Change the form of the word if necessary. (15’)3Exercise 1Institution foundation startprovision statute knowcode experience jurisdictionstill-survive judicature advocateas exercise regardWe are about to pass into a world governed by _41__; and a few words will not be out of place as to the way in which codes are__42_in the countries where they form the __43__of the national law. In the first place a code is supposed, in theory at least, to provide a fresh__44_in all those parts of the law with which it deals. It is not conceived as resting upon a presupposed and__45_common law, but as standing upon its own foundations, _46__does, for example with us, a__47_introducing a novel principle, such as Workmen's Compensation. We shall not find in a continental code such language as that used in the Supreme Courtof_48__Act, 1925, where the jurisdiction of the High Court is defined as including "the _49___which was formerly vested in, or capable ofbeing__50_ by, all or any of the courts following ..." It was the intention of the authors of the French Civil Code that it should be interpreted only in the light of its own__51_and definitions. One of theearly commentators, Bugnet, said: “know nothing of civil law; I only teach the Code Napoleon."A very short__52_, however, was enough to show that this idea was impossible of realization. The judges and _53__, to say nothing of the not less important legal authors, whose task it was to expound and to apply the new Code, could not have done their work had they not been familiar with the old technical terms it adopted, and with the_54__which in substance it reproduced. Whatever pretence they might make of looking only to the text of the Code, they could not empty their minds of a large body of relevant professional knowledge, _55__ of something which we may, without great error, call the common law of France -- or atleast the common law of Paris.Exercise 2disputes justice pursuitprocedure plaintiff rootsprocedural reliance meansadversary jurisdictions claimsjudgment parties opposingIn all jurisdictions there is general agreement that the goal ofcivil _56_ is the just, prompt, and inexpensive determination of _57_ before the courts. There is similar agreement that _58_ of this goal requires4that the law of procedure provides some _59_ for performing each of the following basic functions: notifying the defendant that the _60_ is bringing suit, informing each party of the _61_ and contentions of the other, determining the nature of the dispute and the issues between the _62_, ascertaining the facts, deciding which principles of law govern the case, applying the law to the facts to reach a _63_, giving the judgment effect in some practical way, and having the official actions of lower courts checked by higher courts. With very few exceptions, the differences that exist in the _64_laws of the various_65_ are only differences with respect to the means chosen to perform one or more of these functions. In addition, American rules of procedure, with the exception of those in effect in Louisiana, have their _66_ in the early English common law. Consequently, most differences are not differences in kind; they are differences in the degree of evolution from early common law concepts. Finally, in all of our jurisdictions much _67_ is placed on the assumption that if each of the_68_ parties takes the steps and advances the propositions that appear to him or her to best serve his or her own cause, truth and _69_ will emerge. Because of this characteristic, our system is often referred to as the _70_ system.Exercise 3for court celebratinglater patted rejecteddrunk her withprison searched ofprosecutor declaring bothOne evening police officers saw a man and woman running down a street. The police __71__ them. The woman had a bag of money in her hand and a bulge in __72__jacket. They patted her down and found a gun. Then they __73__ down her companion; they found nothing. They took __74__ to the station, booked them and arrested them for armed robbery. Back on patrol __75__ that night they saw a group of rowdy college students__76__ a football victory. The group was in a quiet neighborhood. The two officers told the youths to “keep quiet”. Still later, they saw a __77__ stumbleand fell down; they took him to a nearby shelter.A few days later, a __78__ charged the two armed robbery suspects__79__ robbery, according to the state's criminal code. The woman went to __80__ ;the jury acquitted her because the only eyewitness died__81__ a heart attack the morning of the trial. After charging her companion, the prosecutor offered the male suspect a “deal.” In exchange __82__a plea of guilty, the prosecutor would reduce the charge to simple theft and ask the judge for a sentence to a newly instituted home confinement program instead of to prison. The man accepted the deal and pleaded guilty,5but the judge __83__ the request for home confinement. She sentenced the man to __84__ for two years. Because of good behavior and a courtorder __85__ the overcrowded prison to be in violation of the Constitution, prison officials released the man after six months, judging that he wouldnot seriously endanger the community.III.

