Barry is a police officer from Texas visiting California.  While passing through a metal detector to enter an LA dance club, security officials there discovered that he was carrying a loaded gun.  Barry showed the security officials his police badge, but they called the Los Angeles Police Department anyway and Barry was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. The applicable statute provides that “it shall be unlawful for any person to possess a firearm in a public place except for law enforcement officers from this jurisdiction.”  During the court proceedings against him, Barry’s lawyer argued that the law in Texas allows off-duty police officers to carry firearms.  Under questioning from the Judge, Barry’s lawyer responded that the statute is ambiguous and that Barry acted in good faith and should not be held criminally responsible. Assume this jurisdiction follows the Model Penal Code. A court is likely to find Barry:

Able robbed a 7-11 store around 4AM in the morning, drove about a half hour to his residence where he went inside, cooked a bowl of oatmeal and counted his money. After reflecting on his financial situation, Able headed to his ex-wife’s residence to give her $2000 for child support payments that he had missed. On the way there, a police cruiser pulled Able over to the side of the road. As the officer approached the driver’s side of the car, Able rolled down the window and shot and killed the officer. Assume that Able was later arrested. A court in a common law jurisdiction is most likely to find that:

Which of the following correctly matches the hormone with its function in the female reproductive cycle?

Explain Thomson’s account of the “trolley problem” by briefly describing both (1) the Bystander’s Two Options case and (2) the Fat Man case. Also describe the common moral judgment about each case (would it be permissible to take the action in question?) and how that creates a problem. Finally, explain how Thomson proposes to resolve the trolley problem in “Turning the Trolley.” Which of the common moral judgments about the cases does she reject, and why? (If she gives more than one argument to support her judgment about the case, you need only describe one of her arguments.)

In the course of defending his view that fighting on the unjust side of a war is morally wrong, McMahan considers the objection that “war is analogous to a boxing match.” First, briefly explain McMahan’s argument that fighting on the unjust side of a war is morally wrong. Why is it wrong, in his view? Second, according to the objection, in what way is war analogous to a boxing match? What feature do they have in common? Third, describe any one of McMahan’s responses to the objection. (Note: He gives more than one objection, but for this question you only need to describe one of them.)

McMahan describes a scenario that he calls the Conscientious Driver case: “A person who always keeps her car well maintained and always drives carefully and alertly decides to drive to the cinema. On the way, a freak event that she could not have anticipated occurs that causes her car to veer out of control in the direction of a pedestrian.” First, explain the culpability account (what makes it permissible to kill someone in self-defense on that account?) and how it applies to the Conscientious Driver case. Second, briefly describe McMahan’s own account of self-defense (the responsibility account) and how it applies to the Conscientious Driver case. Finally, in your view, which account has the more plausible result in this case? Do you think the pedestrian is permitted to kill the driver in self-defense (assuming there is no other way out of the situation), or would that be morally wrong?
