When the justices of the Supreme Court assemble each day, each justice shakes hands with each of the other justices. The total number of handshakes $h$ possible for $n$ people is given by $h = \frac{n^2-n}{2}$. Write and solve an equation to determine the number of justices on the Supreme Court.

The “Conference handshake” has been a tradition since the late $19$th century. Each day, there is a total of $36$ handshakes by the justices.

Solve the following problem.

According the U.S. Department of Justice, the following table gives the number (in thousands) of violent crimes committed in the given years.

(a) Let x = 4 correspond to the year 2004. Find a quadratic function f(x) = a(x-h)$^2$+k that models these data using (6, 1418) as the vertex and the data for 2009.

(b) Estimate the number of violent crimes in 2012.

A case involving the Wendy's fast-food chain made national headlines when a woman claimed she had found a finger in her bowl of chili. The restaurants became the butt of jokes (some said they served nail clippers with their food instead of forks), and sales dropped dramatically at the company's franchises. This forced layoffs and reduced hours for many employees-until the woman was arrested for fraud. Consumers commonly file lawsuits against companies to claim damages if a product or service didn't work as expected. In some cases, the defendant just settles the suit to make it go away because it costs more to mount a defense than to just pay damages. Do we have too many frivolous lawsuits? Does our justice system adequately meet the needs of both consumers and companies in terms of how it awards damages?

From the list below, supply the words needed to complete the paragraph. Some words will not be used. adulation jocose frugal barrister acquit chastise myriad deprecate B. "What are you being so ___ about? We're in a courtroom, you fool; shut up," Scolded by his only friend in the room, Giles stopped laughing but maintained his crooked smirk. His ___ was quickly losing patience; both he and Giles knew that there was no chance that the judge was going to ___ him. This was his second appearance before Justice Quentin, and by the way in which the judge ___ Giles during the previous trial, he knew that he wasn't going to get away this time. As the smirk faded, Giles wished that he hadn't been so ___ while shopping for lawyers.

The following selections were originally submitted as letters to the editor of newspapers and magazines. Determine which of them can, with good reason, be considered arguments. In those that can, identify the conclusion. What this country needs is a return to the concept of swift and certain justice. If we need more courts, judges and prisons, then so be it. And as for capital punishment, I say let the punishment fit the crime. When criminals behave more like humans, then we can start to treat them more humanely. In the meantime, I would like to see the Night Stalkers of our society swiftly executed rather than coddled by our courts and prisons.

In 2002, the mean age of an inmate on death row was 40.7 years, according to data from the U.S. Department of Justice. A sociologist wondered whether the mean age of a death-row inmate has changed since then. She randomly selects 32 death-row inmates and finds that their mean age is 38.9, with a standard deviation of 9.6. Construct a 95% confidence interval about the mean age. What does the interval imply?

Each of the following passages contains a single argument. Using the letters “P” and “C,” identify the premises and conclusion of each argument, writing premises first and conclusion last. List the premises in the order in which they make the most sense (usually the order in which they occur), and write both premises and conclusion in the form of separate declarative sentences. Indicator words may be eliminated once premises and conclusion have been appropriately labeled. As the denial or perversion of justice by the sentences of courts, as well as in any other manner, is with reason classed among the just causes of war, it will follow that the federal judiciary ought to have cognizance of all causes in which the citizens of other countries are concerned.

Mark Wooden sent an e-mail to an alderwoman for the city of St. Louis. Attached was a nineteen-minute audio le that compared her to the biblical character Jezebel. e audio said she was a “bitch in the Sixth Ward,” spending too much time with the rich and powerful and too little time with the poor. In a menacing, maniacal tone, Wooden said that he was “dusting o a sawed-o shotgun,” called himself a “domestic terrorist,” and referred to the assassination of President John Kennedy, the murder of federal judge John Roll, and the shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giords. Feeling threatened, the alderwoman called the police. Wooden was convicted of harassment under a state criminal statute. Was this conviction unconstitutional under the First Amendment? Discuss. [State of Missouri v. Wooden, 388 S.W.3d 522 (Mo. 2013)]
