Artificial Intelligence Is An Idea That Machines Can Think...
Artificial Intelligence is an idea. An idea that machines can think and make decisions just as us humans can. With an ever growing knowledge of
technology, we have seen a major impact from Artificial Intelligence and it will continue to impact our lives. One future impact of AI is its use in
the judicial system. Judicial systems exist all around the world, in one form or anther, each with different laws and policies, but all judicial
systems can be significantly impacted by AI. However, the question that arises is on a moral and ethical basis, should AI be used in the judicial
system? This issue brings much controversy as to whether AI can effectively make correct decisions on its own based on the evidence that has been
presented to them and in which ways they are able to assist employees of the judiciary system. AI actually already play a role in the judiciary process.
They are used in evidence and document research to make lawyers jobs much easier. "I would suspect that AI use in data mining for e–discovery
might be one of the most helpful advancements. This would include the ability to examine data for contextual relevance" (5 Questions On Artificial
Intelligence). E–discovery is a very popular tool with lawyers as it is able to perform tedious tasks, making their job much more time efficient.
Artificial Intelligence has also begun making serious strides in systems that can notify and update lawyer's research when relevant changes to the law

Overview
The American court system is quite daunting and complicated. Consequently, the assistance previous available is no longer accessible resulting from
budgetary issues. Therefore, strategic planning goals and management skills are essential to providing an efficient and smooth operating judicial
system. Moreover, public education, access to the legal system, access to public court documents, effective management, and retention of court records
are essential to successful court management. Furthermore, court managements resorted to consolidation and restructuring options to improve the ...

Improve jury responses to jury duty summons through active promotion and enhancement of jury system to achieve jury responses. Increase the use of
technology to facilitate faster processing of cases, improve document management, document preservation by reducing paper documents, and maintain
compliance with statutory document retention regulations. Increase electronic access and viewing of public court records, implement electronic filing
of civil and criminal cases, and protect confidential data. Furthermore, the implementation of a restraining order database will improve efficiency and
accuracy in identifying violations. Additionally, electronic dispensing of information in various key languages will assist in educating non–English
speakers' awareness of the American judicial system. Improve case management system to identify cases filed under multiple overlapping jurisdictions
to avoid conflicting court order, duplicative services, ineffective use of judicial resources, and easy identification of duplicative jurisdictional cases for

My Observation Of A Civil Case I Had To Do With Divorce
For my observation, I chose to observe a civil case that had to do with a divorce. I did some research on the cases, and chose one that was similar
to an experience I went through. My parents are currently separated, and my father simply refused to pay child support. He lives outside of the
state, so it was hard for my mother to have face to face confrontation with him. She got tired of raising three kids on her own, and finally decided to
take him to court. I was required to serve as a witness. This took place in 2009, so I was thirteen years old and didn't really understand much of what
was going on. I timidly walked to the stand and was sworn in. I then answered the questions the attorney asked me.

There were two women sitting opposite of me, so I felt better about watching the case. I slowly got my notebook out and began taking notes.
Although I had arrived after the case had begun, I had a little bit of background knowledge and could easily follow what was going on. The case was
between Joseph B. McCarthy and his ex–wife, Annie J. Ashment McCarthy. Joseph was the defendant, and Annie was the plaintiff. Annie had a
lawyer by her side, and Joseph stood alone. Annie's lawyer was Brad E. Macdonald. The defendant had failed to pay child support and owed his
ex–wife an arrearage of thirty–thousand dollars.
When I walked in, the defendant was seated on the stand, and he was telling the judge that he had filed for custody of his four children. As he was
explaining why, Brad Macdonald, the ex–wife's lawyer, objected. His reason for objecting was that the basis for filing was not relevant. I didn't know
that lawyers were free to interrupt people on the bench while they were presenting their case. The judge sustained the objection, and the defendant
continued to plead his case.
I immediately noticed that the defendant didn't have a lawyer, and it shocked me because I don't usually hear of people successfully defending
themselves in court. Before presenting his evidence, he asked the judge a question on how he was supposed to present it, and Judge Green responded
by telling him that he had the opportunity to have a lawyer appointed for

Analysis of Jonathan HarrВґs A Civil Action Essay
Jonathan Harr wrote a compelling novel, called A Civil Action, on the actual events of a thrilling court case involving two major corporations and the
families who were affected greatly. In Woburn, Massachusetts there were twenty–eight children who contracted acute lymphocytic leukemia between
the years of 1964 and 1986. The explanation for the contraction of the disease and even the death of some of the children was discovered in the water;
two municipal wells near the town were found to be contaminated with toxic chemicals. Eight families filed suit against W.R. Grace & Co. and Beatrice

