Topic:
The highest court in
the United States of America is the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is always thrust in front
of our faces when there is a vacancy. Over
the last few years, there have been three new appointments to the Supreme
Court; Justice Kavanaugh, Justice Barrett, and Justice Brown Jackson.
As we all know, the
nomination for such a prestigious seat is very political. I want to explore
this in the context of business. Should
businesses be concerned as to who it appoints to the highest court of the
land? We can assume that major
corporations should be concerned, but what
about our little “Mom and Pop” businesses?
These are some things that I want you to think about prior to writing
this final paper. We study cases all semester, but I find many students do not
understand how the law is applied by the Courts. You will explore this and apply this to your
writing.
Parts I – IV Guided Research – The following questions
should be answered within your paper.
Part I:
Examine the highest court of law in the United States and address
the following:
¨
I was
once told that Supreme Court Judges were supposed to be neutral and fair. If this
is so, and you are in business why does it matter if it is a Republican nominee
or a Democratic nominee, does it really matter? What is the fuss all about? Explain
with factual information not just your random opinion.
Part II:
¨
We know that there are several layers to our
court system, but how does a case end up before the United States Supreme Court
for review?
¨
Does the United States Supreme Court make the
laws and/or merely apply the laws? Explain
¨
How does a Court apply the law? Explain
¨
What is a Landmark case? Explain
¨
What is “originalism”, and how may it be use by
a Supreme Court Justice? Explain

¨
Explain what an Amicus Curiae brief is and how
it may be used by a Justice.
¨
How are final decision made by the United States
Supreme Court?
¨
Can
anyone other than the Supreme Court change a final US Supreme Court
decision? Explain
Part III:
Research 5
(five) United States Supreme Court cases that have involved business
activities (examples: employment and labor, contract, white collar, regulatory,
intellectual property) . The cases must have been decided between 2016 and
2022. Please note: The cases you present must involve business issues reviewed
by the United States Supreme Court that DIRECTLY relate to business.
Address the
following:
¨
Identify what proposed area(s) of law have been
violated.
¨
Provide the details of the case.
¨
Identify the final decision, and explain the
rationale behind the final decision made by the US Supreme Court.
Part IV: The Conclusion
This paper should be
concluded by addressing the question as I presented in the narrative above………….
Why should ALL business
owners, large and small, be cognizant of how laws are interpreted and applied
within the United States Supreme Court?
