Law Research Paper Ideas

October 20th, 2009 admin No comments

Law research paper ideas can be complicated in developing the right topic for your paper. Research papers require a lot of work and dedication to discovering information that is relevant to your sources and demonstrates strong thinking skills. The best ideas for law research may be anything from demonstrating the patterns in law changes related to the changes in society. For example, laws tend to reflect the society around them; however, the laws may change based on society or in response to a recognized need in society. Every research developed for law papers must demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the laws you wish to demonstrate or the particular coursework you are studying.

Additionally, consider strictly, what is directly related to courses and cases you have reviewed over the years of education. Every type of law and case you study is essential to making the necessary connections between the things you learn and the things you will have to understand after graduation. Every legal aspect has a great number of possible ideas, including a number of historical references that can be applied to successfully supporting your topic sentence. You can have the best research paper for your law assignment if you review the different coursework you have studied and apply the correct references and research. Read more…

Differences between US and Russian Constitutions

September 10th, 2009 admin No comments

Russia and the United States have a few similarities and differences that are, or are not, written directly into their constitutions. One of the main areas in which this can be seen are within each country’s version of civil liberties, rights, and duties. The first amendment of the United State’s constitution includes such provisions as the freedom of religion. This is represented within the 28th Article of the Russian Constitution. The main difference between these two articles can be seen in the U.S. constitution, it is stated within; “no law respecting an establishment of religion.” In the Russian’s Article 28 it is stated much more specifically as “freedom of conscience and freedom of religion […] or to profess none.” It also has Article 14 to ensure that the state is secular and all religious associations are kept separate from government. This difference has made for a bit of controversy in the U.S., as can be seen here in La Crosse and elsewhere in the country concerning the Ten Commandments on government property.

Article 29 in the Russian constitution states the equivalent of the United State’s freedom of speech. Again, the main difference is the wording. The Russian constitution is much more exact with its language. For example, it specifies thought and directly bans propaganda of social, racial, national, religious, or language supremacy. Article 29 section 2 is also another area not represented as explicitly in the United State’s constitution. Their version of freedom of the press is very similar, yet the Russian version is again more detailed in its wording. Read more…

Legalization of Marijuana Research Paper

September 3rd, 2009 admin No comments

The scent of marijuana enters the air as Chris Smith, a forty-three year-old woman from Trabuco Canyon, exhales a hit from her pipe. Smith has multiple sclerosis and credits smoking marijuana for relieving her muscle spasms and stopping the pain (Romney 1). Because Smith and many others like her smoke the drug for medicinal purposes, medical marijuana should be made legal in the United States. Many people in the United States are avid users of the drug because of pain or discomfort from pre-existing conditions. Dupont states that “marijuana, also spelled marihuana, is a drug made from the dried leaves and flowering tops of the hemp plant” (Dupont 201). The drug has many nicknames including grass, pot, weed, chronic and cannabis (Dupont 201).

Even though the drug has been available for thousands of years, it hasn’t been legal that long. Dupont says, “In the United States, marijuana use has been prohibited by state and local laws since the early 1900?s, and by federal law since 1937. In spite of these laws use of the drug became widespread during the 1960’s and 1970’s, especially among young people” (Dupont 201). The road to legal marijuana has been shortening over time though. Dupont states that “between 1969 and 1978, the federal government and many state governments reduced the criminal charge for possession of small amounts of marijuana from a felony to a misdemeanor” (Dupont 203). Certain states however went even further when they “substituted fines for jail sentences” (Dupont 204). But medical marijuana is not a legal drug in the US. Read more…

Employment Law Research Paper

August 26th, 2009 admin No comments

In the recent past, employees of large, stable firms and workers with valuable skills had reason to believe their jobs were secure as long as they adhered to company policies and performed satisfactorily. Many retired from their positions with sizable pensions accrued over many years with an employer. As surely as 401(k) plans have replaced company pensions, longevity has been traded for high turnover by both firms determined to stay competitive and workers seeking greater opportunity. However, when the economy weakens, workers become less willing to job-hop; security is much more important than new challenges. Businesses often react to a downturn by trimming nonessential people from the payroll – employee cost is often the largest controllable company expense and the first place budget cuts are made. Companies that claim “our people are our greatest asset” can save substantially by reducing their “greatest asset” and splitting up the workload among those remaining.

