Dennis Walker Case Summary

David Walker was an abolitionist, orator, and author of David Walker's Appeal. Although David Walker's father, who died before his birth, was enslaved, his mother was a free woman; thus, when he was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, in September 1785, David Walker was also free, following the “condition” of his mother as prescribed by southern laws regulating slavery. Little is known about Walker's early life. He traveled widely in the South and probably spent time in Philadelphia. He developed early on an intense and abiding hatred of slavery, the result apparently of his travels and his firsthand knowledge of slavery.

In David Walker’s Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World the message that he wants to spread is abolitionism. However, his message is one that has been pushed a bit further than where the majority of the movement had been with in its overall goals. Considering that the abolitionist movement was considered drastic in the new views on ending slavery, Walker’s Appeal in comparison would seem even more so due to his sense of urgency and belief that peaceful means were not the way to achieve emancipation. According to him, it would never happen otherwise. While Walker does share some basic tenets with the mainstream abolition movement, he expresses his own ideas about what is actually required to live in a free nation, views that were most likely seen as too extreme and the solution unwelcome.

David Walker, the author of the pamphlet -Appeal- was a black man who was born around 1796-1797 in Wilmington, North Carolina. His father was a slave, whereas his mother was a free black woman. As the law at the time demanded, the child of a free woman was automatically a free man; however, Walker lifted the veil of injustice and tyranny that covered the blacks for so long who had became servile and mentally dead. Having being told to whip his own mother to her death was one of the life changing events that fashioned the man he became. After he grew, he moved over to Boston where he started a successful thrift store, having associated himself with various prominent black activists, he became a major spokesperson in the Freedom’s Journal by the end of 1828. By September 28th 1829 he published his Appeal, which comprised of a preamble and four articles namely; Our Wretchedness in Consequence of Slavery, Of Ignorance, Of the Preachers of the Religion of Jesus Christ, and Of Colonizing plan. The primary target was for the black communities that resided in the south, where slavery was of the worst condition. Walker was determined to wake up the black men and women of the society, who he believed had succumbed to the pitiful life of ignorance,

The case involved a 45-year-old gay male who was going through a divorce but was being seen for therapy for a past sexual assault. The divorce was long and messy and being dragged out by his partner’s attorney. His partner’s attorney had asked the client to sign a release of information to obtain files from the agency. The client signed the release of information unknowingly allowing the attorney to the clients entire file, case notes, therapy assessments. Unfortunately, the agency only had one generic release of information that the records department was in charge of.

The Civil War was a war that was fought in America between the years of 1861 and 1865. It included two sides, the North and South. Before the war started. there were many events that helped lead to this war. These events included the tensions growing between the North and South Side due to their different views on slavery. It also included the Dread Scott Decision and the Election of Abraham Lincoln.

The Supreme Court, part of the Judicial Branch, ruled 5-4 on the case of Walker - Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc in favor of John Walker, the representative of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles on a new license plate containing two Confederate flags.

The Dred Scott decision was a landmark Supreme Court decision on slavery in 1857. Dred Scott was a slave who sued for his freedom after living in Illinois and Wisconsin Territory where slavery was banned. Mr. Scott argued that he should be free since he had lived on free soil. The Supreme Court was to decide three questions: should a black person be considered a citizen and have the ability to sue in court, Did residence in a free state make Mr. Scott free? Did Congress possess the power to prohibit slavery in a territory? The Court was divided on these questions and each Justice issued an opinion. Chief Justice, Roger B. Taney, declared “that only white persons could be citizens”. He insisted that the founding fathers believed that

On June 23rd, 2013, students from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, met up at a local bar called The Tin Roof. The man, a promising football starter from the school named Brandon Vandenburg, and the victim, a woman who knew him from school, were drinking copious amounts of alcohol. Vandenburg had given her three to four drinks that night, and after the fourth one, a blue drink called a “California Long Island Iced Tea”, she remembered nothing. The next morning, she woke up in his dorm room with no recollection of the night before. Video evidence from the accused and their friends indicated that the four men had sexually assaulted the victim, using both a weapon (a water bottle) and their hands.

Stevenson gets close to the incarcerated people he is helping by getting to know all aspects of their life. In addition to reviewing the case on a professional level, he also forges a personal bond with that client and sometimes family members. Stevenson's would sometimes visit his clients and talk for hours and hours with them because he believes they're still human no matter how society labels them. By founding the Equal Justice initiative his only goal is to protect the rights of the people in prisons and not for any personal gain. Furthermore, Stevenson would take on many cases at a time sometimes not winning them all but it doesn't stop him from his quest to get justice.

The second probe concerned allegations of coordination between the Walker campaign and several pro-Walker political action committees during his recall election in 2012. After exhaustive legal battles at several levels of the state court system the Wisconsin Supreme Court, in a sweeping decision, ruled the Walker campaign had not violated any campaign finance laws. Importantly, a lower court had previously determined that no laws were violated even if Walker’s campaign and the groups had worked together.

Walker appreciates the dangers of the American/Soviet rivalry. He acknowledges its devastating impact on Europe as the “last and greatest of Europe’s civil wars.” Yet he also calls the Cold War a “in the end, a resilient and predictable system for the preservation of human civilization.” Unlike some recent commentators, he does not dismiss the Cold War as some kind of colossal mistake that one side or the other should have been prudent enough to avoid. The Soviet Union’s collapse, he argues, seems inevitable only in retrospect, and the West’s fears of Soviet tyranny and expansion were not unfounded. Throughout his study, Walker never loses sight of the fact that although the Soviet Union and the West represented opposing ideologies, they employed

Here, the both cases are relevant to our discussion about the rules of professional conduct and violation of attorney ethics because these cases involve attorneys who used substantial amount of preexisting documents in their briefs without providing proper citations. In addition, both cases raised the issue of unreasonable fees the attorneys had charged for their services. In the latter case, the court held that the defendant’s attorney violated the state rule of professional conduct and it ordered him to disgorge the fees. On the other hand, in the former case, it was determined that there was not enough evidence to prove that the attorney charged unreasonable fees. Further, the court noted that the attorney took various remedial actions to

It had been nearly two years since Austin Walker had been appointed CEO of what once was Wholesome Family Television (WFT), and the bankrupt, destitute company’s turnaround under Mr. Walker’s direction was truly remarkable. Within a month of Walker's arrival the ten-year institutional programming channel had been renamed to Creative Unlimited Television, their slogan becoming “a CUT above the rest,” and half of the current programming had been cancelled. Shows that had been running for half a decade or more were unceremoniously trashed, and replaced at first with reruns from whatever syndication deals CUT could afford at the time. Really, without the reputation of Austin Walker, no bank on Earth would have given the flailing network the loan it needed to survive another year. Even then, half of the banks passed on the risky “opportunity.” Many of those bank Presidents and CEOs would be fired a
