Question

1. Harold lives in the apartment unit next to Amelia. She is the proud owner of a pit bull named Sickem. Pets are allowed in the rental complex, which is a primary reason why Amelia rents there. She was once accosted by a person during one of her regular jogging trips. Following that experience, she purchased the trained dog, Sickem, which accompanies her whenever she leaves her apartment. Frequently Harold encounters Amelia about the premises, with Sickem on a leash. Sickem always growls at Harold, stares at him with menacing eyes, and pulls on the restraining leash in a threatening way. Each evening, at a fairly late hour, Amelia lets Sickem run free outside for about sixty minutes. Harold is deathly afraid that sooner or later he will face Sickem in the dark and that Sickem will attack and perhaps maim or even kill him. Which of the following actions do you think Harold should take?

2. Ahmad, a Nigerian-born, Muslim, Black man was employed in the room-service department at Stockton Resort Hotel. He made several unsuccessful attempts to transfer to the marketing department. Ahmad had completed high school in Nigeria and received an undergraduate business degree in marketing at the University of the Pacific in Stockton. Last week he interviewed for a transfer again, and he did not get the new job. He found out later that another applicant had received the job, and that the other applicant had less experience and had not completed his college degree in business at SJDC. What legal arguments might Ahmad raise with Stockton Resort Hotel? What additional information would you want to know and seek during discovery?

3. Some claim that divorce is "the great American tragedy." Among measures suggested to reduce the divorce rate are higher age requirements for marriage, computerized analysis of personalities and backgrounds of prospective spouses, longer mandatory waiting periods after a marriage license is obtained, mandatory "marriage license training" (including instruction in the financial, social, psychological, and sexual aspects of marriage), trial marriage for a probationary period, and government day care centers for infants and preschool children to free parents from the burdens of childcare. What do you think should be done, if anything? Explain
