In terms of poverty, international crime, and the possible loss of cultural identity, do you think that globalization has had a positive influence and affect on all countries of the world? Justify your answer and reasoning.
Article VI of the U.S. Constitution provides, in part,
“…This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding…”
This clause, often referred to as the Supremacy Clause, demonstrates that treaties are elevated to a status over that of state laws. While not done as clearly, courts have also given executive agreements that same elevated status. However, while treaties and executive agreements are supreme over state law, they are not necessarily equal to one another. Moreover, not all treaties are enforceable in domestic courts.
How and where treaties are enforceable has been a fluid concept in America’s history, and it remains so to this day. The article linked below examines the history of the enforcement of treaties in U.S. courts and where we stand today on the issue. The article also makes suggestions of how to better allow for direct enforcement of treaties.
Read the article critically, gauging your response to its conclusions.
Based on the journal article, consider the following questions:

Student Case Brief/Presentation Project
The basic purpose for briefing a case is to help you understand the particular legal issues of the case, learn the proper universally accepted format and to refresh your memory on the significant portions of the case later as needed.
Each student will brief a case in the requested format that deals with some aspect of the emergency services. Each individual will present their brief in class, explaining all pertinent facts, concluding with a discussion of how we personally can avoid such a pitfall. Your case must have been tried in a court of law and may not be taken from those listed in the texts.
Instead, you must perform credible research regarding your case (LexisNexis database; findlaw.com etc.) or another acceptable law specific database … not Wikipedia, a fire publication etc; seek librarian help if necessary.
Each brief should be at least 3 pages in length with a thorough discussion of potential policy implications as related to some aspect of the emergency services. The written brief will be worth 50 points, with another 50 points credited when adequately presented in class with a provided teaching outline (10 points extra credit if you attend all sessions of students briefing). Proper formatting, grammar and spelling will count for a significant part of your grade, so edit your work carefully. Your case brief must follow the model described in class. Briefs must be typed double-spaced with 1″ margins. No fonts larger than 12 point are to be used. You will be prepared to fully discuss/explain your findings in class
on the date as assigned.
