Legal Issues

Case Study: You are a Legal Counsel at the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The President of the IOC comes into your office and tells you that the Organizing Committee of the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games (OCOG) have just issued a press release announcing that, because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the OCOG has decided to change the dates of the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games to 2023. The IOC was never consulted on this. Moreover, the press release states that following the President of the USA‘s false claims that the COVID-19 was created by Chinese scientists to destroy the US economy, the OCOG has decided that no American athletes will be allowed to participate in the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games. On top of that, the OGOC sent an invoice of 10 000 000 USD to the IOC with an accompanying email saying this was to cover the additional health measures that the OCOG would have to implement during the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games. The President is furious. He does not want the dates of the Games to be changed and he is strongly against the ban of American athletes. He also feels that the invoice related to the additional health measures should be paid by the OCOG and not the IOC. He wants to take the 2022 Olympic Games away from Beijing if they don’t rectify the situation soon. Knowing that you are the one who drafted and negotiated the Host City Contract with the OCOG and that you know the Olympic Charter by heart, he asks you to provide your legal opinion on this situation in a memorandum of maximum 2000 words. Your memorandum should clarify whether the recent actions of the OCOG were legal (according to the Host City Contract and the Olympic Charter) and it should propose a solution to make sure the OCOG rectifies the situation. If any communication is to be addressed to the OCOG, you should draft it for the President and include it in your memorandum. Formalities: – Maximum 2000 words – References and Appendix are excluded of the total wordcount – Font: Arial 12 pts – Text alignment: Justified – The in-text References and the Bibliography have to be in APA’s citation style It assesses the following learning outcomes: – Analyse, synthesise and evaluate the Host City Contract of the Olympic Games and the Olympic Charter and apply them to solve problems affecting sports and the law pragmatically. – Show a detailed knowledge of the legal and regulatory framework affecting sports and the law and an awareness of a variety of ideas, contexts and frameworks.

Nurse Jones works at Sunny Hospital, in   Nebraska. She also works occasional shifts   at Paris Lights, a residential Intensive Care   facility for individuals with developmental   disabilities (ICF-MR).       While working her shift at Sunny Hospital   she learns that Terrence Blue, a Direct Care   Worker at Paris Lights, has been admitted   to her floor and is diagnosed with   Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus   (MRSA).’   MRSA is a bacterium responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans because the bacterium has a strong resistance to most antibiotics and is very difficult to treat.   MRSA is very concerning in settings where patients have open wounds, invasive devices, and/or weakened immune systems as these patients are at greater risk of infection than the general public. In certain patients, a MRSA infection can prove fatal.   Nurse Jones is aware that one of the residents at Paris Lights where Terrence works [Barry Black] has a very weakened immune system, and any exposure to MRSA could be dangerous.   Terrence is discharged from the hospital and given a special course of antibiotics to treat his condition. When Nurse Jones arrives at her next shift at Paris Lights about a day after Terrence’s discharge from the hospital, she notices from the client treatment records that Terrence has been working with Barry Black over the past two weeks.   Answer the following questions with an abstract, title page and reference page.    1. Is Nurse Jones’ disclosure to Paris Lights of Terrence’s condition permitted and/or required by state or federal law?   2. If you have determined that Ms. Jones cannot disclose Terrence’s condition legally, is there anything else Nurse Jones can do regarding the information about Terrence’s condition?

Short Answers 2 Prompts: “Notice and Opportunity” Potomac, the operator of a cable television system by virtue of a non-exclusive franchise granted by the City in 1995, is suing the City. In its complaint, Potomac alleges that the City is now offering cable television services directly to city residents via a fiber-optic cable network that the City has constructed. Potomac asserts that the City’s operation of the cable television system is unlawful because the city council’s decision to start its own cable service was made in a meeting closed to the public in an executive session and that it should have been decided and voted on by the City Council in a public meeting. In your first short answer for this assignment, based on the informal rule making procedures described as “notice and comment,” explain whether or not Potomac will win its lawsuit. Then, in your second short answer, explain the 3 separate concerns to keep in mind with “notice and comment” rulemaking.

Hypothetical: A prominent athlete has a multimillion-dollar endorsement contract with an athleisure clothing company for advertising and marketing. The contract includes a morality clause allowing the company to terminate the contract without penalty if the athlete is charged with a crime more than a misdemeanor, found guilty of any crime, or engages in any outrageous act which brings negative publicity to the company. It is reported that the athlete is an admitted sex addict, is engaged in multiple affairs while married to his wife, and is seeking treatment for prescription drug addiction. No criminal charges are brought and he is not convicted of a crime. The company, ACME, wants to terminate the contract. What would each side argue their case? Which argument do you think is more persuasive? How could future endorsement contracts be drafted to avoid this potential problem? Please make sure to use LEGAL PERSPECTIVE and argue both sides and provide evidence.

When looking at the relationship between social justice and juvenile justice, there are two overarching concepts when addressing juvenile delinquency: treatment and punishment. These two concepts have driven a cycle of changes in the juvenile justice system over the years. Your task is to support your premise that your state or city should implement a philosophy of treatment for juvenile offenders, punishment, or a combination of the two (i.e., treatment and punishment) for a specific crime or criminal justice issue identified in your paper. In your paper, Explain the differences between the treatment and punishment concepts. Examine types of treatment versus types of punishment for juvenile crimes. Build the case for which one (i.e., treatment, punishment, or combination of both) you believe has the stronger position based on your research and the specific juvenile crime to which you will apply the concepts of treatment and punishment. The crime you choose can be violent (e.g., homicide, sexual assault, etc.) or non-violent (e.g., drug possession or sales, theft, etc.). Select your city (or state) and one other jurisdiction in the United States. Identify the prevailing thought in your city (or state) as well as the other jurisdiction you chose (i.e., treatment, punishment, or a combination). Analyze which of the two jurisdictions has lower recidivism rates. Identify whether the recidivism rate is the best indicator of success or failure of treatment versus punishment philosophy. Explain why or why not. Examine scholarly research on the most effective strategies for reducing juvenile crime rates. Identify which strategy or combination of strategies the research appears to support. Identify whether it is based on type of crime. Explain whether a given strategy works best depending upon the nature of the crime (i.e., violent vs. non-violent). Support which juvenile justice intervention strategy would be most effective to counter the crime or criminal justice issue based on your research. Summarize which concept (i.e., treatment, punishment, or combination) best supports the overarching concept of social justice. Scholarly sources only.

Jack fell and broke his ankle and was taken to the hospital ER via ambulance.  A cast was applied after it was determined the ankle did not need surgery.  Jack missed three weeks of work because of the injury.  Instructions   Report You Need To Prepare: You must prepare a report addressed to Winnie and Ralph.  Winnie and Ralph will use the report in discussion with the Clean owners.  The report must address each of the following points: 1. Analyze whether Jack has a negligence claim against Client A. 2. Identify any potential defenses that Client A may raise in response to Jack’s negligence claim.  The analysis must explain why the defense may be raised. 3. Given the negligence claim and the potential defenses, draw a conclusion as to whether Jack or Client A should prevail in the lawsuit.  The facts and the law must support the conclusion.
