During the course of a child custody case, the judge will appoint sole or joint custody to the parents. If the case was just filed, then the judge will grant you a temporary order. During a temporary order, it is much easier to ask for a change in the visitation because the judgment has not been finalized yet. However, once the visitation becomes final it will be difficult to get the judgment changed. If one parent has sole custody, then the other parent will have visitation rights that were…

In Albert Camus’ The Outsider, the court weighs Meursault’s acte gratuit, or assertion of individual will and freedom, against the outrage of the entire community. Likewise, Franz Kafka’s The Trial also juxtaposes the agency of the individual with the strength of the justice system, and displays how the trial suppresses K.’s psychological freedom and agency. As both novels demonstrate how the law subordinates the individual to the community, justice therefore appeases the public rather than…

Robert Mulligan’s 1962 film adaptation of “To Kill a Mockingbird”, is an enlightening tale that delves deep into the pre- civil rights era of southern America. The year is 1933, and an African-American man, Tom Robinson, is put on trial for the rape of neighboring white woman, Mayella Ewell, by the folks of a quant Alabamian town, in Maycomb County. The picture of American history illustrated by this film is that of an ignorant and impoverished majority in a bleak period of our nation. While one…

Harper Lee’s childhood and personal background had a great effect on her writing in that what she had experienced and witnessed over her lifetime inspired many of the most distinct aspects of To Kill a Mockingbird, such as the setting, one of the major…
