Clean uses its line of disinfectant and cleaning products, and it also sells its products to other companies via the internet. Recently, the Delaware legislature enacted a law banning all sales and importation, until further notice, of Clean’s Shine-It surface cleaner in Delaware,  The Delaware Attorney General's Office investigated consumer complaints. It discovered that one of the ingredients in Shine-It is contaminated and causes a quick-growing mold to spread on surfaces to which it is applied. The mold can be toxic to humans and can cause damage to surfaces. Clean wants to continue selling Shine-It in Delaware.  If Clean can sell Shine-It in Delaware, it will increase its income and profits.  Clean, therefore, intends to challenge the new law as unconstitutional, and it has consulted TLG for advice.    Winnie and Ralph ask you to prepare a summary report of relevant constitutional law for a meeting with them and Clean’s owners. Instructions Report You Need to Prepare: Prepare a report that addresses the following three questions: 1. Analyze and explain whether the Delaware restriction on the sale of Shine-It violates the Interstate Commerce Clause. Fully explain your conclusions based on constitutional law. 2. Analyze whether the doctrine of "police powers" derived from the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution applies to the Delaware law. Fully explain your conclusions based on constitutional law. 3. Discuss why it is essential for businesses to understand the impact of the Interstate Commerce Clause and state police powers.

· Compare and contrast civil v. criminal law

· Describe the structure of the U.S. court system

Major Concepts:

Constitutional Power of Governments:

· Th e  U.S. Constitution

https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution

Police Powers: 

The U.S. Constitution grants authority and powers to the federal government.  Powers not specifically designated for the federal government are reserved as powers for the individual states.  So-called "police powers" are reserved for the states.

· Police Powers of States https://definitions.uslegal.com/p/police-powers/

· Examples of Police Powers of States https://biotech.law.lsu.edu/map/ThePolicePower.html

Jurisdiction of Courts:

Jurisdiction, the authority of a court to hear a case, is an important legal concept for business owners and managers to understand.  Jurisdiction is increasingly complex with the expansion of e-commerce and global business.  

· Jurisdiction: Definitions and Examples https://legaldictionary.net/jurisdiction/

· Jurisdiction and Internet Sales https://corporate.findlaw.com/law-library/jurisdiction-in-cyberspace.html

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): 

Traditionally, legal disputes were resolved in the courts, but legal alternatives for resolving disputes outside the courtroom are increasingly popular.  ADR is appropriate for certain types of cases, e.g., disputes where there is a dispute of facts; ADR is not appropriate for all disputes, e.g., a dispute involving a question of constitutional law.
