The second trial I attended was a personal injury civil jury trial with Judge Carrier. This was a rather interesting case of Jennifer Wolfe VS D & W LLC. Within this case, Jennifer Wolfe attended a bachelorette party eight years ago with her now sister-in-law, who was the maid of honor. The story started out with everyone meeting at a house and the maid of honor was mad that the designated person to bring alcohol, forgot to bring the alcohol. The alcohol drank at this house was whatever was there, which was a few beers and a box of wine.
The violation of statutory provisions by a landlord can qualify as a proximate cause for injuries to tenants in the case the surrounding environment was insecure and there was clear knowledge of intrusions into the given residential area. Ten Associates v. McCutchen Fla. App., 398 So.2d 860 (Fla.App. Ct. 1981). The landlord was legally obligated to positively respond to the plight of the tenants as their lease agreement put him responsible for any required repairs within the common area. The tenants, including Parker, had made numerous attempts to inform him of increased frequency of intrusion due to a broken deadbolt lock that he was mandated, according to the provisions of the statute, to promptly repair.
In 1978, Larry Hicks was convicted on two counts of murder and was sentence to death. At 19 years old, Hicks was attending a local party at a neighbor’s apartment.

The court case of State of Nebraska v. Gary E. Heitman deals with the conviction of Heitman on charges of criminal conspiracy to commit first degree sexual assault on a minor. “Heitman contends that the evidence was insufficient to convict and that he was entrapped” (Heitman p.1) while the court concluded that “there was sufficient evidence to support the conviction” (Heitman p.1) and “further determined that the district court was not clearly wrong in finding that Heitman was predisposed to commit the crime and that thus, the district court was correct in rejecting his entrapment defense.” (Heitman p.1). I agree with the court’s rejection of the entrapment defense based upon things discussed in other entrapment cases and ideas brought up by
To be a considered a natural condition, it must remain its natural state—despite the movement or relocation. Norton v. Black, 469 P.2D 102. For example, in Norton, a young boy was injured while playing on a hedge that was planted by property owners. Id. 102. The court held that the hedge was natural.
Many critics, including myself, believe that the United States Supreme Court incorrectly decided the case of Michael H. vs. Gerald D. The case was argued on October 11th, 1988 and the Court decided their stance on June 15th, 1989. The court decided that a father related by blood to his child that was also seen as adulterous, does not have the constitutional rights to paternity over the father who is married to the mother of said child. Contradicting this stance, many critics have stated their opinions on the matter.

The main case when dealing with attempt offence is the Cawthorne v HM Advocate case. The facts of the case are as follows: the accused fired several shots into a room with four people in it; the shots were aimed low enough to strike one of the four persons; luckily no one was killed nor injured. Despite of not having killed anyone Mr Cawthorne was convicted of attempted murder. It was argued that the he had not attempted to kill anyone but solely scare them. He was convicted, despite of this, as he had displayed wicked recklessness which proved to be enough evidence for the mens rea – the mental intent to commit a crime, in this case – of attempted murder.
This case involves a possible violation of the First amendment by Kay Williams, a counselor at Greene County Tech primary school located in Paragould, Arkansas. Mrs. Williams decorated a bulletin board within the school with a nativity scene and included the phrase, “Happy Birthday Jesus.” According to an article written by Chad Miller of the Paragould Press (2011), the school received several complaints about the display. Miller (2011) further stated that Superintendent Jerry Noble contacted Donn Mixon, the schools attorney, who advised the school against leaving the display up. Steve Barnes writes in his article Controversy in Paragould (2011) that Mrs. Williams was at first told to take the bulletin board down.
In Robertson v. Norton Co., plaintiff brought breach-of-warranty and strict liability claims against the manufacturer and the distributer of a ceramic-composite grinding wheel on a heavy-duty power sander/grinder. 148 F.3d at 905–06. At trial, plaintiff’s ceramics expert testified that the manufacturer’s warnings were “‘completely inadequate’ because the warning label did not explain ‘improper use,’ a copy of the safety guide was not enclosed with each grinding wheel, and the warning label’s cross references were ineffective.” Id. at 907. The Eighth Circuit held that the trial court abused its discretion by allowing the ceramics expert to testify on warnings because he was not qualified to do so.

Social workers have several responsibilities. They have to provide service, justice, and dignity to a client. They have to possess integrity, competence, and patience. Social workers need to possess knowledge of human rights, and how to perform scientific inquiry. Social workers occasionally have cases in which problems ensue and a solution is not found within a certain time frame.
