Abstract
This paper reviews how Burroughs filed a motion for summary judgment and it was denied. The court, based on its reading of the motion for summary judgment, called for briefs from both sides related to the Court suspicion that Kirkland and Ellis, the attorneys for Burroughs, had violated Rule 11 by stating that the motion was based in existing law. The paper further discusses how, in fact, Kirkland and Ellis had originally stated that the motion was based in existing law and then altered their position in a later motion stating that the case was made based on an argument for extension modification or reversal of existing law.

Abstract
This paper outlines the E. H. Carr's theory in his book, "The Historian and His Facts", which argues that that a historical fact can never be a hard fact that can be taken at face value because it is really just a reflection of the historian?s thought process. The paper summarizes Carr's arguments, which support his theory, and cites the examples used by Carr, which add credibility to his views. The paper also reviews Carr's belief that hard historical facts can not exist independently and objectively of the historian because the view of the past is always colored by the present. Finally, the paper looks at how Durkheim's definition of social facts can both relate to and refute Carr's theory.
From the Paper
"Carr presents several logical and highly persuasive arguments in support of his argument. For instance, he submits that our picture of Greece in the fifth century B.C. is largely based by the documentation and picture left behind by a select group of people in Athens and to that extent is not truly representative since very little was recorded of the history of the Spartan or Corinthian civilizations. Similarly, he questions the current day picture of the medieval man as deeply concerned with religion since the facts of medieval history have almost all been selected by people who were professionally occupied in the theory and practice of religion and who, therefore, may have focused on recording all facts relating to it."

It then goes on to explain however that this can sometimes be problematic as the information can often be misleading. The paper also reviews two websites on cervical cancer and explains why one of thesites is valid and the other is not.
Outline:
Cervical Cancer: Googling for facts
A Valid Site: The American Cancer Society
An Invalid Site: Dr. Day's nutritional supplement, metabolic diet, and prayer-based therapy
From the Paper
"The American Cancer Society provides medically valid information about cancer, as well as information and statistics about various treatment, and various complications and side effects from the illness and conventional and alternative forms of treatment. It also explains risk and preventative measures that people who are worried about cancer can consider, when contemplating going for a screening. It establishes its credentials simply by the fact that its informative site is maintained by one of the most well-respected and well-known organizations devoted to cancer prevention, awareness, and support, and also because of its honesty about the difficulties incurred by some cancer therapies, such as the sterility frequently caused by radiation, and the fact that chemotherapy can trigger premature menopause."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper reveals that one earthquake is felt on our fragile planet every thirty seconds! The paper then describes how earthquakes happen, their costly and destructive results and how they are measured. The paper relates that while earthquakes cannot be predicted, it is possible for us to limit the damage and impact they have, by building structures using earthquake resistant designs and ensuring that the interiors of our buildings are safe from falling objects. The paper concludes that ultimately, what is important is to educate people about earthquake safety.
From the Paper
"One earthquake is felt on our fragile planet every thirty seconds. There is a 100% chance that somewhere, today, an earthquake is shaking the ground. We have no way of predicting how and when an earthquake will strike. We can only say that it might. No one can say for sure if the tremors that are felt will be enough to kill and wreak havoc. What we can be sure of is that earthquakes are perhaps the most powerful and destructive forces of nature. We should all know the facts and what if anything we can do to be prepared for such a catastrophe."

The Scott Peterson Case, 2005.
A look at how media coverage of the Scott Peterson case has less to do with the legal facts and issues and more to do with the drama and sensation of the case.

Abstract
This paper describes the media coverage of the Scott Peterson case. The case involves the murder of Scott Peterson's pregnant wife and unborn son, and this paper focuses on CNN's coverage, in particular, of the crime and how that coverage has become more like a narrative crime drama than a real look at the legal and ethical issues of the case.
From the Paper
"Instead, even CNN has resorted to creating a narrative crime drama of the Peterson case. For instance, in recounting the reactions of different members of Laci Peterson?s family, the media outlet quoted one family member that; ?Scott Peterson had seemed the perfect gentleman to his mother-in-law.? So, the article continues, ?she [the mother-in-law] said she grew worried when he began behaving strangely the moment? he first reported his wife, Laci, had vanished. Thus, with dramatic foreshadowing after the fact, it is reported uncritically, long after Scott Peterson has been accused that Laci's mother had concerns about accused son-in-law ?and worries only grew after daughter's disappearance,? the article continues. (June 8, 2004) "

Abstract
Medical malpractice is a topic which has gained considerable attention in recent years.

