The students will be required to read the assigned book, which is written by author Sarah Burns and entitled, “The Central Park Five”, that will be used during this course, and then write a critical book review about it. While one component of a book review is to summarize the content of the book, another of the main purposes of this assignment is to provide a critical analysis on the content, format, argument, and context of the book.

You will be graded on your ability to effectively summarize the book, its contents, and the overall messages that the author is trying to convey to readers. You should try to make sure that your paper serves as an effective tool to educate the reader of your paper as to the overall contents and quality of this book.

In your paper, you should also discuss topics such as the ones listed below:

-You should summarize the facts of the primary criminal case that is discussed throughout the text, as well as to explain the problems with the prosecution that caused the case to end up the way that it did.

-You should address other overarching problems within the criminal justice system that are raised by the author, including, but not limited to system racism within the criminal justice system, how the law enforcement officials and prosecution may have contributed to this injustice by the way they questioned the defendants and prosecuted the case, poor legal representation by the attorneys who represented these defendants, and the way the media portrayed these young man throughout the pendency of the case.

-Based on your reading of this book, what suggestions do you have to help improve or fine tune the American criminal justice system to make it better?

Choose ONE of the following questions.
1. In all the cases in which it has arisen, how well has the International Court of Justice
dealt with the issue of self-determination? In your view, what should the Court have
said in the Kosovo Advisory Opinion?
2. In a recent article in the Guardian,
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/aug/01/the-big-idea-do-nations-reallyneed-borders, James Crawford (not the late James Crawford, ICJ judge), argued that
international borders may no longer be necessary or appropriate. From an
international law perspective, do you think this is feasible or desirable?
4. In international discourse, and especially in the jurisprudence of the International Court
of Justice, the distinction between obligations erga omnes and obligations erga omnes
partes has been blurred, to put it mildly. Do you agree? Should there be a distinction,
and if so, how should it be clarified?

Please check the attached documents. I have already written this assignment, but have been asked to resubmit it as it didn’t meet the passing criteria. Here is also comments that I received from my teacher:

Thanks for your submission. May I politely suggest you listen to my audio feedback, then read this written feedback, and you’ll see how the rubric criteria have worked out. You are allowed one reattempt, and that can only receive a maximum of 50% if it is successful.

You were asked to read the case study about Apple and its suppliers and in no more than 2,000 words answer these questions:

Compare and contrast the legal and ethical considerations of the Apple/Foxconn crisis. How were these reconciled?
RESULTS: Unfortunately this answer is rather too blunt for academic writing and needs more explanation. What we’re looking for is a more detailed explanation of how the relevant laws and treaties apply and have changed.

Do you think Apple is responsible for the alleged human rights violations? Why and how does the law apply?
RESULTS: Unfortunately this section lacks sufficient discussion of the relevant laws and treaties. Remember this is a unit called “legal frameworks”.

Is it reasonable for Apple to apply different ethical and legal standards in different countries?
RESULTS: This section includes several statements such as “companies must apply the same level of ethical and legal standards”, and “companies have a duty of care” … but this unit is intended to give you the information and skills to say *why* they must (what compels them) and *why* they have a duty of care (what happens if they don’t).

OVERALL RESULTS: It would have improved your assignment to have included some material from content readings such as Mugarura, N. (2017). “The interaction of public and private international law in regulation of markets”. International Journal Of Law

Using the attached crime scene scenario, please answer the following questions as thoroughly as possible:

From the listing of evidence collected from the crime scene, please identify from the list of forensic tests available which tests should be conducted on the items of evidence collected, if applicable. The forensic tests you learned about in CCJS 301 are indicated in the scenario and those are the tests you should concentrate on. Every item of evidence must have at least one (1) test requested, and most items should have more than one test selected. You may not request every test on every item of evidence, as this would not be allowed for a real-world forensic lab submission.

In your own words, discuss/explain [provide justification] why you selected these CCJS 301 laboratory analysis for each item of evidence. This means you only must provide an explanation for latent print analysis, firearms analysis and each type of trace analysis.

Describe the various types of known samples/standards you would need to provide with the evidence being submitted to the laboratory. Utilize at least 2 outside resources/course material resources to defend your response.

Explain at least two challenges this crime scenario could present with evidence admissibility in a trial. Utilize at least 2 outside resources/course resources material to defend your response.
Discuss how the evidence admissibility challenges discussed in number 4 could be avoided. Utilize at least 2 outside resources/course resources material to defend your response.
Format Requirements

Paper must be double spaced, 11 or 12 pt font and 1”margins all around.
All APA 7th edition format requirements must be followed (cover page, in text citations, reference page). Refer to APA/UMGC – learning resources found in the content page of this course.
You must have resources to support your thoughts/opinions/information. These must be cited both in text as well as at the end of the document. Your paper should not contain direct quotes, sourced material must be paraphrased.

No, I do not agree with the ruling of this case. For one reason that “Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a national law that protects qualified individuals from discrimination based on their disability. The nondiscrimination requirements of the law apply to employers and organizations that receive financial assistance from any Federal department or agency, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). These organizations and employers include many hospitals, nursing homes, mental health centers and human service programs. Section 504 forbids organizations and employers from excluding or denying individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to receive program benefits and services. It defines the rights of individuals with disabilities to participate in, and have access to, program benefits and services.” In 2008 the ADA Amendments Act Sec. 4 which states that diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis, or hepatitis B, will be protected under the 504 Rehabilitation Act.

If it is shown that Arline could perform some other function in the school system besides teaching, and contact with others was not as prevalent as in the classroom, would you allow her to stay on? Discuss. I would consider the situation but not take it to the extreme that the school board did. First, I would make sure my employee is ok, then I would request that they take some time, so that they can get it under control. But always you want to put things in writing not to humiliate them but only to protect yourself from future lawsuits. They allow people with AIDS

The ultimate objective is to write a narrowly focused research paper about a First Amendment Topic. THIS PAPER WILL BE THE PROPOSAL/PROSPECTUS which should be single-spaced/double-spaced between paragraphs, in 12-point Times New Roman or Cambria and in Microsoft Word format. A sample of the prospectus format and materials to be included is attached.
The research paper prospectus will cover the Topic noted above and below.
Comm Law 1st Amend Topic = Trademark/Copyright = Trademark “Famous marks” have a secondary level of protection in trademark law. Owners can sue to prevent dilution or blurring even where there is no confusion in the marketplace with regard to origination of the goods and services. How do courts determine “fame”?

Research must focus on primary sources, which are:
Court opinions from the reporter system.
Law journal and law review articles for opinions of legal experts.
Mass communication journals for opinions of media experts.
(Most websites are not primary sources.)
Sources that will be used for the research paper need to be listed at the end of the prospectus – see sample prospectus attached for reference.
(After this proposal/prospectus is approved, will need a 10-12 page research paper written based on the information gathered and presented.)
