...u01a1 – Case Law Analysis: Judicial Concepts Student: Beatriz T. Halbert Instructor: Professor Melvin Landry Quarter: Fall 2013 Course: BUS3021 I selected U.S. Supreme Court (Court) case Commonwealth v. Continental Casualty, 393 U.S. 145 (1968) for my case law analysis on judicial concepts. The Court heard arguments on October 22, 1968. Mr. Justice Black delivered the opinion of the Court on November 18, 1968. The petitioner, Commonwealth Coatings, sued Continental Casualty, on the prime contractor’s bond to recover money due for a painting job. The contract between the prime contractor and the subcontractor included an arbitration provision. The petitioner selected an arbitrator, the prime contractor selected another arbitrator, and the two arbitrators selected a third. The third arbitrator was an engineering consultant who had provided occasional services to the prime contractor over a four to five year period. The prime contractor paid approximately $12,000 in fees to the individual during the referenced period. The petitioner challenged the arbitration award on the basis that the prime contractor failed to disclose this relationship until after the award. The Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s refusal to set aside the award (Commonwealth Coatings, 1968). The Court held that arbitrators should disclose any dealings that might create the perception of bias. Since the prime contractor failed to disclose their relationship with the third arbitrator...

...Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States of America from March 1861 until he was assassinated in April of 1865. His face can be seen on the American penny as well as the five dollar bill. Lincoln also makes an appearance as one of the four famous American Presidents carved into the miraculous Mount Rushmore. In our opinion Abraham Lincoln was an extremely interesting and important individual because of his involvement in the Emancipation Proclamation, his assassination, and the many legends told of him such as the nickname, “Honest Abe.” Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Hardin, Kentucky to Thomas and Nancy Lincoln. Even though he lacked a thorough formal education, he was determined to make a difference nonetheless. One of his first political roles was in March of 1832 when he campaigned for the Illinois General Assembly. Although he had the popularity vote, he was not as strong in other aspects like in the way of money and education. This could have been the reason that he did not win the election. Later on in 1846 Lincoln was voted to serve a two-year term in the United States House of Representatives. He had many political roles leading up to the presidential election of 1860, by which he became the sixteenth president of the United States of America. Abraham Lincoln played an important role in the Battle of Fort Sumter during the American Civil War. Soon after Abraham Lincoln’s success in the presidential election of 1860, South...

...Imagine you were a slave working on a plantation. Just another normal day of pure agony, being treated like you are nothing but property with no feelings or thought process. You know if you step out of line you could be taken and beaten. Abraham Lincoln and Fredrick Douglass were both American heroes who contributed with their positive character traits. Lincoln was a leader, intelligent, and courageous. Fredrick was also a leader, brave and loyal. Fredrick Douglass’s contributed the most to the abolishment of slavery. To begin, Lincoln was known as “Honest Abe” during his lifetime and that name has lived on to this day. Lincoln suffered the extreme loss of losing his mother at a young age. He barely went to school but was determined...

September 15th The year is 20fucking80 and in less than 4 days I will be 18, all my shit years behind me; 2 more months of high school and I’m finally off to college. My high school years flew by, after winning the world tournament for chess my freshman year it’s like everyone suddenly needed to know me, not like they wanted to know me the first 14 years of my life, but now I was different since I was always on television and sponsoring the newest watch or the next coming up brand and how could I forget about all the new gadgets, basically what I’m saying is whoever was my friend got all the shit I didn’t want which to be honest was 90%. Because of my sudden fame I always had some sort of plans, one lame ass thing after another, shopping, movies, dinner, bowling, sleepovers and really all I wanted to do was spend some time with my crush, too bad she never even noticed me before. Sometimes I wish I was invisible to everyone like I was to her. Cynthia, hair that didn’t quite meet up the popular short standards of today, a bright blonde, almost white flowing like a waterfall as it falls off her shoulders as she walked passes me without even blinking. Her eyes were so blue you’d almost drowned in them if you gazed too long, always looking for an adventure it seemed. She was a shy girl the one most people over looked, like me before the incident. I just wish she’d...