Please find 113 my CV.Please do not hesitate to contact me if you 114 any furtherinformation.I look forward 115 heating from you.Yours sincerelyAnne ALexanderAnne Alexander (Ms)8IV. Read the materials and answer the following questions:Exercise 11. Read the following text and answer questions 116-120.Sometimes you might be asked to go to a selection or assessment centre. This is an extended interview which is made up of a series of group activities, rests and presentations. You will be assessed throughout the day by assessors who will be looking to see how well you work in a ream, whether your communication skills are good and whether you can work to deadlines. Team work is important. You don't do yourself any favors by trying to take over the group, but at the same time, don't sit back and let everyone else do the work.Don’t panic if you're asked to do a presentation on something you don't know much about as the way you give the presentation is often more important than the content itself. You should practice beforehand so you know how long the presentation takes. The best advice on dealing with a selection centre is to give it your best shot. If you sit timidly in the corner, the assessor cannot make any judgment about you.When you take a personality test, which is designed to find outabout your personality and character, what your values are and what motivates you, don't worry about answering questions incorrectly thereis usually no right or wrong answers. Answer the questions honestly and positively. There is no point in trying to give the answers you think the employer will want because firstly you might have the wrong ideaabout what the employer is looking for, and secondly, you don't want 1o gel tile job and spend the ensuing months trying to be someone whoyou're not. 116. What is the Exercise mainly concerned with?9117. How should you behave during the day at the selection centre? 118. How should applicants approach giving presentations?119. Does it matter if you answer questions incorrectly in a personality test? Why?120. What does the author say about lying in a personality test?Exercise 2Despite the attention paid within advertising agencies to the whole business targeting specific groups, there have been some spectacular failures to get it right when companies have tried to go international or global with their products. This has been for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, the brand name of the product has unfortunate associations when translated into foreign languages. Looking at this area can illustrate how powerful the operation of connotation is --the way in which words can call up associations in our minds. Because of the way we make connections between words and particular ideas, feeling and experiences, brand names are crucial for advertisers. They are very economic, acting as little concentrated capsules of meaning. Where advertisers get it right, readers will do the work to generate all the intended connotations.There are whole companies who specialize in offering research onbrand-name connotations to product manufacturers looking for a name fora new product, or looking at how best to market an existing product to new, foreign audiences. These companies—for example Inter-brand, and The Brand-naming Company typically organize brainstorming sessions where they ask groups of people to let their imaginations ‘roam free’, from which meetings they arrive at shortlists of names whosesuitability is then researched further. Names on the shortlists have to pass certain10tests: for example, that they are not too close to existing names; that they are pronounceable in all the world's major languages; thatthey have the right connotations. The latter, however, is a complex area. Even within one language, connotations can be about quite subtle distinctions. For example, when Pickfords Travel merged with Hogg Robinson two years ago, the shortlist for the new company had two main contenders: 'Destinations' ,arid 'Going Places'. The new company chose the latter, deciding that 'destinations' tended to suggest long haul flights to farflung places travel for the privileged. 'Going Places', on the other hand, was thought to describe all sorts of travel andtherefore be more suitable for the mass market, which was the company’s target.2.

In the United States jurisprudence commonly means the philosophy of law. Legal philosophy has many aspects, but four of them are the most common. Thefirst and the most prevalent form of jurisprudence seeks to analyze, explain, classify, and criticize entire bodies of law. Law school textbooks and legal encyclopedias represent this type of scholarship.The second type of jurisprudence compares and contrasts law with other fields of knowledge such as literature, economics, religion, and thesocial sciences. The third type of jurisprudence seeks to reveal the historical, moral, and cultural basis of a particular legal concept. The fourth body of jurisprudence focuses on finding the answer to such abstract questions as what is law? How do judges (properly) decide cases?Apart from different types of jurisprudence, different schools of jurisprudence exist. Formalism, or conceptualism, treats law like math or science. Formalists believe that a judge identifies the relevantlegal principles, applies them to the facts of a case, and logically deduces a rule that will govern the outcome of the dispute. In contrast, proponents of legal realism believe that most cases before courts present hard questions that judges must resolve by balancing the interests of the parties and ultimately drawing an arbitrary line on one side of the dispute. This line, realists maintain, is drawn according to the political, economic, and psychological inclinations of the judge. Some legal realists even believe that a judge is able to shape the outcome of the case based on personal biases.Apart from the realist-formalist dichotomy, there is the classic debate over the appropriate sources of law between positivist andnatural12law schools of thought. Positivists argue that there is no connection between law and morality and the only sources of law are rules that have been expressly enacted by a governmental entity or court of law. Naturalists, or proponents of natural law, insist that the rules enacted by government are not the only sources of law. They argue that moral philosophy; religion, human reason and individual conscience are also integrating parts of the law.There are no bright lines between different schools of jurisprudence. The legal philosophy of a particular legal scholar may consist of a combination of