...Business Entities: Memo to Gloria Smithson LAWS 310 Professor TO: Gloria Smithson, Business Owner FROM: DATE: May 24, 2015 SUBJECT: Business Entities In today’s world, putting up one’s own business is better than becoming an employee considering that people can come up with various business ventures and ideas. However, not everyone who puts up their own business succeed primarily because of failure in identifying the correct business structure for their endeavor. To get the most out of a small business venture, it is crucial to choose the perfect structure that fits the type of business in order to maximize the potentials of the business, including maximizing financial and operational success. Therefore, identifying the appropriate business entity is necessary to guarantee the success of a business venture. Rules may vary depending on country, state, or province. The Scenario The husband and wife team of Joe and Gloria Smithson have come up with a new and more efficient widget that could help transform the energy industry from what it is today. Finding the confidence that they have already perfected the design, the husband and wife team created a prototype and designated a lawyer to file for design and utility patent applications. The next step therefore is registering the company and identifying the business entity type that would insulate her and her family from personal liability for debts of the business, or liability in the event of injury caused by the...

Consumer L. Rev. 310 (1998). Available at: http://lawecommons.luc.edu/lclr/vol10/iss4/6 This Case Note is brought to you for free and open access by LAW eCommons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Loyola Consumer Law Review by an authorized administrator of LAW eCommons. For more information, please contact cklink@luc.edu. CASE NOTES Courts split as to whether consumers injured by hot coffee can seek recovery by Zachary Rami Common sense, coffee and consumers clashed recently in McMahon v. Bunn-O-Matic,l wherein the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals held that a coffee maker manufacturer did not have a duty to warn consumers that its coffee would be served at 180 degrees, and that the coffee maker was not defectively designed. The decision, which affirmed a lower court's entry of summary judgment in favor of the coffee maker manufacturer, is consistent with a majority of courts, which have held in recent years that such claims leave no issue of material fact for trial.' However, not every jurisdiction has routinely dismissed these "coffee" cases. In fact, McMahon referred to Nadel v. Burger...

Whether a waiting period applies to you may depend on the date you entered Australia, the date you were granted a permanent visa, and whether you are a New Zealand citizen. If you have not lived in Australia as a permanent resident for a total of 104 weeks, you may be subject to a two year newly arrived resident’s waiting period for the following payments and concession cards: • Newstart Allowance • Austudy • Sickness Allowance • Pensioner Education Supplement • Youth Allowance • Mobility Allowance • Carer Payment • Commonwealth Seniors Health Card • Special Benefit • Health Care Card If you arrived in Australia or were granted permanent residence (whichever is the later) before 4 March 1997, you will not have to serve a two year waiting period. If you are an Australian citizen or you arrived in Australia before 4 March 1997 (or before 1 February 2000 if you are a New Zealand citizen - see below), and Centrelink decides that you have a newly arrived resident’s waiting period, contact a Welfare Rights Centre/Advocate for advice. □ Who is exempt from the newly arrived resident's two year waiting period? The newly arrived resident's waiting period may not apply to you if you: • hold or previously held a permanent refugee visa or a specified subclass of special humanitarian visa; • are a “family member”* of a holder or former holder of...

...Critical Thinking in the Legal Environment: Torts and Product Liability Fall 2009 Introduction This assignment focuses on management skills that would be utilized in critical thinking in the legal environment specifically related to torts and product liability. A manager is constantly challenged with balancing responsibilities to the shareholders to make a profitable business and protecting the best interests of the employees and customers or end users of their products/services. This is especially challenging in large geographically diverse organizations, such as a McDonalds or car dealerships, where having statistical descriptive data, clear understanding of the policies, up and down the organization, and ensuring no significant information is being omitted is critical to running the company and avoiding lawsuits. A manager must be able to effectively analyze and evaluate data to make informed, intelligent decisions in many different situations. They need to be able to evaluate the reasons, without biases, in order to make sound decisions for the organization, as well as their employees and customers. There are lessons learned from the cases reviewed this week for managers related to critical thinking based on the two cases that are the focus of this paper, Liebeck v. McDonald’s and Pearson v. Custom Cleaners. . Liebeck vs. McDonalds As a very controversial tort case, Liebeck vs. McDonalds was a closely followed by the news and legal community. This...

North Carolina, 564 U.S. 261, 131 S.Ct. 2394, 180 L.Ed.2d 310 (2011), the U.S. Supreme Court held that: “‘our history is replete with laws and judicial recognition’ that children cannot be viewed simply as miniature adults” and that “kids are different than adults” and are uniquely vulnerable to interrogation. In J.D.B., the thirteen year old juvenile who was in 7th grade was charged with breaking and entering as well as larceny. A digital camera, which was one of the items reported missing from one of the two homes that were broken into was found at J.D.B.’s school and seen in his possession during school hours. J.D.B. was taken out of class and was first questioned for thirty minutes without being given his Miranda Rights. His Miranda Warnings were then read to him thirty minutes later and he was told that he could refuse to answer questions...

