Bench trial

The topic that I am analyzing is known as the foot in the door (FITD) technique. The FITD technique is defined as getting someone to agree to a small favor in hopes that the participant feels helped and/or cared for; the moment the initial favor is fulfilled, the person follows up by asking for an even bigger request. Two researchers in 1966 named Freedman & Fraser discovered the FITD technique. From their research, they concluded that it is one of the most effective compliance techniques. Also,…

Criticisms regarding elections only reinforce Justice O’Connor’s claim that judicial elections represent an opportunity for partisans and special interests to install judges who will answer to them. In Citizens United v Federal Election Commission , by allowing such groups to spend without limits on communication tools during campaigns, the Supreme Court upheld these concerns. According to the majority, spending represents an exercise of free speech, a right guaranteed by the First Amendment ,…

Lana shot a glance towards the baby blue eyes that she felt lying on her. She saw Mary Eunice's face blow up in a dark shade of scarlet. She saw her body stiffen as she turned her head to the ground and she started to rush towards the exit out of the day room. "Second time this day." Lana chuckled to herself while taking another long drag from her cigarette. She flicked the cigarette over the ashtray, and watched the tiny specks float down from the butt. She finally released the smoke from her…

setting her back on the ground. I high five the rest of my team and they hit me on the helmet with their sticks. We walk back to our bench and do our cheer. “Good game -team name-, thank you officials, WE LOVE YOU FANS!” Following the suit of the other team, we line up and go through the line, saying “Good game, good game, good game…” I walk back over to the bench and take off my helmet and chest pad, keeping on the clunky shin and foot pads for now; I’ll wait until I’m back to the locker room…

This is the story of a young man who is introduced to a gift he couldn’t imagine. The gift is what he imagines. His imagination or what he thinks can happen if really wants it to happen. This young man’s name is Brice Coltman. Brice Coltmans gift was discovered one day when he was headed to the gym (Brice is an athletic, smart, average man, so the gift comes from his intelligence and an unusual mixture of his genes when he was born). Brice was crossing the street and a car was headed straight…

Having endured months of intense conditioning, the time came for us to see if our work paid off. It was max-out day for varsity football. But not just any max-out day; it was bench press day. Every coach and player in the weight room knew that I was working toward this record since achieving second place in my freshman year. I did my dynamic warmup and hit a few reps of 300 to prepare. I grabbed my belt and tightened it accordingly; ironically, it grew a conscience of its own and decided not to…

Richard’s case is completely sensitive, anything that can be connected to his trial would be extremely important. So in order to make his legal process with a jury, Richard would have to make great life important decisions. We would need to find facts in which can direct the judge to not incarcerate him at all or just for a short period of time. This would be better than having Richard go through a bench trial. It’s not such a good option to for a judge to make the full decision because that…

Peters he can be liable for civil capacity because of the pretense of the verbal contract that was discussed on November 2. Since a verbal contract was created Dr. Peter would be a defendant if Sam decided to put him through a civil trial. If this becomes a bench trial, where only a judge is involved, Dr. Peter may win because those it was a verbal contract it…

Drug Court is a successful option for many addict offenders. The Drug Court program focuses on rehabilitation for the root of offenders problems. Unlike regular probation, Drug Court allows the offender to have a more focused experience in the court system. Drug Court requires the participants to test negative on a urinalysis report weekly and also to participate in AA/NA groups or other recovery self-help groups. Through Drug Court, offenders are treated with the expectation of treatment being…

A case management conference occurs before the beginning of the trial, and works out how the court proceeding will progress. It is an opportunity for the parties to decide if they would like to find an alternative dispute resolution prior to going to trail. It is also a chance for both parties to make sure they understand the information provided by each other, and settle any issues before a trial commences. Throughout my time at Land Court I learned a lot about the processes involved…