strains from many schools of legal thought. Some scholars think that it is more appropriate to think about jurisprudence as a continuum.The above-mentioned schools of legal thoughts are only part of a diverse jurisprudential picture of the United States. Other prominent schools of legal thought exist. Critical legal studies, feminist jurisprudence, law and economics, utilitarianism, and legal pragmatism are but a few of them.Material 2: Legal PhilosophyJurisprudence is the philosophy of law and of the legal system.There are many ways of classifying legal philosophy or jurisprudence. The four major schools of thought are natural law, positive law, sociological jurisprudence and legal realism.The natural law school of thought feels that the legal system should model the relationships found in nature and believe in the innate goodness of man.13The natural law school of thought began during the fifth century B.C. and states that there exists a sense of what is just and right in nature separate and distinct from the rules that may be developed by a state.Aristotle asserted that law existed in nature and could beascertained by man's exercise of his power to reason. The Stoic schoolelaborated on and expanded on the ideas of Aristotle in the thirdcentury B.C. Duringgentium (the law of nations) was the Roman period the concept of jus similar to the earlier Greek natural law theories.St. Thomas Aquinas combined the Greek and Roman schools of thoughtinto a Christian view that God reveals natural law to man through man's ability to reason. John Locke argued that man had a "bundle" of rights, only some of which he surrendered to the state in order to live in an organized society. According to Locke, the individual retained the remaining rights in the bundle. This view is recognized in the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.Beginning with the nineteenth century, there was a move away from reliance on natural law toward the concept of positive law. Natural law takes the position that law is based on fundamental truths. Thisposition is more a statement of faith than an assertion of fact. The advocates of positive law (sometimes called legal positivism oranalytical jurisprudence) believe that law should be more scientific and less reliant on blind faith. Thus, positive law deals with axioms and attempts to develop a legal system based on logic rather than on beliefs.Legal positivism originally developed in Europe. The legalpositivists believe that there is no law unless and until laid down by a sovereign. (The sovereign can be either a person or an institution. ) Asa result, positive law can be distinguished from morality because morality does not come from the sovereign, while law is, or at least should be, handed down by the sovereign. There are four basic components of legal positivism:1. Law consists of rules.2. Law is different from morals.3. The sovereign establishes the rules.4. Legal rules carry sanctions.Legal positivism is best exemplified in the views of Hans Kelsen andH. L. A. Hart. Kelsen was born in Austria in 1881 and served on the law14faculties of many European universities before immigrating to the United States in 1940. Kelsen viewed the law as being self-supporting and not dependent on any external values. He said, "A norm becomes a legal norm only because it has been constituted in a particular fashion, born of a definite procedure and definite rule. Law is valid only as positive law, that is, statute (constituted) law". In Kelsen's view, therefore, all the actions of any given government are valid so long as those actions are recognized as valid by statute within that country. Hart, on the other hand, expands this somewhat narrow view. Hart rays that the law must treat all like cases alike. He argues that legal positivism stands for the proposition that law does not necessarily have to relate to morality. To Hart, rules of law are more important than the process of how courts decide cases.The natural law proponents seem to have a "justification by faith" approach to jurisprudence. The advocates of legal realism have a seemingly coldhearted rationalism that rests on the effects of the law, with little apparent concern for what the law should be. A third school of legal thought adopts a position somewhat between these two previous schools of thought. This third school --sociological jurisprudence -- is concerned with the effects of law, but it is also concerned with the justifications and reasons that underlie the enactment of the law. Its supporters observe, analyze, and justify both the justifications for the law and the effects of the law by applying the modern tools of psychology, sociology, and anthropology. Proponents of sociological jurisprudence believe that a law must be properly justified and have an appropriate effect in the society, based on the societal values andgoals of the given populace.The American legal philosophy can best be described as legal realism. Legal realism can be viewed as being on the opposite end of thepolitical spectrum from legal positivism. Legal realism has its roots in natural law, but it tries to take the "human element" into account, rather than relying on the innate nature of the universe as ajustification or explanation for the legal system. Natural law consists of four basic elements:1、 Law is based on the nature of man.2. Legal rights can be discovered by the exercise of reason.3. Law is constant.4. Legal principles must be just and fight.Legal realists have a somewhat more open view of the law, feeling that law reflects what "is" and not what it "ought" to be. Accordingly, legal realism can be viewed as consisting of two parts:1. The law is a social process, not a body of "rules".152. Law is what legal decision makers actually do about the statutes and rules.Legal realists concentrate on natural law than on rules. Legalrealists believe that law is based on the nature of man, but they also recognize that law is a social process based on logic, so thatlegal rules need to be just and fight.Each of the four schools has strong proponents and each has strong opponents. An application of each theory to the same set of facts leads to several different results. An understanding of the philosophy of law in any region allows one to understand the government of that region and basic attitudes commonly held by people within that region.Answer the questions according to the given materials:126. Is there any difference between jurisprudence and legal philosophy?Why?127. How many schools of jurisprudence as you know? What?are the main legal ideas of the natural legal school? 128. What129.

