Individual: touch you and you bleedi. Does not mean corporations1. Who talks for the corporation? The officer called in to talka. You are testifying as the corporation; you will be the one to go to prison as the officer of the corporationc. If your boss tells you to do something illegal and you don’t, you could be firedi. Could lose benefits (healthcare)ii. Not always black and white, lots of areas of grey in ethical issueiii. However, if something is illegal, don’t do it1. Boss will probably throw you under the busd.

How fairly though?e. 2 types of due processi. Substantive due process: way the law was originally written has to be capable of giving you due process1. Problem: Jim Crow laws written in way that couldn’t possibly give people due process2. Now you have help to help you write law that makes you capable of getting due processii. Procedural due process: step by step process they take you through a criminal case1. Depending on what government is taking away from you determines how much due process you get2. 2 tiereda. Economic: not much at all; a legitimate reasoni. Imminent domain: government can take property if they need it1. They have to give you just compensation; will not give you fair market valueii. Kelo case: New London1. Man owned property; because of who he was, he claimed exemptions and didn’t pay taxes2. In an area with a lot of businessesa. If businesses built on it, they would get a lot of tax money3. Used imminent domain, condemned it and took land from hima. City sold it to developer for much higher price, who paid more in taxes4. Kelo: that’s wrong, only took it for economic reasons, no rational basisa. Court: city wanted to make moremoneyb. Left door open: If states disagree, states can pass laws to slow imminent domainiii. Under 21, if alcohol is within arm’s reach, given MIPiv. If cop wanted to give every minor in a bar an MIP, they couldv. Northgate: back door of Freebird’s1. Out of place building2. Property condemned from people that owned to make parking space3. Decided instead to rent it out to make more money4. Original owners challenged that in court, saying it was worth more as a business establishment than a parking place, so they didn’t get correctly compensated/due process5. Court said they did, and they lost the caseb. Taking away your lifei. Capital murder: defendant gets the utmost in due process1. Once you’re dead, you’re dead2. Get re-tried based on technicalitiesii. Example: client arrested for killing girl, raping her and stealing jewelry1. Murder + sexual assault = capital murder2. Murder + stealing = capital murder3.

Lots of pretrial hearings to determine status of divorce case7. Texas: Husband/Wife privilege where woman can’t testify against what her husband said to hera. That’s what a judge thought8. Believed it covered symbolic speech andactual speecha. She couldn’t testify to what she saw OR heard9. Premise: wife was bitter10. He was convicted to death; appeals begana. Asked for everything possible out of the file to be included in the appealb. If you don’t get it, violation of due process, new trialc.
