Abstract
This paper is a law school essay on covenants not to compete and the successor employer, who acquires the assets of an existing employer including covenants not to compete and then loses employees and tries to enforce the covenants. It recommends that the employer be allowed to enforce the covenants only if it has express provisions making them transferable and it is a reasonable covenant.

From the Paper
"In American law, two venerable but contentious doctrines are the concept of "at will" employment and the (somewhat limited) enforceability of covenants not to compete. "At will" employment has been the general rule in practice in America since at least the early 1800s. In almost all jobs in America, the employee can be dismissed at any time for any reason, or no reason at all. Historically, the full legal acceptance of the doctrine is generally traced to an 1877 treatise, in which the author stated With us the rule is inflexible, that a general or indefinite hiring is prima facie a hiring at will, and if the servant seeks to make it out a..."

Abstract
This paper sets forth a potential thesis proposal dealing with restrictive covenants as applicable to physicians in New York. The paper proposes a reconsideration of the legal validity of covenants not to compete based on a greatly heightened consideration of the public interest involved in terms of the personal connection between doctor and patient, a relationship that is now almost entirely overlooked.

Abstract
This paper reviews Stephen Rodnesky's "A Broken Covenant" about wealth disparity, which he believes, is caused by national tax policies since the 1980's. The paper author repeatedly stresses that, although Rodnesky presents an enormous amount of statistical evidence that could have been overwhelming, everything is explained clearly and the tone of the book, while serious, is easy-going, understandable and convincing. The paper states that Rodnesky has some suggestions for interested readers such as letting their representatives know that they are not satisfied with the current tax structure.

From the Paper
"I must admit that I approached "A Broken Covenant" with a certain degree of cynicism. Many books of this type are more polemic than objective; the writing is frequently murky, stilted and/or convoluted; and there can be a tendency to become very "creative" with the facts in order to make a particularly convincing point. However, in this case I was pleasantly surprised. A Broken Covenant is very well written, and there is an attitude of reasonable discussion, not ranting or melodrama."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer discusses that the Arbella Covenant and the Mayflower Compact are very similar in their Christian principles, but greatly differ in the allocation of legal authority for colonial governance. The writer maintains that for the writings of Winthrop, he saw a direct legal authority in the life of Christ and in the dictates of the New Testaments. The writer discusses that for the Mayflower Compact, is it King James that rules a "defender" of the colonists in the name of God.

"Covenant in the Hebrew Bible

Introduction
The concept of "covenant" is fundamental to an understanding of the relationship between YHWH and the Hebrew people. It appears throughout the Hebrew Bible and the intent in this paper is to briefly trace its appearance and consider its meaning to the community.

Establishing the Covenant
According to Bernhard Anderson (1957), two of the most important covenantal arrangements belong to the priestly, or P, tradition in the Biblical narrative. That tradition describes a divine plan that begins with the creation and continues with the covenant with Noah and then with Abraham. The final dispensation ..."

Abstract
The following paper is a brief discussion describing the importance of the Torah and the Mishnah in Judaism, cherished rites, the debate over the Messiah with Christians, and the development of the State of Israel after the Holocaust.

From the Paper
"In the Jewish faith, the covenant is comprised of three sections: Torah, Israel, and land. The word Judaism means Israel and is used to define all Jews descended from Abraham and Sara. Jews believe that they are the ones that God loved first and are the "chosen ones". They lived their lives around the temple and when it was destroyed, their religion became utopian and began to spread across the lands."

Abstract
This paper examines how Islam's long history of persecution and discrimination aimed at religion outside the realm of Muslim belief, leads to the conclusion that Islam is neither a tolerant religion nor a compromising civilization. The violent terrorist actions of many of today's modern Muslims serve only to underscore this basic belief.

From the Paper
It was tolerance and patience that Paul the Apostle preached with these words to the Thessalonians of biblical Greece, along with a warning that iniquity, or gross injustice, was even then rampant among mankind. As history unfolded, Paul's words of warning were to materialize among the Thessalonians, as well as among the majority of Eastern Europe's civilized world, disguised in a face of tolerance. This face of tolerance called itself Islam.

From the Paper
"Amos and Hosea both react to corruption in 8th century Israel. Each condemns injustice and the maltreatment of the poor. Amos' tone, however, is decidedly harsher than Hosea's. Amos warns Israel to return to covenantal fidelity or risk facing terrifying divine justice, whereas Hosea highlights the need for true knowledge of God in order to reap the benefits of God's compassion for his son, Israel. Because Hosea's message better synthesizes with the Israelite tradition of blessing, his message would likely have been more effective than Amos' in actually effecting reform in Israel."
