The number of people who are released from state and federal prisons each week in the United States is staggering. Research tells us a high percentage of those released from prison will re-offend and return to prison or jail. There has to be a solution to the prisons revolving doors. The criminal justice policy on correctional treatment and rehabilitation may be the solution to this problem. What if those offenders preparing to exit prison completed a correctional treatment program that enabled them to be successful with their families, in their finances, and employment? What if those convicted on minor, non-violent crimes were able to receive rehabilitation that empowered them to become contributing members of society and never return to jail?

What if those offenders preparing to exit prison completed a correctional treatment program that enabled them to be successful with their families, in their finances, and employment?

Why is STI considered a scientifically controversial strategy? Suggest three biological reasons why STI could be advantageous. Predict what will happen to the virus over time if patients are then allowed to resume their HAART therapy after STI. Propose situations in which the STI approach may not be recommended or effective in some HIV-positive people. How would a physician be able to tell if STI is working?

Assume instead that the Smiths asked Mrs. Smiths sister, Caroline, who lived nearby, to help with the housekeeping. After eighteen months, Caroline claimed she was entitled to the reasonable value of the services performed. Argue either side.Joan called Devon Sand & Gravel and ordered two boxes (dump-truck loads) of gravel to be spread on her rural driveway by the shoot and run method: the tailgate is partially opened, the dump-truck bed is lifted, and the truck moves down the driveway spreading gravel as it goes. The driver mistakenly graveled the driveway of Joans neighbor, Watson, instead of Joans. Would Devon be entitled to payment by Watson?
Give IRAC arguments for each scenario please. The scenarios are from the textbook end of chapter questions.A. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, an elderly couple, had no relatives. When Mrs. Smith became ill, the Smiths asked a friend, Henrietta, to help with various housekeeping chores, including cleaning and cooking. Although the Smiths never promised to pay her, Henrietta performed the chores for eighteen months. Henrietta claimed that she was entitled to the reasonable value of the services performed. Argue either side.1.B. Assume instead that the Smiths asked Mrs. Smiths sister, Caroline, who lived nearby, to help with the housekeeping.

However, shortly after mailing the letter, Kate had second thoughts and called Joe to advise him that she was rejecting his offer. The call was made before Joe received the letter of acceptance. The issue is whether a contract has been formed and if it has, what kind of contract was formed.Duke decided to sell his car. The cars muffler had a large hole in it, and as a result, the car made a loud noise. Before showing the car to potential buyers, Duke patched the hole with muffler tape to quiet it. Perry bought the car after test-driving it. He later discovered the faulty muffler and sought to avoid the contract, claiming fraud. Duke argued that he had not committed fraud because Perry had not asked about the muffler and Duke had made no representation of fact concerning it. The issue is whether Duke had committed fraud.Joseph Hoffman alleged that Red Owl Stores promised him that it would build a store building in Chilton, Wisconsin, and stock it with merchandise for Hoffman to operate in return for Hoffmans investment of $18,000. The size, cost, design, and layout of the store building was not discussed, nor were the terms of the lease as to rent, maintenance, and purchase options. Nevertheless, in reliance on Red Owls promise, the Hoffmans sold their bakery and grocery store business, purchased the building site in Chilton, and rented a residence there for the family. The deal was never consummated: a dispute arose, Red Owl did not build the store, and it denied liability to Hoffman on the basis that its promise to him was too indefinite with respect to all details for a contract to have resulted. The issue is whether Hoffman was entitled to some relief? On what theory?IRAC: In this course, students will be expected to use the IRAC method of analyzing legal problemsand issues.

All extended response questions on quizzes and weekly writing assignments will be evaluated using the IRAC framework. See sample IRAC arguments in Brightspace. o I: Issue: The issue is whether …. o R: Rule: The rule of law (for the issue) is …. o A: Analysis: The facts of the case are … and apply to the rule of law by … o C: Conclusion: Therefore, … Additional Course Policies and Procedures: The only news media sources allowed are: 1) the Washington Post; 2) the Wall Street Journal; 3) the New York Times; and 4) Investors Business Daily.
