Biblical judges

Law in the Middle Ages consisted of many important courts and jurisdictions. The judicial system offered three types of courts to solve many different problems. The first type of court was the church court. The Church court or Ecclesiastical court is “a tribunal set up by religious authorities to deal with disputes among clerics or with spiritual matters involving either clerics or laymen” (“Ecclesiastical Court”). The church court was considered the most powerful with a big jurisdiction.…

Before entering the building at Three Pemberton Square where the Massachusetts Land Court is located, I had the opportunity to speak with the security officer outside of the building. Prior to entering I wanted to confirm that I was in the correct place, if for no other reason than to ensure I was not walking into somewhere I should not be. After explaining to him why I was there, he described to me that I needed to first go through security, and then take the elevator up to the fifth floor…

not a miracle worker. The Court will have to satisfy all parties involved in this type of tragedy. The DUI Lawyer Los Angeles can, for first time offenders, get the fines and/or jail time reduced. The more DUI or offenses you have the less leeway a judge is going to hand down. For most DUI cases especially a Los Angeles county DUI the police department will try and get the maximum a good DUI Attorney wants the minimum. If you are charged with a DUI you need a DUI defense and a good DUI…

also envelop the common practice employed by judges of “dispassion” to prevent “emotion from exerting any influence" wherever such opportunities exist in order to maintain fairness and equality to all in the courtroom regardless of standing or background. This admonition and instruction by Judge Ito to the jury also alludes to the virtue of testimonial justice described by Miranda Fricker in Epistemic Injustice in that the jury and as well as the judge…

In the courtroom justice knows no racial difference, gender, nor emotion, justice is based on facts and evidence. In Harper Lee’s book To Kill A Mockingbird Atticus Finch makes this argument showing us his belief in the Justice system and the trust he places on the jury. Atticus enforces his ideas by providing convincing evidence and reason. Atticus urges the jury to use common sense and not to base their decision on racial prejudice. For example, Atticus states “It has relied instead upon…

seemed like a very unnatural and intimidating task. Having no exposure to courts with the exception of dramatized television shows, I expected all who worked in the court to be big scary officials. This idea was proven to be quite the myth when the judge of the murder case I observed dismissed certain issues presented by lawyers with a casual “Peace” or “I don’t want any drama, man.” My peers and I were very confused soon after our arrival to the superior court, as we were intending on…

After reading the story “The myth of the Latin Woman”, I was not surprised that people still to this day carry the mindset of racial stereotyping. Even though that no matter how much a person tries to avoid being prejudged and cast away from their culture, they would still be judged from what people see portrayed in the media. However even until this day, I am and will forever be a victim of being labeled due to the color of my skin in this society. I myself as well as others in society am…

#1 –– Under what circumstances might prosecutors engage in mis-conduct? What are four types of prosecutorial misconduct? The textbook makes it very clear that attorneys undergo many unique pressures from multiple sources. They have an enormous obligation to represent their client in the best possible manner, despite the fact they may be dealing with a weak case with an inadequate amount of evidence. Therefore, often times attorneys have to over emphasize the relevance and cruciality of their…

That doesn’t mean they don’t exist or matter. Even the closest friends we think we know the best, we really don’t. Nobody could know an entire person's life from beginning to end. There’s so many things we don’t know about others, so who are we to judge them? In the story called The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, there’s 2 very disparate cliques. One called…
