Abstract
This paper provides a definition of tort law and then takes a look at a particular legal case which falls under the area of tort law. The paper describes the case and provides reasons why it should be approached under the area of tort law.
From the Paper
"As tort law is the practice of law that addresses civil wrongs, wrongs in which a person's bodily security, property, material or economic resources, and well-being of personal reputation, it would seem that this is the area that should address the case being presented. In this case, the Plaintiff, Mr. Caudle, was taking part in festivities during a workplace party. Much tomfoolery and rambunctious behavior abounded, including the foolish tossing about of an electrical device which was known to give electrical shocks to those with whom it came in contact. When Mr. Betts, president of the workplace and Defendant, put said device in contact with Mr. Caudle, the Plaintiff received an injury which has caused many medical maladies, which not only required surgical treatment, but have not yet abated completely. This court will rule on the case based on tort law, looking at how it might fit..."

Abstract
This paper gives an explanation of the concept of assault and battery under the Tort Law ( civil law ). Both concepts are treated separately. The conditions for any assault or battery to take place are explained with examples throughout.
From the Paper
"Humans are aggressive and violent by nature. There are people who are capable of committing serious acts of violence against their own kind. Since the beginning of civilizations, crime has remained an integral part of our society and will continue to plague it. In order to harness the violent nature of mankind, societies evolved rules and regulations commonly known as the laws. Any person found violating these laws is subjected to punishment which not only curtails the criminal's freedom but also serves as a deterrent for others. Law is a complicated subject but ignorance of law is no excuse. A common person generally has some knowledge about criminal law because incidents related to crime and delinquency remain on forefront of media. The other types of law do not form any sensational news and therefore remain in background. The purpose of this paper is to focus on civil law (commonly known as Tort Law) and analyze the implications of Assault and Battery by identifying the differences between the two and quoting suitable examples of each."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Woodcock-Johnson batteries (WJIII), which was first published in 1977, is a comprehensive test battery used for assessing cognitive and academic achievement skills in individuals, aged 2 years through 90 years. The author points out that WJIII norms are based on data from the same sample of subjects, which allows direct comparisons among and within a subject's scores, giving a degree of accuracy not possible when comparing scores from separately normed tests. The paper stresses that professionals who use the WJIII ACH are responsible for maintaining test security by carefully storing materials and protecting test contents. The author would use this testing system to understand a student's strengths and weaknesses because it has more validity than other tests, is easy to give, is current and shows strong reliabilities.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Any person administering the WJIII achievement tests (ACH) needs thorough knowledge and proficiency of the administration and scoring procedures, which need to be followed carefully. Graduate-level training in educational assessment and a background in diagnostic decision-making are recommended, and at minimum a practicum-type course covering administration and interpretation of tests of academic achievement. Many qualified examiners possess state, provincial, or professional certification, registration, or licensure in a field or profession that includes, as part of its formal training and code of ethics, the responsibility for rendering educational assessment and interpretation services."

Abstract
The paper provides a discussion that will identify the degree of cultural bias that exists in the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, which is designed to identify the level of cognitive development that has occurred in children at various stages. The paper explains that although there is perceived bias in this test, there is little if any concrete evidence of such bias, making this a situation-specific occurrence.
From the Paper
"The provision of testing processes for young children is a necessity in today's education community, whereby individuals are assessed based upon their knowledge and skills in a wide variety of areas, and it is expected that these tests provide different perspectives regarding the effectiveness of education and the skill level of students in different communities. For example, the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children serves as a comprehensive examination of cognition in young children, and this evaluation utilizes statistics and psychology as its primary strategies (St. Mary's University of Minnesota 1). The following discussion will identify the specific criteria related to this assessment in greater detail, emphasizing cultural awareness and possible bias that is suggested in this test as a means of identifying learning capabilities in young children."

Developments in Cellular Technology and Battery Life, 2002.
Examines the need to improve the quality and life of cellular phone batteries.

Abstract
All cell phone services promise better rates and better services to their customers but only technological advances can truly provide a longer lasting battery life for cell phone users. The paper shows that the overall goal of the cellular phone industry and its users is to improve the quality and length of service of cell phones, without requiring the phones to be charged as often as they must be at present, on as consistent a basis as before. Consumers want this to be accomplished at the lowest price possible and companies wish to provide a competitive price. The paper shows that the cellular phone battery market, given the changing nature of the technology and its relatively new status on the market represents a highly competitive and volatile industry. However, new advances in cell phone technology could give potential innovators a lock on the market. The paper examines two existing cellular phone batteries - Nickel Cadmium and Lithium Ion.
From the Paper
"Users of cellular phones are currently faced with a dilemma of quality versus expense. The solution for the industry would be to provide an inexpensive form of technology that allows users to top up on their charge as often as users want. However, at present this is easier envisioned than accomplished with current technology. In a November 2, 2002 article in the trade journal Battery News, Tyco Electronics Power Systems Inc., a supplier of telecommunications power equipment, and Valence Technology Inc., a developer and manufacturer of Saphion technology and Li-on polymer rechargeable batteries, are said to be collaborating ?to evaluate and develop Valence's Saphion Li-on technology? in the hopes of creating inexpensive Li-on batteries. A cellular battery that is inexpensive, does not suffer from voltage depression, and can be recharged on the convenience of the user, and poses no environmental hazards may be in the works. Should this be developed, the competition amongst cellular phone services would escalate, unless only one type of phone or service secures a patent over these potentially inexpensive Li-on batteries."