In a conversation with Schlichtmann, Facher stated, "the truth? I thought we were talking about a court of law. Come on, you've been around long
enough to know that a courtroom isn't a place to look for the truth." Facher also stated, "truth is found at the bottom of a bottomless pit." If truth is
never found in court, it must've taken a lot of nerve to take on the Woburn case. Facher's words provide proof that achieving victory is far more
important than providing the facts and discovering truth, in his opinion. His actions and tactics indeed worked for him.
Furthermore, the chances of the plaintiff winning a civil court case are low. When it comes to it, a settlement is commonly agreed on before a verdict
is even presented. Schlichtmann didn't want the case and refused at first because he knew it was going to be tough. He explained his reasons for not
wanting the case in his quote:
The odds of a plaintiff's lawyer winning in civil court are two to one against. Think about that for a second. Your odds of surviving a game of
Russian roulette are better than winning a case at trial. 12 times better. So why does anyone do it? They don't. They settle. Out of the 780,000, only
12,000 or 11/2 percent ever reach a verdict. The whole idea of lawsuits is to settle, to compel the other side to settle. And you do that by spending more

Descriptive Essay On A Black Cat
i opened the window pane and felt the cold breeze brush my cheeks. A light blizzard was raging. It was the beginning of winter. Snow was
everywhere and the visibility was blurring. I let the air in, accompanied by little snowflakes. I saw them glaze in the streetlight. A large leafless tree
lay far from my window.The snow slowly slid down from the tree and landed on a black cat. I chuckled at the sight of this subtle romance. The cat
meowed. He looked as though he was merrily offering solace to the leafless tree. In its frail attempt to tease his sole companion, the tree sprayed more
white snow and caressed the black cat. No human being was in sight on the empty street. The streetlight flickered in the distance. It was dark and no

I was in love with the spectacle I saw that day.
'Wait,' I yelled.

I handed him a bottle of blended malt, (name) it read. He smiled again. No more snow on his shoulders, his smile finally reached his eyes. I froze. I

'I know it was an accident and she didn't mean to hurt Ashleigh. I know it was bad luck. I know Ashleigh should not have got in the car. But Jo needs
to be punished by the law...I want the law, the community to say it was wrong...' Antonello paused, 'but I don't want to make it any harder for her than
it has to be. I felt sorry for her when I saw her at the Bridge. You're right, she's suffering too.' They had talked about it for a long time and they agreed
to write a short statement about their granddaughter, about her beauty and her potential, her intelligence, the joy she bought to their lives, and about
their sadness and grief.
On the way from the carpark to the courtroom that morning, Rae said, 'I hope she gets a long sentence. I know I should be more forgiving. That I

Justice Should Not Be A Solution
Justice Is Up To Us From the very beginning, people have fought. Rather it be over food, shelter, land, or money, these disagreements have remained
ever–present in our societies. Where there is disagreement, there must eventually be a solution. Most of the time this solution can come from the
individual, or individuals, involved in the disagreement. When necessary, a third, impartial party is to step in and fairly decide what is to happen. Out
of all the commotion, no one ever stops to think, "What do I want to happen here," or better yet, "How do I want this to happen?" In a country
christened land of the free, home of the proud, it is appropriate to assume that everyone gets a fair trial, that everyone is treated equally in the eyes of
the law, and that the government does everything in its power to protect the innocent and prosecute the bad guys. But that's not exactly the way things
work in America. In the land of the free, home of the proud, the court rooms continue to be influenced by personal prejudice and the poor, the
uneducated, and the mentally ill continue to remain unrepresented. In efforts to better the nation, the principle of the nation must be upheld and the
values of America must be preserved. Throughout the history of America, prosecution has persisted. From the moment that white men arrived,

Lay Magistrates In The Legal System Of England And Wales
LL4181/LL5181 ELSM Second Formative Coursework
Explain and critically consider the use of lay magistrates in the legal system of England and Wales.
Lay magistrates are very important to the legal system in England and wales. Lay magistrate's also known as 'Justices of the peace' are volunteers in
Magistrates courts as judicial officers. There are 21,500 lay magistrates currently in England and wales. Combined with professional magistrates in a
magistrate's court they take up to 95% of cases involving criminal charges . This essay will be investigating the actual importance of them as well as
recommendations on diversifying the bench for the Lord Chancellor.
Lay magistrates take on a lot of cases in England and wales in magistrate's courts as well as sentencing on most cases. Magistrate's courts hear cases
involving prosecutions of young offenders and children family cases. Lay magistrates also attend Family cases; this is due to change in 2014, where
these types of hearings will be passed to the Family Court . In general Lay magistrates only take on minor criminal offences. With the use of lay
magistrate's a lot of time is spared to parliament and higher courts to concentrate on more serious offences within the law as well as problems
concerning the country in general, such as the Scottish referendum. This makes the use of Lay Magistrates essential in the English legal system.

