Abstract
The paper discusses how the extensive collection, sharing and exchange of information between online companies to create profiles of individuals has become a major concern for privacy advocates. The paper defines online profiling and looks at the three primary categories of privacy concerns and the three segments of consumers who hold different views on privacy. The paper examines the benefits and concerns and contends that consumers deserve better protection of their online privacy. The paper maintains that the solution for the above problems is to make opting-in mandatory for all online profiling. The paper shows how there is no need for businesses to violate privacy rights as they are currently doing by insisting on invasive online profiling practices.

From the Paper
"Online profiling may involve the collection of anonymous transactional data and it may also involve the merger of this click stream data with personally identifiable information such as name, address, telephone number, credit card number, social security number, email address, etc. (Sax, 1999) A click stream is the sequence of clicks or pages requested as a visitor explores a Web site. The click stream data collected may include information such as Web sites and Web pages visited, the time and duration of the visit, search terms typed in search engines' forms, and other queries, purchases, "click through" responses to advertisements, and the previous page visited (Mulligan, 1999)."

Abstract
The paper provides a summary of the conflict, the contentions of each party and the subsequent court decisions. The paper examines the U.S. Supreme Court's decision that the Oneida Nation had to pay the property tax on the land that they claimed had the status of Indian reservation land. The paper discusses how the guarantees set out in both U.S. federal and state laws in relation to reservation land would not apply in this case as the Indian Nation had sold the land willingly and then after 200 years repurchased the land in the free-market. The paper notes the interest of the researcher in this case.

"The Oneida Indian Nation of New York descends directly from the Oneida Indian Nation. The Oneida Nation's aboriginal homeland is stated to be formed by approximately six million acres in central New York State and owned land that stretch "...from Pennsylvania border to the St. Lawrence River and from Lake Ontario to the Adirondack foothills." (Grant, 2005) In the year of 1785 the Oneida Tribe sold 300,000 acres in the Treaty of Fort Herkimer to the State of New York. In the year of 1788, New York Sate and the Oneida Indian Nation entered into a treaty with the Oneidas releasing the lands they owned to the Sate of New York."

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of the Australian police force and its power to operate within the law. The paper reports that Police officers, under the 'Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000', have become public officials. The paper further reports a rise in the number of people seeking assistance with public nuisance offenses, which are mostly are based on trivial factual scenarios. The paper goes on to explain that these offenses are arising not because of complaints from other citizens, but because the person's conduct is being interpreted by police as 'likely to interfere' with other people's enjoyment of a public space.
Outline:
Police Control and Power as a Subject of Controversy
Other Nations Struggle with the Problem of Broadened Police Power
How are the Laws Enforced?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In other lands, the controversy over police powers has come up from time to time. Sometimes the public is quick to set matters straight and put only reasonable powers into the hands of the police. In most nations, police powers include licensing, inspection, zoning, safety regulations (which cover a lot of territory), quarantines, and working conditions as well as law enforcement under the realm of police enforcement. In short, police powers are the basis of a host of state regulatory statutes. "
"In the United States, citizens take a dim view of unbridled police powers. They were quite condemnatory of Samuel A. Alito, a young U.S. President Ronald Reagan administration lawyer, and Supreme Court nominee, who took an expansive view of government law-enforcement powers in many cases where he was called upon to balance the prerogatives of police and prosecutors with the rights of individuals, according to 400 pages of documents released in November of 2005 by the U.S. Justice Department. For instance, while working in the Office of Legal Counsel from 1985 to 1987, Alito wrote an opinion allowing the Internal Revenue Service to secretly record conversations with taxpayers who were under investigation.

Legalizing Marijuana, 2007.
A discussion regarding legalizing the drug, marijuana.

