Abstract
This paper is written by the author as the associate reporting his or her legal research to the senior partners about the client Paula Tall, a licensed physical therapist at physical rehabilitation resort, who was assigned to do therapeutic work with a famous athlete.

The paper continues to relate the facts of an inconsistent report of rape and her subsequent firings. The author presents questions and answers to (1) what crimes, if any, might the famous athlete be charged with and the prospects for conviction, (2) what actions in tort might be brought against him and the prospects for recovery and (3) whether the "contract" which he gave to Ms. Tall is enforceable and to what extent. The paper includes an extensive discussion of cases relating to the author's research.

"There is no requirement that the victim of a sexual assault resist. The Texas statute defining criminal sexual assault focuses the fact that the victim is compelled, not her resistance. Hernandez v. State, 804 S.W.2d 168 (Tex. App. 1991). Further, consent must be given freely. If consent was produced by a threat against the victim, consent is negated, and the resulting act remains a criminal sexual assault. Cavazos v. State, 668 S.W.2d 435 (Tex. Crim. App. 1984). Further, in evaluating the validity of consent, the relative strength of the parties can be considered."

From the Paper
"The following paper is a memorandum to District Justice William K. Sessions of Burlington, Vermont. The legal brief will outline the legal issues raised in the case of The Citizens of Newport, Vermont v. The State of Quebec, Pierre Cardin, President of Quebec, The Saint Francais River Dam.

Abstract
This paper, in memorandum form, reflects inter-group conflict, identifies relevant variables which affect the selection of appropriate conflict management style and discusses each in terms of its' importance in the conflict situation. Evaluation of a subset of approaches in dealing with the conflict is performed and recommendations of the appropriate conflict management style for implementation and an accompanying rationale for this choice are presented.
From the Paper
"As you know there has been conflict within the group working on second shift in the hospital emergency room for some time now and many methods of resolving this conflict have been tested without success. The stress experienced in the nightshift ER is strenuous therefore time has been applied to research of this matter. Due to the 12-hour shifts and the high-pace of action in the ER there is little time for paperwork and recently this has led to problems among the nursing staff because no one wants to stay over in the morning after 12 hours to catch up on the paperwork and time has not been found within the shift in order for it to be completed at that time."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Oregon Supreme Court lately endorsed a disciplinary damage verdict for trespass stemming from an ecological remonstration. The author points out that, even though the law, at present, authorizes disciplinary indemnity for trespass, this memorandum makes a case that an instruction, which permits the adjudicators to reflect on reasons and viewpoints in measuring disciplinary damages for civil disobedience, breaches both the United States and Oregon Constitutions. The paper concludes that a jury instruction, which permits defendants' motivations to be a factor in measuring disciplinary damages for civil disobedience, is impermissible under both constitutional necessities; furthermore, the First Amendment is suppose to be interpreted to offer respite for civil disobedience and disciplinary damages and ought not to be allowed in this area.

From the Paper
"The defendants did not dispute the criminal guilty verdict, and they accepted legal responsibility for compensatory damages in the civil suit. On the other hand, they made a case that awarding disciplinary damages would infringe their right to free expression as assured by the Oregon Constitution, as well as, the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. Defendants made a case that all of their behaviors were expressive, and citing Wheeler v. Green, claimed that the Oregon Constitution restricts recovery for torts reasoned by ?misuse of speech? to compensatory damages, as well as, prevent any verdict of disciplinary damages. For the reason that the defendants considered all of their behavior as expressive and consequently protected from disciplinary damages, they did not demand a jury instruction to bound the evaluation of disciplinary damages to the non-expressive feature of the conduct. The jury instruction actually given was founded on Oregon Uniform Civil Jury Instruction (UCJI) 35.01. The court ordered the adjudicators that they could verdict disciplinary damages if defendants' behavior was motiveless and reasoned damage to petitioner, consecutively not only to penalize defendants but also to discourage parallel behavior by them and others in the future."

