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.

Safety Devices on Guns: Safety Features, Social Responsibility and Manufacturers
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing gun safety features, gun manufacturers and social responsibility. Public concern and promotion by gun safety groups led the Clinton administration to introduce gun safety legislation in 2000 which included the requirement of built-in child safety locks on handguns, ballistics testing on new handguns to aid in solving crimes and additional safety training for those who purchase guns. The legislation was quickly picked up by many states, counties and communities in their efforts to reduce the high rate of handgun deaths in the United States. With the exception of Smith & Wesson, most gun manufacturers stated that they would not be adding additional safety features to their firearms. Smith & Wesson, on the other hand announced that it would be including the addition of several types of safety locks on all of their newly manufactured handguns. Because of this commitment in 2000, Smith & Wesson not only received appreciation from the public in regards to their social responsibility but they also received contracts from many police departments throughout the United States who pledged to use the new Smith & Wesson guns with safety devices. Since that time other manufacturers have also introduced new safety devices for their firearms with the intention of increasing their social responsibility image and offering new safety products which are within the legislation guidelines. Bibliography lists 6 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.
