1] Critical legal thinking-
American Needle Inc vs. National League
Firms in a joint venture are affected by section 1 of Sherman Act, depending on where they engage in anti-competitive practices, whether they collaborate as independent entities or a single firm. The Sherman Act forbids attempts to restrain trade and monopolization. The actions of a joint venture may not necessarily be illegal but may harm competitiveness. There was no unethical conduct in this case since the NFLP and NFL merely made a business decision through joint activity to serve the interests of all the stakeholders. The joint ventures have some form of restraints on competition between a joint venture and parent or the parents. The Case of American Needle highlighted on that the functional characteristics of the parties to a joint venture are considered to determine the case of collaborations among competitors (Miller & Jentz, 2014).
2] Law case with answers- United States v. Capital City Foods, Inc
The Food and Drug Administration lodged a case against Capital City Foods, Inc having found fragments of insects and hair arguing that the company's butter was adulterated and hence violated provisions of the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (Cheeseman, 2013). The government was overzealous in an attempt to find out whether Capital City Foods, Inc complied with regulations, and there was no clarity on whether only the small sample was likely to contain the foreign particles from insect or rodents. The Case demonstrated that the environment may cause the contamination, even when a manufacturer has undertaken reasonable measures to ensure food safety. If informed about the presence of cooked insect and rodent parts in butter, I then would accept when there is certification that the foreign parts are minimal and have no negative health implications. However, there is a need to get more information from the FDA based on the information that they have gathered.
3] Critical legal thinking case
24.7 Endangered Species (p. 506); - Sierra Club v. Lyng, Secretary of Agriculture
The Forest Services charged with the protection of forest and the endangered species sought to lease some forests in Texas with a view of providing timber (Cheeseman, 2013). However, the red-cockaded woodpecker, found in US South depends on pine trees would likely have been endangered by this action. Sierra Club an environmental group was an interested party in the suit that stating the actions of the defendant violated provisions of Endangered Species Act. The Court held that preserving the endangered species was necessary and even had unforeseen benefits when there were some restrictions to clear cutting.
