administration of justice of the juvenile. While discussing the Nirbhaya gang rape case and the role of the accused juvenile; discussing the role of media trial in the present day becomes extremely relevant. ‘Media trial’ or ‘trial by media’ is a phrase popular in the late 20th and early 21st century to describe the impact of television and newspaper coverage on a person's reputation by creating a widespread perception of guilt or innocence before, or after, a verdict in a court of law.

thought that we would have more judges at the federal level rather than the local level to manage the country’s court cases. However, now considering how many cases must go to local courts it now makes sense. They must overlook things as small as minor traffic citations, to major crimes and very seldom are they sent up to high courts. The nature of the crime directly affects what court it will go to. There are different…

In his famous dissent in Plessy v Ferguson, Justice John Harlan wrote that the law was "color blind." Recently, Harlan's phrase has found new currency among critics of government affirmative action programs that began to spring up in the 60s and 70s. May the government use racial classifications when it does so to benefit, not discriminate against, racial minorities that have historically been the victims of discrimination? The Supreme Court first considered that question in 1978, in the…

not make the stakes any less important or productive. The Supreme Court is supposed to be immune from democracy’s demands; term limits would not help the function of the court if so then politicians who have faced Washington for decades should also be constricted. Limiting the terms of public office is unresponsive to any significant dimension of our politics. (David Harsanvi; 2014)…

Likewise, our media sources need to be diverse and unbiased in order for our citizens to be properly informed. “Diversity in media is something that is intrinsic to a democratic society.” Jeremy Corbyn’s words still hold true today. Women’s involvement brings fresh perspectives to our courts and our…

The reason I chose Horace Gray as my Supreme Court Justice is that he was the deciding justice on some landmark decisions in United States’ history. For instance there is United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) as well as Ball v. United States (1896). Another reason I chose Gray as my Justice was due to the fact that he appeared to be really intelligent. He accomplished many things at a much younger age than normal people would. For instance he enrolled into Harvard at just the age of thirteen. He…

population growth the Texas Supreme Court was overloaded with cases and it was taking longer and longer for people to get a case through the court system. The Article V of the Constitution of 1876 created a separate Court of Appeals to hear the criminal cases. Unfortunately, this only made the problem worse because the new structure was very complicated. Lawyers often had a hard time determining if their case should be appealed in the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court. In 1890 the populated…
