As Melvin (2011) states: International law has traditionally been defined in very broad terms and not limited simply to rules that are applied to settle disputes in court. Rather, international law is influenced by a combination of law, religious tenets, and diplomatic relations between nations. (p. 262, para. 1) International organizations help to define the development of international law (Melvin, 2011, p. 634). These international organizations are structured through several areas of multinational representation which are regulated and created by treaties. Some of these areas are the well-known United Nations and the U.N. Commission on International Trade Law which devised the creation of the Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). This is generally the most popular among international organizations. However, each organization must also keep in consideration certain policies, such as one others political situation, cultural issues...

Both foreign and India companies are introducing new products and brands with glossy and fancy packing as the middle and lower income groups are taking loans to-Companies still do not pay attention to the quality of their products and also do not value customer satisfaction. Very often a customer may get taken in by a misleading advertisement making tall claim as to the high quality and after-sales service.

Companies are not willing to invest in efficient after-sales service so long as their sales keep increasing. Newspaper columns can be seen to be full of complaints and many companies do not care to rectify the complaints.

...their constitutional right to practice religion or prayer in any setting including public schools. Several issues that arise in the public schools are; saying God in the Pledge of Allegiance, vaccinations of students, and student led religious activities in the public school setting. These issues have led to many debates and court cases. Religion will be an ongoing controversy in public schools since there are different interpretations of the Constitutional Amendments. It is imperative for an administrator of the school to know and understand the laws, to stay neutral, and to seek legal advice when dealing with separation of church and state One of the most controversial issues in the United States and public schools is the use of the word God in the Pledge of Allegiance. This debate dates as far back at 1892 when Francis Bellamy wrote the pledge without the words “under god” (Russo, 2004). However, the Senate and the House of Representative have continued to support the use of “under god” in the pledge (Russo, 2004). According to Russo, Smith v. Denny (1968), was the first case to challenge the use of “under god” in the pledge. The supreme court supported the use of the words in the pledge stating that it did not violate the First Amendment’s religion clauses...

Foreigners are required to carry immigration papers, green cards, at all times. But natural born U.S. citizens are not required to carry papers proving citizenship. local police departments deny having policies that encourage the harassment of immigrants, but these attacks show how law-enforcement policies are not entirely respected by the officers. The enforcement program, Secure Communities, is sometimes considered a useless tool in bringing out dangerous foreign criminals, also gives full power to criminals and gives them power to commit abuse against our community. It also endangers any legal American who may be a victim of a crime witnessed by an immigrant/refugee...
