Ronald Dworkin, Interpretation, and “Bleak House”
[ send me this paper ]
This 15 page
report discusses the contemporary legal philosopher, scholar, and
writer, Ronald Dworkin and his thoughts regarding interpretation
and uses Charles Dickens’ 1853 novel “Bleak House” as a means of
comparison for the modern legal system. “Bleak House” presents
the picture of a world in which the judicial system and its
apparently never-ending lawsuits suck the life and energy out of
the people involved in them. In Ronald Dworkin’s opinion, each
and every legal interpretation applied in the judicial system
demonstrates a rudimentary theory that makes a statement about
the general character of modern law. Dworkin believes that there
is a “best reading” of a text and that reading can lead to a more
efficacious route toward justice. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Same-Sex Marriage -- Issues and Case Law
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses legislation and court decisions prohibiting or
supporting same-sex marriages. Those who want to make their legal
point in favor of the legality of same-sex marriages point to the
fact that banning same-sex marriage is fundamentally
discriminatory. Their opponents make their objections based on
the belief that marriage is about procreation and that same-sex
marriages would actually add to taxpayer burden since gay couples
would be eligible for federal benefits and tax breaks. However,
one of the strongest points made by those opposed to such unions
is that one state court (or even several) should not dictate
marriage laws for the entire nation. Various case law related to
the issue are briefly examined -- Baehr vs. Lewin, Bowers v.
Hardwick, Romer v. Evans, Loving v. Virginia, and Stan Baker et
al. vs. State of Vermont. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
