Federal Regulation Of Advertising

Summary

Deontologists, focusing on the morality of actions, might support federal regulation of unhealthy food advertising to children if deemed inherently wrong. This is an ethical interpretation rather than a legal issue. Summary judgment is appropriate when no essential facts are in dispute, allowing the court to decide based on law. Federal court jurisdiction requires either a federal question or diversity of citizenship with over $75,000 in dispute. In civil cases, the plaintiff must prove by a preponderance of the evidence, not beyond a reasonable doubt. Appellate courts review trial records for legal errors, not conduct trials. Most ADR cases resolve through mediation or negotiation. Jurisdiction is a courts authority to decide a case. Stare decisis remains vital for legal stability. Generally, no legal duty exists to assist strangers in distress unless specified by law. The EEOC interprets the Civil Rights Act, presuming violations for English-only workplace rules without business necessity.
