Ronald Dworkin, Interpretation, and “Bleak House”
[ send me this paper ]
This 15 page report discusses the contemporary legal philosopher, scholar, and writer, Ronald Dworkin and his thoughts regarding interpretation and uses Charles Dickens’ 1853 novel “Bleak House” as a means of comparison for the modern legal system. “Bleak House” presents the picture of a world in which the judicial system and its apparently never-ending lawsuits suck the life and energy out of the people involved in them. In Ronald Dworkin’s opinion, each and every legal interpretation applied in the judicial system demonstrates a rudimentary theory that makes a statement about the general character of modern law. Dworkin believes that there is a “best reading” of a text and that reading can lead to a more efficacious route toward justice. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Same-Sex Marriage -- Issues and Case Law
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses legislation and court decisions prohibiting or supporting same-sex marriages. Those who want to make their legal point in favor of the legality of same-sex marriages point to the fact that banning same-sex marriage is fundamentally discriminatory. Their opponents make their objections based on the belief that marriage is about procreation and that same-sex marriages would actually add to taxpayer burden since gay couples would be eligible for federal benefits and tax breaks. However, one of the strongest points made by those opposed to such unions is that one state court (or even several) should not dictate marriage laws for the entire nation. Various case law related to the issue are briefly examined -- Baehr vs. Lewin, Bowers v. Hardwick, Romer v. Evans, Loving v. Virginia, and Stan Baker et al. vs. State of Vermont. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
