Abstract
United Kingdom Consumer Laws and Consumer criminal Laws are meant to protect consumers against defective and unsafe products and services. They can be invoked if a consumer feels he was taken for a ride and given product or service, which did not meet his needs or was faulty in any sense. We need to understand that certain conditions apply when these laws are made use of to bring charges against a trader. For example, the nature of product or service doesn't count at all but the length of use; special seller instructions, representation of a product etc. play a dominant role in determining the exact nature of breach of contract between the seller and the consumer.

Conclusions/Recommendations

From the Paper
"Eleanor and Nicos needed to purchase a second-hand car and visited Solid Cars for this purpose. There they found a Range Rover, which was being offered for 2,000. The salesman informed them the original engine of the Rover had been replaced with a reconditioned engine. After initial discussions with the salesman, they agreed to purchase the vehicle through their debit card. The salesman however told them few things, which later proved to be incorrect and caused them several problems during test-drive."

Abstract
This paper discusses child labor laws in the United States. It starts off by discussing the history of child labor in this country and why there was a great need for reform. It also tells the reader the struggle that reformers went through to get child labor laws on the books. Next, the laws regarding child labor are discussed for today's times. The consequences of violating the laws are also mentioned.

From the Paper
"The United States government has enacted many laws and regulations over the years to protect the rights of workers in this country from unfair labor practices, employment discrimination and abuse. One of the groups of people that the government has enacted this type of legislation to protect is that of children, some of the most vulnerable workers. Throughout this paper I will examine child labor laws in the United States. I will give the background for such laws and the history of child labor in this country, including situations which created the needs for these laws. Furthermore, I will discuss how these laws have evolved over the years and what effect child labor laws have on the workplace today. Although child labor is not a big issue today as far more youth are in school than working during current times, this was not always the case."

Abstract
While attractive, English only laws cause many problems. As this paper reveals, these laws close off employment opportunities for Latinos. Similarly, they are divisive and exclusive. As well, they trample upon minority rights. Ultimately, legislators should focus on other approaches. In particular, improved ESL learning is the best way to go. Another approach might be to encourage Spanish language instruction in high schools. In any case, English-only laws are draconian and simply cause unneeded tension.

Abstract
This paper discusses the labor laws relevant to the guarantee of a non-discriminatory work environment. It focuses on how labor laws are applied within the labor union environment in protecting against discrimination. It explains that the labor laws in the United States are primarily governed by the U.S. Department of Labor which oversees approximately 180 various laws and regulations governing employment.

From the Paper
"Labor laws in the United States are overseen by the Department of Labor which, collectively, oversees approximately 180 various federal labor oriented laws. This body of laws and regulations oversee many workplace activities relevant to more than 10 million unique employers and more than 125 million unique employees. The following major labor laws constitute some of the most broadly applicable and well-known labor laws. Additionally, since unions constitute some the largest forces in labor across North America, labor laws pertinent to unions are also discussed. However, it should be mentioned that regardless of union membership, union members are, of course, entitled to the same protections on the existing body of labor laws that any employee is as well as a host of other protections vis-?vis his or her union contract. Pay & Schedule The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) outlines the standards for wages and overtime pay, which affect most private and public employment in ..."

Abstract
The following paper outlines US aviation gun laws as they existed prior to 9/11 and how they stand today in the age of Homeland Security and global terrorism. The paper then examines the legal issues involved in changing America's gun aviation laws in the aftermath of the brutal attacks of 9/11. From there, the paper looks carefully at how the transformation of America's aviation gun laws profoundly changed the traveling experience of ordinary Americans. Finally, this paper summarizes the pertinent legal issues and it concludes with an explication of why the recently-enacted gun laws are not only permissible, but entirely desirable.

Abstract
This paper discusses the various sodomy laws that invade people's privacy and govern what they can and cannot do in the bedroom. It states the weird laws in some states, with even life in prison punishments for sodomy. Sodomy laws prohibit oral and anal sex between consenting adults. It includes tables and charts containing historical data about sodomy laws in the United States.