Abstract
This paper discusses the pros and cons of legalizing the drug, marijuana. The paper argues that it makes sense to decriminalize this relatively harmless drug. The paper further discusses the medicinal properties of marijuana.
From the Paper
"Enforcing the ban against marijuana in the U.S. costs the tax payers as much as $ 12 billion annually; it also diverts the energies of the law enforcing agencies that would be better served in fighting the spiraling crime rates in the country's cities. There have been nearly 6.5 million marijuana arrests in the United States since 1993, which far exceeds the total number of arrests for all violent crimes combined, including murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Apart from the 'direct' estimated cost of $ 12 billion that would be saved by legalizing marijuana, the government would also be able to collect a considerable amount of money by way of taxes. Moreover, de-criminalizing of the drug would eliminate much of the underground criminal network in the country that gives rise to numerous social problems such as spreading corruption and graft among the law enforcing agencies. The situation is similar to the one created in wake of "Prohibition" in the 1920s when a ban against alcohol had escalated crime to astronomical levels and deprived the government of much needed tax revenue."

The obesity rates for Latino/Hispanic and African-American children in Texas are among the highest in the nation. Being overweight not only increases the risk of developing high blood pressure but also increases the chance of developing type 2 diabetes, kidney problems and certain types of cancer. In answer to the problem of childhood obesity in the state of Texas, the Texas Department of Health, the American Heart Association's Texas Chapter and the Center of Health Promotion and Prevention Research at the University Texas Health Science Center at Houston implemented CATCH - or 'A Coordinated Approach to Child Health'."

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of two models of criminal justice and how they impact the United States. In addition, the paper explores the three styles of policing by James Q. Wilson and explains how they apply to the criminal justice system in America.
Outline:
Introduction
The Models
Crime Control Model
History
From the Paper
"There are many different styles of policing utilized today. In many instances the decision about which style to use depends on a combination of factors, including politics, population density, funding and law enforcement manpower. "
"According to James Q. Wilson's theory, policing can involve one of three styles. The first style is the legalistic style. In this style, laws and bills are passed that are used to insure the public's safety through their use in the criminal justice system. Whether it is a misdemeanor defendant going to court or a felon facing prison for the third time, the legalistic system provides methods to remand suspects to incarceration and keep them there for periods of time (Wilson, pp)."

This paper looks at the Good Samaritan Law and discusses its concept and implications to health care.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the implications of the Good Samaritan Law. The writer explains that such laws encourage individuals to come to the aid of those who need assistance during emergency situations without doubting if there are legal implications of their actions. The writer maintains that in general, Good Samaritan Laws are established to protect rescuers from civil liability when providing emergency care. This, in effect, motivates people to help others during emergency situation. The writer concludes that there are still precautionary measures and actions that everybody has to take when helping during emergency situations, especially when most of these situations are a matter of life and death.
From the Paper
"It should be noted that the scope and limitations of the Good Samaritan Law vary from each state. In West Virginia, the Good Samaritan Law applies to medical and non-medical trained people who render emergency care to the victim provided that he/she did not charge the victim and that it is rendered in good faith. In Pennsylvania, the law does not apply to non-medically trained individual who rendered emergency service. In the District of Columbia, individuals who do not have a medical license to assist during emergency is immune from civil liability if they handover the victim to a licensed medical person. Both the physician and the paramedic are not held liable during emergency situation unless it is proven that negligence in handling the victim was committed and that they charge the patient for their service. Although the scope and limitations of the law vary from each state, it is noted that the common variables in implementing this law include the absence of remuneration in rendering service during emergency situations, positive, good-faith effort for helping the victim, and promptness and propriety of actions while delivering the service. And because the provisions of the law differs for each state, it is imperative to know and to understand the coverage of Good Samaritan Law in each state to know if future actions will make a person liable to existing moral and civil laws."

Works Cited
AMERCO and Antitrust
U-Haul and Bankruptcy
From the Paper
" Every contract must contain certain elements to be considered valid. They are mutual assent, lawful objective, capacity of the parties to perform, consideration and appropriate form. The omission of any of these elements can render the contract invalid. AMERCO engages in numerous types of contracts with a number of different entities. They have contracts with realtors, suppliers, vendors, and repair persons to name a few. The nature and exact structure of each of these types of contracts will differ to reflect the nature of the agreement. Actual contracts between parties are not public information and the specifics are not often available to the public. "