A.Attendance
The date I attended court was October 18th 2017. The time of the court appointment was set to begin at 9:30AM. However, the court appointment did
not start until 9:55AM. The court appointment lasted for about ten minutes. The court appointment was held in 9–A, and the presiding Judge was Judge
Hillary.
B.Overview
The type of hearing I attended was related to child welfare. In this particular case, the court appointment was directly related to child support for a
child who was recently released from foster care. There was one person present that was directly related to the defendant in some way. I am unsure of
the relationship. Other details I was able to discover about the trial was that the defendant fathered two children. One child in particular was recently
released from the foster care system. The child was entered into the foster care system due to a violent criminal charge that was directly related to the
biological mother.
The defendant is behind on child support payments with this particular child. The defendant has had financial hardships recently, and is $2,569.50
behind. This was his second court appointment in relation to his child support payments. Originally the defendant was ordered to pay two–hundred
dollars a month. The defendant was unable to make these payments. The defendant communicated this with the biological mother. However, the

both worlds. Most wooden benches just aren't as durable as an iron/metal bench. Also lost is the comfort factor with most metal benches. The idea of a

Pipe benches were used in parks and things of that nature for years. A roughly estimated time for the start of the design would be around the year
1850, during the industrial revolution. During that time people realized they could melt down metal and make it into, essentially anything they want.
Although the idea of the pipe bench didn't come from one specific person, it sort of became a normality. More and more of them started appearing
across the world seemingly overnight. The simplicity must have captivated the world because of the shear number that started popping up in major
cities at the turn of the 19th century. The design made so much sense at the time, because companies were getting into the metal crafting business and
why not make a bench with a comfortable wooden seat and a strong metal frame. Cities were expanding and the idea of large rural communities were
beginning to fade into the past. This rapid expansion in city size caused many problems with space, transportation, and the need for the public facilities.
So bench builders took advantage of the new, very functional design and started implementing these new benches all over cities

charge is allowed to enter into mental health court some examples of that are murder, any sexual charge, any violent offense (example aggravated

The primary functions of lower courts consist of processing minor offenses but these courts will sometimes process felonies as well, without
sentencing the defendant. Major trial courts take the processed felony cases and complete them; in major courts the defendants who are charged with
felony crimes mainly enter a plea of guilty or not guilty, which then leads to a trial (Neubauer, 2010). The second component of our dual court system
consists of appellate courts. In the U.S. judicial system, a defendant found guilty in a trial court can normally appeal to a higher federal court. These
federal courts, or appellate courts, review decisions made by trial courts (Neubauer, 2010). Appellate courts can be on the federal and state level, but
do not hold trials or hear new evidence. These courts consist of a judge, or a lawyer, or a group of either one, who read the transcript of the trial and
whether the previous decision correctly or incorrectly followed the law (Neubauer, 2010). Similar to trial courts, the federal government and most
states have made two different types of appellate courts: intermediate, which hear all cases, and supreme courts, which can pick and choose the cases
heard (Neubauer, 2010). Even though there are many different types of courts within the judicial system of the United States, the role of the judge stays

It seems that politics and funding defiantly play a part in the courts decision to send someone to prison. In the state of Ohio, it costs tax payers
"$25,814" per inmate per year and while I could not find any exact cost of diversion programs (Vera.org). It is fair to assume they are much cheaper
per person per year than sending them to prison. So it is easy to see why from a funding perspective, the state would prefer to move to more
rehabilitate approach when dealing with drug offenses. While funding and politics do indeed play a factor in a courts sentencing, it is important to look
at the people the court is sentencing and how they got there.

of users and criminals.
Another aspect of this is differential association theory and how these offenders learn their deviant behaviors. After hearing many of the individuals in
court talk about how they know they messed and want to change, the judge would always ask the same question. "Are you still hanging around your
old friends?" For me, it seemed like he would ask this because he was well aware that it is these interactions that far too often led to drug problems
and if they do not cut out those social interactions then they are just going to fall back into the same lifestyle they did before of drugs and crime.
While they would always say no they do not plan on going back to their old life, in a county like Athens, it is hard to make enough money to get out
or away from those old crowds. It also doesn't help they may have the labeling stigma that often comes with drug addiction, rehab and jail. This can be
seen in the study done in the Gender and Crime among felony offenders journal, which shows that those "criminal friends significantly predicted
involvement in crime" (Alarid, pg. 185). I think it is fair to say that the environment that you were raised in and the people you associate yourself with,

Soccer Criticism
Criticism
We were in Irvine that day for a soccer tournament. I played defense at the time and enjoyed playing there. Even though I didn't score a lot of goals, it
was still fun to play.
When I got to my team, I set my bag down and did the stretches our coach, Wendi, wanted us to do. I was last in line. No one talked to me. They all
had their own cliques. I found that extremely stupid due to the fact that...well hello?! We're a team and teams are supposed to talk to each other, not
make their own cliques. I just needed them to talk to me when we played. The only person I sort of talked to was my coach. Yet, I didn't talk to her all

Eyewitness Testimony And The American Psychological...
For centuries, even before the rise of modern law and judicial practices, eyewitness testimony has been a crucial part in reaching verdicts in court. The
opinions and observations of bystanders or active participants in a crime scene are often considered to be very valuable in determining the guilt or
innocence of accused individuals. However, there has been a large amount of scrutiny in the law world concerning both misappropriated and untrue
testimonies administered in courts of law. Although thetestimony of individuals can simply be misinterpreted or forgotten due to a variety of reasons,
eyewitnesses also provide information that can purposefully incriminate or exonerate a defendant. Ultimately, despite its benefit in putting deserving
persons behind bars, the use of eyewitness testimony can absolutely be a dangerous monster for the innocently accused in different scenarios. Despite
thorough research supporting the dangers of eyewitness testimony, and the constant press by the American Psychological Association (APA) and
different law, psychology, and forensics experts, there are no national guidelines conducting how law enforcement agencies gather eyewitness
identifications. In an APA brief, suggested by researchers and the Innocence Project, sent to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, it discussed how juries
often don't understand the factors that can influence a witness' ability to accurately identify a suspect. Such factors include how much stress a witness is

