Week 3: Case Analysis
Young v. Becker & Poliakoff, Court of Appeals of Florida, Fourth District (2012)
Parties
The plaintiff was Jacquelyn N. Young (the appellant), and the other party involved was the law associate firm, Becker & Poliakoff (the appellee) (Find Law, n.a.).
Facts
Jacquelyn Young hired an associate law firm, Becker & Poliakoff, to represent her in the lawsuit against her employer, who became the source of federal employment discrimination. The law firm attached the wrong documents of the Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC) when it filed for the case in the court, which the court immediately dismissed (Find Law, n.a.). The firm did not bother informing Young about it, and after thirteen months, the law firm told Young it could not further pursue her case as it had been dismissed. The law firm told her it wanted to withdraw, to which later Young came to know the firm was doing so as it was repr4esenting other employees of the same company. The rule of their contract prevented the law firm from suing the employer, and therefore the law firm deliberately submitted the wrong EEOC document, Young perceived.
The court also agreed with the fact that Becker & Poliakoff kept the truth hidden from Young and had to be charged with compensatory damage charges of $394,000 with the inclusion of $144,000 for the previously lost salaries and another $250,000 for the pain...…question and has to bear the burden of trial.
Conclusion
The law firms obligation to fulfill its clients requirements and state its civil liability towards fulfilling the goals of the contract with the client. The workable and desirable conditions could be discussed with the client, with their informed consent, as it would facilitate trust between the two parties, and avoidance of breaches of fundamental duties could be ensured.

Wade 410 U.S. 113 (1973) DISSENTING OPINIONS JUSTICE REHNQUIST In a dissenting opinion, Justice Rehnquist states that the decision handed down by the Court is one in which a state is disallowed the imposition of any restrictions whatsoever on abortions during the first trimester of the pregnancy. Justice Rehnquist specifically states
12 (Rubin, 1987, p. 5) The ensuing demonstration of change in legal form is actually one of the best outlined examples of the way in which the evolving and almost living form of the legal and legislative system in the U.S. works. Each ensuing challenge must follow the line of the original legal stand of Roe to either further restrict or unequivocally uphold the Roe ruling. Yet, the ensuing change
Certainly, if a newborn baby is entitled to legal protection, then so is a fetus a day, week, and a month before delivery. The only difficulty is identifying the appropriate stage of gestation where medical ethicists define life apart from religious presuppositions. Modern medical technology is better capable of doing so by reference to specific biological development and neural processes, but in objective principle, the distinction of viability" introduced by the
While I do believe a woman should have the right to choose, I am not necessarily convinced of that the Ninth and the Fourteenth Amendment allow for a so-called right to privacy to support the creation of a right in this instance. Admittedly, I am not a legal scholar, so to disagree with Justice Blackmun seems a bit of a stretch; however, what he did in Roe v. Wade was
Rethinking Roe v. Wade Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision made in 1973, legalized first-trimester abortion, and was a historic decision that changed the course of our country morally and spiritually. Many people still question whether the United States Supreme Court was right to make abortion legal, both legally and morally. This essay will show that the historical evidence does not support the conclusion that was drawn in the decision, and
There is no need to try the case again. Before Roe vs. Wade, when abortion was illegal, hundreds of young women died every year due to botched illegal abortions. Many also traveled over the border into Mexico for unsafe and unsanitary abortions in that country. Illegal abortions are dangerous and can be deadly, and the country would return to that practice if the court's judgment were altered. In addition, states