Though the previous generation seems to have enjoyed greater job security than the present one1, in fact jobs in the United States have never been what many Americans would consider “secure.” Many believed then and many now think they cannot be fired except for a good reason, including poor performance and stealing, but in reality ours is an “at-will” country. Though the economic rationale for company terminations cited above would be unpleasant but acceptable to a large number of workers – after all, the firm has to make money to pay its employees – such a good reason for termination is not at all necessary in most situations.

How a Bill Becomes a Law

August 10th, 2009 admin No comments

America is known as the country of freedom, but if we had no established laws, Americans would not be as prosperous as we are today. The process of making laws, known as the legislative process, is governed by rules, laws and procedures. Although the legislative process is long and complex, all laws begin as simple ideas. When a member of Congress has an idea for a new law they present it as a bill, which is the most common type of legislation. The path of a bill, from the time it is just an idea to the time it arrives at the President’s desk for approval, is paved with many detours. A bill must be passed through both houses of congress, the House of Representatives or the Senate, in identical form, before it can be made a law. This is achieved through a step-by-step process that begins in either house.

When a bill originates in the House of Representatives the idea is presented to a representative. The Representative decides whether or not they want to sponsor the bill and introduce it to the rest of the house. If the Representative decides not to sponsor the bill, he sets it aside and does nothing, which is known as tabling the bill. Eventually the bill is forgotten about and dies. If they choose to sponsor it, they present the bill to the Chief Clerk of the House. The chief assigns the bill a number to keep track of it through this process. Then the bill is sent to the U.S. Government Printing Office to make copies and is returned to the house. The copies are dispersed to the rest of the Representatives and the bill goes through its first reading. The speaker then assigns a committee to further review the bill. The committee will put the bill through public hearings and work sessions where revisions and additions can be made. If there are additions made to the bill, it is reprinted and includes the new amendments. After it is reviewed the Committee Chair signs it. The revised bill goes through a second reading, and finally a third reading before the house can vote on it. The bill must receive the majority of the houses votes to be passed on to the other house.

Megan’s Law in Australia

July 24th, 2009 admin No comments

John Lewthwaite is a man who had been charged and convicted for the murder of five-year-old Nicole Hann in 1974. Lewthwaite, who was nineteen at the time, had fantasised about abducting and raping Nicole’s then nine-year-old brother. Young Nicole awoke one afternoon as Lewthwaite broke into her home. He stabbed her seventeen times. Lewthwaite was released back into the community after serving twenty-five years of his prison sentence. The community he took residence in was fearful and outraged; their main concern was for the safety of their children.

Good morning/afternoon Miss Wiggins and girls. Ours is an increasingly dangerous society with increases in both the malevolency and the rate of crime. Part of the problem lies in abuse of our advancing technology and media inducing increase in tolerance of popular-cultural interests such as violent movies, music, video games influencing today’s youths to commit crimes we have never imagined. This generation is in need of limits and boundaries, legal guidelines that enable individuals to achieve social cohesion. We are a generation that lives in constant fear. The rate of child sex crimes is on the rise. Parents of young children now live in fear that their child may also fall a victim to sexual crime. In 1993 to 1994, there were 4392 children who were believed to have been involved in substantiated cases of child sex abuse whereby substantiated means there is reasonable cause to believe that the child has been or is being abused. One Australian study in 1988 estimated that twenty-eight percent of girls and nine percent of boys had been involved in some form of sexual abuse in Australia. Child abuse includes crimes such as child sexual assault, child sexual victimisation, child exploitation, child sexual misuse, child molestation, child sexual maltreatment and child rape. All of which are criminal offences listed under the Criminal Code of Queensland. These crimes pose serious threat to our society. Not only are children amongst the most vulnerable of groups in the community, they are also the next generation of adults. Statistics show that in most cases, convicted paedophiles were found likely to have been victims of sex crimes as children. Therefore more must be done now to break this vicious cycle of immorality.