Online consumer behavior is being tracked all over the world-wide-web via cookies, Flash cookies, and “Web beacons” such as Omniture. Ad networks utilize information collected via various Javascripts and/or cookies to dynamically create content for users. One such Ad network called BlueKai actually allows its users to see a visual representation of the data being collected and shared about them. The amount and variety of data contained in user cookies alone is simply staggering! Many consumers today are beginning to wonder whether or not their privacy is at risk. With that in mind, proposing a system that tracks online shopping behavior introduces quite a few risks. Legal Concerns Where PII (Personally Identifiable Information) is concerned, so is the law. When handling behavioral data of any kind, it must be stored securely. If any PII is collected, certain disclaimers, agreements, opt-out opportunities, etc. must be in place in order to refrain from attracting legal attention. Cookies must be handled delicately as well, especially if they utilized to track users on our shopping platform. When a user deletes his or her cookies, that user should become a new user on our network. Holding onto a user’s cookies against his or her wishes can be pursued in a court of law, where...

...breast cancer were the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States(Encyclopedia Brittanica, 2014). Lung cancer symptoms do not show themselves until the disease hits a more advanced stage of diagnosis and it is very hard to catch it unless you are looking for it. In most situations, Lung cancer is found when another routine examination is going on, this is what makes finding it early very difficult and why the scientific treatments tend to be more effective with it. Breast cancer on the other hand can be detected early with the proper screenings each year. It is the one cancer that with early intervention can have the most successful remission and the least amount of deaths. Breast cancer patients can also tend to lean more on the homeopathic and holistic form of treatment versus just the scientific because of how it can make the patient feel and their overall quality of life can be better. There are three main types of cancer treatments, Scientific, Homeopathic and Holistic (Mainehealth,2012).Whatever approach a patient decides to take, combining elements of each can help in the overall wellbeing of the patient and his or her quality of life. It really is up to the patient to do their research and decide what will be the best plan for them. The most common treatment being used is...

...seats in the Parliament. The election had been recorded as the highest voter turnout in Thai history. That means that the people of Thailand approved him democratically. And it’s the will of the people who decides that Thaksin is suitable for running the country. People are the voice and the absolute power of democracy. For those who observed the soldiers cold-blood murdered people on the streets of Bangkok, it may be tempting to assume the chaos is merely about different colored shirts and supporters of different political parties. But that is not the case. What we have been seeing in Thailand since late 2005 is a growing class war between the poor majority and the old elites. The military troops firing bullets and snipers on pro-democracy demonstrators in Bangkok aiming to protect the interests of the conservative elites who have run Thailand for the past 80 years. If you ask me why I’m red, if you ask me why I support Thaksin. It’s because I support democracy and looking for a true democratic rules and justice in this country. What had happened in 2006 was a military coup d’état in which the military has cancelled the thenupcoming elections, abrogated the Constitution, dissolved Parliament and Constitutional Court, banned protests and all political activities, declared martial law nationwide, arrested Cabinet members, and suppressed and censored the media....

...Medical Outsourcing Christina facing medical predicament Step 1: Identification Christina is a college graduate who has her bachelor’s degree in fine art but is currently an exotic dancer in order to save up money to one day open a photography studio. She is currently considering going overseas for an elective cosmetic medical procedure. The assigned question is, “What should Christine do?” I have identified the following ethical questions. 1. Does Christina really need cosmetic surgery? There is always a risk involved whether in the United States or overseas. Does Christina really think it is necessary for her to get cosmetic surgery and spend all that money? After all she does want to save enough money to start an art studio. 2. Is it right that Americans have to pay more than double on health care when the quality of health care in other countries is just as good as it is here? 3. Is it right that that hard working Americans do not have the freedom to go overseas to get cheaper medical procedures? While Christina is involved in a very non ethical line of work and is able to beat the system. 4. Is it right that struggling foreigners overseas cannot afford routine medical attention while Christina is able to come over there with money made from stripping and can get surgery a that is not needed? 5. Is it right that Christina should have to pay the extra 70 to 80% percent on a surgery when she has the job flexibility to go overseas and pay less for the same...

...Stem Cell Research Legislation and the Related Legal Issues LAWS 310, Legal Environment Course Project Week 6 October 4, 2011 “In the beginning there is the stem cell; it is the origin of an organism's life. It is a single cell that can give rise to progeny that differentiate into any of the specialized cells of embryonic or adult tissues.” STEWART SELL, Stem Cells Handbook Have you ever thought that humans would eventually see the day where we could cure the incurable? That there would be a solution to cancer, AIDS, and birth defects? A miracle among human beings is being researched and it is thanks to stem cell research. Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research (ESCR) is probably the most significant and compelling area of medical research today, whether in reality, or perception, or both. Stem cell research is used for investigation of basic cells which develop organisms. The cells are grown in laboratories where tests are carried out to investigate fundamental properties of the cells. Any step of advancement in this research can create a cure in the world of sickness in ways that were only imagined (Haydock, DeJesus, 2011). The use of stem cells could potentially cure diabetes, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, heart conditions, and more. The history of stem cell research has endured quite a journey. From being a breakthrough in science to being banned by the President, Embryonic Stem Cell Research has come a long way in the fight to be viewed as ethical and...
