They believe that every evil and misfortune that is incapable of rational explanation is blamed on witchcraft (P476). A people of that kind of thinking can 't be convinced otherwise by laws or rewritten laws, in other words, the codification of the law that Bentham proposes will not help the sub-Saharan African in this particular predicament. Codification…

rule of law and that means we have to have an independent judiciary, judges who can make decisions independent of the political winds that are blowing.” Caroline Kennedy, along with the founders of our nation, believes that to truly establish a just federal court system, we must create a branch of the government that is held accountable to the law and not the enticing-yet corrupted-motives of the public. While electing federal judges may appear to be the more “democratic” option that allows…

Lawyer, a profession that practices or studies law, is a career I wish to pursue because I could help innocent people, have an intellectual challenge, and have flexibility. I have been interested in this career for along time, but I just thought I could actually become a lawyer. The reason why I like this career is the challenge of becoming a lawyer. For instant every state has their own set of laws a lawyer has to follow, or the lawyer could get into a lot of trouble. The only challenge I think…

Haggart had consented to a fair fight between him and Mr. Jobidon; only to have the misfortune of having Mr. Jobidon to go beyond the scope of the given consent and to, unintentionally, cause Mr. Haggart’s death. When going through this case, the judges found themselves bound by the Common Law, stating that Section. 8 (2) of the code had provided…

do judges apply the law? This question has stimulated many theories about how far legal rules guide a judge when it comes to their foremost job: decision making. Does a judge simply just apply rules to the facts of the case? Of course, “the importance of rules as a basic building block of law can hardly be doubted,” but it is argued that judicial discretion can also be a powerful tool when it comes to making judgements within the law. There are differing schools of thought on how far a judge…

most human beings have and do every day without even noticing. We tend to “Judge a book by its cover.” But you never know what could be in that book, may it just be a clear white cover with just the authors name, or a colorful active cover, that seems more appealing. It’s all about the material inside, that we wouldn’t know what that material is unless we start to explore that book. Same thing with humans, we tend to judge off their appearance, backgrounds, or households. But we have to learn to…

where it is material and where the court has greater expertise and competence than the administrator (or administrative body) . That is not to say that judges will be best positioned to make the final interpretation of an error of law in every case; interpretations of law do not inherently make themselves known to judges or administrators .
