"Internet and Computer Law: Cases-Comments-Questions": A Discussion of the Principles Illuminated by Authors Peter B. Maggs, John T. Soma, and James A. Sprowl
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page discussion of the ease with which private and proprietary information can be unscrupulously gleaned from the multitude of computerized digitized files which exist in the contemporary world. The laws which exist for the purpose of protecting our privacy and the ownership of intellectual property have proven to be a little real benefit. The case law outlined by Maggs, Soma, and Sprowl is used as a springboard in this paper to discuss several independent examples of where information privacy becomes an issue and the measures that can be taken to protect that privacy. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

"Unconstitutional" Alcohol Sales Prohibitions by US Cities
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the trend toward sharply restricting alcohol sales in cities for the purpose of restricting availability in narrow locations. Restricting alcohol sales by zoning and imposing time controls is not unconstitutional in action, but it certainly does oppose the intent of the Constitution and specifically the 21st amendment that repealed Prohibition in 1933. Citizens and local politicians alike need to ensure that their communities do not fall into the trap of "back-door" prohibition that already has been overruled by the 21st amendment. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Herbert L.A. Hart's (1997) assertion of "what's important in law in a society is social facts and not morality or justice" (p. PG), goes against the very grain of the entire legal process. In order to accept this accusation, it is important to understand how and why the notion of law first developed. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