Damages can be defined as ‘money awarded by a court in compensation for loss or injury’, should not be confused with damage denoting ‘loss or harm actionable in law’. After reading the text, find a synonym for damages in the second paragraph and match these types of damages(1-7) with their definitions(a-g)When there has been a breach of contract, the non-breaching party will often seek remedies available under the law. This area of the law, known as ‘remedies’, is a broad area, but can be summarized generally.Most remedies involve money damages, but non-monetary relief is also available in some cases. The basic remedy for breach of contract in the Anglo-American legal system is pecuniary compensation to an injured party for the loss of the benefits that party would have received had the contract been performed. Some examples of this kind of remedy include expectation damages or ‘benefit of the bargain’ damages. Certain damages are recoverable regardless of whether the loss was foreseeable, while the recovery of other damages hinges on foreseeability. Where the damage is the direct and natural result of the breach, the breaching party will be held liable to pay damages for such without regard to the issue of foreseeability. When lawyers plead these damages in court, they commonly refer to general damages. However, where the damage arises due to the special circumstances related to the transaction in question, damages are limited by the foreseeability rule, which states that they are only recoverable when it can be established that the damage was foreseeable to the breaching party at the time the contract was entered into, When lawyers plead these damages in court, they commonly refer to special or consequential damages.Where it is not possible to prove expectation damages, the non-breaching party can seek reliance damages, where the compensation is the amount of money necessary to compensate him for any expenses incurred in reasonable reliance on the contract. The non-breaching party is thus returned to the status quo ante with no profit or benefit from the contract.Another measure of damages is restitution damages, which compel the breaching party to give up anymoney benefit it obtained under the breached contract. Restitution damages are, for example, awarded when one party(the breaching party) completely fails to perform its obligations under the contract.The parties to a contract may, however, agree at the time they enter into the contract that a fixed sum of money shall be awarded in the event of a breach or to a formula for ascertaining the damages or for certain other remedies, e.g. right of repair. This type of damages is known as liquidated damages or stipulated damages.In some cases, a party will be able to obtain punitive or exemplary damages through the court which are designed to punish the breaching party for conduct which is judged to be particularly reprehensible, e.g. fraud. This type of damages is normally only awarded where specifically provided by statute and where a tort in some way accompanies the breach of contract.Where monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, such as in a case where two parties enter into a real-estate contract and the seller decides to sell to a third party, the court may order specific performance. Specific performance involves an order by the court compelling the breaching party to perform the contract. Finally, there are other remedies available; for example, if there has been a default by one party, the other party may rescind or cancel the contract. This constitutes an undoing of the contract from the very beginning. In addition, legislation such as sale of goods legislation also allows for various remedies, including a right to reject goods in certain cases and a right to return or demand rapair or replacement.

