Based on the information you've provided, it seems that the initial justification for the DUI charge and subsequent charges may have been flawed, as the arresting officer's suspicion of opioid use was not supported by the blood test results. This could potentially form the basis for... View More

The legality of the Anchorage Museum's policy of offering free admission exclusively to Alaska Natives, while partially funded by the city, raises questions under both state and federal law. Such policies must comply with anti-discrimination laws, including the Equal Protection Clause of the... View More

You are perhaps referring to the Alaska laws allowing the sale of marijuana by certain regulated companies? Generally the constitutionality of state laws, such as these, restricting the transaction of certain business to Alaska residents would have to be litigated on a case-by-case basis.
Senerio: A and B trespass. C asks them to leave and they refuse. C leaves and returns with D who has a shotgun. D tells A and B to leave and they do but file a false report saying D pointed gun at them. During trial A and B are allowed to take the stand and state what D said and did (all of... View More

Perhaps speaking with his coach will help. Have you read all there is to read about the school policies regarding these matters?

Strictly speaking, yes; but the Fourteenth Amendment has been deemed to prohibit such state action. And, of course, it's the First Amendment, not the Tenth Amendment, which restricts Congress' power to enact legislation respecting an establishment of religion.
