Agency and Employee Accountability in Cases of Negligence: The Legal Issues of Employee Credibility and Training
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page assertion that our educational arena has been subject to many challenges and disappointments. At the center of many of these is the issues of employee credibility and training. That the educational system has a problem is not an issue of contention. What is questionable in the current day legal environment, however, is whether or not employees and school districts can be held legally liable for the educational inadequacies which result from inadequate teacher qualifications and training. This paper utilizes the Supreme Court cases of Monroe Vs Pape (1961), Monell Vs Dept of Social Services (1978), City Of Oklahoma Vs Tuttle (1984), Daniels Vs Willaims (1986), Davidson Vs Cannon (1986), and City of Springfield Vs Kibbe (1987) to add insight to that question. All illustrate the delicate balance between employee liability and negligence on the part of the agency when employee credibility is challenged. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Altering Policy Through Court Appointments
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper arguing that Court appointments provide an effective means of changing policy. Each of the justices of the Court obviously knows the letter of the law being used to assess the merits of the cases they hear. Final outcome often depends on the results of previous appointments made to the Court by various United States presidents. As our law is dynamic and subject to different outcomes according to argument and interpretation, those wishing to alter policy are most likely to achieve their goals through the appointment of those known to be ideologically aligned with them. Bibliography lists 1 source.