第1篇Case Name: The Case of Smith v. JohnsonFactual Background:In the small town of Greenfield, John Smith, a 45-year-old electrician, purchased a brand new SUV from Johnson Motors, a reputable car dealership. On the date of purchase, John signed a standard sales agreement, which included the following provisions:1. The vehicle was sold "as is," with no warranties or guarantees, express or implied.2. The buyer, John Smith, agreed to inspect the vehicle before the purchase and was solely responsible for determining its condition.3. In the event of any dispute, the parties agreed to resolve it through arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA).John drove the SUV for a few weeks without any issues. However, on his fourth week of ownership, he discovered that the vehicle had a significant oil leak. He promptly brought the SUV back to Johnson Motors for repair. The dealership inspected the vehicle and confirmed the oil leak, but claimed that it was due to John's negligence in maintaining the vehicle.John was not satisfied with this explanation and sought legal advice. He retained the services of Attorney James Thompson, a seasoned lawyer with expertise in consumer protection laws. Attorney Thompson reviewed the sales agreement and advised John that the "as is" clause could potentially invalidate his claim against Johnson Motors.Issues of Law:1. Validity of the "as is" Clause: John's primary issue was whether the "as is" clause in the sales agreement was enforceable under the applicable consumer protection laws.2. Negligence: Johnson Motors claimed that the oil leak was due toJohn's negligence in maintaining the vehicle. This issue revolved around the standard of care required for the maintenance of a new SUV.3. Arbitration: The sales agreement required that any disputes be resolved through arbitration. John was concerned about the fairness and impartiality of the arbitration process.Analysis and Argument:1. Validity of the "as is" Clause:Attorney Thompson argued that the "as is" clause was unenforceable under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty-Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act (MMWFCA). This Act provides that manufacturers and sellers cannot disclaim implied warranties on consumer products, except in certain limited circumstances. Thompson contended that the "as is" clause violated the MMWFCA by disclaiming the implied warranty of merchantability, which guarantees that the product will be fit for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are used.Thompson further argued that the "as is" clause was not fair and reasonable under the circumstances, as the SUV was a new vehicle, and the oil leak was discovered shortly after the purchase. He cited case law that held that such clauses are voidable if they are unconscionable or if they cause significant harm to the consumer.2. Negligence:Thompson challenged Johnson Motors' claim of negligence by presenting evidence that the oil leak was a defect in the vehicle's design or manufacturing process. He argued that the standard of care for maintaining a new SUV was relatively low, as the vehicle was under warranty and the manufacturer was responsible for addressing any defects.Thompson also presented expert testimony from a mechanic who confirmed that the oil leak was not due to John's negligence but rather a manufacturing defect. This testimony supported Thompson's argumentthat Johnson Motors was liable for the repair costs.3. Arbitration:Thompson argued that the arbitration clause in the sales agreement was procedurally and substantively unconscionable. He pointed out that the clause was buried in the fine print of the agreement and that John had no opportunity to negotiate its terms. Thompson also contended that the AAA arbitration rules were biased in favor of the business community, making it difficult for consumers like John to receive a fair hearing.Conclusion:After a thorough investigation and legal analysis, Attorney Thompsonfiled a lawsuit against Johnson Motors on behalf of John Smith. The case went to trial, and the court ruled in favor of John Smith, finding that the "as is" clause was unenforceable under the MMWFCA and that Johnson Motors was liable for the repair costs due to the manufacturing defect.The case of Smith v. Johnson highlights the importance of consumer protection laws and the need for clarity in sales agreements. It serves as a reminder to consumers to carefully review the terms of any contract before signing and to seek legal advice if they believe their rights have been violated.Note: This case study is a fictional representation and is intended for educational purposes only. The facts, issues, and outcomes are purely hypothetical and should not be considered as legal advice.第2篇Background:In the small town of Maplewood, nestled between rolling hills and dense forests, there stood a historic property known as the old Redding mansion. The mansion, built in the early 1900s, was a masterpiece of Victorian architecture, with intricate ironwork, grand porches, and a stunning garden. Over the years, the mansion had changed hands several times, but it always remained a symbol of the town's rich history.Facts:On April 1, 2021, Mr. John Redding, the current owner of the mansion, entered into a contract of sale with Ms. Emily Thompson, a wealthy real estate developer. The contract, drafted by Mr. Redding's attorney, Mr. Robert Johnson, outlined the terms of the sale, including the purchase price of $1.5 million, the closing date of June 30, 2021, and the condition that the mansion would be preserved in its original state for at least ten years.The contract also