Court clerk

We all have the privilege to be attempted by our associates, and it is a thoughtful approach to include the group in regulating equity. There are circumstances in which the law is unjust, and it is the duty of a member of the jury to speak to the supposition of the general population. Serving as a Jury was a reasonable way for me to maintain an individual liberty and just to watch out for the government: making sure it doesn 't push unjust laws on fellow citizens. These reasons drove me to…

selective military hours. Realization hit at this point, knowing that I was now witnessing a family court case well into the hour that my misdemeanor trial was set to take place. Jogging down notes proceeded as the Judge began to lecture the defendant for not having a copy of his paperwork to offer both him as the judge, the prosecutor, and he the defendant. The defendant roughly apologized, as the judicial clerk circled back to the defendant’s table with his slip of paper, which the defendant…

Texas Judicial System The process of the Texas Judiciary System is long and complicated. The system is divided into many subdivisions under the 2 main courts. One for civil cases, which is the Supreme Court of Texas, and the one for criminal cases called the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Each process in the Texas Judiciary system has certain strengths and weaknesses. Even though the Texas Judicial system has been around as long as 1822 (Handbook of Texas Online), there are some reforms being…

Pursuant to Rule 59.04, Husband argues that the Court should alter or amend the Final Decree of Divorce concerning the following issues: (1) imputation of income to Husband; and (2) the Permanent Parenting Plan. The Court finds these requests are devoid of merit. The purpose of a Rule 59.04 motion to alter or amend a judgement is to provide the trial court with an opportunity to correct errors before the judgement becomes final. In re M.L.D., 182 S.W.3d 890, 895 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2005) (citing…

attorneys can file pretrial motions. A motion is a request to the judge for a particular action. Motions to obtain prosecutorial evidence or suppress evidence are most common. In the case of a jury trial, the members of the jury are sworn in. The court clerk will read the criminal complaint. At this point, the prosecution begins the trial with an opening statement outlining the case. The next step is an opening statement from the defense. A defense attorney is not required to make an opening…

The court visited was ‘Uxbridge Magistrates Court’. Magistrates (also known as justices of the peace) are 21,500 volunteer judicial office holders who serve in magistrates’ courts throughout England and Wales. Most of the criminal court cases that are heard in England and Wales take place in a Magistrates Court. A Magistrates' Court is usually presided over by three magistrates. They are called Justices of the Peace. The panel of judges is often called the Bench. Magistrates are not paid, but…

In his play Twelve Angry Men, Reginald Rose brings us back in time to 1957, to a jury room of a New York Court of Law where one man, Juror #8, confronts the rest of the jury to look at a homicide case without prejudice, and ultimately convinces Juror #2, a very soft-spoken man who at first had little say in the deliberation. Throughout the play, several jurors give convincing arguments that make one think about whether the boy is “guilty” or “not guilty.” Ultimately, one is convinced by ethos,…

This court observation was my first time ever stepping into a court house let alone watching an actual trial take place. Like a lot of people, I assumed it would be just like the shows about criminal justice on TV such as Law and Order. I would come to find out that though there were multiple similarities between the two, there were also many differences and things I did not expect as well. Through this court observation I was better able to understand how the official court system works in…
