The Unsolved Mystery Of D.B. Cooper
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Thanksgiving Day, 1971, found people across the country - and likely around the world - discussing the daring hijacking pulled off the day before by Dan Cooper, a passenger on flight 305 of Northwest Airlines who - while in the process of paying the flight attendant for his drinks also handed her an extortion note - jumped ship, so to speak, with $200,000 ransom money and - as far as anyone can say with certainty - was never seen or heard from again. Indeed, there are more than a few theories about what ultimately happened after Cooper leapt from the Boeing 747 with little more than a standard parachute, however, any concrete evidence has long eluded the authorities. The interminable dead ends pursued by the FBI served to fuel the fire of speculation and intrigue into a case that had authorities from all ranks and departments combing "dense hemlock forests north of Portland" (Pasternack, 2000) only to come up defeated and empty-handed five months later. Cooper has since metamorphosed into a folk icon of sorts after more than three and a half decades of a case that will, in all likelihood, never be solved. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Use Of Cameras In UK Courtrooms
[ send me this essay ]
19 pages in length. The arguments on both sides of the courtroom camera issue are compelling representations of how an issue can be so hotly divided. By allowing cameras to record the courtroom proceedings, critics say it is nothing more than voyeuristic television; defenders, however, say it is the right of every UK taxpayer and victim's family to know exactly what goes on within the trial process. With a large number of groups and individuals working hard to close the courtroom off from live television cameras – and just as many striving for the opposite objective - it demonstrates the great lengths some people will go to protect personal privacy and public rights at the same time. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

The Use of Promissory Estoppel as a Shield and not a Sword: Canadian Cases and Arguments
[ send me this essay ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the concept of promissory estoppel as a shield and not a sword in consideration of Canadian legal cases. Promissory estoppel is a legal term based upon a principle where someone who has relied upon a gratuitous promise may be able to enforce it and based on one definition by the Legal Information Institute is stated as “the doctrine allowing recovery on a promise made without consideration when the reliance on the promise was reasonable, and the promise relied to his or her detriment”. Promissory estoppel is used as a defensive action and because of this is considered best used as a “shield” and not as a “sword” from a legal standpoint. Using Canadian cases which have utilized the promissory estoppel tool, defensively it is much easier implemented and easier to realize when a case fulfills the requirements for promissory estoppel. Cases which have attempted to use promissory estoppel as a “sword” have been less successful because often vital elements necessary for the fulfillment of promissory estoppel are not met such as agreement of action, equity, unambiguous consensus and consideration. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