included a clause stating that any disputes arising from the contract would be resolved through arbitration. Before signing the contract, Ms. Thompson had the mansion inspected by a professional appraiser, who valued it at $1.6 million. Despite this, Ms. Thompson agreed to the purchase price, primarily because of her desire topreserve the mansion's historical significance.However, as the closing date approached, Ms. Thompson became concerned about the mansion's condition. She hired a structural engineer toinspect the property, who reported significant structural damage, including cracks in the foundation and rotting timbers. Ms. Thompsonthen hired a preservation specialist, who advised her that the mansion required extensive repairs and restoration work, which would cost approximately $500,000.Upon receiving this news, Ms. Thompson contacted Mr. Redding and requested a reduction in the purchase price to reflect the necessary repairs. Mr. Redding refused, arguing that the mansion's condition was disclosed in the contract and that the purchase price was non-negotiable. Ms. Thompson, feeling misled, terminated the contract and sought damages for breach of warranty.Issues:1. Did Mr. Redding disclose all material facts about the mansion's condition to Ms. Thompson?2. Was the clause requiring arbitration in the contract enforceable?3. Did Mr. Redding breach any warranties in the contract?4. What remedies are available to Ms. Thompson for the breach of contract?Discussion:1. Disclosure of Material Facts:Under common law principles, a seller has a duty to disclose all material facts that would affect the buyer's decision to purchase the property. In this case, the structural damage to the mansion was a material fact that would significantly impact the value and usability of the property. The question is whether Mr. Redding fulfilled his duty of disclosure.The contract of sale included a clause stating that the mansion was sold "as is," which might suggest that Mr. Redding did not make any representations about the property's condition. However, the clause also required that the mansion be preserved in its original state for atleast ten years. This could be interpreted as an implicit warranty that the property was structurally sound at the time of sale.If the court finds that Mr. Redding had knowledge of the structural damage and failed to disclose it, he may be liable for misrepresentation and breach of warranty.2. Enforceability of the Arbitration Clause:The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) provides that arbitration agreements in contracts involving commerce are generally enforceable. In this case, the contract of sale clearly provides for arbitration as the dispute resolution mechanism.Ms. Thompson's argument that the arbitration clause is unenforceable would likely fail unless she can demonstrate that the clause was procedurally or substantively unconscionable. Given that the clause was drafted by Mr. Redding's attorney and Ms. Thompson had the opportunity to negotiate its terms, it is unlikely that the court would find the clause unenforceable.3. Breach of Warranty:If the court finds that Mr. Redding failed to disclose the structural damage, he may be liable for breach of warranty. The warranty of habitability requires that the property be fit for habitation at the time of sale. Given the extent of the damage reported by the structural engineer, it is clear that the mansion is not fit for habitation.4. Remedies for Breach of Contract:If Ms. Thompson prevails on her claim, she may be entitled to damagesfor the breach of contract. These damages could include the difference between the agreed-upon purchase price and the actual value of the property after repairs, as well as any additional costs incurred due to the breach.In addition, Ms. Thompson may seek specific performance, which would require Mr. Redding to sell the mansion to her at the original purchase price. However, given the significant repairs required, it is unlikely that this remedy would be granted.Conclusion:The case of the old Redding mansion presents several interesting legal issues, including the duty of disclosure, enforceability of arbitration clauses, breach of warranty, and available remedies. The outcome of the case will depend on the court's interpretation of the contract and the evidence presented by both parties. If Mr. Redding is found to have breached his duty of disclosure, Ms. Thompson may be entitled to damages or specific performance. However, if the arbitration clause is upheld, the dispute may be resolved through an arbitration proceeding, which could have a different outcome.第3篇Case Name: Smith v. JohnsonFactual Background:In the summer of 2019, John Smith, a resident of New York City, purchased a new car from Johnson Motors, a local car dealership. The car was a 2020 model, and Smith was excited to drive it home. However, afteronly two weeks of ownership, Smith noticed that the car was experiencing engine problems. Despite multiple visits to the dealership for repairs, the issue persisted.Disheartened and frustrated, Smith decided to file a lawsuit against Johnson Motors, claiming that the car was defective and that the dealership had breached the terms of the sales contract. The case eventually made its way to the Supreme Court of New York, and the court was asked to determine whether Johnson Motors had fulfilled its obligations under the warranty and whether Smith was entitled to damages for the defective vehicle.Legal Issues:1. Warranty Breach: The central issue in this case revolves around whether Johnson Motors breached the warranty that accompanied the sale of the car. Smith argues