Corey comes before the court today for the charge of contempt of court by withholding information. In Corey’s attempt to reestablish the integrity of Salem’s courts, Judge Danforth and his fellow abusers of power strive to silence Corey from exposing the court’s corruption.

For an injury to be…

I chose the court proceedings because I know they go through a lot of cases every day, therefore I thought it would give me more opportunities to understand how things work. I spent close to four hours in the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, Victorville District. More specifically I sat in department V10, which is a criminal court.

Argument for Tangible Detriment: The District court improperly granted summary judgment as a reasonable jury could find that Prufrock suffered a tangible detriment when he was denied tutoring and received the worst English grade of his college career after he rejected Crewel 's offer to "take care of things" for him if he was "a good boy".(DEP.) To determine whether plaintiff suffered a tangible detriment, courts consider whether 1) plaintiff suffered a material loss and 2) the loss…
