From the Paper
"John, a private sector employee, wants to file a discrimination complaint against his employer. There are certain steps which John should take to file this action. Furthermore, the legal process which the complaint must travel through before an outcome is reached is often complex. Throughout this paper, I will explain the filing of an employment discrimination complaint as well as the civil litigation process from the state to the US Supreme Court level. Numerous employment discrimination complaints are filed each year. In a 1995 article put out by the United States General Accounting Office it states that "in fiscal year 1994, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received over 90,000 discrimination complaints from employees, almost twice the number filed in 1981 and 10 times the number in 1966" (United States, 1995)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The single most important U.S. legislation affecting employment law is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Bennett-Alexander et al, 2003 p.1). The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the lead government agency for processing complaints associated with employment discrimination.

Discrimination, as described in Title VII prohibits employers, labor and management committees and unions from discriminatory practices affecting the hiring, firing, discipline, training, classification, compensation and benefits of individuals."

Legal Naturalism vs. Legal Positivism, 2002.
A comparison of laws understood to come about naturally or through some form of positive creation.
2,630 words (approx. 10.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 114.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines two of the general theories of law - legal naturalism and legal positivism, both of which have had an enormous influence on law throughout history. The first part of the paper looks at natural law which describes those diverse theories of law that do not accept human law as true law and hold that a particular "something other than the positive law is the true law". The second section examines legal positivism where one of several general theoretical traditions is based on the belief that the source of knowledge lies in experience, not in reason, nor in mind.
From the Paper
"A good example of the usefulness of classical legal naturalism can be seen in the rise of commercial law in the Middle Ages in Europe. As Glendon, Gordon, and Carozza point out, the rise of commercial law took place when Roman civil law provided no adequate coverage of new problems that arose as trade "emerged from the localism and relative economic stagnation of the Middle Ages" in the form of international banking, expanded maritime trade, and rising commercial centers."

Abstract
This paper reviews the process of legalizing prostitution in the Netherlands. It looks at the history of prostitution in the region, tracing the views of the prohibitionists and the abolitionists, citing the Dutch Morality Act and the Dutch Brothel Act of 1911 and following the development of the regulation of the trade through to the modern day.
From the Paper
"The history of the Netherlands and the mentality shared by both the government and the citizens is a major aspect of the country?s legalization of prostitution. For centuries, Rotterdam, was known as one of the most prominent European ports. With thousands of sailors passing through the Dutch city, the existence of prostitution in the area was uncontrollable. Unlike many countries during the same time, the Dutch government chose to stay out of the sex lives of their citizens and therefore prostitution seemed to exist in a grey area of Dutch society. The open tolerance of prostitution continued until the religious Calvinist revolution in the early 1900?s. This religious upheaval created open debates on the effect of prostitution on the moral standards of society. Two schools of thought emerged in the debate, the prohibitionists and the abolitionists."

Abstract
This paper looks at the doctrine of judicial precedent in the process of adjudication and legal reform in the legal system in England and Wales.

From the Paper
"The historical power struggle began in the 17th century between the legislature and the Crown (Stuart Monarchy) and ended with Parliament becoming an independent in the power of making law in the name of the Crown. Nowadays, the ultimate power of making new law lies with the primary legislature (Parliament). Parliament has the capability of authorising and altering laws and as Parliament is an elected house, the power is given through democracy, but this is not so in the House of Lords because they are not an elected chamber. The House of Lords has received proposals for reform and those proposals are to modify the traditional form of the Life Peerages Act 1958 and the Peerage Act 1963. "

From the Paper
"In the past, there was no jurisprudential distinction between criminal and civil law. Civil disputes dealing with land and family matters were generally settled through mediation. In traditional China, the emperor was vested with judicial, executive, and legislative powers. The laws created by the emperor were binding on all of his subjects, but the same law did not bind the emperor. The emperor was the supreme judicial power, and as such, could modify the judgments given by lower judicial authorities, determine the guilt of accused individuals, and dictate the penal sentence."

Legal Codes, 2005.
This paper examines the Lower Canadian legal history and its codification process.
2,925 words (approx. 11.7 pages), 4 sources, AU$ 167.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper briefly reviews the The codification process in Canadian legal history as it pertains to nineteenth century Lower Canada. Among other things, this paper explores the conflation of socio-cultural and socio-political factors and how they lead to the laws that shape our society. Beyond that, this paper also seeks to define the term "code" and offers an interpretation as to what a "true" legal code really is.
From the Paper
"The codification process in Canadian legal history has been a complex, occasionally convoluted, but always interesting one. Because of the scope of the topic, this paper will focus primarily upon the codification process in nineteenth century Lower Canada as it pertains to the Lower Canadian Civil Code. In addition to limiting the scope of the inquiry, a further reason for emphasizing the French-Canadian experience in this manner is because it is an excellent example of how socio-political and socio-cultural factors conflate to produce the laws by which we live. Moreover, the treatment of the 1866 Codification of Upper Canadian Civil Law by John E.C. Brierley and Brian Young provides an excellent example of how didactic "good" legal history can be. Among other things, this paper will define what a "code" is as well as suggesting what a "true" code might be."

Legalization of Prostitution, 2002.
A case for legalizing prostitution on the grounds that women generally receive a greater level of respect and acceptance for their profession in countries where prostitution is legal.

Abstract
This essay makes a case for legalizing prostitution. It argues that women generally receive a greater level of respect and acceptance for their profession in countries where prostitution is legal. They also receive more protection from routine police abuse, and get better medical care. However, the very nature of the profession means that the legalization of prostitution still comes with some stigmas and problems continue to proliferate even where it is legal. This essay still makes a claim for the legalization of prostitution, which, in spite of the problems that continue to be associated with it, tends to offer a safer service both for the individuals in the profession, and for their clientele. .

Overview
The Debate: Pros and Cons
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The debate about the legalization and the pros and cons of the drug marijuana has been one that has constantly been fought in the public as well in the medical arenas. The issue of the possible legalization of this substance has also been linked to facets such as crime, social stability and norms and the affect on the family structure. There are numerous arguments both for and against the legalization of marijuana. Proponents of legalization claim that marijuana is in fact relatively innocuous compared to other substances and drugs which are already legal. This refers to various accepted drugs and of course to the fact that tobacco and cigarettes are legally obtainable. Many people state that in comparison to many other legal drugs, marijuana is in fact less harmful in many respects and should be legalized. Among the many arguments put forward in favor of Marijuana is the assertion that it provides medicinal value which makes it more acceptable."
