[ send me this paper ]
This 9 page paper answers two questions set by the student, both concerning tort law. The first advised different victims of an accident of any potential claim and looks at physical, psychological and purely economic harm. The second question evaluates a statement made by McNair J in the case of Bolam v. Friern (1957); “The test is the standard of the ordinary skilled man exercising and professing to have that special skill. A man need not possess the highest expert skill at the risk of being found negligent. It is a well established law that it is sufficient if he exercises the ordinary skill of an ordinary man exercising that particular art”. The writer cites numerous cases throughout the paper.

[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page review of Howard Jones’ “Mutiny on the Amistad”. Howard Jones’ 1987 book “Mutiny on the Amistad: The Saga of a Slave Revolt and its Impact on American Abolition, Law, and Diplomacy” tells of a true story which took place in 1839 and enhanced the cause of the abolitionists in the United States. The tale is about a group of Africans who were kidnapped for the slave trade, turn on their captors and take control of the ship Amistad. The captors, led by the 26 year old Joseph Cinque, hoped to return to their native Africa but instead ended up in New York harbour eventually begin arrested. Their case ended up in the Supreme Court which ruled in favour of the Africans who were allowed to return to their home country. The story turns from one of the dramatic events of the mutiny into the equally if not more dramatic events of the political system, the abolitionist movement and the international controversy which ensues.
