Small Bedroom Observation

Superior Essays
I knew Professor Flower was my favorite professor when he stated “I will never repeat an outfit”. From day one he presented himself with so much integrity and seemed to have a great deal of authority but wills it with such grace to the point where you can’t help but wish to become him. His gentleman like demeanor lingered in the air and it was contagious. He presented himself as the strap up your boots and make it happen type of man (but he wouldn’t actually be wearing boots, of course, more like loafers). He also talked about our perspective on life which he reference to a small box and not only how his class but how completely an observation report was going to expand our small box. When he first stated that all of our perspectives were small, …show more content…
The Chief Judge of the case was Sara Doyle and her sidekick was Judge William M, Ray II. Ms. Doyle started with a joke telling both lawyer not to waste her time and that she hoped what they had to argue was exciting because she went to bed fairly late and she hadn’t had her coffee. The courtroom gathered in laughter and Mr. Ray politely just said hello. I’m guessing time was something they did not have to spare because Ms. Doyle spent no time starting and allowing them to gather all their materials so both her and Mr. Ray could analyze both sides of each argument. The case argued was between two friends – Mr. Ronan Patrick Doherty and Mr. William Sims Stone. It was the GLOCK, INC. ET AL. v. JAMES R. HARPER, III case. First, Mr. Doherty spoke and I must say I was anticipating him to say “may it please the court” as Professor Flower said it was a signal to let the court know you were about to speak, a sign of expressing your due diligence. Although, he didn’t he still thoroughly explained why his client was harmed by the company and why certain things shouldn’t stand, along with that why his client should be paid and a certain rule should be removed. I must admit they speak at a rapid pace and although I write quickly there was no way I could process all the information that was being talked about in courtroom. Mr. Doherty did bring up statutory language, the 2015 Hidden Predator Act (Section 6, Section 8) and how these were grounds to prove why his client should be reimbursed for such harsh treatment. This reminded me a lot of the Ledbetter vs. Goodyear case discussed in class. Although his client wasn’t a female and he wasn’t fighting to be paid equally, his client was still fighting for equality which is something I feel shouldn’t be a topic of discussion in this day and time. Mr. Doherty went on and as he

Throughout this interval of recreation, there has been only a handful that have ultimately transformed the world we live in today. One of those is known as the Warren Court Era of 1953-1969.

    On Thursday, September 22nd at 4:00 p.m., I witnessed the Beebe v. Bozeman Deaconess Health Service, Inc. court case. The judge for this case was Judge Holly Brown. I walked into the court room while they were on recess, so I was a little confused about what was going on at first. It was interesting to be a part of the “please rise” standing ritual when the judge walked in. It makes a person wonder why the benches in the public’s seating area are so noisy, it seemed very disruptive. When I attended the case, there was an expert on the stand being interviewed by the plaintiff’s lawyer I believe. I was a little off-put by the lawyer’s outfit, because it did not seem as formal as I was expecting and the lawyer herself seemed to say um a lot. Her…

    Justice Thomas was unheard as usual. Justice Scalia at a minute and a half in announced is opinion. And, Justice Ginsburg shortly offered her concurrences to Scalia’s opinion in the case. Polar opposite judicial philosophies met here early in the case. The surmise surely felt would be quickly followed. However, Scalia and Roberts would continue to inject questions and opinion over twenty more times each. In between the barrage of other Justice would comment all around fifteen times each. An impressive display or legal oral arguing, everyone was intellectual prepared and lucidly succinct. Justice Ruth Ginsberg was less than the best orator and Justice Kagan was often confusing with here interjections of hypotheticals. Concluding by the deciding announcement on April 29th 2013 by Justice Alito. Alito’s decision presented was short, concise not surprising. Yet, absent of the Rhode Island minor who had his child support delayed as this fascinating legal battle…

    Although the location of my study areas vary, I decided to choose the one where the majority of studying is done which is in my bedroom on the bed. The set up of the area will include surrounding myself with textbooks, two laptaps (one for note taking, the other for research), different colors pens, a notebook, snacks and of course my cell phone. While studying I normally have the television on but its muted. For the purpose of the reaction paper I thought it would be more accurate to have someone observe my actions. Below are the following results:…

    I sat back and observed case after case be passed down to the court reporter as the defendants plead guilty one after another. I realized the amount of stress that is placed upon a judge to move cases along so that the caseload decreases and positions open up on the docket for other cases to be heard. We often watch TV shows and believe that how they portray the courtroom is realistic, but very few of us have actually been inside an actual courtroom. We too frequently rely on news channels and TV series to feed us deceptive views of courtrooms and their inner…

    For instance, it was interesting to see the emotional relationship between law clerks, Connolly and Becker. It was evident to the audience that Becker, a conservative who clerked for Justice Harlan, felt the need to provoke and irritate Connolly. For instance, Becker nonchalantly tried to deflate Connolly’s education at a university in Mississippi. Secondly, Becker provokes Connolly on the basketball court due to his involvement in changing Justice Harlan’s vote in Clay v. United States. Unfortunately, that situation resulted in a physical fight between the two law…

    As Skloot dives further into the book she analyzes the Mo cell line controversy. John Moore had hairy-cell leukemia, that produced malignant blood cells that flooded his spleen, and was treated by David Golde. At one of his follow-up appointments, Moore asked Golde if his cells had any commercial value, Golde lied to him and said no. John suspected this and circled “do not” on his consent form. After that, Golde contacted him and harassed him to circle “do”. Finally, Moore filed a lawsuit against Golde and found out that he had been developing the Mo cell line for seven years. Moore had also found out that he filed for a patent on his cells because they contained immensely valuable proteins. Eventually, Moore ended up at the Supreme Court of California and Skloot states they ruled in Golde’s favor. However, Skloot asserts the fact that the judge agreed with him on the grounds of, “lack of informed consent, because Golde hadn’t disclosed his financial interests, and breach of fiduciary duty, meaning Golde had taken advantage of his position as a doctor and violated patient trust. The court said researchers should disclose their financial interests in patient tissues”(Skloot 205). Rebecca Skloot includes the judge because they are a person of authority, and…

    It was a cold summer night and I could see the sun setting over the lake as I was arranging the lawn chairs around the campfire. I tried to dodge the clouds of gnats as I was running back and forth getting all the cards, snacks, and music ready. Just as I finished I saw the thirty teenagers walking up the long path to the camp directors house ready to participate in an evening activity I planned for them. I watched the girls race to get seats on the lawn chairs and helped the others find seats so they didn’t have to sit on the wet grass. The girls were laughing and having fun but I was worried, the director was no where to be found. I quickly found a walkie and asked the 20 other people who were on the channel where she was. A few seconds later I was informed she was not on camp and I had to plan a new activity.…
