REVIEW QUESTION SOLUTIONS
1. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects students’ rights to keep
their academic records private. What duties are imposed and upon whom because of this
protection of rights? Discuss the relationship between rights and duties.
Solution:
The right is the student’s and is one that allows students to have their grades remain
private. The schools have a duty to ensure grades are not released to third parties without
permission of the student.
2. List the sources of law.
Solution:
Statutory law, such as ordinances, case law, precedent, common law, uniform state laws,
constitutions, administrative regulations, and treaties.
3. Jazwares’ Squishmallows (part toy and part plush pillow) gained popularity during COVID
as a quasi-comfort pet. Jazwares has filed 36 lawsuits against several copycat producers of
similar pillow-toys. Jazwares’ biggest suit so far involves Build-A-Bear’s Skoosherz.
Skoosherz are plush pillows with a shape similar to Squishmallows but having human
faces. What areas of law are involved in Jazwares’ suits? What remedies could Jazwares
obtain?
Solution:
Federal copyright law would apply. There are property rights being protected. Like the
example of the Louboutin red-sole shoes, the real remedy needed is an injunction to stop
the production of toys that are a copy of a copyrighted design.
4. Classify the following laws as substantive or procedural:
a. A law that requires public schools to hold a hearing before a student is expelled.

b. A law that establishes a maximum interest rate for credit transactions of 24%.
c. A law that provides employee leave for the birth or adoption of a child for up to 12
weeks.
d. A law that requires the county assessor to send four notices of taxes due and owing
before a lien can be filed (attached) to the property.
Solution:
a. Procedural
b. Substantive
c. Substantive
d. Procedural
5. What do uniform laws accomplish? Why do states adopt them? Give an example of a
uniform law.
Solution:
Law is not uniform throughout the United States because of a historical accident: the
United States was never a single nation. As of now, there are 50 state governments and a
federal government within the area we call the United States. This means that 51 political
bodies have the freedom to make their own law (provided constitutional rights are not
violated). As a practical matter, this has not resulted in 51 different sets of rules of law
because the common law has tended to dominate the legal system of most communities.
As stated in the text, the uniform laws have been a “nationalizing” force. It is likely that
among areas that are truly “in business,” there will be greater uniformity in the near
future. In contrast, as to other matters where the need for uniformity is not as great, we
can expect local variations in the law, encouraged by local economic and cultural
differences. The Uniform Commercial Code and Uniform Partnership Act are examples of
uniform laws.
6. Cindy Nathan is a student at West University. While she was in her 9:00 A.M. anthropology
class, campus security entered her dorm room and searched all areas, including her closet
and drawers. When Cindy returned to her room and discovered what had happened, she
complained to the dorm’s senior resident. The senior resident said that this was the
university’s property and that Cindy had no right of privacy. Is the senior resident’s
statement correct? Is there a right of privacy in a dorm room?
Solution:
Several issues should be raised:
a. Terms and conditions of dorm residency
b. Access issues and safety issues
