    The legal system of America exists for resolving disputes, maintaining order, and protecting various liberties and rights from violations or unreasonable intrusions by persons, organizations, or government. In Jonathan Harr’s A Civil Action, the formal moments of the Woburn case show how, in many cases, the legal system fails to promote justice, truth seeking, and fairness. First and foremost, the adversarial nature of American law, specifically in civil cases, prevent the discovery of the truth. In the adversarial system, two sides clash head to head in front of a neutral fact finder and the idea is that the truth should tip the scale. The verdict in theory should be just and fair.…

The bill basically incarcerated a large percentage of African Americans and Latinos, especially on drug offenses (the sentence for powdered crack cocaine (Caucasian drug of choice) was less than the sentence for crack (African American and Latino drug of choice).…

    Would you be willingly to let the wrong candidate, who has been known to lie repeatedly, be the president for the next four years?

This is where the Clinton campaign is having trouble during this year’s election. Hillary Clinton had plenty of opportunities to be honest, but many times it has been diluted.…