Appeal Case, 2007.
This paper looks at a legal case in which a defendant appeals the verdict after being found guilty.
925 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 32.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer presents an examination of a case in which the defendant in the case is found guilty and appeals. The writer notes that the element used for appeal rests in the fact that an undercover officer visited the convicted felon after he was arrested and incarcerated for the charge and the prosecution used conversations that occurred during those visits to help convict the defendant. The writer points out that the undercover officer never identified himself as a cop during the visits and these visits were before the trial. The writer explains that this means that the officer questioned the defendant after arrest and after being represented by an attorney but before the trial, which infringed on the defendant's right to be represented during all questioning.
Outline:
Issue
Rule
Apply
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Once that arrest took place however and Bob was then indicted by the court system and the grand jury Bob was represented by an attorney of record. The law is very clear on the questioning of a person who is represented by an attorney. The issue surrounding the possible appeal of this case is the fact that Art did not at anytime identify himself as a cop during the visits to the jail following the indictment. There may also be some argument and merit to the fact that Art secretly taped the conversations that he had with Bob as in many states the taping of a conversation is illegal unless both parties are aware of the taping, however, there are some states, Tennessee for example, that allow taping if only one party is aware that the taping is occurring. Because the scenario does not discuss the state that this crime took place in it is wise to only argue the merit of Art visiting Bob and in that visit gathering information to use against him at his trial when he did not have an attorney present. At that point the argument is also valid that Art did not identify himself as a police officer thereby violating Bob's right to have counsel present during the visits or to even make the educated decision as to whether or not he wanted Art to visit him."

Legalizing Marijuana, 2007.
This paper discusses the use of marijuana and argues in favor of its legalization.
767 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 27.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that marijuana is one of the most common drugs available today. The writer points out that both the use and possession of marijuana are illegal, but the trade in this substance continues to flourish. This paper argues that law enforcement efforts to contain the marijuana trade are futile and wasteful. The writer maintains that this effort only serves to further tax jails and court systems that are already strained, whereas these resources could be allotted towards greater law enforcement, public safety programs, and medical research. The writer concludes that legalizing marijuana has tremendous social, financial and safety-related values for the general community and therefore the harsh laws against marijuana possession should be revised.
From the Paper
"In 2003 alone, state and federal courts processed an estimated one million marijuana convictions. This figure does not even include the marijuana convictions that are handled by lower or municipal courts. Failing to legalize the possession of marijuana therefore further taxes the corrections system and slows down the workings of judicial courts."
"The legalization of marijuana would also free up valuable law enforcement resources, so that police could address other, more dangerous crimes. In his analysis of the costs of enforcing marijuana laws, Harvard economist Jeffrey Miron estimates that the taxpayers spend $7.7 billion annually (Lazarus 2005). This figure could certainly be allotted towards other vital activities, such as the training and recruitment of more police officers. A recent FBI study, for example, notes that violent crime has increased 28 percent in 2005."

Francisco de Vitoria, 2006.
A discussion regarding Francisco de Vitoria and his influence and role in the history of the Catholic Church.
1,519 words (approx. 6.1 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 50.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the life of Francisco de Vitoria. According to the paper, Francisco de Vitoria was extremely influential in the Catholic Church as a jurist and for his "just war theory," which questioned the inhumane treatment of natives in North and South America after Columbus' discovery of the New World. The paper reports that as an educator, philosopher, and theologian, Francisco de Vitoria is known as the "father of international and natural law".
From the Paper
"While Vitoria's ideas did not always match Catholic philosophy, he consistently remained in favor with the Popes in power. They often asked for his guidance and ideas on thorny topics, from suicide to law governing the conquest of foreign lands. His biographer and translator, John P. Doyle notes, "Indeed, his favor with the emperor was an important factor in the positive reception of that condemnation and the adoption in 1542 of 'The New Laws of the Indies,' which has been called the 'most Christian code ever promulgated in a colonial situation'" (Doyle 13). Thus, while sometimes his theories did not match those of the Church, he still gained the respect and admiration of Church leaders, so much so that he was often consulted in theological and spiritual matters. In fact, Emperor Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor from 1519 to 1556 asked Vitoria to represent Spain at the Council of Trent that had been commissioned by Pope Paul VI in 1545. However, Vitoria could not attend the momentous Council, as he was in very poor health and died the following year."
