/in /by

Your Final Paper will outline the basic primary arguments of the opinions written in support of and dissenting from the same-sex marriage decision, Obergefell v Hodges. The concern in this assignment is not your personal view of the topic or even how you see it through a Christian worldview. Rather, it is an important exercise in reading Supreme Court case opinions and discussing the important constitutional arguments from the various interpretive viewpoints you have studied during this term. Locate the arguments and present them in a 5–7-page paper. The paper must use a compare/contrast format and include at least 5 citations in addition to the course textbook.

Explore the relative strengths and weaknesses of this reform, drawing on other material, including academic peer-reviewed sources, to make your argument.

In June 2019 a report ‘Foresight, insight and oversight: Enhancing long-term
governance through better parliamentary scrutiny’ was released (you can find the link for this report below). This report identifies some key
concerns with New Zealand’s parliamentary processes and suggests options for
reform. You should identify one reform in the report that you wish to critically
evaluate. In your essay, you should explore the relative strengths and weaknesses
of this reform, drawing on other material, including academic peer-reviewed sources,
to make your argument. Your essay should have a thesis – in other words, you
should be making a case for either adopting the reform or rejecting it (or, perhaps,
revising it to address weaknesses you identify). In making your case, you should
present arguments both for and against the reform.

Below is a list of background reading to get you started on your research:

If you were the 10th justice how would you vote and why?

/in /by

As you learned this week, the government can enact the concept of eminent domain and “take” private property so long as it is for the “public use” and the owner is justly compensated. This concept is hotly contested and often results in a clash between property owners and the government. Developers and businesses generally like the concept of eminent domain and really attempt to stretch the term “public use” in order to expand business. In 2005 the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decided in Kelo v. New London by a narrow margin of 5-4 that city’s taking of private property to sell for private development qualified as a “public use” within the meaning of the takings clause.
In your assignment this week please explain why the court got this correct AND explain why the court was wrong. Lastly, if you were the 10th justice how would you vote and why?

Write a report on a SEC’s enforcement case against a CEO and CFO for violations of SOX requirements.

/in /by

The SEC’s enforcement division investigates public companies for violations of securities laws and regulations.  The Sarbanes Oxley Act mandates that the SEC prescribe the rules for public companies to follow regarding their reports of internal controls over financial reporting. Now that you are familiar with those rules from reading SOX sections 404 and 302 and the SEC Management’s Guidance, your task is to research and write a report on a SEC’s enforcement case against a CEO and CFO for violations of SOX requirements. Your case is the SEC investigation of CEO Marc Sherman and CFO Edward L. Cummings of QSGI Inc.

Requirements:

  • Prepare a 2 page report summarizing the violations and describing the outcome and consequences of the case. The report should be single spaced and 12 font. You should use in text citations and include the references in the footnotes. To start your research find:
  • the SEC’s press release concerning the SOX violations
  • the SEC’s order against Sherman and Cummings

You may also use articles written in sources such as the Wall Street Journal or other reputable business press.

Discuss why the law did not previously provide the insured with a remedy and why the law needed to be reformed.

Insurance Law
Question
Where an insurer had unreasonably refused to pay a claim or paid it only after an unreasonable delay, the law in England and Wales previously did not provide a remedy to the insured. However, the law has now changed.
Discuss why the law did not previously provide the insured with a remedy and why the law needed to be reformed. Critically assess whether the current law is satisfactory.
Your answer should focus on non-consumer insurance policies.
The Executive Summary
Your essay should start with an Executive Summary of your argument. An Executive Summary is a concise document with a word count of 600 words, and that word count is separate to the word count of the essay. It should summarise your argument made in the main essay.
It could be read separately from the main document and should make perfect sense to the reader, as in practice decisions are sometimes made on the basis of executive summaries.
Your Executive Summary should:
• Contain brief analysis of the question / issue within the question
• Summarise the main argument
• Follow the structure of the essay
• Provide brief justifications for the arguments made
• Only include materials used for the main essay
• Contain a clear conclusion
Guidance Notes:
Where an insurer had unreasonably refused to pay a claim or paid it only after an unreasonable delay, the law in England and Wales previously did not provide a remedy to the insured. However, the law has now changed.
Introduction
You can commence with a brief explanation as to how you intend to approach the question, in terms of structure of the answer.
Main body
You need to discuss why the law did not previously provide the insured with a remedy when an insurer had unreasonably refused to pay a claim or paid it only after an unreasonable delay.
Remember to use case law in support of your discussions.
You then need to consider why the law needed to be reformed. Use academic and other third
party opinion in support of your arguments.
Set out what the current law is when an insurer unreasonably refuses to pay a claim or only
pays it after an unreasonable delay. Remember to use primary sources in your discussions.
Finally, you need to consider whether the current law is satisfactory. Discuss any differing
views on the matter and try to use academic and/or other third party opinion in support of your
arguments.
Conclusion
This should flow from the arguments raised in the main body. In particular, is the current law
on the liability of an insurer for non-payment or late payment of an insurance policy
satisfactory? Note that there is no right or wrong answer but your arguments must be well
supported.