Abstract
This study assesses how accurately the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) can predict a student's suitability and capability for a particular job. The thesis of the study concerns student aptitude while attending the U.S. Air Force Jet Engine Technical Training School, but is designed to provide an important additional source of data on the level of effectiveness of selection and classification tests across all military services.
From the Paper
"Historically, the demand for new enlisted recruits by the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force is virtually always high, and runs from about 250,000 young men and women a year during peacetime to several million during periods of mobilizations such as today (Dillon, 1997). The pool from which the military draws its new recruits is overwhelmingly young (generally ranging in age from 18 to the early 20s) and almost all have high school diplomas or GED equivalents; however, the majority of new recruits frequently arrive without any advanced education (i.e., college education) or much previous employment history. According to Zeidner (1986), the factors that have the most serious implications for the available recruitment pool include unemployment, growth, immigration, technology, occupational supply and demand, education and training, standard and nonstandard recruitment age groups, compensation and benefits, households and families, working conditions and attitudes, women in the labor force, migration patterns, and unionization."

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.

"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."

British Criminal Law, 2008.
This paper explores the debate over subjectivism vs. objectivism in the United Kingdom's legal conceptions of criminal culpability.
2,178 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 17 sources, APA, $ 67.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper offers definitions of both objectivism and subjectivism. The paper examines the highly controversial Caldwell case of the early 1980s that can be seen as a prime example of what pulls the British judiciary in competing directions. The paper also looks at the legal concept of "impossible attempts" and its relationship to both subjectivism and objectivism. The paper then shows how the area of the criminal law dealing with physical assault and battery is a good example of how subjectivism and objectivism continue to grapple over legal terrain. The paper concludes that neither approach is entirely without shortcomings, but each approach is certain to gain ascendancy at different times in the future.
From the Paper
"It is generally true that drawing a distinction between the "subjective" and the "objective" is not a particularly easy matter. For example, if the law courts attempt to justify an ascription of recklessness by arguing that someone did not notice an "obvious" risk chiefly because they did not care about that risk and what it might mean for others - a "subjective" position British courts have taken in the past - then they are obviously applying some kind of normative (objective) standard to the matter. Of course, the confusion about what is really subjectivism and what is really objectivism cries out for a definition of both. To wit, subjectivism - broadly stated - believes that "action-ascriptions" which generate criminal liability should be determined solely by looking at what the individual's intentions and beliefs were at the time of the offense. On the other hand, the objectivist camp believes that someone's actual intentions are irrelevant to whether or not they are criminally liable: instead, proponents of objectivism cleave to the view that what actually occurred trumps any intentions or non-intentions the perpetrator might have had."

From the Paper
"Sexual assault and sexual abuse, though often not acknowledged, are very prevalent in our Western society. A Statistics Canada survey conducted in 1993 found that 39% of adult women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of sexual assault, as defined by the Criminal Code of Canada, since the age of sixteen (Statistics Canada, 1993). FBI annual statistics have estimated lifetime prevalence rates of one in four women and one in eight men who will be sexually assaulted (Rennison, 1999). These findings are concurrent with other studies that have been conducted by various researchers in both Canada and the United States (Koss, 1993; LoVerso, 2001; Bagley, 1984; DeKeserdy et al, 1993). Given the taboo around sexual assault and sexual abuse along with fears of not being believed and feeling somehow responsible for the assault, it is likely that these prevalence rates are underestimates of the true prevalence rates because of underreporting (Kahn and Andreoli, 2000)."