Commercials And Advertisements : The Technique Of Humor
Many commercials and advertisements from Doritos use the technique of humor. Humor in these advertisements and commercials are often depicted in
violent or sexual situations to "lighten the mood." However, sometimes humor can be perceived the wrong way by audience members and taken as
offensive, mostly for female audience members. Fred K. Beard discusses how audiences have long been offended by different themes and images
portrayed in advertising, especially women audience members. Some of the most offensive themes that are used in advertising today include sexual
practices, racial/religious prejudice, terrorism, and anti–social behavior (1–3). This is why Doritos commercials and advertisements target male
audience members; the themes Doritos uses in their advertisements and commercials are often perceived as offensive by women viewers. In a
commercial that was aired during the 2010 Super Bowl, a man knocks on someone's door and is greeted by a woman who happens to be his date for
the evening. The woman lets him in and introduces him to her son before she walks off to finish getting ready. As she walks off, the man watches
her butt, and once she is out of view, he goes over and sits on the couch where her son is. The man starts trying to befriend the boy and picks up a

When analyzing the following strategies as a comparison, my finding results illustrate some similarities and some differences; however, these

Original Jurisdiction consists of the judicial system having the authority to observe a case first before further examination of the evidence needing to

Today 's Juvenile Court System Essay
Today's juvenile court system handles most cases involving those under the age of 18–year–old. This was not always the case and the ideal of a
separate court system for adults and children is only about 100 years old. When looking at the differences that set juvenile courts apart, it is important
to study the history and see how it developed over time.
The movement to separate children from adults in the court system can be traced back to English common law, just like most of America's criminal
justice system. English lawyer William Blackstone had a significant influence on the separation of Juvenile and adult courts. Blackstone's
Commentaries on the Laws of England, that was first published in the late 1760's, was widely read and well–regarded by the founders of America
(History of Juvenile Justice). In Blackstone's book, he identified individuals who were considered incapable of committing crimes (History of Juvenile
Justice). Two requirement needed to be met in order for someone to commit a crime. First, the individual had to have a "vicious will", or the intent to
commit a crime (History of Juvenile Justice). Second, the individual had to commit the crime. Blackstone then when on to state that one group of
people who were unable to commit a crime were called "infants" (History of Juvenile Justice). These people where not literality infant or babies, but
people too young to understand their actions, and therefore lacked the "vicious will" needed to commit a crime. At

Misinterpretation Of Law
Representing oneself as a lawyer in court is known as self–representation or self–litigation. This practice is not advised as it can lead to more problems
than advantages for the accused. Disadvantages may include unfair treatment in the court of law, misunderstanding due to minimal or no legal
background, and a greater possibility that the court system will suffer in the process. It is important to be aware that most individuals who decide to
participate in this practice do this out of great desperation and lack of money (Grant, 2015). This creates panic and uneasiness which reflects how they
portray themselves in the courtroom. For this reason, advocating should be strictly done by lawyers. According to the Ottawa Citizen, the accused may

This is greatly due to the fact that this is cost–free for the accused. This may seem like an advantage at first, but in the end it is definitely not. When
litigants choose to represent themselves in the court of law they are given a great amount of responsibility. They are expected to manage their time
wisely, so that they have enough time to understand the law, interpret it, and organize it into an effective and efficient way that fits their case
(Feldstein, 2016, p.9). All legal documents and important information relevant to the case must be brought forth in order to achieve the desired
outcome. If they do not understand the material, bring insignificant information and evidence to court then this becomes an enormous disadvantage to
them and to the entire court process. In regards to the court process, there is a large amount of money that is distributed between court clerks, court
reporters, judges, and courtrooms in general (Makin, 2012). Thus, if self–representatives do not come prepared to court, this wastes a lot of time and
money for everyone involved. This practice creates an immense amount of tension that would not happen if a lawyer was in charge. Self–litigation

their dreams were not important or worthwhile. As a result, we tend to lack motivation to even start our goals and dreams. So, how exactly do we

Assignment 1: Team Game Analysis
After the first three games of the season, Brooklyn Nets and Lin fans alike are optimistic. Pundits and "experts" have claimed the Nets will be a
"dreadful" team this season. But with a win against a likely playoff team, a close comeback to an Eastern Conference Finals contender, and a loss to a

Solid three–point shooting:
The Nets have attempted quite a few threes in the first three regular season games. In fact, they've attempted 112 threes, making 36 of them (32.1%).
They'll need to shoot better from three–point range to keep defenses honest. If defenses respect the team's three–point range, it will open up lanes to
drive and get the easy two. Improved three–point shooting by the team will help improve the already high–scoring offense.

