His sales territory is restricted to the states of Iowa and Missouri. One of the benefits of working for Tough Tractor is that the sales executives are given a company car for business travel within their territory. However, one day Arlo decides to use his personal vehicle for driving to and from his meetings. Around 11 AM that day, he finishes a meeting in Burlington, IA, which is located on the Mississippi River, across from Illinois. Since Arlo’s next meeting is not until 1 PM in West Burlington, IA, he decides to crossover the bridge into Illinois to eat lunch at Marv’s Diner which is only 10 miles away. While at Marv’s, he runs into Josef, who is a customer from Fort Madison, IA. The two begin a lengthy conversation about new Tough Tractor products which Josef has an interest in buying. Around 12:40 PM, Arlo realizes that he needs to leave immediately, or he will be late to his next appointment. He attempts to cut-off the conversation, but Josef has poor hearing and becomes offended. As a result, he starts threatening Arlo who panics. He responds by punching Josef in the nose, breaking it, and knocking Josef out. Not wanting to be late for his 2 PM meeting, Arlo gets into his personal vehicle and races back into the state of Iowa. Just as he enters into West Burlington, he runs a stop light and collides with a car driven by Ana. She sustains serious injuries, and her car is totaled.

Discuss legal arguments that Ana and Josef could use against Tough Tractor. Would the doctrine of respondeat superior apply? Explain any legal arguments that Tough Tractors could use for its defense to avoid or minimize liability.
the video Racketeering: Module 5 of 5. may assist you in developing your initial response. One of the traditional problems with the legal system has been applying criminal statutes to entities such as corporations. At one time, laws did not extend to these organizations as they are considered an artificial person incapable of forming the mental intent to commit a crime. However, this viewpoint has changed drastically over the past 50 years and now business entities can be prosecuted for criminal violations. One of the most powerful and controversial applications of criminal law on business organizations is the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act or RICO. While the act was formed to fight organized crime syndicates such as the Mafia and motorcycle gangs, it has been routinely used in other situations. Review the resources and address the following: What must be proven to convict a defendant under the RICO Act? Describe the act of racketeering. Conduct research for a case involving the RICO Act (The Nexis UniLinks to an external site. database in the UAGC Library would be a useful source of information for this purpose). Briefly describe the facts of the case, the outcome, and any criminal convictions, as well as civil penalties that were given. In your opinion, do you believe that the RICO Act provides the government with too much power to prosecute crime? Why or why not? Consider the forfeiture actions that are used which are civil proceedings, not criminal.

Describe how a merchant is defined under the UCC. Why can this be an important concept in the sale of goods? Explain which law will govern a disputed contract if it involves both the sale of goods as well as an agreement to have services performed.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, review Chapter 9 of the textbook. Then address the following scenario: In 2002, Ken and Laila Johnson (the Johnsons) purchased a home for their son Evander. The original cost of the home was $80,000 and the Johnsons made a down payment of $10,000. The title to the property remained in their name as there was some concern about some gambling debt that Evander had incurred a few years before. At the time of the purchase, Evander was engaged to his long-time girlfriend Asa, who was a dentist. They moved into the house and agreed to pay the Johnsons $550 a month to cover the monthly mortgage and tax costs. In 2003, the couple married and continued to live in the house. In addition to making the monthly payments to Evander’s parents, they also made some substantial improvements to the property. However, some of these improvements were made without the consent of the Johnsons, including the installation of an in-ground swimming pool in 2017. In 2019, the Johnsons believed that they should give the property to their son and daughter-in-law. At this time, Ken discovered that this would require that the home be refinanced. He then approached Evander about this possibility, which was contingent on if the current mortgage would be paid-off and if they could be repaid the original down payment of $10,000. However, this proposal was never communicated to Asa and the property was never transferred. In 2022, Evander and Asa separated, and she moved out of the house. Subsequently, she filed for divorce. A primary reason for this dissolution was that she had earned most of the income during the marriage. In 2023, the Johnsons sold the property to a third-party for $280,000. Asa then sued the Johnsons for her interest in the property stating she had earned ownership through a contractual agreement with them. Discuss if a contract was formed between the Johnsons and Evander. How about between the Johnsons and Asa? Did the elements of valid contract exist in either of these situations? If the elements of valid contract did not exist, explain other legal arguments that Asa could use to establish an enforceable contract. Describe any damages or amount of money that Asa would seek in her lawsuit. How could the proper amount be determined?
1) For this week's assignment, please address the crime of rape in accordance with each of the theoretical perspectives. In other words, how would each theoretical perspective attempt to explain the crime and behavior of rape? Feminist perspective Psychopathological perspective Evolutionary perspective 2) Researcher Nick Groth developed a rapist typology that included three specific types or categories of rapists: The Anger rapist, the Power rapist, and the Sadistic rapist. Conversely, Roy Hazelwood and Ann Burgess developed a rapist typology based on offender motivation: The Power-assertive rapist, the Power-reassurance rapist, the Anger-retaliatory rapist, and the Anger-excitation rapist. Locate and research one real life rape case and discuss what typology of rapist the offender fell under using one of these theoretical frameworks (Groth or Hazelwood/Burgess) and explain why, based upon the behaviors or actions of the rapist, he (or she) fell under this selected category. Please be detailed with your reasoning or justification for selecting the typology based upon the offender's behaviors.
