CASE

1. Jacob just won the state lottery. Discuss his right to privacy.

ANS:
Within the context of the Fourth Amendment, Jacob continues to be protected to the same extent he was prior to winning. Regarding his right to be protected from intrusions by others, however, he most likely will have to give up some privacy rights because of his good fortune; that is, although he remains a private citizen, he will not have quite the same degree of privacy protection in this arena as he had before winning the lottery.

2. A new state law mandates that all employers must prohibit smoking on employer premises. The law further provides that any employer who allows an employee or a client/ customer to smoke on its premises is subject to a court order requiring the employer to enforce the law. Describe this statute in terms of all possible classification methods.

ANS:
The law is substantive because it defines rights and liabilities of business owners. The law is also equitable, based on the remedy of specific performance, since it subjects the employer to a court order requiring the employer to actually do something; i.e., forbid smoking on its premises.
