    The second case filed against the University of Michigan is Grutter v. Bollinger (2003). The suit was filed by non-minority applicants who alleged the university for using race as the prevailing factor in admitting students and therefore violated the Equal Protection Clause, Title VI and Section 1981 (Green, 2004, p. 144). In their defense, the University of Michigan argued that the university seeks to ensure their ability to make unique contributions to the character of the student body by enrolling a “meaningful number” of underrepresented minority students (Green, 2004, p. 147). In contrast to the Gratz case, the district court did not follow Justice Powell’s rationale in the Bakke case and the district court ruled in favor of the plaintiff.

    In 1945, the High Court of Australia heard the case of Gratwick v Johnson and ultimately decided to dismiss the appeal in a unanimous decision by the Judges. While different reasoning was employed, all five judges drew the conclusion that the appeal should be dismissed as the statute the defendant was charged under was inconsistent with s.92 of the Australian Constitution. To provide some context for this case in 1944, Dulcie Johnson was charged with an offence against the National Security Act 1939-1943 in that she did contravene par.3 of the Restriction of Interstate Passenger Transport Order by travelling from South Australia to Western Australia by rail.

    It is not a defense that the dog has never shown vicious behavior or bitten anyone in the past. In the case Supan V. Griffin, Griffin failed to provide evidence that the dog had ever bitten anyone in the past. However, the owner made a comment to his neighbor which “raised genuine issue of material fact as to owner’s knowledge of his dogs’ tendency to attack” and allowed the court to rule against the dog owner. This is similar to Roberts’ case in the fact that Chip has never bitten anyone, but, the owner knew of the dog’s propensity to chase down the football.
