Hong Kong Dear Dr. Liao, I am Pan Yi, a Year Two undergraduate Economics and Finance major student living in New College for 2 years. I am writing this letter to appeal my unsuccessful readmission result. This appeal letter aims to provide justifications to why I believe I am a strong applicant who deserves readmission for the coming year and why I sincerely hope the management team will reconsider my case. This is to let you know that HKU has selected me for a summer exchange programme in the US, which means I have to leave on 25 May, and come back around 23 August. If my application is dismissed without strong justified reasons, I will be homeless when I come back. At that time, it would be rather hard and difficult, even impossible for me to rent a flat before the new semester starts within a week, and I have no place to stay during that period as well.
Because most of the rents and contracts start from June, and I will not be in Hong
Kong, it is impossible for me to find a flat now and I am not financially capable to rent a house on my own. If you ask me why haven’t I started looking for a house earlier, that’s because I was really confident that due to my devotion to New
College I will be given an opportunity to stay back and keep on contributing to a place that is not just a place for me to stay but a place which I call ‘home’.
Moreover, the readmission result was released on 17th of May, thus I think it is practically impossible to find a place in a week or so especially during the exam period. This is my second year in New College. Our warden mentioned that the college expects the senior residents to not only participate but show leadership which I believe I have shown. As I have mentioned in my application the activities that I participated in which includes being an active member of the composting team, music club etc. as well joining seminars, lectures, field trips and so on. I have also demonstrated leadership, commitment and devotion to New College in the current academic year based on the expectation and assumption that New
College is and will be worth my efforts. As a senior resident, I have communicated with my fellow students and provided my honest experience and suggestions in certain activities or in person. Not only did I participated in activities but I also helped out and organized several events. For example, I was a helper during the orientation at the start of the academic year. Besides that, I was one of the founding captains of the tennis club. Also, my floor mates and I organized the super food workshop again this year, which was held successfully last year as well. Other than that I was a committee member of the shake it off program and instructed the taekwondo sessions every week. The participation in

that program was actually very low, but if there were very few participants or even no participants I stayed and promoted at the venue throughout the session time and I did that for the whole semester 1. I tried my best to make this program successful and I believe this shows my commitment to New College.
Because I spent a great amount of time on this program, hence even though I participated in some ‘sustainability’ related activities which I have mentioned in my application, I still think it may not be enough compared to other residents. As we know that our college theme is “sustainability” and doing more activities relate to sustainability should definitely give a higher chances of readmission.
But I really didn’t participate or organize activities only for readmission, rather I tried to encourage residents towards other activities as well so that their learning and experience is not limited and is more well­rounded. Along with that I have very good relations with my floor mates and I also believe my peer review was good. We have had several floor dinners and we even organized the food workshop together. My interview went well and the interviewers didn’t mention anything negative regarding peer review or anything else, but instead asked me positively what I will do in the next year. So I really don’t know why my application was unsuccessful. I do understand and acknowledge that the limit quotas of readmission and the importance of admitting new residents and providing the equal living opportunities to all HKU students. But I believe residential places are offered to students like me who are in urgent and sincere need of it. Thank you for reading the letter and considering my appeal. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Sincerely yours,
Pan Yi (Yvette)

Vaginitis Appeal Letter

...bleeding, or other discomforts I had each listed. While in the beginning of Milestone three or week three of my last classes on 11/04/16 I had a doctor’s appointment with my nurse practitioner and was diagnosed with Vaginitis, Severe Urinary Track Infection, and Vulvovaginitis. Just dealing with one at a time proves to be a challenge but all three was a lot of pain to handle. Unfortunately this made it hard to do homework and turn in on time. Thankfully I received the proper medication and antibiotics to treat my condition, I have a medication list for proof. I had been dealing with that condition somewhere from mid to late September. That being said for the entirety of those classes I was infected and still finished both classes with a C letter grade. However, My Urinary Tract Infection has been completely resolved and my Vaginitis and Vulvovaginitis are now much more bearable. None of these will affect my future moving forward with the Art Institutes. I plan to file for part time at work so I can devote the majority of my time to focus on my studies and become a star student and far surpass my 1.99 GPA that stands at the moment. I understand I was .01 away from having my academic dismissal reversed and it was a bit of a heartbreak to come that close. I will remain optimistic and hope you see that I want to work hard and prove to you that I can handle any work given to me in my classes moving forward.