Abstract
The paper discusses dry-cell batteries which were invented as an alternative to higher leaking, long lasting batteries. Today?s advanced electronics are demanding more battery power and it is not unusual for a highly developed electronic item to go through two or three sets of batteries in a day. The paper shows that as technology advances, the stronger the battery demand and this brought about the invention of the dry-cell battery. The purpose of this technical research is to define dry cell batteries, their kinetic make-up, and how are they recycled.
From the Paper
"Recycling batteries saves the environment and ensures proper disposal. There are many programs which assist in helping individuals learns how to recycle batteries. There is one program called ?Charge Up To Recycle? which educates people on the recycling process, and the companies that recycle batteries. The objective of this program is to make everyone aware of the available services and encourage them to participate in recycling of the batteries. There are some battery recycle facilities that charge a small fee for used up batteries, but most of these facilities will take the batteries free of charge. The purpose of the battery manufacturers is to get everyone involved in recycling old batteries. Recycling batteries can be very beneficial to the air, eliminating lots of air pollution."

Abstract
In an attempt to determine whether a need exists in the U.S. to reform tort law, this paper first takes a brief look at the history of U.S. tort law and how it has evolved and changed over time. The paper then explains what the purpose of tort law is and looks at whether tort law has a practical application in today's society. The paper points out that there is very little reference to personal responsibility in tort law and suggests that, were the courts and the law to make personal responsibility a greater part of the legal proceedings concerning injured parties, there would, in fact, be no need for tort law.
From the Paper
"Over the past several years, the body of laws governing compensation for personal injury and property damage have been substantially reconsidered as flawed and outdated. In the course of what many have advocated in the name of "tort reform," more than half of the U.S. states have revised, or attempted to revise, one or more aspects of tort liability and/or damage principles to a greater or lesser degree. Tort law is, of course, constantly evolving; every day in courts across the country, judges ? and indirectly, attorneys and jurors ? are making and (re)shaping the law. Despite efforts for reform, one still cannot overlook the nature of modern torts and fail to see shades of American common law, as they were also a part of the preceding English common law."

Abstract
Disposable batteries have transformed the way that we live and the types of activities that we do. This discussion provides the reader with a natural history of disposable batteries from the time the raw materials are extracted from the earth to the time they are recycled or in a land fill. The environmental impact that batteries have along the path of creation, use, and disposal is also covered. This paper also discusses the peripheral impact of batteries, including how they are shipped, how much fuel is used, and how much pollution is created. Finally, it looks at the social impact of batteries and facts about the societies that make, use, and dispose of batteries.

Social Impact of Batteries
From the Paper
"The concept of batteries was first discovered between 1780-1786 by Luigi Galvani. Galvani found that connecting iron and brass created an electrical current. His ideas were expanded upon by Alessandro Volta from 1796 to 1799 with the creation of the voltaic electricity. Voltaic electricity was found when Alessandro experimented with stacking silver and zinc plates to create a pile and form the first dry battery. Volta also created the first ?crown of cups? which consisted of silver and zinc discs that were covered in a salt solution."

Sexual Assault Legislation, 2004.
A discussion of how the current Australian sexual assault laws do not adequately address society?s attitudes towards sexual assault.
4,296 words (approx. 17.2 pages), 16 sources, MLA, $ 113.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a number of central themes that help to outline how the current sexual assault laws are falling short of meeting community expectations because of the environment in which they operate and the way in which they are implemented. The paper discusses the law itself and explores the myths that pervade society illustrating how these affect the implementation of the law both outside and within the courtroom. The paper examines evidentiary procedures in sexual assault trials, the notion of consent, the belief of the accused, the chaste woman and sentencing.
From the Paper
"It is impossible to accurately measure whether the majority of society is more, or less, supportive of rape prone behavior. In any case, it is not that simple to draw the distinction. What I can say with a degree of optimism though, is that just as you didn?t have the same level of acceptance for alternative sexual preferences forty years ago, you also didn?t have the openness and sheer volume of discussion about sexual assault and the experiences of women who enter the legal system. It is my opinion that community attitudes, while they may always be diverse and divided, are generally becoming more sympathetic to the needs of women and less likely to tolerate a society that allows female subordination. It is a time of transition for the Western world and that is the positive stance I will be taking when I refer to ?society?s? attitudes. While the laws in their current form are an improvement and a beginning, it is the attitudes of those members of society who fall out of my definition, that need to change before they can be implemented in a way that is truly valuable to women."

Torts, 2002.
A comparison of aerial and maritime torts.
2,600 words (approx. 10.4 pages), 25 sources, MLA, $ 78.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how maritime torts and aerial torts play a slightly different role in the choice of law rules, when compared to other types of torts committed. This is mainly due to the nature of the tort and the extent of how far international law has slowly developed in relation to such issues as to maritime and aerial torts.
From the Paper
"The fundamental question that the forum court must determine is when the elements of a tort cross jurisdictional boundaries, whether or not the tort has occurred within its jurisdiction. In essence the first requirement for any court, invited to exercise jurisdiction and power over parties, is to establish (at least where there is a contest or doubt) that according to its own law it has jurisdiction and power over the matter before it. If not, it must decide what law or laws to apply in determining liability."
