    Plaintiff Wendling, who was a farmer and stockman, met Defendant Puls, who was a cattle buyer in July 1973. The two got to talking and Wendling informed Puls that there was a possibility that he would have cattle for sale around mid August. On August 13th, Puls received a call from Wendling letting him know that he had cattle ready to be sold. The two later met, along with Puls’s financial assistance Watson and agreed on a sales price based on the weight of the cattle on August 16th. Puls left a deposit of 1,000 dollars with Wendling for the cattle. On the scheduled date for pick up, Puls requested an additional week for delivery of the cattle. Needless to say, after the week went by there was no sign of Puls. He failed to respond to any of phone calls or messages left by Wendling. When he was finally able to reach Puls on August 27th, he learned that Puls didn’t have a place to store the cattle. Since there were so many issues, Wendling asked Puls for an additional down payment, which was refused by Puls. Puls went on to suggest that maybe he should just sell his cattle to someone else. At that time, Wendling suggested to Puls that he provide him with a written release, which he just ignored. Wendling went on to seek legal advice and was advised to get a written release from Puls before engaging in another sale of the cattle. Wendling tried to reach Puls, but was unsuccessful; however he was able to reach Watson. He asked Watson if they both would meet him at his lawyers’ office, so that he could obtain a release from the contract in order…

    The supreme court case Carpenter v. United States is arising the question of whether the warrantless search and seizure of cell phone records revealing the movement of the user over the course of 127 days. After four people were arrested for a series of armed robberies, one confessed and gave his phone number as well as the others. As a result of this more chargers were placed on Carpenter for interfering with interstate commerce, because of the Hobbs Act. This case is using the fourth amendment and arguing that his phone being searched was an “unreasonable search or seizure”. I think that the US or FBI is right in this case, since Carpenter had already committed multiple armed robberies and the information was provided by another person who…

    In the Texas vs Cobb case a man named Raymond Levi Cobb was first arrested in 1994 and confessed to a home burglary. In this process he denied that he killed the woman and child in the home but later confessed to his father which his father then went to report this to the police. Even though Cobb later waived his Miranda rights and confessed he was still indicted and sentenced to death.

The Court later said that the right to counsel carries onto the reason charged if any other offenses are closely related to the case. It was then declared with a five to four vote under…

    It is good that most disputes are settled before reaching the Supreme Court because like previously stated, the Supreme Court does not have the capacity to decide on every legal dispute. In fact, an extremely small portion of cases reach this level because this legal of jurisdiction is for the most controversial and influential cases. Many cases are settled before even going to an actual trial. This allows the courtroom workforce to save time, money, and the effort of a tedious trial. In the Buffalo Creek Case, the ability to settle before going to trial ensured that the victims of the disaster would receive the most money they could without waiting out even longer for a trial.…