This paper provides the facts of the case and identifies the legal issues at stake. The paper also applies an analysis of the legal issues raised and offers a brief discussion of how the case should be decided. In the final analysis, although the facts of the case would seem to lend themselves to a fairly summary disposition of the matter, things are actually a little more complex than they might at first appear.

Abstract
This paper is written in response to the important decisions which were handed down by the Supreme Court in Brewer v. Williams, regarding the disappearance of ten year old Pamela Powers in Des Moines, Iowa. It presents an overview of the case, including the question which the Court was prompted to answer, the facts of the case and the rational the Court used in deciding the way in which it did. The paper looks at prior cases involving the right to counsel, as well as cases following the Brewer decision, and an argument as to why this case is of a significant benefit to American Law.
From the Paper
"In order to understand how the Court reached its ruling, it's important to understand some of the significant cases prior to Williams. In Massiah v. United States 377 U.S. 201 (1964) the Supreme Court ruled that once a suspect has been indicted and retains a lawyer, the police cannot (through any means) try to illicit incriminating statements from the suspect, in order to use at trial; thus, it was a direct violation of Massiah's Right to Counsel. In Miranda v. Arizona 384 U.S. 436 (1966) the Court held that if there is a determination that a suspect is deprived of movement in a significant way, and is also being interrogated, he must be informed of his rights prior to questioning."

From the Paper
"The relationship between Judiciary and Executive/Legislature in a country like India has always been contentious. The 57 years of the working of the Indian Constitution has more than once seen a supremacy tussle between the Judiciary and Executive on one hand and the Legislature on the other. One of the most inextricable reason of such a tussle has always been the Ninth Schedule which has more or less met its fate with the I.R.Coelho judgment. However, for a deeper and an unbiased understanding, it would be better to start from the history of the Ninth Schedule."

Abstract
This essay takes an ethical and moral look at a rather difficult case study, one that finds a loving elderly husband ending the years of dementia, pain, and suffering of his wife by shooting her in what would seem to be cold blood. The paper looks at four things: the facts of the case, extraneous circumstances, moral issues involved, and a proposed solution."
From the Paper
"This case study is based upon the provided case entitled "John the Husband." The facts of this case are rather straight forward. The husband in a marriage, in this case a 75-year old gentleman named John, shoots and kills his wife. The wife in question, Mary, has long suffered from the dementia brought on by Alzheimer's disease and has also suffered from the horrible degenerative bone condition, osteoporosis. The shooting occurs when the situation seems to come to a head, with Mary, who has previously displayed confused and inappropriate behavior, bursting in on a condo association meeting in which John is taking part. John calmly excuses them and takes Mary home, shooting her there."

Abstract
This paper discusses the famous Sacco-Venzetti case, and the bigotry inherent in the court system at the time. The author presents a balanced account of the facts of the case. He/she includes remarks made by the ruling judge in order to make the case that the trial was a miscarriage of justice.
From the Paper
"The United States was celebrating its victory in World War I, and a rampant anti-Communist sentiment was building within the country, culminating in the ?Red Scare? of 1919 and 1920. The American government began a campaign of repression against all elements it deemed subversive to democracy- anarchists, Communists, and any other radical groups (Ehrmann 34). J. Edgar Hoover?s career as director of General Intelligence in the Justice Department was begun during this time; his first test and responsibility was the case of Sacco and Vanzetti (44). Nicola Sacco, a shoe factory worker, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a fish peddler, were arrested, convicted, and executed in a miscarriage of justice; the actions of the state government were motivated by inherent prejudices of their heritage and political affiliations."