be and be whatever you want to". This quote resonates with me, as it seems to sum up my attitude in life. All my decisions are based on what I,
alone, cogitate and feel about the situation. Truly I will be me no matter what. While, I was unusually independent as a baby, I didn't always have this
attitude. Indeed I owe Elsie Gray for planting the seed of self reliance in me. Elsie Gray was a para–educator at my elementary school. Never called
Mrs.Gray, Elsie was known around school as the most fractious person on staff. The students dreaded having her in a class, flinched when she
called someone out, and groaned if she was filling in for a bus driver. When watching a class in the computer lab for a teacher, she told students to
twiddle their thumbs if they finished. She'd holler at kids to sit down on the bus if one kid wasn't seated as the bus started. In hindsight, I notice she
was a straightforward woman who took nothing from nobody but as a kid, I was alike the other students and perceived Elsie as Cruella De Vil, ready to
sew misbehaving students into coats.
Southeast Elementary, my elementary school, was a one building K–12 school in the middle of nowhere and about twenty minutes away from the
border of Nebraska. Tiny towns and tiny farm and ranch families who owned large amounts of land speckled the landscape. For this

Have you ever felt so overworked that it may be affecting the quality of the outcome? In today's day and age of our American judicial system, most
would agree our judges are overworked. The federal judges of the court system handle a vast number of court cases each year in the United States. It
has become directionally proportional between the growing populations, the increase in crime, in turn leading to more cases. There should be a
dramatic addition of judges within the federal court system to lower the workload of the justices. From the signing of the U.S. Constitution under
Article III, our founding fathers put power into our third branch of the government. The federal court system was new but becoming organized. It was
designed... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
There have many articles, journals and comments made and debated about the current crisis of the federal court caseload. "It would be nice to get
some help. We are pedaling as fast as we can on an increasingly rickety bicycle." М¶ ChiefJudge Fred Biery "To enable the Judiciary to continue
serving litigants efficiently and effectively, the judicial workforce must be expanded." М¶ Judicial Conference
It has been an ongoing struggle for the courts to keep up with the workload. The fact that there has been talk and discussion about resolutions; this
may be the first step to resolving the problem. In the beginning days of our judicial system, as said before, a judge's caseload seemed to be
reasonable. It was not until the last few decades where the workload skyrocketed. In civil cases alone from the '1940s through the mid '1990s, the
caseload increased nearly 580 percent. To emphasize the point, bankruptcy cases within the same time frame had increased over 1500 percent. There
is no question that the ratio between cases and judges has become overwhelming. During the '1940s the comparisons between civil and criminal cases
filed were parallel. However in the next few decades, civil cases rose slightly over the criminal, but then another issue began. Even though with fast
growing civil filings, the criminal cases were prone to take much more time throughout

With an ever growing knowledge of technology, we have seen a major impact from Artificial Intelligence and it will continue to impact our lives. One future impact of AI is its use in the judicial system. Judicial systems exist all around the world, in one form or anther, each with different laws and policies, but all judicial systems can be significantly impacted by AI. However, the question that arises is on a moral and ethical basis, should AI be used in the judicial system? This issue brings much controversy as to whether AI can effectively make correct decisions on its own based on the evidence that has been presented to them and in which ways they are able to assist employees of the judiciary system. AI actually already play a role in the judiciary process. They are used in evidence and document research to make lawyers jobs much easier. "I would suspect that AI use in data mining for e–discovery might be one of the most helpful advancements. This would include the ability to examine data for contextual relevance" (5 Questions On Artificial Intelligence). E–discovery is a very popular tool with lawyers as it is able to perform tedious tasks, making their job much more time efficient. Artificial Intelligence has also begun making serious strides in systems that can notify and update lawyer's research when relevant changes to the law have occurred (5 Questions On ...

I did some research on the cases, and chose one that was similar to an experience I went through. My parents are currently separated, and my father simply refused to pay child support. He lives outside of the state, so it was hard for my mother to have face to face confrontation with him. She got tired of raising three kids on her own, and finally decided to take him to court. I was required to serve as a witness. This took place in 2009, so I was thirteen years old and didn't really understand much of what was going on. I timidly walked to the stand and was sworn in. I then answered the questions the attorney asked me. The divorce case I observed has been ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... There were two women sitting opposite of me, so I felt better about watching the case. I slowly got my notebook out and began taking notes. Although I had arrived after the case had begun, I had a little bit of background knowledge and could easily follow what was going on. The case was between Joseph B. McCarthy and his ex–wife, Annie J. Ashment McCarthy. Joseph was the defendant, and Annie was the plaintiff. Annie had a lawyer by her side, and Joseph stood alone. Annie's lawyer was Brad E. Macdonald. The defendant had failed to pay child support and owed his ex–wife an arrearage of thirty–thousand dollars. When I walked in, the defendant was seated on the stand, and he was telling the judge that he had filed for custody of his four children. As he was explaining why, Brad Macdonald, the ex–wife's lawyer, objected. His reason for objecting was that the basis for filing was not relevant. I didn't know that lawyers were free to interrupt people on the bench while they were presenting their case. The judge sustained the objection, and the defendant continued to plead his case. I immediately noticed that the defendant didn't have a lawyer, and it shocked me because I don't usually hear of people successfully defending themselves in court. Before presenting his evidence, he asked the judge a question on how he was supposed to present it, and Judge Green responded by telling him that he had the opportunity to have a lawyer appointed for ...

