A US prison inmate who had complained of stomach pain was scheduled for a visit to a general practitioner a week after the initial symptoms occurred. The general practitioner prescribed him medication for acidity, but his stomach pain continued. The inmate continued to complain about his stomach pain for another three weeks, but was told to give the medicine more time to cure him.
The prison staff finally scheduled another visit to the general practitioner who in turn scheduled the inmate for test scans a couple of weeks later. The scans showed that the inmate was suffering from stomach cancer.
Surgery was performed immediately to remove the tumor. Surgeons also had to remove a part of his stomach during surgery.
The inmate sued the prison, claiming deliberate cruel and unusual punishment because of the time that passed between his initial complaints and diagnosis.
Support your responses with adequate research and supporting data. Review and comment on the submissions of at least two of your classmates by the end of the week.
Cite any sources using APA format on a separate page. Let’s learn how to cite sources using APA guidelines.

Chandler is a third-year law student in the state of Despair and is in the process of filling out his bar application. One question asks if the applicant has ever been convicted of a crime, including traffic-related violations. Chandler has a misdemeanor drunk driving conviction on his record. Chandler convinces himself that the authorities are really concerned only with felony convictions, and he answers no to the question. Six months later, Chandler takes and passes Despair’s bar examination and joins a large downtown law firm as an associate.
Chandler becomes friendly with Ross, another associate at the firm. One night, Chandler and Ross go out to dinner. Over drinks, Chandler confesses that he was once arrested and convicted for drunk driving. Ross asks him, “How did you handle that on your application for the bar?” Laughing, Chandler says, “Those knuckleheads never found out about the conviction. I didn’t put it on my application and they never asked.” The next day, now sober, Chandler notices that Ross is keeping his distance and acting remote and unresponsive. Fearful that Ross will report him to the grievance committee, Chandler goes to see Joey, an old family friend and well-known criminal defense attorney. Chandler asks Joey for advice on what to do now that Ross knows about the drunk driving conviction. Joey advises Chandler to notify the state bar about the conviction. Joey says, “Confession before Ross reports you is the best step. You’ve had a good record since you were admitted and the Committee may take no action. But you have to tell them.” Chandler leaves Joey’s office and does not notify the bar. Neither Ross nor Joey ever reports Chandler to the bar.
A year later, Chandler decides to move to the state of Nirvana. The bar application in Nirvana asks only if there have been any prior felony convictions. Chandler honestly replies no. Chandler asks Joey to write a letter of recommendation for his admission to the Nirvana state bar. Joey consents and sends the letter to the bar. Joey says nothing about his interview with Chandler or about his conviction. Chandler is admitted to practice law in the state of Nirvana.
Are Chandler, Ross, or Joey subject to discipline? Discuss.
KC Bunyan of the Mudville Nine came to bat in the ninth inning. In the first of his three at-bats, KC had hit a single, a double, and a triple. With a home run, KC would join an elite group of baseball players who had hit for the cycle in a single game.
With a full count, the opposing pitcher threw a blazing fastball over the outside corner of the plate. Casey connected, and the “cycle ball” soared into the sky. The cycle ball cleared the right-field bleachers, landed in the parking lot, and bounced high into the air. The ball came to rest in the front seat of Frank’s convertible, which was parked on a public street outside of the parking lot.
The parking lot attendant, Paul, who had been following the game of his radio, saw the cycle ball bounce into Frank’s car. Paul ran to the car, reached inside, took the cycle ball and put it in his pocket. Paul’s co-worker saw the incident and left a note on Frank’s windshield telling Frank what had happened. Frank read the note after the game ended and learned that the cycle ball had landed inside his car before Paul took the ball from the front seat.
Assume that Paul still has possession of the cycle ball. Frank has filed a conversion claim against Paul seeking the return of the cycle ball. How should the court rule on Frank’s conversion claim?

Assignment Instructions:
This assignment serves as a building block for your final thesis proposal. For this literature review, you need to select a substantive theory, either something that we discussed in the lesson, or something outside of the course, and focus your literature review around that theory. Your theory selection should make sense with the research question you intend to assess within your final research proposal. Since this is a literature review focused on a particular topic (i.e. the substantive theory) you will need to discuss the current state of the literature specific to that theory (for example, deterrence theory, social identity theory, and etc). You’ll want to start with a discussion on the early conceptualizations of the theory and how it has developed overtime. your conclusion should include a discussion on where the research on that theory needs to go next. What are some questions that remain? What new ways should it be applied?
Format: Standard academic format will suffice: 1-inch borders on all four sides, double spaced, with times new roman 12-point font. As with all academic assignments (unless otherwise specified) you must include a references section and list your references.
This literature review should include a critical review of at least 9-10 scholarly/peer-reviewed articles.
Since multiple writing styles are in use within this course, on your title page, please note which style you are using within your assignment. This will help me cater my comments to the style you are using. The style you use needs to be the one that is used within your program of study.
Total pages: 5 complete pages in length not including title page, or references.
I have also attached a synthesis matrix that should help you organize your notes as you go, as well as the grading rubric for this assignment.
Use the filename (no spaces): yourlastnameW4.doc to upload this file to the HW4 assignment.
As you proofread your assignment I encourage you to work with Belcher, Wendy Laura. 2009. “Editing Your Sentences” In Writing Your Journal Article in 12 Weeks: A Guide to Academic Publishing Success. Sage. This resource has a nice step by step process for enhancing your writing.
Note: As mentioned above this assignment is a building-block for your final assignment. In your research proposal in addition to synthesizing the literature on a theory, you will also need to synthesize the literature surrounding your topic you are looking to explore as well. This will serve as a preliminary literature review that helps to demonstrate the importance of the topic and show that it has not yet been addressed within the literature.
