Working on my second paper for Jurisprudence


Well, here is my first official blog page!  After spending hours and years reviewing what other bloggers are doing around the world.   Its my turn now to share my experiences, so with that said let us begin.  Today I woke up around 11:30 am to begin finalizing my outline for a paper that I am working on in my Jurisprudence class.  Its due Wednesday  November 14, 2007.  I'm writing on a case that went before the Supreme Court, PGA TOUR v. Martin.  Martin is a professional golfer with a disability that causes acute pain when he walks.  His request to use a golf cart to alleviate the pain he suffers was denied by the PGA Board.  The PGA Tour claimed the "walking rule" was substantive to the nature of the competition and its purpose was to inject fatigue into players during an 18 hole competition.    Martin filed suit against the PGA Tour, in which, the Supreme Court ruled in his favor.  I'm writing in support of the Supreme Court's decision--arguing against the dissent written by Justice Scalia and Justice Thomas.  Wish me the best of luck--this is all new to me. 

My time is extremely limited, so this is probably the best time for me to stop free writing and get back to my term paper.  

Until next time, take care.