...Abraham Lincoln should be inducted into the hall of fame because of many achievements during his lifetime. He is known as one of America’s greatest hero. Some of these achievements include being the Commander in chief during the Civil War, becoming the 16th President of the United States, and supporting the 13th amendment, which is the abolishment of slavery. Some historians say that the most lasting accomplishment by Lincoln is preserving of the Union. He had the ability to energize and mobilize the nation by appealing to its best ideals while acting "with malice towards none" in the pursuit of a more perfect, just, and enduring Union. Lincoln has also benefited the U.S. in many ways. He is the only president to hold a patent. The patent was...

...The general argument made by Stephen Jay Gould in his work, “The Creation Myths of Cooperstown”, is that people nearly fall for anything. More specifically, Gould argues that people just simply believe in anything that sounds reasonable to them instead of finding out the actual truth. He writes, “suckers are born every minute. The end result is the same: you can, Honest Abe notwithstanding, fool most of the people all of the time.” In this passage, Gould is suggesting that people would rather believe in “creation myths” instead of the reality. One person can easily mislead another person. In conclusion, Gould’s belief is that not everything is the way that it looks. It is the real story behind something that really matters. In my view, Gould...

...quality people liked was that he was a great listener. Lincoln dealt with a lot of conflicting opinions and behaviors and yet people were free to speak their mind on his views without the distress of retaliation. In the article Abe, The Recruiter, it states that Lincoln “could often sense the concerns of people opposed to his ideas” this proves that Lincoln really took into consideration people’s opinions and he paid attention to the people (Streeter 4). This quality was useful when he would listen to competing ideas, because then he would focus on what he was hearing and make a professional decision. Lincoln was also a master at communicating. He merged his dream for a free America with the significances of his citizens. Now, do not think this is an easy quality to have, because many executives struggle with this on a daily basis. Lincoln was a speaker of the people; he simplified his idea and presented it in a way that delivered his understanding of the people and supported his greater commitment. He speaks in a way that connects with the people and brings them into the fold and including them in your idea. Another important thing about his communicative skills is that he is passionate about the message he is delivering. I mean they didn’t call him Honest Abe for nothing! For example, when he was delivering the Gettysburg Address, he meant every word he was saying and you could tell he was digging deep and getting passionate. The last quality Abraham had was he was a master of his...

...archives.gov/exhibits/featured_documents/emancipation_proclamation/transcript.html 6.) According to your textbook, “Most recent polls of American historians have rated Lincoln the »greatest« president in history” (165). In your own view, is this statement justified and why I am not certain if Abraham Lincoln was the “greatest” president in history. I believe he may have been an honest man, when he was a lawyer. He was a brave to take on the issue of freeing the slaves. He certainly led the way for the slaves in our history. President Lincoln may have gone about freeing the slaves in a less than desirable way for a president to do things. By forcing the Southern states to, “stay” may have been a direct violation of the United States Constitution (Goodwin). When President Lincoln, ended slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation, it did not apply to all the states but rather, the south. People in the south did not recognize him as President. He also exempted border states with slaves, and I thought it may have been biased (Goodwin). I have heard over the years President Lincoln was known as “honest Abe.” Perhaps that may have been true, when he was working cases as a lawyer and in business. He did not want to take any law cases that he would compromise his integrity by telling a lie. The way he went about the freedom of slaves, might have included some violations. I am glad he was able to help the slaves and pave a way for them to freedom. He was a great thinker and a good lawyer...

...President- (n.) The highest executive officer of a republic… The president of the United States should be someone who embodies its people’s ideals. They should lead in an honest, fair way and represent us wholeheartedly. Hillary Clinton would not be a fitting president as she is a hypocrite, a writer of her own rules, and a blatant liar. To begin, Hillary Clinton is the world’s biggest hypocrite. She publicly says one thing, and then she turns around and does the exact opposite. Mrs. Clinton has formally announced, multiple times, her devotion to women’s rights and abolishing the gender wage gap. It seems like an innocent claim. However, the Daily Caller did some digging in her public IRS filings. It turns out that male executives make about...