  • 5. Analysis of Jonathan HarrВґs A Civil Action Essay Jonathan Harr wrote a compelling novel, called A Civil Action, on the actual events of a thrilling court case involving two major corporations and the families who were affected greatly. In Woburn, Massachusetts there were twenty–eight children who contracted acute lymphocytic leukemia between the years of 1964 and 1986. The explanation for the contraction of the disease and even the death of some of the children was discovered in the water; two municipal wells near the town were found to be contaminated with toxic chemicals. Eight families filed suit against W.R. Grace & Co. and Beatrice Foods Inc., accusing them for the contamination of the wells and the death of their children. The families only wanted an apology and the truth but when ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In a conversation with Schlichtmann, Facher stated, "the truth? I thought we were talking about a court of law. Come on, you've been around long enough to know that a courtroom isn't a place to look for the truth." Facher also stated, "truth is found at the bottom of a bottomless pit." If truth is never found in court, it must've taken a lot of nerve to take on the Woburn case. Facher's words provide proof that achieving victory is far more important than providing the facts and discovering truth, in his opinion. His actions and tactics indeed worked for him. Furthermore, the chances of the plaintiff winning a civil court case are low. When it comes to it, a settlement is commonly agreed on before a verdict is even presented. Schlichtmann didn't want the case and refused at first because he knew it was going to be tough. He explained his reasons for not wanting the case in his quote: The odds of a plaintiff's lawyer winning in civil court are two to one against. Think about that for a second. Your odds of surviving a game of Russian roulette are better than winning a case at trial. 12 times better. So why does anyone do it? They don't. They settle. Out of the 780,000, only 12,000 or 11/2 percent ever reach a verdict. The whole idea of lawsuits is to settle, to compel the other side to settle. And you do that by spending more money than you should, which forces them to spend more money than they should, and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Descriptive Essay On A Black Cat i opened the window pane and felt the cold breeze brush my cheeks. A light blizzard was raging. It was the beginning of winter. Snow was everywhere and the visibility was blurring. I let the air in, accompanied by little snowflakes. I saw them glaze in the streetlight. A large leafless tree lay far from my window.The snow slowly slid down from the tree and landed on a black cat. I chuckled at the sight of this subtle romance. The cat meowed. He looked as though he was merrily offering solace to the leafless tree. In its frail attempt to tease his sole companion, the tree sprayed more white snow and caressed the black cat. No human being was in sight on the empty street. The streetlight flickered in the distance. It was dark and no human in his right mind would venture to go out, or so I thought. As I was admiring the clasp of beauty the snow held in its ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... I could feel the immense distance between our souls as I watched him leave with smoke blowing out of his mouth. I did not know his name, I realised. I had forgotten his sound. His heart seemed to be bestrewn with vestiges. He looked at me and smiled. I heard them again, those small footsteps. I was in love with the spectacle I saw that day. 'Wait,' I yelled. The footsteps stopped. I handed him a bottle of blended malt, (name) it read. He smiled again. No more snow on his shoulders, his smile finally reached his eyes. I froze. I could hear the footsteps fade. Then they stopped. I put on my overcoat. I ventured into the quiet street outside. The streetlight flickered. I breathed the breath of the blizzard. The atmosphere was dank. I stared at the white snow as I let the visiting thoughts that approached my mind sink in. 'Jun' I heard someone scream out my name. I looked around.

They had talked about it for a long time and they agreed to write a short statement about their granddaughter, about her beauty and her potential, her intelligence, the joy she bought to their lives, and about their sadness and grief. On the way from the carpark to the courtroom that morning, Rae said, 'I hope she gets a long sentence. I know I should be more forgiving.

  • 9. Justice Should Not Be A Solution Justice Is Up To Us From the very beginning, people have fought. Rather it be over food, shelter, land, or money, these disagreements have remained ever–present in our societies. Where there is disagreement, there must eventually be a solution. Most of the time this solution can come from the individual, or individuals, involved in the disagreement. When necessary, a third, impartial party is to step in and fairly decide what is to happen. Out of all the commotion, no one ever stops to think, "What do I want to happen here," or better yet, "How do I want this to happen?" In a country christened land of the free, home of the proud, it is appropriate to assume that everyone gets a fair trial, that everyone is treated equally in the eyes of the law, and that the government does everything in its power to protect the innocent and prosecute the bad guys. But that's not exactly the way things work in America. In the land of the free, home of the proud, the court rooms continue to be influenced by personal prejudice and the poor, the uneducated, and the mentally ill continue to remain unrepresented. In efforts to better the nation, the principle of the nation must be upheld and the values of America must be preserved. Throughout the history of America, prosecution has persisted. From the moment that white men arrived, confrontation over the ownership of other humans has existed. Some saw this ownership as fair, others did not.

