wonderful!’ you will hear them say. But why is the Queen considered to be such a ‘special’ person? The Queen ascended to her privileged position by inheriting the title and rank of her Father, King George VI. Just as he did from his father, King George V, and as all the other monarchs did right back to the beginning of that particular royal line. The person who founded the line was presumably the toughest, or most influential, Lord of the surrounding lands. And through bloodshed, or…

Mr. Abbadi presented to the evaluation session poorly groomed in a jail-issued jumpsuit. Hygiene and grooming were inadequate as a malodorous scent emanated from his body during the interview.

Numerous tattoos appeared on his arms and neck. Large print letters were tattooed on each of his…

“It would seem as if the rulers of our time sought only to use men in order to make things great; I wish that they would try a little more to make great men; that they would set less value on the work and more upon the workman; that they would not forget that a nation cannot long remain strong when every man belonging to it is individually weak.” (Tocqueville 2) Mark R. Levin exemplifies a highly intelligent and practical plan that, if enacted, would strip away the overbearing amount of power…

About thirty percent of defendants are found incompetent to stand trial every year (Gay, J. G., Ragatz, L., & Vitacco, M., 2015). The standard for competency was set by the supreme court case Dusky v United States. Dusky v.

The United States has given us a set of rules and rights that protect and serve the people of its country. The citizens of the United States are born with rights that some of us may or may not know, but the government and police are sworn to protect these rights with the upmost respect. The 1966 Miranda v. Arizona court case was one, if not, the most influential verdicts in this country. Our Fifth Amendment, which protects citizens from self-incrimination in the courts, supports the Miranda…

Ohio, requires that speech be “directed to and producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite and produce such action” before it can be Constitutionally abridged (Brandenburg, 981).
