As a follow-up to the practice exercises for citing statutes (refer to week 6 Discussion) that Chang provided for the LCA paralegals, you and Chang discuss the value of research practice. Chang mentions that case citations in Westlaw, e.g. in Negative Treatment, Citing References, and Notes of Decisions, offer readers information about opinions’ potential relevance by identifying their deciding courts. Chang asks you to prepare a new practice exercise that can be offered to the other paralegals for their review.
Instructions: Label each Part and number/letter of each response so it’s clear which question is being answered.
Part A
Read the following invented citations. You should be able to tell which court or category of courts produced the cited opinion by looking at the abbreviated reporter name and parenthetical information. These six choices are the ONLY acceptable answers for Questions 1 through 10.
The U.S. Supreme Court
A U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
A U.S. District Court
The Maryland Court of Appeals
The Maryland Court of Special Appeals
Other – none of the above
Again, don’t look up these in Westlaw – they are fictitious citations.

At the latest Lunch and Learn seminar for TLG consultants, Winnie begins the workshop with a discussion of the case of Warren Medical. Background Facts: Warren Medical contracted to purchase five cases of disinfectant from Clean for $100.00 per case. Clean and Warren Medical signed the written sales agreement, and it included all the necessary terms for a valid and enforceable contract. Clean timely delivered the disinfectant to Warren Medical. However, because Warren Medical’s employees were busy with other deliveries, they moved the disinfectants to a temporary garage storage facility. They did not inspect the goods before moving them.

Upon reading the following case study, utilize what you have learned in the chapter titled “What works in Juvenile Justice”. Based off of methods and approaches research supports, how should this situation have been handled? What negative outcomes are likely to result in the way in which it was handled?
A seventh grader in an Albuquerque middle school was clowning in class by making loud burps. His teacher reported this 13-year-old to a school-based police officer who searched the boy for drug possession. A school vice principal accused this youth of selling drugs to other students. The youth was asked to remove his shoes and pants and the officer searched his underwear. No drugs were found in this search, but the matter did not end there. The boy was moved to a juvenile detention center and later suspended for the rest of the school year. The boy was charged with interfering with the education process by threatening or inciting others to obstruct the valid mission or functions of the school. The public officials saw this relatively common benign school misbehavior as indicative of a society in moral decline. A U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the actions of the school and police officials since they “believed” that they had no other options.

Your response to the main question should be no less than 200-250 words double spaced, written using an introduction, body, conclusion, proper spelling, English, grammar, and you should reference and cite the text where you present factual information.

I DONT HAVE THE TEXTBOOK SO PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BID!!!!!!!!!!!!
Based on the Read items thus far, pick any disaster or major event (non-terror related) you wish that you can examine and Monday morning quarterback it based on risk as we have discussed and learned. You just graduated and have been hired to consult with a company that wants to know all about what you learned about the event you chose. How can they learn from other’s mistakes? What could have and should have been done differently? This will require you to look at the known facts and compare them to the process of risk analysis in an after-the-fact examination.

Understanding due process in the trial process is very complex and extends not only through the process of investigation and prosecution of the accused, but also to the sentencing and punishment phase of the system.
For this assignment, you will be required to select one of the three subsections of sentencing safeguards (bifurcation, proportionality, or cruel and unusual punishment) and create a PowerPoint presentation that outlines the evolution of this protection starting with the Constitution and tracking the case law that shapes the modern application of the safeguards in criminal procedure.
Imagine that you will be presenting this to an audience in a room with the presentation projected on the wall. Make sure that all your fonts are at least 28 points, and that you have reduced the amount of reading to a minimum. The notes section of the PowerPoint should contain your narrative that is essentially a script for the presentation.
Graphics should be used as needed and be professional. Use the availability on the slide wisely, and remember that you have someone in the third row trying to see what you have created, so choose a background that will provide a high contrast with the text.
It should be a minimum of 10 slides, but no more than 15 slides, not counting the title and references slides. The case law should be restricted only to US Supreme Court cases with rulings that deal with the sentencing safeguards from the lecture material.
Each slide must contain at least four bulleted items of information.
You must follow APA guidelines for the citation of your sources, both in-text and on your reference slide.