Lay magistrates are very important to the legal system in England and wales. Lay magistrate's also known as 'Justices of the peace' are volunteers in Magistrates courts as judicial officers. There are 21,500 lay magistrates currently in England and wales. Combined with professional magistrates in a magistrate's court they take up to 95% of cases involving criminal charges . This essay will be investigating the actual importance of them as well as recommendations on diversifying the bench for the Lord Chancellor. Lay magistrates take on a lot of cases in England and wales in magistrate's courts as well as sentencing on most cases. Magistrate's courts hear cases involving prosecutions of young offenders and children family cases. Lay magistrates also attend Family cases; this is due to change in 2014, where these types of hearings will be passed to the Family Court . In general Lay magistrates only take on minor criminal offences. With the use of lay magistrate's a lot of time is spared to parliament and higher courts to concentrate on more serious offences within the law as well as problems concerning the country in general, such as the Scottish referendum.

The defendant is behind on child support payments with this particular child. The defendant has had financial hardships recently, and is $2,569.50 behind. This was his second court appointment in relation to his child support payments. Originally the defendant was ordered to pay two–hundred dollars a month.

Pipe benches were used in parks and things of that nature for years. A roughly estimated time for the start of the design would be around the year 1850, during the industrial revolution. During that time people realized they could melt down metal and make it into, essentially anything they want. Although the idea of the pipe bench didn't come from one specific person, it sort of became a normality. More and more of them started appearing across the world seemingly overnight. The simplicity must have captivated the world because of the shear number that started popping up in major cities at the turn of the 19th century. The design made so much sense at the time, because companies were getting into the metal crafting business and why not make a bench with a comfortable wooden seat and a strong metal frame. Cities were expanding and the idea of large rural communities were beginning to fade into the past. This rapid expansion in city size caused many problems with space, transportation, and the need for the public facilities.

At York County an exclusion from the mental health court would be if you had any previous charges they are not resolved in other states. Not every charge is allowed to enter into mental health court some examples of that are murder, any sexual charge, any violent offense (example aggravated assault), and anyone who is classified as a violent offender. Although these crimes are excluded under the conditions under certain circumstances they might allow one of these charges to enter into mental health court.

The primary functions of lower courts consist of processing minor offenses but these courts will sometimes process felonies as well, without sentencing the defendant. Major trial courts take the processed felony cases and complete them; in major courts the defendants who are charged with felony crimes mainly enter a plea of guilty or not guilty, which then leads to a trial (Neubauer, 2010). The second component of our dual court system consists of appellate courts. In the U.S. judicial system, a defendant found guilty in a trial court can normally appeal to a higher federal court. These federal courts, or appellate courts, review decisions made by trial courts (Neubauer, 2010). Appellate courts can be on the federal and state level, but do not hold trials or hear new evidence. These courts consist of a judge, or a lawyer, or a group of either one, who read the transcript of the trial and whether the previous decision correctly or incorrectly followed the law (Neubauer, 2010). Similar to trial courts, the federal government and most states have made two different types of appellate courts: intermediate, which hear all cases, and supreme courts, which can pick and choose the cases heard (Neubauer, 2010). Even though there are many different types of courts within the judicial system of the United States, the role of the judge stays constant throughout the majority of branches.

Another aspect of this is differential association theory and how these offenders learn their deviant behaviors. After hearing many of the individuals in court talk about how they know they messed and want to change, the judge would always ask the same question. "Are you still hanging around your old friends?" For me, it seemed like he would ask this because he was well aware that it is these interactions that far too often led to drug problems and if they do not cut out those social interactions then they are just going to fall back into the same lifestyle they did before of drugs and crime. While they would always say no they do not plan on going back to their old life, in a county like Athens, it is hard to make enough money to get out or away from those old crowds.

For centuries, even before the rise of modern law and judicial practices, eyewitness testimony has been a crucial part in reaching verdicts in court. The opinions and observations of bystanders or active participants in a crime scene are often considered to be very valuable in determining the guilt or innocence of accused individuals. However, there has been a large amount of scrutiny in the law world concerning both misappropriated and untrue testimonies administered in courts of law. Although thetestimony of individuals can simply be misinterpreted or forgotten due to a variety of reasons, eyewitnesses also provide information that can purposefully incriminate or exonerate a defendant. Ultimately, despite its benefit in putting deserving persons behind bars, the use of eyewitness testimony can absolutely be a dangerous monster for the innocently accused in different scenarios. Despite thorough research supporting the dangers of eyewitness testimony, and the constant press by the American Psychological Association (APA) and different law, psychology, and forensics experts, there are no national guidelines conducting how law enforcement agencies gather eyewitness identifications.

Some of the most offensive themes that are used in advertising today include sexual practices, racial/religious prejudice, terrorism, and anti–social behavior (1–3).

