Antonin Scalia Law School Case Study

Throughout the course of this investigation, the following courthouse was researched to locate any all court documentation for Dennis Baker and Charlotte Baker, as the search was expanded to include Shawna Thornton’s affiliation with the Bakers’.

Ammar). It is clear from the Supreme Court's statements that the Sixth Amendment right to counsel, as enunciated in Massiah v. United States and United States v. Henry, does not extend to the pre-indictment period. The taped conversations at issue in defendant's motions all took place prior to defendant's January 24, 2006 federal indictment while defendant was incarcerated for state parole violations. Even though defendant faced charges in state court, because defendant had yet to be charged in a federal indictment, defendant's right to counsel had not yet attached with respect to the federal charges. The Court denies Henry’s argument for suppression based on the Sixth Amendment right to

BRENDA WELLS, Administrator of the Estate of DANNY J. WELLS, deceased, Plaintiff-Appellant, Cross-Appellee, v. VINCENNES UNIVERSITY, BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF VINCENNES UNIVERSITY and SCOTT K. FONCANNON, Special Administrator of the Estate of JAMES JERNIGAN, deceased, Defendants-Appellees, Cross-Appellants. PRIOR HISTORY: Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, Benton Division. No. 89 C 4265. James L. Foreman, Senior District Judge. The US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has jurisdiction over Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. OVERVIEW: The widow's husband died on October 3, 1987, while taking a ride in a plane that

The Eighth Circuit Court has raised an intriguing legal and controversial issue by ruling that the State of Arkansas could force death row prisoner, Charles Laverne Singleton, to take antiphychodic drugs to insure he was sane for execution. After research, I found that Singleton remained in the appeals process for twenty-four-and-a-half years because of the 1986, U.S. Supreme Court decision, Ford vs. Wainwright, that ruled execution of the insane is cruel and unusual punishment. The state authorities finally decided to treat the prison inmate based on the 1990, U.S. Supreme Court decision, Washington vs. Harper, that subjects prison inmates with serious mental illness to mandatory anti-psychotic drugs against his

1. How, if at all, can you distinguish Greber from other instances of payment for professional services? Suppose the percentage Dr. Greber paid to the physicians had not exceeded Medicare’s guideline? Would that payment still amount to prohibited remuneration in this court’s eyes?

In 1986, the 15th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Warren Burger, informed President Ronald Reagan of his decision to retire. Reagan’s first duty was to fill the role of Chief Justice, which he did by appointing justice William Rehnquist to Chief Justice. Now Reagan was tasked with nominating a justice to replace Burger’s seat in the Supreme Court. According to those who were involved in the decision, it came down to Robert Bork and Antonin Scalia. With Warren Burger leaving the Court, it meant that the Court would be balanced with four conservative justices and four liberal justices. This placed even more importance on Reagan’s decision to nominate a justice who would often times be making the deciding vote. Reagan needed to nominate a

The circumstances surrounding the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, age 79, has caused great skepticism from the public, a public that has many unanswered questions as to whether he was murdered or if he did indeed die of natural causes. On February 13, 2016 Antonin Scalia was found dead in a bed at a resort in Texas, the Cibolo Creek Ranch. This ranch is said to be a meeting place for a branch of the Bohemian Grove Society, the Order of Hubertus. Historically guests of this ranch include the rich and famous, celebrities and the influential.

Multiple groups of same sex couples sued their state agencies in four different states Ohio, Tennessee, Michigan, and Kentucky to challenge the constitutionality of those four states ‘ban on same sex marriage. The plaintiffs of each case argued that the states’ statues violated the Equal Protection Clause and their Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. One plaintiff group also brought up claims under the Civil Rights Act. The Trial court found in favor to all of the plaintiffs cases. The U.S. Court of Appeals reversed and held that the states’ ban on same sex marriage and refusal

Even though the Dred Scott and Korematsu cases stunted equality growth in America, there have been some accomplishments in equality. For example, before women were discriminated against because they were seen as unfit to do the laborious work of men. However, there have been some steps to increase gender equality. The United States v Virginia Supreme Court Case was a landmark case that stopped the all-male admission policy of Virginia Military Institute (VMI). The United States sued VMI because there was no equal education opportunity for women, and therefore violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. Instead of allowing women to be accepted, Virginia proposed the Virginia Women’s Institute for Leadership (VWIL). However, this

Scalia was a very good person to all who may have stepped foot in the Courts. Of the political debates and that is how he enjoyed his life. He worked with renowned cadets and had a grand old time. I think that he will live in infamy for life. In political world because, he is so cherished and outcomes of the moment. He says what he wants and is very polite. But on thing that no one expected to happen did. (Scalia’s death at age 79, the high court had been divided between the appointees of Democratic presidents, all fairly liable, and five Republican appointees, all relatively conservative).

The Marshall Court permanently changed a number of aspects in the United States Government. The Court affected the amount of power the Federal Government possessed, the government’s power over the economy, their role as the Federal Government, the concept of implied power, and the rights of American Indians. The Marshall Court system ultimately gave the Federal government, most notably the Judicial Branch of the government, a greater amount of power to sway the decisions of the states. The Judicial Branch of the government became assertive, pushing to make their judgment absolute, this removed power from the states. The Marshall Court allowed the Federal Government to create a powerful Judicial Branch that was capable of changing many aspects of the American court system and the rights of the states.

The trial court erred and abused its discretion in granting the State’s motion to admit evidence of prior uncharged incidents of domestic violence, because the evidence denied Mr. Davis of his rights to due process of law as guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, and Article I, Section 10 of the Missouri Constitution, in that the evidence was more prejudicial than probative because it was too remote in time to be relevant to the charged crimes and had a prejudicial effect.

The government argued that police have an interest in investigating, preventing, and punishing crime. Therefore, their interest outweighs the persons diminished expectation of privacy at the time of an lawful arrest. Another argument for the United States would be the safety of police officers and the safeguarding of destructible evidence, thus justifying the search of the areas within immediate control of arrestees.

When technology is malfunctioning, more often than not the solution does not rest on the surface. Wither you are scanning through lines of code or tinkering with hardware, the resolution to the problem can only be found through working from the inside outwards. I believe the same is true with social change. This was the philosophy of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall as well. Justice Marshall believed that societal change could come through working through the system, and his work is evidence of such. Each case Justice Marshall argued when he was a lawyer was a building block, every case a small piece of the puzzle coming together to make a complete picture. The cases of Justice Marshall changed the foundation of the United States as

Did you know James Madison was Americas smallest president he was was just 5’4 he was considered a shy president but he did a lot for this country. he wrote most of the federalists papers most of the U.S. constitution and all of the bill of rights. Marbury vs Madison was the first supreme court case to use judicial review.
