    Obergefell V Hodges Case: The Importance Of Law

    Law and the Interest that it Holds on People Being able to study the law has always been an interest of mine because there are so many different directions that it can take. People defending a certain law can win but so can a person that is trying to change a tradition, and thus can change the whole way the system works and is looked at by U.S citizens and that includes the rest of the world. I like knowing that the U.S has the power to make laws in our own country and cause and effect somewhere else, which can benefit people from those places as to gain more rights than what they had before.

    Summary: The United States Justice System

    Living in the United States in 2017, witnessing the inequalities of our federal, state and local justice systems is sadly an everyday occurrence. Through the powers of social media and the advancement of technology and communication people who live outside the United States have witnessed the unfair rulings and the inhumane acts minorities experience through their justice systems. Being naïve to the fact that the United States is truly a free country can be detrimental to the people new to life in the United States. Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Michael Brown are a few names of people who were mistreated by law enforcement in the past few years. The list can go on for pages for the amount of accusations being made upon the justice…

    The Criminal Justice System

    Drug addiction is the root of crime in the United States, in a 1997 report 80% of State inmates reported past drug use reported by Chris Mumola (1999).

A recent study stated 1 in every 15 African Americans are incarcerated, which is substantially greater than White men: 1 in every 106 (The Top 10 Most Startling Facts About People of Color and Criminal Justice in the United States).

    Pursuing A College's Mock Trial Team

I did not choose to be a lawyer because anyone in my family was, in fact, no one in my family worked anything close to it. My mother has worked as a waitress, a seamstress in a factory, and finally as a baker since arriving in this country. I took it upon myself to try and become something more, something that my mother did not have the opportunity to be. As the oldest child in a house of three I fulfilled the function of the interpreter in the family, which gave me the sense of responsibility and maturity that came with that role.…