Nearby on the dusty asphalt a pigeon waddles self–consciously, bobbing its head as if pecking the air for some invisible food. A squirrel churrs a threat to his brother, challenging him to romp. The walkway before me never becomes silent. A buzz of voices blends with the city soundscape of cars driving and trucks backing, swingsets squealing and sparrows chirping. Atoddler, holding tightly to his sister's stroller, yells "Achtung! Achtung! Achtung!" at a squirrel that crosses two inches from his foot. His mother comforts him, in German.

They both recede as they rise, shadowed places standing out against sunlit sides, seeming to hold themselves back from too much involvement with their surroundings. This building stands behind a wall of brick rowhouses like the low hill of alfalfa fields blocks a view of the lower reaches of the mountain. The rowhouses' potentially beautiful facade is marred by rusty air–conditioner units and a high trim of metalwork, corroded to a bright green, contrasting with the clean brick and the white window frames. Trees obscure my vision slightly, holding onto their last few dirty–brown leaves. A puff of air, cool enough to make you shiver but too warm for a jacket, rustles them. Strains of harmonica waft from the park bench opposite me. A street musician of sorts has opened for business, a blue–green flowerpot at his feet. His near–empty bag is next to him on the bench, surrounded by his array of harmonicas. A contented Labrador Retriever disinterestedly glances toward him, not missing of beat of his lazy gait.

This was not always the case and the ideal of a separate court system for adults and children is only about 100 years old. When looking at the differences that set juvenile courts apart, it is important to study the history and see how it developed over time. The movement to separate children from adults in the court system can be traced back to English common law, just like most of America's criminal justice system. English lawyer William Blackstone had a significant influence on the separation of Juvenile and adult courts. Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, that was first published in the late 1760's, was widely read and well–regarded by the founders of America (History of Juvenile Justice). In Blackstone's book, he identified individuals who were considered incapable of committing crimes (History of Juvenile Justice). Two requirement needed to be met in order for someone to commit a crime. First, the individual had to have a "vicious will", or the intent to commit a crime (History of Juvenile Justice). Second, the individual had to commit the crime. Blackstone then when on to state that one group of people who were unable to commit a crime were called "infants" (History of Juvenile Justice). These people where not literality infant or babies, but people too young to understand their actions, and therefore lacked the "vicious will" needed to commit a crime. At ...

  • 33. Misinterpretation Of Law Representing oneself as a lawyer in court is known as self–representation or self–litigation. This practice is not advised as it can lead to more problems than advantages for the accused. Disadvantages may include unfair treatment in the court of law, misunderstanding due to minimal or no legal background, and a greater possibility that the court system will suffer in the process. It is important to be aware that most individuals who decide to participate in this practice do this out of great desperation and lack of money (Grant, 2015).

This may seem like an advantage at first, but in the end it is definitely not. When litigants choose to represent themselves in the court of law they are given a great amount of responsibility. They are expected to manage their time wisely, so that they have enough time to understand the law, interpret it, and organize it into an effective and efficient way that fits their case (Feldstein, 2016, p.9). All legal documents and important information relevant to the case must be brought forth in order to achieve the desired outcome. If they do not understand the material, bring insignificant information and evidence to court then this becomes an enormous disadvantage to them and to the entire court process. In regards to the court process, there is a large amount of money that is distributed between court clerks, court reporters, judges, and courtrooms in general (Makin, 2012). Thus, if self–representatives do not come prepared to court, this wastes a lot of time and money for everyone involved. This practice creates an immense amount of tension that would not happen if a lawyer was in charge. Self–litigation places a great burden on not only the court system, ...

Also, the government argued that a switch to the NJAC would improve the quality and merit of judicial appointments, going so far as to impugn the merit of specific appointments under the collegium.

Maybe it is because we lack the inner motivation and desire within ourselves; or we tend to blame other people for our failures; or perhaps we are missing the resources that we desperately need. Sometimes it may be because others discourage us. A dream is a personal desire to accomplish something that we want to achieve, but we do not necessarily know where to begin or even have enough confidence within ourselves to fulfill it. A specific factor that plays a major role in fulfilling our dreams can be the issue of gender. Many people feel that women do not have the same opportunities that males are given in specific fields.

They feel we need to be more "realistic" while following our dreams so that we do not set up disappointment for our selves. Like Morgan and Emerson, we must try to believe and have hope that one will pursue their dreams and go further. In other words, we must be supportive! If people are not giving us support while we are making dreams and trying to follow through with them, then we may give up. People would start to feel like their dreams were not important or worthwhile. As a result, we tend to lack motivation to even start our goals and dreams. So, how exactly do we figure out our dreams and then follow through with them no matter what anybody else says? Perhaps we can look to those like McClintock that have already set and started fulfilling their goals, and then do what works best for us. In 1942, McClintock's profession of becoming a scientist was secured when she received a haven at the Carnegie Institution of Washington at Cold Spring Harbor, where she has remained ever since.

A study has shown that words can play a major impact in the witness' mind and cause them to recall false information.

This includes: Solid three–point shooting: The Nets have attempted quite a few threes in the first three regular season games. In fact, they've attempted 112 threes, making 36 of them (32.1%). They'll need to shoot better from three–point range to keep defenses honest. If defenses respect the team's three–point range, it will open up lanes to drive and get the easy two.
