Your own argument and opinions.
Provide some authority for your argument such as quotes from the book
Did you agree or disagree with the rulings.
I didn't particularly agree with the rulings on overtime payments. I was overworked like a horse at my last job, constantly being left with another employee's shift when they didn't show up and left early. I was left alone at night, while two robberies occurred that month alone at the store. I also was given shifts that were illegal for me, a minor at the time, to work during. I know the company abused me as an employee because i was too dependent on the job to complain and risk being 'fired at will.' I think the government needs to regulate their overtime regulations.

Reasoning of the Law -- analysis of the thinking process and logic used by your lawyer
1. The lawyer says in this state, OC spray is legal to carry, with restrictions. Other items are: pepper spray, a pocket knife, (except in federal buildings etc.) of course, and with certification, a small handgun or taser gun. He also recommends carrying keys in your hand, between two fingers, an easy weapon in times of need, and not illegal.
2. You only need to tell a person once to stop contacting you, and after this, its called harassment. Unfortunately, without literally 'threatening calls or texts,' most companies cant be bothered to block the number for you without a police report. Have one of these completed right away, and in worst case scenario, you may need to change your number, unfortunately.

The Questions: Explain why these are of interest to you. What specific concepts and terms were involved – in other words, what are the legal issues?
1. What kind of defense mechanisms can women own and carry with them, that don’t require legal authorization or a license?
2. What is considered phone harassment enough to legally stop it?
3. who should you contact if a business acts so inappropriately or unfairly toward you, that you feel it’s a legal situation?
4. When is a utilities company required to send their customer’s checks? How long before payment is due must they mail it you?
5. In what cases are minors tried as adults?
6. Are the regulations for the number of animals that can be kept on a single area measurement?
7. What should you do if your original design is used and produced by your company, and you don’t remember ever signing a work-for-hire agreement?
8. How should you be paid for working overtime, involuntarily, and without prior notice?
9. if you are robbed while at work, should the company be held liable for your personal losses or injuries?
10. if you have belongings in someone’s car, which is later impounded, are you entitled to them back? And where are they taken to for picking up?

Week 10 EOC: Erin Brockovich v. Robert Kearns
Erin Brockovich and Flash of Genius, two films surrounding legal matters, have some obvious common traits. One, like stated, they both revolve around a legal situation. Both are about a person’s fight for justice, but Erin Brockovich was about restoring ethics, while Flash of Genius was focused on legal rights and infringement.
Erin Brockovich was about a woman’s fight to end a company’s abuse of a small town’s citizens via their water supply. The company had been dumping harmful waste in a town’s water supply, thinking it would go unnoticed. The people were unknowingly drinking dangerous water, which had dramatic effects on their health. She aimed to bring them justice.
Flash of Genius, however, was about a man, Robert Kearns, who was fighting for ownership of the patent for his original idea, which was stolen by Ford. He patented the intermittent windshield wiper, and presented in to Ford, who asked him to arrange pricing information. Kearns offered them this, and a sample unit. He was never contacted back, and realized that the company was mass-producing his original creation. Kearns then embarks on a quest for legal rights to his patented idea.
I felt Flash of Genius had a more saddening tone; and the overall story of his life went downhill hard, and at the very end it turned up. For Robert Kearns, while in the end he was awarded millions in court, he lost his family for some time, his marriage, his spirit, and was institutionalized briefly. This was on top of his already existing struggle with blindness in one eye.
Erin Brockovich, meanwhile, was serious and sad throughout, slightly more dramatic towards the climax, then improved quite a bit. Erin had a constant toil, but she didn’t suffer equally. Her strive ended with a large settlement as well, but the only remaining struggles were those of the people she defended, not her personally.
Flash of Genius, in my opinion, showed a more grueling fight for legal rights. It showed a harsher reality of the cost of getting justice, and side affects that come along the way. It makes you kind of question why justice is worth it, but then again, there’s that old saying: ‘If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.’