Abstract
This paper presents a memo from Lutece Academy, which has been considering a change in the nature of the relations between staff and administration by instituting individual workplace agreements between each member of the staff and the administration and, thus, the board as well. This memorandum argues against such a shift to individual workplace agreements.
From the Paper
"The members of the board of Lutece Academy, a secondary school that serves approximately 700 hundred students and has a tradition of excellence in education, has been considering the merits of making a fundamental change in the nature of the relationship that exists between the school and its staff. That current relationship (with the exception of the administration) consists of traditional collective bargaining rights that are negotiated with the heads of each union?s representatives at the school. This is the norm for schools in the region and indeed in the country, which has a highly unionized school work force."

From the Paper
"The Second World War was not, in spite of its name, the second general war to be fought on a global scale. The previous war that gave it its name, the war of 1914-1918, was in fact only marginally a "world" war, and indeed in the interwar years it was known simply as "the Great War." Eighteenth-century wars had been at least as global in scope as the First World War; the Seven Years war and the war that grew out of the American Revolution had both involved fighting from North America to India. Going back another two centuries, we might even argue that the Anglo-Spanish war that culminated in the Armada was the first "world" war; Drake's voyage in the Golden Hind had literally carried military action against Spain around the globe. In a deeper sense, the Second World War was the first truly global conflict, in that it was really a conflagration of several

"You are aware that we are in a difficult economic climate.

These conditions are beyond our control, and you must recognize that if we could ensure that profitability was minimized in terms of affecting our decisions, than we would go to great measures to ensure that this would come to pass. However, this is not to be. As a for-profit company, we are driven to meet specific goals within productivity in order to ensure that profitability is maximized."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that HB 1215, or the Women's Health and Human Life Protection Act, bans all abortions in the state of South Dakota, except if necessary to save the mother's life. The writer notes that sponsors and supporters of this bill believe that abortion is wrong because unborn children are the most vulnerable members of society. The writer then points out that such supporters designed this bill to challenge the Supreme Court's ruling in "Roe v. Wade", which defines the current U.S. law on abortion. The writer then points out that many Americans believe it is immoral for the government to interfere with their fellow citizens' private reproductive decisions, and that passing HB 1215 might result in extensive political conflicts. The writer therefore proposes to vote against HB 1215.

Key Points
Argument for Voting against HB 1215
Recommendation
From the Paper
"In fact, existing law mandates a 24-hour waiting period and counseling prior to the procedure. Girls under the age of 16 must also notify a parent. No South Dakota doctor will perform the procedure therefore the Sioux Falls Planned Parenthood Clinic is the sole clinic that agrees to do so once a week, flying in doctors from Minnesota. Consequently, only 0.2%, or approximately 800 out of a total 390,000 South Dakota women will opt for an abortion annually."
"Should HB 1215 be signed into law, abortion opponents are confident Roe v. Wade could be overturned. So far, 14 states have considered bills that would ban abortion in all or most cases, according to NARAL Pro-Choice America. This ban may set a precedent and swing the vote in those states, including nearly every state in the South and some of the states across the industrial Rust Belt, states that have already enacted most of the abortion restrictions now allowed."

Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that Canadian documentary directors have used the genre to effectively illustrate facets of multiculturalism and style that would be lost in the non-documentary film-making world. The writer discusses and compares three films in this paper. The writer describes that Simcha Jacobovici and Roger Pyke present a striking memorandum that illustrates the pain and struggle of religious persecution in the film 'Expulsion & Memory: Descendants of the Hidden Jews'. Similarly, the writer looks at Alanis Obomsawin's 'Richard Cardinal: Cry from the Diary of a Metis Child'. The writer also discusses 'Shooting Indians: A Journey with Jeffery Thomas' by Ali Kazimi that quietly illustrates one man's struggle to change the stereotypical image of Native cultures and people in North America, while also reflecting on the relationship of culture as the director shares his cultural background. The writer concludes that through different uses of the documentary genre, all three films effectively use the factual background to establish strong views of multicultural identity.
From the Paper
"As a film style, documentaries are tied to stricter guidelines than other films because they must adhere to fact to some respect. While many filmmakers might see this as a problem or hurtle, well-made documentaries take advantage of this factor as strength. American director St. Clair Bourne explains that the making of a fictional movie is much more demanding because the background and context must all be created from scratch; he finds documentaries to be more about interpretation and bringing out the real story that already exists within a context. This is the case with the three films discussed here, though each film faced different challenges in creation, and succeeded in different aspects. Each of these films takes the raw material of the history involved and shapes it to create a story with whatever intentions exist from the directors."
