Dred Scott was an enslaved African American from Southampton, Virginia. Virginia at that time was a slave state. In 1843, Dred Scott traveled with his owner, John Emerson, who was an army surgeon, from a slave sate to Missouri. When John Emerson died in a slave state, Scott and his wife decided to sue to win their freedom in St. Louis federal Court. Because of his race, Dred Scott was denied to sue because he was stateless. The court case was argued on February 11-17th, 1856 and then reargued in December 15-17th. The case was then decided on March 6th, 1857 in the Missouri territory. The reasoning given by the Supreme Court for making their decision was that, enslaved African race were not intended to be included in the constitution, his racial background, and because slaves were considered as properties.

Slavery was at the root of the case of Dred Scott v. Sandford. Dred Scott sued his master to obtain freedom for himself and his family. His argument was that he had lived in a territory where slavery was illegal; therefore he should be considered a free man. Dred Scott was born a slave in Virginia around 1800. Scott and his family were slaves owned by Peter Blow and his family. He moved to St. Louis with them in 1830 and was sold to John Emerson, a military doctor. They went to Illinois and the Wisconsin territory where the Missouri Compromise of 1820 prohibited slavery. Dred Scott married and had two
Social host liability laws are enacted to hold hosts accountable for any alcohol related injuries that were the result of the host serving alcohol to minors (under the age of 21 for this discussion) or adults. Presently, the State of Setonia has no formalized common-law duty addressing social host liability. In light case recently heard in the Setonia Court where a clearly intoxicated driver struck a pedestrian after departing a social gathering, it was questioned if Setonia should seek to formulate a common-law duty for social host to prevent guests from departing a social gathering and driving while intoxicated, impaired, or under the influence of alcohol. Two court decisions, with markedly opposed decisions, from Delaware (Shea v. Matassa, 2007) and North Carolina (Hart v. Ivey, 1992), were reviewed in anticipation of the potential formulation of a common-law duty of a social host to prevent guests from departing a social gathering and driving while intoxicated, impaired or under the influence of alcohol.
Some federal statutes address fraud in government health care programs, and many of these laws vary considerably (Krause 2004). Some of these laws specifically target health care fraud. Example of the laws that the government direct at inappropriate health care activities includes the “Medicare and Medicaid Anti-Kickback Statute and Ethics in Patient Referrals Act (EPRA).”
In 1984, the American government raised the minimum national drinking age from 18 to 21 as a method to reduce the number of car crashes and deaths caused by underage drunk drivers. The government placed the minimum drinking age law in the Federal Aid Highway Act, and by doing that states were not technically required to keep their minimum drinking age at 21. Given the fact that the law was a part of the Highway Act, if a state wanted to establish a different minimum drinking age, they would be required to surrender ten percent of their highway funds (Messamore). In 1987, after the act was passed, South Dakota challenged the law by changing their minimum drinking age to 19 and were brought to court in the case South Dakota vs. Dole. The court used the 27th amendment, which limits government spending power, to achieve their federal objectives. In a 7-2 decision, it was decided that Congress was able to use financial penalties on states that did not comply with the law (South Dakota v. Dole). Different federal, state and local laws help to decide alcohol 's "role" in our country. The different governments worked together to decide what laws would be put in place regarding manufacturing alcohol, selling alcohol, who can drink, and any responses to alcohol-related problems (Alcohol Policy). The brain is not fully developed until age 25 and alcohol can affect the hippocampus, a part of the brain that plays an important role in the formation of new memories. Several people may
One of the reasons why I am pursuing a law degree is to fight against the perpetuated injustices in my community back home in Kenya, and those that occur globally. I believe that Berkeley Law is the best school to train me on how to tackle social injustice and public interest advocacy, especially due to its great public interest and international law reputation, which allows students to receive an experimental learning experience by getting involved in Berkeley Law’s sponsored clinics. If accepted, I would love to get involved in the International Human rights Law clinic, Policy Advocacy clinic, and the East Bay Community clinic.

He appeared to be just fine on the outside, but to those who knew the doctor while, he was suffering. Law hadn’t expected to lose S/O so quickly and suddenly. The worst part is that he couldn’t even find S/O’s body or their killer. He wanted to avenge them, not for their sake but for his. The captain wasn’t sure if he could continue with his goals until he brought the killer on their knees and chopped off their head. His crew had looked over the whole entire island over and over but they couldn’t find anything. And soon, they had to leave to move on. Law sat in his room, his dark eyes glued to the wall because if he looked around the room he would see something that once belonged to S/O. He wished it wasn’t so painful. Law had no one to blame
