... "can be, and is, proved by inveterate usage." He went on to state that the disability could not be nullified by an interpretation clause such as s.48 of the Solicitors Act 1843. The Solicitors Act 1843 s.48 provides that words alluding to the masculine gender shall extend to a female. Joyce J. noted that nothing in the Solicitors Act of 1843 or any other amending statute can be seen as giving women any new privilege with the view to becoming solicitors or attorneys. Although Miss Bebb's initial action was dismissed, she was given leave to appeal the decision of Joyce J. The appeal case that ensued, is what o ...

... of our planet, or something else that society as a whole sees as detrimental or damaging. But the news on television is not the only type of media taking the criticism of society. Other forms of mass media, specifically movies and television programs containing pornography and violence have been heavily criticized. The underlining concept to be debated here is that society is negatively influenced, specifically, by these images of pornography and the result is increased violence against women. This assumption, and it is indeed only an assumption, is completely fallacious, however, as no concrete and completel ...

... The Pro-NAFTA side views the treaty as a way to provide a large, efficient production base for the entire geopolitical area. This would result in lower cost to consumers and an increase in exports to Mexico and Canada. The multiplier effect would then take place producing growth in all areas. The Anti-NAFTA group feels that Mexico will be an unequal partner due to the lower wage rates of the Mexican populace, causing the loss of thousands of jobs in the United States and Canada. Environmentalist fear that pollution will spread across the continent. Farmers fear that produce grown in Mexico will be c ...

... brought about the same basic issue of homeless children having the right to a better education. In both studies it was determined that homeless children, when tested, perform rather poorly in the area of academics. In the first study (Sheltered Homeless Children: Their Eligibility and Unmet Need for Special Education evaluations) homeless shelters were selected randomly and from these families were selected that consisted of one child aged 6 to 12 years. Testing was performed in a quiet place. There were 118 parents and 169 children involved in the study. The parents were asked questions pertaining to the h ...

... backs of stare decisis, the law of precedent still holds true and important in our modern society. Some of the shortcomings of stare decisis are the following: As time changes, precedents need to change in order to accommodate society's new values and laws. Furthermore, the introduction of "social facts" in court cases has clouded over many existing precedents with many new facts and ideas that render the basics of stare decisis much more complicated. One of the more common drawbacks to the law of precedent is that over time, a law may be found as no longer applicable, or on the other hand, a new decision may be f ...

... most illegal immigrates home, the more impoverished they would become and the greater the incentive for them to cross the border. By investing and improving their homeland, more people would stay home, rather than take the dangerous journey to an unknown country to provide food for their families. Slowing down population rates of third world countries must be another priority. Empowering women in third world countries, giving them independence from their husband and a choice in birth control is a start. Smaller grants similar to Foundation of the Philippine Environment can reward particular actions of foreign g ...

... the Mexican War. He was appointed by President Polk as minister to Great Britain in 1853. As such, he, along with the American ministers to Spain and France, issued the Ostend Manifesto, which recommended the annexation of Cuba to the United States. This endeared him to southerners, who assumed Cuba would be a slave state. He was one of several northerners supported over the years by southern Democrats for being amenable to slaveholders' interests, a situation originating with Martin van Buren. Buchanan's two major rivals for the nomination, Franklin Pierce and Stephen Douglas, were both politically tainted by the b ...

... murderers from ever committing the crime. Unfortunately, the death penalty is currently used so rarely that it isn’t nearly as effective as it could be. In order for it to work, we must put it into practice more often. In recent years, crime in America has been on the rise, in particular, violent crime. This has led not only to an overcrowding of prisons in our country, but also to an increase in the number of death sentences handed down by the courts. Despite the fact that the number of inmates on death row is climbing, the number of death sentences actually carried out in any given year lags far behind. Pe ...

... and consequently should be so constituted, that the members of each should have as little agency as possible in the appointment of the members of the others � (Fed. No. 51). By separating the powers of the government, it prevents one particular group in becoming too powerful. Articles I through III of The Constitution, place each of the basic powers of government in a separate branch. The legislative power vested in Congress, the executive power in the president, and the judicial power in the Supreme Court and other federal courts. The legislative branch creates laws, the executive branch enforces the laws, a ...

... Goal of Education� on November 2, 1999 in Gorham, New Hampshire. That speech was the foundation of his educational platform. In it, Bush gave a synopsis of his proposals to enhance America’s educational system. He stated “The federal role in education is not to serve the system. It is to serve the children.� (The True Goal of Education, 1), that is precisely what Bush’s optimism demands, an arrangement powerful enough to postulate proven achievement in return for appropriation. A few illustrations of the appropriations Bush is proposing are: Establishing a $500 million incentive fund to reward states f ...
