One of the critical issues in law school is reading carefully. And professors rarely include facts unless they're relevant. So - you have to read the full hypothetical, not just the snippet you gave us.\nWhy?\n\nBefore you can answer this question properly, you have to know which state's law is controlling (or, if somehow, you're operating under federal law, which is unlikely), and which court you're in. Further, if you're citing in a memorandum of law, your list is different than if you're citing the "most controlling" - which is too imprecise for law school, or a courtroom.

Actually, most states in America participate in the Interstate Compact Agreement - which permits states to send inmates from one state to another.  I can't tell from your post whether you live in Los Angeles or Louisiana, but you should know that Louisiana's states laws are different, because they are based upon the Napoleonic laws, not the English common law that the rest of the US is based on.  May sound like a silly thing, but it can make a big difference.\n\nThe first thing I would do is contact the prison authorities in PA and ask if they participate in the Interstate Compact Agreement.  If so, your brother can go ahead and begin the paperwork himself.  There are often costs for this, such as your family having the pay for the transport costs of your brother and escorting prison officers, but if that's worth it to you, go ahead and get the ball rolling.  You can contact the Main Office at (717) 975-4859, and start asking questions there.   Good Luck.

I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure that rule only applies to Louisana because they have a different legal system there then the rest of the country. It’s called the Louisiana Civil Code; it’s similar to the Napoleonic Code. It’s the only state in the union with this system.

This may not be helpful for your homework, but it seems like ALL laws curtail personal freedoms, while being intended to protect society in some way.  It seems like the only laws that would NOT make your list would be laws that you believed were wrong because they actually did nothing useful to protect society.\n\nMaybe your teacher has something grander in mind, but from the way you described the question, it seems like you could pick any 4 traffic laws or parking ordinances even.
