Ingraham V. Bollinger Case Summary

284 Words2 Pages

Two cases that were more surprising to learn about than others were; the Ingraham v. Wright (1977) and Grutter v. Bollinger (2003). The Ingraham v. Wright (1977) case because of how the principal hurt the child and didn't have proof. The Grutter v. Bollinger case was surprising because I didn't know that you colleges be unexpected because of race in 2003. The cases that I most agree with ruling are; Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District (1969) and Kent v. United States (1966). I agree with the Tinker v. Des Moines (1969) case because she should be able to wear headbands and bracelets and simple things. I'm not saying you can wear anything and say anything but i'm saying that you should be able to wear the simple, appropriate things. I agree with the Kent v. United States (1966) case because if he can do adult crimes he should be able to pay the price. I think that if you do something that hurts other or taking what's not yours, you should pay the price for your actions. …show more content…

Winnebago County Social Services (1989) and Ingraham v. Wright (1977). I disagree with the Deshaney v. Winnebago County Social Services (1989) case because I think the judge should have did something to protect the child. They just let the father beat, bruise, and hospitalized the poor child. I disagree with the Ingraham v. Wright (1977) case because Supreme Court the the principle hit on the child under his will and bruise him to where he was out almost a whole week of school. I think this cruel and the Supreme Court should reopen the case

Goldberg And Wheeler Court Case Summary

331 Words | 2 Pages

The court cases Goldberg and Wheeler do not stand for the proposition that only welfare benefits for people in extreme circumstances are entitled to pre-termination hearings. However, this is one situation where cutting off benefits with little or no notice could affect the well-being of the family or person. Any programs that offer they type of assistance people rely on to survive could benefit from pre-termination hearings, not just the welfare program. Welfare is one of the main public assistance programs, although I think housing assistance and food stamps might fall into the welfare category, they are also in need of a pre-termination hearing. In the Goldberg and Wheeler cases, California and New York did not want to give anyone a hearing

Summary Of Clements V State

1178 Words | 5 Pages

Overview of Clements v. State The case of Clements v. State is an example of how the legal framework of stalking laws in Texas should be interpreted and the effectiveness of this law to ensure justice for the victims.

The decision of the Court of Appeals for the First District of Texas to uphold the conviction while disagreeing with some conclusions arrived at by the trial court proves that stalkers will not be allowed to slide through cracks in the legal system. The case, based on a sequence of events where the complainant, Jennifer Clements, was subject to psychological trauma accompanied by an imminent physical threat to her from Nathan Clement, her estranged husband, is a forthright condition of stalking which complies with the Statues of
