Corporation Of The Presiding Bishop V. Amos, Matthew David Dimick Sep 1995

Corporation Of The Presiding Bishop V. Amos, Matthew David Dimick

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

The Supreme Court has long sought for a consistent principle in constitutional theory that will "be a master principle that can guide the interpretation of both religion clauses" (Tushnet, 1691). Indeed, at times both the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause seem to contradict. Such an instance arose in Corporation of the Presiding Bishop v. Amos. In this case the Court applied the religious accommodation principle to allow a religious group the right to remain an autonomous entity thereby maintaining protection guaranteed under the Free Exercise Clause, also recognizing "that the government may (and sometimes must) accommodate religious practices …

The Legacy Of The Brown Decision, Abbie Froerer Jan 1995

The Legacy Of The Brown Decision, Abbie Froerer

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

The landmark case regarding school desegregation, Brown v. Board o/ Education of Topeka, was brought by Oliver Brown on behalf of his daughter Linda. Under Kansas law, cities with populations over 15,000 were permitted, but not required, to provide two separate school facilities for white and colored students (Kansas. Gen. Stat. §72- 1724, 1949). Topeka chose to segregate its elementary schools. Consequently, Linda was forced to walk twenty blocks to attend an all-black grade school rather than attend the all-white one in her neighborhood. Several other black families joined the Browns in pursuing their goal.

Bowers V. Hardwick: Diverging Interpretations, Warren D. Leishman Jan 1995

Bowers V. Hardwick: Diverging Interpretations, Warren D. Leishman

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

Rarely does the serving of a simple misdemeanor warrant result in a case tried before the highest court in the land, but this is what happened to Michael Hardwick in August, 1982. Police officers arriving at his house were let in by a houseguest who led the policemen to the bedroom. At this point they stumbled upon Hardwick engaged in a sexual act with another man, an act which, under Georgia Code 16-6-2, constituted sodomy and was thus punishable "by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than twenty years." Michael Hardwick was arrested and charged, the first such …