From the Paper
"Many hold the opinion that in a free society, consenting adults should not be put in jail unless they physically harm the person or property of another. The government, however, feels that it has an obligation to protect the people from the use various acts. By making and upholding laws that make these acts illegal, the government goes so far as to govern the bedrooms of American citizens with sodomy or crimes against nature laws. This paper will examine the origin of sodomy laws, their restrictions, their proliferation, and the people's right to privacy. Origin Sodomy laws generally prohibit oral and anal sex, even between consenting adults. The exact origin of sodomy laws is not clear, but they probably stem from religious and historical beliefs about sexuality and sodomy. "

Abstract
The paper argues that gun control laws do not reduce crime, therefore, America does not need stronger gun control laws. The paper contends that gun laws that are currently in effect in the United States are adequate, some already being too strict, and there are safeguards built into the legal purchase of a firearm. In addition, the paper points out that many in this country enjoy their right to own a gun, which is evident by the large American membership in the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Abstract
This paper discusses the need to keep children safe from sexual predators today, which includes the use of Community Notification Laws to inform the public when sex offenders move into a neighborhood or region. The paper further points out that these laws may include direct notification of people in a neighborhood or more general notification by posting names and addresses on a website accessible by all. The paper concludes by stating that such laws can help reduce the incidence of sexual abuse of children by putting parents on notice so they can take greater care, though such an approach is not a panacea and will not completely eliminate the threat, only reduce it.

From the Paper
"Keeping children safe from sexual predators today includes the use of Community Notification Laws to inform the public when sex offenders move into a neighborhood or region. II. The argument for notification is clear--parents want to protect their children from potential harm by knowing that sex offenders are nearby so they can warn their children and take extra precautions. III. This approach has been extended to other violent felons as well. IV. Another provision in the federal crime bill was a national registration network to track convicted pedophiles. V. Even those who support notification laws may admit that the act of..."

Abstract
Federal contracts for construction, while similar in many respects to other types of federal contracts, have some unique aspects that have caused the federal government to create a system of rules within the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) specific to construction contracts. The federal government has been justified in creating these rules separate from those that apply specifically to supply and service contracts. This paper focuses on some of the unique rules and regulations that apply to federal construction contracts, including those related to contract types, labor laws, specifications, payments, delays, and differing site conditions.

From the Paper
"The federal government is the largest owner of real property in the world (Bastianelli, et. al., 1998), so it stands to reason that they spend an enormous amount of money on construction and maintenance of that property. It is difficult to gauge exactly how much the federal government spends on construction annually, but it is noteworthy that the Department of Defense alone planned to award over $10 billion on construction contracts in 2002 (Bush, 2001). Because of this significant amount of construction outsourcing, and the intricacies that go along with construction contracting, the federal government has been justified in developing unique regulations and rules for construction contracts. The federal government, in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), defines construction as, "construction, alteration, or repair (including dredging, excavating, and painting) of buildings, structures, or other real property" (FAR 2.101). Determining whether or not something is considered a building or a structure is general straightforward, although there are always exceptions. However, the line defining whether or not something is real property can, at times, be somewhat unclear. The FAR does not provide a definition for real property, but in federal contracts the common legal definition is used, that real property is, "land and all things that are attached to it" (Lectric Law Library, 2003). Though many of the clauses, terms and conditions, and rules applicable to federal construction contracts are the same, or similar, to those that are used on federal contracts for supplies, there are a number of differences in the nature of contracting for construction that have caused the federal government to create separate laws that deal specifically with federal construction contracts. One of the major differences is that construction contracts are performed on Government property. Because of this, construction contractors are subject to a great deal more in the area of inspections and general surveillance on their contracts (Abernathy and Kelleher, 1976). Construction contracts typically have much more paperwork than federal supply contracts. On construction contracts, a contractor is required to file daily reports showing that they complied with all the unique construction regulations, including safety, schedules, and submittals of material samples (Arnavas, 2001, 27.4.a.). Construction contracts are subject to much greater scrutiny on performance than supply contracts, as detailed analysis and explanation of any deficiencies are reported to contractors and contractors have the right to respond. Past performance information is also kept on construction contracts for six years, where the norm on supply contracts is three years (Arnavas, 2001, 27.4.a). Other differences that will be the focus of this paper include contract types, labor laws, specifications, payments, delays, and differing site conditions."