(APS), won in this appeals case on 3 of the 5 issues in this case. The appeals court reversed the trial court’s judgment awarding damages to AAPS, and rendered judgment that APS take nothing against SAVA. The appeals court reversed the trial court's judgment refusing to award SAVA attorneys' fees and awarding APS attorneys' fees and expenses under the declaratory judgment act and remanded the issue of whether to award attorneys’ fees to the trial court for further proceedings. On all other issues the appeals court affirmed the trial court’s judgment. 2. Why did that person win? On the issue of the trial court's conclusion that the alleged failure of APS's resin coating products was not a material breach of the Equipment Agreement between SAVA and APS.  APS won as neither the Company Formation Agreement nor the Equipment Agreement between SAVA and APS contained a warranty of the performance of the resin coating products.

Appeals Process

...APPEALS PROCESS KENNETH SPAULDING CJS/220 UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX MAY 7 2015 APPEALS PROCESS An appeal is a right you usually have after a final decision of a court or government agency.  If you don’t agree with the decision of the court or agency, you can have the decision reviewed by a higher court or agency, and sometimes a court can review an agency’s decision.  Almost all appeals have to be filed in writing.  All appeals have to be filed within a certain time, called the appeal period.  Sometimes you have to post an appeal bond, of cash or property, within a certain time, to appeal from a lower court to a higher court. A typical appeal in a criminal case is from a conviction following a trial. The defendant will allege to the appellate court that one or more errors occurred in the trial or the process leading up to trial that rendered the trial fundamentally unfair or unconstitutional. The appellate courts determine whether searches and seizures, interrogation practices, and trial procedures are constitutional or not. Thus, the appellate decisions directly affect future conduct by police, prosecutors, and trial judges. Many people complain that defendant are procedurally precluded from raising certain issues on appeal because their lawyer did not object at trial or their appellate attorney did not raise the issue on the initial appeal, and that these procedural bars result in the continued incarceration of people who did not receive a fair trial and possibly even...

Unfair Dismissal Advice

...Dear Siphokazi I write regarding your request for advice on your recent dismissal from the financial firm you’ve worked for the past 6 years. Dismissal is the employer’s termination a contract of employment and whilst dismissals are not uncommon practice in organisations, circumstances where one feels injustices have occurred, have grounds for an appeal through external systems (Bendix, Sonia, 2010). Most dismissal appeal cases aim to result in reinstatement, but seeing as you have interests in receiving compensation, and having the injustices of your dismissal corrected, below I shall outline steps you can take to achieve this through the CCMA or Labour Court. The two options I explains have differing weightings on their likelihood to produce justice (ie. Probable ruling in your favour) and their degree of compensation. I shall end off by advising you based on these weightings. To start the appeal process for any of the options I will suggest, you will need to send a written referral to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA), seeing as financial institutions do not have a bargaining council of their own (Bendix, Sonia, 2010. This should be done within the 30 days from the date you were informed or given notice of dismissal, which in your case is probably when you received the outcome of your disciplinary hearing. You can find the prescribed form for referrals through this link, which once completed, should be copied for delivery to your employer...

Kutas 542 .2d 527 (9TH Cir.1976) Parties: United States, Plaintiff- Appellee Eva Agnes Kutas, Defendant- Appellant Facts: Defendant was convicted in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, Otto R. Skopil, Jr., J., of harboring and concealing, and of conspiracy to harbor and conceal, an escaped federal prisoner, and she appealed. The Court of Appeals, Duniway, Circuit Judge, held that the evidence was sufficient to support defendant's conviction, that certain testimony did not constitute improper hearsay, that jury instructions were proper, and that defendant was not prejudiced by the fact that her attorney also represented a coconspirator.

Prior Proceeding: The court instructed the jury as follows: The words “harbor” and “conceal” refer to any physical act of providing assistance, including food, shelter, and other assistance to aid the prisoner in avoiding detection and apprehension. *529 In light of the interpretation given to “harbor and conceal” in United States v.

Such advice can be obtained from the numerous legal firms in the country or from the various Legal Aid Centres.

Target Recruiting Case

...1. What are the legal issues in this case? What did the appeals court decide? The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) stated that Target had disobeyed Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when they did not properly store employee records pertinent to the ruling of illegal employment actions were being, or ever were, happening. The EEOC also went on to state that Target was indeed participating in unlawful discrimination of applicants that were African American, for higher managerial positions. The case was ousted by the District Court. 2. What are the obligations of an employer regarding the retention of records related to recruiting? What problems does the court identify with Target’s record retention practices? Under Title VII, it is mandatory for employers to prepare and proper store any documentation that may determine if there is anything unlawful in their practices. In other words, it is the responsibility of the employer to retain any applicant’s hiring paperwork. From the time of the charge, to the closing of the case, the court found that Target’s system does not have any provisions that hold documents pertaining to the case. 3....
