    Hranicka Vs Chesapeake Surgical

    [We] have aptly summarized this quest, based on [the Court of Appeals’] past decisions, as one that requires an examination of the statutory text in context, a review of legislative history to confirm conclusions or resolve questions from that examination, and a consideration of the consequences of alternative readings. “Text is the plain language of the relevant provision, typically given its ordinary meaning, viewed in context, considered in light of the whole statute, and generally evaluated for ambiguity. Legislative purpose, either apparent from the text or gathered from external sources, often informs, if not controls, our reading of the statute. An examination of interpretive consequences, either as a comparison of the results of each proffered construction, or as a principle of avoidance of an absurd or unreasonable reading, grounds the court’s interpretation in reality.” Town of Oxford v. Koste, 204 Md. App. 578, 585–86, 42 A.3d 637 (2012), aff'd, 431 Md. 14, 63 A.3d 582 (2013) (citations…

    Summary: Beware That College Brochure By Deena Prichep

    Deena Prichep’s “A Campus More Colorful Than Reality: Beware That College Brochure”(National Public Radio’s Weekend Edition, December 29, 2013) is a small article that shines light on a problem dealing with how College brochures target and sell diversity to attract more students, to seem more diverse and most importantly “miss the mark” on diversity. Prichep talks about how a picture of an African American student by the name of Diallo Shabazz was photoshopped on the cover of an Admissions booklet. “Shabazz remembered seeing a cover shot of students at a football game. But he’d never been to a football game” said Prichep when interviewing Shabazz. The article focuses on whether or not this action taken by hundred of colleges, not only this…

    Conquest By Law Analysis

    Lindsay G. Robertson's Conquest by Law: How the Discovery of America Dispossessed Indigenous Peoples of Their Lands centers on the landmark 1823 Supreme Court case Johnson vs. M'Intosh. Robertson's research provides previously undiscovered knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the case, placing the case in a new context. Robertson tells the story of a costly mistake, one made by the American judicial system but paid for by indigenous people who to this day suffer from the effects of American settlement. As reviewer Christopher Tomlin writes, "Robertson's narrative is far less concerned with parsing its legal doctrine, than with the historical circumstances of the case itself." Robertson begins his story in the middle of the 18th century,…

    However, it suffers from a handful of blatant and severe shortcomings. DiLorenzo excels in his writing skills.

    We have acquired and adapted literacy works from the ancient Greeks and Romans. I have thought of different ways to integrate literature into my career to help the whole process to go as quickly and effectively as possible. After a brief introduction about the case I am representing with my client, I will ask for some sort of background and discuss the consequences or explain exactly how much I may be able to help.