that the car's engine problems are a direct result of a manufacturing defect, which falls under the warranty coverage.2. Consumer Protection Laws: Smith also asserts that Johnson Motors violated various consumer protection laws by failing to provide adequate maintenance and repairs. These laws are designed to protect consumers from deceptive and unfair business practices.3. Negligence: Additionally, Smith claims that Johnson Motors was negligent in selling him a defective vehicle. The dealership, on the other hand, argues that it acted with reasonable care and did not have knowledge of the defect at the time of sale.4. Statute of Limitations: Another legal issue that arises is whether the statute of limitations has expired. Smith argues that the defect became apparent within the statutory period, while Johnson Motors claims that the defect only became significant after the statute of limitations had expired.Analysis:1. Warranty Breach:- The court must first determine whether the engine problems are indeed a manufacturing defect. If so, Johnson Motors is likely in breach of the warranty.- The warranty document should be examined to ascertain the specific terms and conditions under which the dealership is obligated to repair or replace the defective vehicle.- The court will also consider whether Johnson Motors provided timely and effective repairs during the warranty period.2. Consumer Protection Laws:- The court will look at the New York Consumer Protection Law (NYCL) and determine if Johnson Motors engaged in deceptive or unfair practices.- Evidence of previous complaints against Johnson Motors for similar issues may strengthen Smith's case.3. Negligence:- The court will assess whether Johnson Motors had a duty to inspect and test the vehicle for defects before selling it to Smith.- If the dealership failed to perform these duties, it may be found negligent and liable for the damages incurred by Smith.4. Statute of Limitations:- The court will review the relevant statute of limitations for warranty claims and determine whether Smith filed his lawsuit within the prescribed time frame.- If the statute of limitations has expired, Smith's claim may be dismissed.Conclusion:Based on the facts presented, the court is likely to find in favor of Smith on the issue of warranty breach. If the engine problems are deemed a manufacturing defect, Johnson Motors will be obligated to repair or replace the vehicle under the terms of the warranty. Additionally, ifthe evidence supports the claim that Johnson Motors violated consumer protection laws and acted negligently, the court may award Smith damages for the cost of repairs, replacement, and any other related expenses.The case of Smith v. Johnson serves as a reminder to both consumers and businesses of the importance of clear and enforceable warranties and the obligations that accompany the sale of goods. It underscores the needfor due diligence on the part of sellers to ensure that the products they offer are of high quality and meet the expectations of their customers.。

No two legal systems,then,are exactly alike.Each is specific to its country or its jurisdiction.
This does not mean,of course,that every legal system is entirely different from every other legal
system.Not at all.When two countries are similair as well.no doubt the law of El Salvador is very
much like the law of Honduras.The laws of Australia and New zealand are not that far apart..
Standing requires that the plaintiff in any case in federal court ba able to demonstrate that he or
she has some “personal stake”in the outcome of the controversy.This stake requires that two things
be shown(1)an actual or threatened “distinct and palpable injury”to the plaintiff(sometimes called
“injury in fact”)and(2)a “fairly traceable causal connection between the claimded injury and the
challenged conduct.”Standing is generally a problem only in cases seeking injunctive or
declaratory relief,since a claim for damages alldeges a sufficient tangible injury caused by the
defendants conduct.

Criminal law,branch of law that defines crimes,establishes punishments,and regulates the
investigating and prosecution of people zccused of committing crimes. Criminal Law includes
both substantive law,which is addressed in this article,and criminal procedure,which regulates the
implementation and enforcement of substantive criminal law.
Crimes ate dicided into felonies and misdemesnors.The classification of each crime as a felony
or a misdemeanor is determined by the sentencing portions of the criminal codes:felonies are
usually crimes punishable by death or by imprisonment for more than one year,and
minsdemeanors are called “high misdemeanors,”which are punishable by up to two years in
jail.The distinctiong is between felonies and misdemeanor has an impact upon the nature of
pre_trial procedure,as noted below.

The relief most commonly sought is money damages.Compesatory damages are intended to
compensate the injured party for its loss. Punitive or exemplary damages are awarded beyond the
actual loss and are intended to punish the wrongdoer and to deter similar conduct by others.The
availability or punitice damages is limited by statute.
Tort law in the U.S.is largely common law. This means that courts have the power to shape and
change the elements of claims and defenses of existing torts and the power to create new
torts.Statytes have been passed,particularly in recent years,in attempts to “reform”the tort
system,but most those have related to procedural matters and amounts and categories of
damages.With a few exceptions,legislatures appear content to leave basic tort elements and
defenses to the courts.
