Joint Tenancy, Joint Occupancy, Death, and the Dissolution of a
Relationship
[ send me this paper ]
This 9 page report discusses the processes
involved when two couples purchase a home together. In the
situation outlined described in the report, the process of home
ownership is particularly complicated by the break-up of one
couple, the death of one of the two �beneficial joint tenants,�
the argument between two tenants, and the mother of the deceased
tenant�s insistence that she has a claim to the house. The
entire situation serves as an excellent example of how and why it
is important to assure that specific considerations be given to
exactly how a home-owning partnership is intended to work out in
even the so-called �worse-case scenario.� Concepts addressed
include: beneficial joint tenancy, owning �shares� in a property,
and disposition of an estate. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Judicial Reasoning
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Roland Case's "Understanding Judicial Reasoning : Controversies, Concepts, And Cases" addresses issues that society has been grappling with since the creation of the Constitution: How much of the law should be left up to personal interpretation and how much should be followed to the letter? Indeed, the extent to which contemporary judges impart their own legal perception is part and parcel to what Case attempts to tackle within the pages of his insightful account. Particularly interesting is how the author addresses three distinctive methods of reasoning that serve to define the decision-making processes of today's legal system, which include reasoning from interpretive guidelines; reasoning from prior cases; and reasoning from principle. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Judicial Review

(5 pp) In Federalist 78, Alexander Hamilton said
that "the judiciary... has no influence over either
the sword or the purse...it may truly be said to
have neither force nor will, but merely
judgment...the judiciary is beyond comparison, the
weakest of the three departments of power...".In

Hamilton's comments in light of recent Supreme
Court decisions.
