John purchased a computer from Gateway, Inc. He noted upon starting it up that he had to agree to a number of provisions in the contract of purchase in order to continue his initial installation. The program indicated that if he did not wish to agree to the terms, he could return the computer to Gateway at Gateway’s expense. One of the provisions requires that any disputes arising under the contract agreement be submitted to binding arbitration for a resolution. If John continues with the installation will he be bound by the arbitration agreement? What if he would rather have his case heard in court? What will John’s rights be under the Gateway agreement?
The president and athletic director at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) fired the school’s basketball coach because an expense form he had submitted requesting a reimbursement that listed the names of two students he said had joined him for a recruiting dinner. When questioned, the students admitted they had not been to the dinner and knew nothing about it. The coach was stunned at being fired because he had been at UCLA for eight years and had established a winning basketball program. He said “And to throw it all away over a $100 meal?” Do you agree with the coach’s assessment? Was it too harsh to fire him over one inaccurate expense form? Why do you think the president fired him instead of a lesser punishment? Did the coach commit an ethical breach? Explain your answers.

She later developed an infection. What source of law determined the procedures Mary was supposed to follow in handling and disposal of blood and urine samples in her department? Explain you answer fully.

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument
