Good morning Jody, excellent work on citing the information and very nice work choosing the excerpt of the article. You properly mention the authors at the beginning of your paraphrase and inform us at the end of it the page where the original excerpt is found. Your paraphrase is also very good but in my personal opinion in order to fully grasp all the information given in the article I would have commented the cause of the support room becoming a courtroom, expressing that the kids didn’t like being criticized by the teachers on their writing so they defended

    Argument Analysis: The Technology Era

    Technology is changing our lives and whether we like it or not we find ourselves having to go along with it. Writers, readers, composers, researchers and so on need to find a way to adapt to the change that comes with what we call “The Technology Era”. As always there will be two sides to any change; the one that will agree with it and open their arms to it, and a second that will forever talk about how great times used to be when things were done the only way they know to do things because they do not like change or cannot adapt to new. Nicholas Carr (2008) states “I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading.…

    Plea Bargaining Case Analysis

    Based on my opinion, plea bargaining should continue to be a part of our judicial system and each case should be tried on its own merits. We have some advantages and disadvantages to our justice system. Plea bargaining does serve a purpose in our criminal justice system. It saves the state resources and distributes benefits to one who takes on the responsibility for their crime." Approximately 95% of all criminal cases are resolved through plea bargaining" (Bohm & Haley, 2014, p.13).…

    “No freeman shall be taken, or imprisoned, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any way harmed, nor will we go upon him nor will we send upon him, except by the legal judgement of his peers or by the law of the land” (The Magna Carta). Clause thirty-nine of the Magna Carta, written in 1215, establishes Western society 's desire for equal and fair representation in regards to the legal system. When the Founding Fathers of the United States of America were forming the Constitution, fair representation, for white males, was of great importance. This is a continuing theme throughout the ever-developing American society and can be seen in the amendments made to the Constitution. The 1966 Supreme Court decision of Miranda v. Arizona under Chief Justice…

    Plea Bargaining Case Analysis

    The mayor of ACME city has made a discretionary decision, based on her opinion of criminals getting off easy due to plea bargaining, to ban the practice of plea bargaining by prosecutors. This discretionary decision is based off of the opinion that criminals are being let off easy and not being properly punished through the process of plea bargaining. Nevertheless, this decision is not a decision that should be agreed with. The argument against the mayor’s decision will be demonstrated through the positive effects that plea bargaining has on courts including the defense, prosecution and judges along with their staff and resources. Secondly, the penalties of removing plea bargaining would not solve any crime problems but would create and inequality…

    Facts Of An Appellate Court Case

    Facts of the case are not generally an issue for the appellate courts because the purpose of appellate courts is to ensure that the trial court acted according to the law. The court system in the United States is divided into separate functions in order to provide a system of checks and balances to ensure that people’s rights are not being violated. Trail courts are the triers of fact. This is the court where evidence and witnesses are heard and decision are made by determining the facts of the case and applying the appropriate laws. Appellate courts and their judges base their decision only on how the law was applied and interpreted.…

    Criminal Court Case Analysis

    The purpose of releasing a defendant on bond is to ensure that the defendant will make an appearance later on to continue the criminal justice process (Bohm & Haley, 2014). The setting of a bond allows defendants to be released to continue their day to day life but return at a later date to finish their case. Bond setting is a right that some defendants have under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution, it is not guaranteed (Bohm & Haley, 2014). In this scenario, I believe that the judge did have a right to release Danielle on bond. Both of her offenses were felonies, but they were not considered violent crimes.…

    The Supreme Court often checks Congress of the constitutionality of the laws that it passes. If a citizen feels that the law that Congress passes violates their rights, then he or she will be able to challenge the law if the Court decides to hear the case. When the Supreme Court rules a law unconstitutional, that law is now void. This would clearly irritate someone in Congress, wouldn’t it? In the past Congress has attempted to limit the effect of congress two different ways.…

    Procedural Justice Case Analysis

    In our readings this week, we discussed procedural justice, due process and whether they are related, in my opinion they are. Procedural justice is the perception that decisions are implemented in fairness and transparency. Due process is when the employer advises the employee with a written notice of the reason for the termination and is presented at least 30 days prior to termination. A copy of the notice will also be sent to the Department of Labor office where the employee’s office is located. When the true process of procedural justice is implemented, people feel they have been treated with respect and dignity allowing the individual to accept outcomes they may not like (Burgess & Cast 2013).…
