Book of Judges

1) The first Objection based on legal realist of law is that law is made by legal legislatures and constitutions which works in one state might not work in another and that it could go both ways and it is left in the hands of the judges to make a decision which could affect both parties. Law as stated above is made by constitutions and legislatures but the law is merely a state prediction as to how it will follow. The example given is of a taxi business which is owned by the Jones family who own…

In the years from 1787 through 1788 a number of papers began to appear that radically changed American government. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay wrote eighty-five different letters to newspapers that helped ratify the Constitution and create a system of checks and balances for the government that the United States should still follow today. The Framers constructed the Federalist Papers to avoid many of the problems that the American government is facing today such as the…

Dworkin’s meaning to integrity pertains to judicial decisions by judges on any case, that is, how to use precedent and techniques to determine the outcome of trials. Integrity as a tool, is used for judicial decisions, based of of communal moral standards- starving for a concept of fairness and equality- these decisions are rooted in precedent and discretion of judges; though possibly leading to a divergent from a cohesive voice, the philosophical concept benefits society overall. Integrity has…

Of the 318.9 million people that roam the streets in the United States about 32 million of them get summoned for jury duty each year. Of these 32 million very few know facts and have a basic knowledge about the jury process and what it entails. Theses Americans are trusted to decide a person's fate but don’t have any knowledge as to what is right and wrong. The current jury process is taking away from the validity of our jury system. How juries are chosen and what they execute while on trial…

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…
