Title VII of the act states that it is illegal for employers, employment agencies, and labor unions to discriminate in respect to compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges in employment by hiring individual based on race, color, sex, religion, and national origin (Cheeseman, 2013). Discrimination was at the forefront of everyone’s mind during the 60s and 70s and many people believe that it has been eliminated it all together, but discrimination is still alive and thriving in our society in the work especially in the workplaces. The paper examines various scenarios of discrimination in workplace as they relate to Title VII reasoning. Scenario 1 Discrimination exists in this scenario because “disparate-impact discrimination occurs when an employer discriminates against an entire protected class.” (Cheeseman, 2013, para.6, p.546). He has a prima facie case of illegal discrimination. The black firefighter is in a protected class because of is race. The black firefighter was singled out to take his bed with him when he transferred from one fire station to next because the fire chief, who...

...Week 3: Case Study HCA642 Healthcare Policy, Law, and Ethics Issue The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the State of Missouri are seeking a preliminary injunction under section 13(b) of the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), 15 U.S.C. Section 53(b), which “authorizes the Commission to seek preliminary and permanent injunctions to remedy any provision of law enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. Under the first proviso of Section 13(b), whenever the Commission has ‘reason to believe’ that any party ‘is violating, or is about to violate’ a provision of law enforced by the Commission, the Commission may ask the district court to enjoin the allegedly unlawful conduct, pending completion of an FTC administrative proceeding to determine whether the conduct is unlawful. Further, under the second proviso of Section 13(b), ‘in proper cases’, the Commission may seek, and the court may grant, a permanent injunction” (www.ftc.gov). This particular injunction is meant to refrain the enjoining of the merger of two commercial hospitals in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. Lucy Lee Hospital wishes to purchase Doctors Regional Medical Center (DRMC). In this case, the plaintiffs, FTC and State of Missouri, argue that the proposed merger would considerably lessen the competition between other acute care hospitals in the Poplar Bluff area (https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case). The question stands: is the proposed merger between Lucy Lee Hospital and DRMC a violation of the Clayton Anti-Trust...

...HOW TO BRIEF A CASE [OR–WHY DIDN’T I CHOOSE TO GO TO MEDICAL SCHOOL] By Dana L. Blatt, Esq. You are just about to start law school. You buy all of your required casebooks [they are about two feet thick–only “slightly” intimidating], and you receive your first assignment. You are simply told, “read the first 100 pages in each book and BRIEF all of the cases!” O.K., you know how to read [hopefully], but what does it mean to “brief” a case? You have heard of “briefcases,” but that is something that you carry around. The last time you sang at a karaoke bar someone may have asked you to be “brief,” but instinctively you know that that is not the kind of brief that is being discussed here. And you may even be wearing “briefs.” But, what is a brief of a case? For that matter, what is a case? The purpose of this article is to teach exactly what briefs are, why they are important, and how to draft them. You will learn most of the various ways to brief a case, the basic elements of each brief, and how briefs are used in various contexts. Additionally, you will read sample cases and briefs of those cases in every format. By the time you finish reading this, you will be so sick of briefs, that you will wish this writing were much briefer! So, now let’s get down to business. What is a case? A “case” starts out as a lawsuit between two or more people. The parties to the lawsuit have a trial and one party wins while the other loses (or possibly there is no...

Land Acquisition – TWO or more people fighting over property A. Adverse possession: To constitute adverse possession, there must be actual possession which is uninterrupted, open and notorious, hostile and exclusive, and under a claim of right made in good faith for the statutory period. Possession for a statutory period of time can ripen into title. 1. Elements: COAH a. Actual Possession: Actual means that the possession must be such that the community would reasonably regard the adverse possessor as the owner; the possessor must show an actual entry that gives exclusive possession of the land and does not have the owner’s permission to be there. The possessor’s subjective state of mind is irrelevant. b. Uninterrupted: Continuity of possession may be established although the land is used regularly for only a certain period each year. It is not necessary that the occupant should be actually upon the premises continually. If the land is occupied during the period of time during the year it is capable of use, there is sufficient continuity. Thus, summer occupancy only of a summer beach home does not destroy the continuity of possession required. c. Open and Notorious: The acts of the adverse possessor are...

...Sandra Carlson Business Law 3321 421 U.S. 809 Bigelow v. Virginia Facts: Jeffrey C. Bigelow was the managing editor for The Virginia Weekly, a newspaper which was published in Charlottesville, Virginia. He was charged with violating Virginia law on May 13, 1971, after printing an advertisement for a New York City agency that helped women arrange for, finance and obtain abortions.
