#Top ten US Supreme Court cases on criminal law

Home Criminal law Top ten US Supreme Court cases on criminal law

This is my list of the ten most significant US Supreme Court cases relating to criminal law. I think I’ve cited every case on this list in a brief or motion within the last few months, and any competent criminal attorney would know most of these cases offhand.

In Mapp v. Ohio, 367 US 643 (1961). the Supreme Court held that evidence could not be admitted in a criminal trial if it was obtained through an illegal search in violation of the Fourth Amendment. As the court explained in Mapp and since, they want to discourage police misconduct by preventing the state from using a violation of a suspect s rights to obtain evidence. Mapp is particularly important because it was the first case to apply the exclusionary rule in a state prosecution, and the overwhelming majority of convictions are in state court rather than federal court. ...

For many inventors, the grant of a patent application is quite exciting. However, once the inventor seeks to market their invention, they can find the process costly and overwhelming. Often when small companies or solo inventors develop new ideas that are later patented, they discover that manufacture or use of the patented invention is unmanageable for an entity of their size. Rather than sit on this technology and let the patent protection expire, these persons will seek to sell their patented idea to another person or company who can use them. Scattered among firms and investors who are attempting to acquire valuable patents for use in their own businesses are non-practicing entities, who have more litigious purposes in mind. Non-practicing entities, which are known colloquially as “patent trolls,” are entities that purchase patents solely for the purpose of enforcement of the patent rights. Patent troll ... Read more »

Definition of Law. Part 4 to blupete's Essay

Is it not my design, at this place, to show what stands as law; but, rather my aim is to develop ideas on what law is.6 Law is a "rule of conduct imposed by authority. The body of rules, whether proceeding from formal enactment or from custom, which a particular state or community recognizes as binding on its members or subjects." Upon considering this definition (OED), the first question that arises, is: "On whose authority?" Prior to the 18th century it was on the authority of a divinely appointed king; during the 18th and 19th centuries in England it was on the authority of the landed aristocracy;7 in the 20th century it has been the people, in fact, I submit, the politicians who "manage" to get themselves elected8 ; now, as we enter the 21st century, it's hard to say whose in charge, maybe no one, and maybe, that's the way it ought to be.

For a further development of these ideas, it will be necessary for a person to un ... Read more »

#Traffic Laws in China

Unfortunately, driving in China can be a risky business. The accident rate on Chinese roads is notorious, and expats may thus hesitate to hit the road. The InterNations guide tells you all about traffic conditions, legal aspects, and potential alternatives to driving in China.

How to Obtain a Chinese Driver’s License 

Driving with a foreign driver’s license is not allowed in China. This applies to an International Driving Permit as well.

If you plan on driving in China for more than three months, you must apply for a regular Chinese license. Otherwise, a temporary local driving permit may suffice.

The procedure for obtaining a Chinese driving permit may vary from province to province, but if you already have a valid driver’s license from your home country, it usually works like this.

#Tree house tests limits of Sullivan - s Island zoning laws - Post and Courier

Hal Coste measures the height of the tree house he built in his Sullivan s Island backyard. Wade Spees/Staff

SULLIVAN S ISLAND Hal Coste hopes to finish a tree house for his grandkids, but so far the town won t let him. In fact, the project may have to come down, he said.

He faces a possible $1,040 fine at an Aug. 3 municipal court hearing after being charged with violating a town order to stop work on the play house that he has been building in a backyard pecan tree.

The tree house is an accessory structure, zoning officials said, which by law can be up to 15-feet high. The 96-square-foot structure is 14 feet from floor to roof but the town measures height from the ground, which means the tree house is officially 30 feet tall because it is 16 feet from the ground to the floor of the tree house.

In addition to the height issue, Coste didn ... Read more »

Privacy Law in the USA

1. What is Privacy?

Privacy is the expectation that confidential personal information disclosed in a private place will not be disclosed to third parties, when that disclosure would cause either embarrassment or emotional distress to a person of reasonable sensitivities. Information is interpreted broadly to include facts, images (e.g. photographs, videotapes), and disparaging opinions.

The right of privacy is restricted to individuals who are in a place that a person would reasonably expect to be private (e.g. home, hotel room, telephone booth). There is no protection for information that either is a matter of public record or the victim voluntarily disclosed in a public place. People should be protected by privacy when they "believe that the conversation is private and can not be heard by others who are acting in an lawful manner." Am.Jur.2d Telecommun ... Read more »

Listening with both ears: the why and the how

The Why

When the average person reflects upon their communication skills, they often contemplate their ability to present ideas in a clear and cohesive fashion. Indeed, the capacity to be understood is necessary for successful interactions. Unfortunately, however, many fail to consider the critical importance of listening within the art of communication. It is important to understand how to effectively listen because it creates efficient interactions, provides the speaker with a sense of value, and enhances your understanding of concepts.

In the legal field it is necessary to work not only quickly, but also competently. Deadlines are constantly at your heels, and part of your value is how well you can keep up. Maintaining effective listening skills aids immensely in this regard because it saves time and ultimately reduces the chance for mistakes. ... Read more »

Administrative law is the body of law that allows for the creation of public regulatory agencies and contains all of the statutes, judicial decisions, and regulations that govern them. It is created by administrative agencies to implement their powers and duties in the form of rules, regulations, orders, and decisions. Administrative procedure constitutes the methods and processes before administrative agencies, as distinguished from judicial procedure, which applies to courts.

The Administrative Procedure Act (5U.S.C.A. 551 706 [Supp. 1993]) governs the practice and proceedings before federal administrative agencies. The procedural rules and regulations of most federal agencies are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

The fundamental challenge of administrative law is in designing a system of checks that will minimize the risks of bureaucratic arbitrariness and overreaching, while preserving for the agencies the flexibility that they nee ... Read more »

This essay is a terse survey of part of copyright law. The July 2005 edition of the United States Code Annotated, Title 17, which contains the complete U.S. statutes on copyright law, together with historical notes and one-sentence summaries of important court cases, has a length of 1681 pages, clearly too much to summarize in any short essay. For more detail, the mostly widely recognized treatise is Nimmer on Copyright, which is in 11 volumes.

#What Is The Law Of Attraction? And How To Use It Effectively

Simply put, the Law of Attraction is the ability to attract into our lives whatever we are focusing on. It is believed that regardless of age, nationality or religious belief, we are all susceptible to the laws which govern the Universe – one of which being the Law of Attraction. It is the Law of Attraction which uses the power of the mind to translate whatever is in our thoughts and materialize them into reality. In basic terms, all thoughts turn into things eventually. If you focus on negative doom and gloom you will remain under that cloud. If you focus on positive thoughts, and have goals that you aim to achieve you will find a way to achieve them with massive action.

This is why the universe is such an infinitely beautiful place, as the Law of Attraction dictates that whatever can be imagined and held in the mind’s eye is achievable if you take action on a plan to get to where you want to be.

Two trial lawyers take from the little guy to give to the Left, deep in the heart of Texas

By Jonathan M. Hanen, Foundation Watch. November (PDF to come)

Summary. A Texas power couple composed of two trial lawyers is pouring millions into politics to stop tort reform and turn Texas—and the rest of America—blue. The two give far less to their charitable foundation. In their most notorious case, they took almost half of the winnings in a huge lawsuit they filed on behalf of the “little guy.” As the losing insurance company began paying the fat legal fees, little guys all over Texas saw their premiums rise. Charity, in this case, begins and ends at home.