This afternoon, in light of time constraints I will be focusing on one particular area of law related to child sex crimes that is in need of reform; the treatment of “rehabilitated” or “paroled” child sex criminals in relation to Megan’s law in the US and whether or not such legislation is appropriate for the Australian society.

How to Write a Good Law Research Paper

June 1st, 2009 admin No comments

Criminal law, civil law, administrative law, international law, ethical basis of law, historical background to law, and nearly any law related item can be used when writing a good Law research paper. Here in our discipline blogs we provide assistance by helping you get the information you need to write a great Law research paper or any paper you are working on from A-Z. What is the most important tip or trick we can give you?

First, when you do a Law research paper be sure to begin with background information on your topic – where, when, what, who, how, and why. Some examples of law topics to research could include Tariff Act of 1789, Cumberland Road Act, Beer and Wine Revenue Act, or international laws and treaties. When you prepare a good Law research paper, you have to start with where the law came from, why it is important, when the first example of the law was formed, whom the law is meant to protect, and how it is meant to protect or help. If the focus of your Law research paper is defined in other terms, you should integrate these concepts as single lines that define the laws you mention.

Closing statements and arguments are most important when you finish a Law research paper because you must be able to defend your reasoning. Laws always have two sides – some for and some against. While writing a Law research paper, write down key points and reasoning to be used in the conclusion.

Additionally, your format must be correct to avoid plagiarism whether your school uses APA, MLA, Turabian/Chicago style formatting you can find resources online to help you stay on track. Just like the conclusion, be sure to work on your formatting while you write to avoid missing in-text citations or references. The structure of your Law research paper will be very successful if you use an outline and a solid thesis statement. Finally, after your Law paper is complete, write a short abstract that introduces your reader to the paper they will enjoy.

Family Law

April 15th, 2009 admin No comments

A de-facto relationship is a relationship in which two people are co-habiting without being legally married and must be heterosexual to be recognised by the courts. This type of relationship increased greatly from 1971 to 1082 as people were not economically and physically willing to enter into a marriage. In 1984, a statutory basis was given to de-facto relationships with the passing of the De Facto Relationships Act 1984 NSW. This act provided a legal definition of De Facto relationships, eligibility criteria and protection of individuals on the breakdown of such a relationship. The issues dealt with by the Act include property rights, maintenance, care of children and inheritance. Property rights include: Under common law, a person in a de facto relationship has no right to property unless it was in that person’s name. Maintenance: there was no legal obligation to pay spousal maintenance. Even if one of the partners did not have a job and was looking after a child full time. Up until 1984 this was the case. Under The property (relations) act 1984 either partner of a de facto relationship can initiate legal proceedings requestion periodic maintenance against the other partner on a restricted basis. The court will force payment to the claiming party if they cannot support themselves adequately because of full time child rearing and lack of independence due to the relationship. Care of children: issues regarding children are handled in the same way as the children from marriages. Since the Family Reform Act 1995, decisions concerning children from de facto relationships are administered through the family law court regardless of whether the children are from a previous marriage. Inheritance: spouse and children may not be entitled to property upon the partner’s death. Unlike marriage there is no formal start or end to a de facto relationship.

Davies Vs Sparkes 1990 confirmed the common law definition of a de facto relationship.
A de facto relationship must be at least two years in duration for the law to operate and govern the associated parties of a de facto relationship effectively.

Domestic violence within a de facto relationship is treated the same as it would be treated in any other form of relationship, in the sense that it still has the same physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological repercussions. The existence of the Family Law Act 1975 does not and cannot extend to de facto spouses (constitutional defect). Accordingly, the family law court has no power to issue injunctions to restrain domestic violence within a de facto relationship. Conversely, the legal remedies against domestic violence in New South Wales have been extended and improved by the Crimes (domestic violence) Amendment Act 1982. This act applies to both married persons and people in de facto relationships. Despite this act, people in de facto relationships still do not have the same protection against domestic violence as people in marriages. Legal action to prevent domestic violence can be taken by applying for an AVO/ADVO (Apprehended domestic/ violence order), pressing criminal assault charges or by applying for an injunction.
