Per the FMLA, the employee is ordinarily entitled to return to the same shift or equivalent work schedule. In Hunt v. Rapids, the employee contended that the full-time nurse night shift position was not equivalent to the day shift position. The Medical Center contended that the positions were equivalent because the compensation and duties were the same. Hunt v. Rapids Healthcare Sys, 277 F.3d 762 (5th Cir. La. 2001). However, the court of appeals reversed the summary judgment in favor of the employer because it violated her substantive rights under the FMLA by failing to restore her to her previous or equivalent position when she returned from her leave. Id. at 772.

Neglecting construction regulations could risk losing a project, so adherence must be strict and the environment monitored for changes. Clients ultimately determine response to advocacy groups in their design choices, however advocacy can play a role in changing practices such as waste treatment. Clients may also be planning projects in the future. Regular inquiries may present opportunities, which are more likely to be offered when a client is left with a positive impression.

Facts: This is a Title VII action alleging harassment based on national origin and religion. The facts are set forth in the light most favorable to Rafiq. On May 11, 2001, Mohommed Rafiq was hired as a car salesman. Rafiq was born in India and is a practicing Muslim. The alleged harassment began on September 11, 2001. When he arrived for work that afternoon, his co-workers were watching news coverage of the terrorist attacks and one of them asked him in a mocking way, "Where have you been?", as if to infer that he had participated in the attacks.

In 1974, the Southeastern promotions, Ltd. V. Conrad case came to the Supreme Court. This came to the court because they believed it violated the First Amendment. The First Amendment protects freedom of religion, speech, press, petition and assembly. In Southeastern Promotions, Ltd. V. Conrad it was argued that Southeastern Promotions was stripped of their freedom of speech because they were denied the use of the Tivoli Theater in Chattanooga, Tennessee to put on the rock musical Hair. The Supreme Court had to uphold the First Amendment while still allowing the theater to keep their reputation of being a family establishment.

The Supreme Court case of Gibbons v. Ogden was one of the many cases dealing with the compelling issue of Federalism (the separation of power between the Federal Government and the states.)

In response to the botched Oklahoma execution of Charles Warner, the Glossip vs Gross court case, and the fact that Governor Nikki R. Haley called for the death penalty the defense team of Dylann Roof, who was accused of killing nine black people in a 2015 South Carolina church shooting, is challenging the death penalty’s constitutionality because the prosecutors declined his request to serve life in prison without parole. Roof’s defense team argues that nobody can be lawfully executed under the constitution no matter what crime they committed. Multiples Justices, including Stephen G. Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, stated that it might be time to review the death penalty to see if it is actually constitutional. Breyer also stated that the

In September of this year, the second circuit’s decision in Berman v Neo@Ogilvy LLC created a circuit split with the fifth circuit’s 2013 decision in Asadi v. G.E. Energy (USA), L.L.C. Specifically, the two circuits disagreed about whether a whistleblower must report externally to qualify for protection from employer retaliation under the Dodd-Frank Act. The dispute arises from a conflict between two subsections of Dodd-Frank’s whistleblower provisions, namely the definition section and subsection (iii) of the anti-retaliation provision.

If LEED v4 scoring cad is used for the rating of the building then William Village, the resident hall, might not be able to get the platinum rating and would lie in the range of the gold ratings. This is because all the factors that are accounted for rating and specific credit are kept very high and the building is not able to meet such high scores or
