Trial Write-Up For the trial I was a lawyer for the Crown and did the cross-examination of Bobbie Bann and the closing statements. Our group’s goal was to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Bobbie Bann knew he was shooting Fallon King. We focused in on a few different areas, what possible motives Mr. Bann would have and the different holes in the story Bobbie Bann presented to the court. Looking first as the noise he woke up to, it was only the weathervane scratching against the roof, a…

they are the eyes and ears for pretty much everything. These individuals are the ones who schedule trial dates and handle a majority of the official paperwork. The court administrator I feel is like the middle man to everyone. In other words the lawyers bring in lawsuits and filings and the court administrator processes them. Once they are processed they are brought to the judge for review. Any changes that need to be made or special accommodations are made through the court administrator. This…

I have been a Criminal Justice Major at FAU for 4 years, but sometimes I still automatically think about what I learned on the television, rather than what I learned in my classes. Despite my learning about the Judicial System this semester, and my previous experience in other classes, my mind was still expecting something out of Law & Order instead of my textbook. I subconsciously assumed that the criminal case that I was sitting in on would be like those sixty minute spots I watch when nothing…

The ethics of plea negotiations raise the fundamental questions: “Are state and federal plea-bargaining systems fair? Does the ‘negotiation process,’ where the defense wields minimal bargaining power, provide for a system to achieve reliable results?” (Yaroshefsky, 2008, p. 1). Subscribers to dentonlogical perspectives consider plea negotiations unethical for several reasons. Plea negotiations are a violation of the due process rights of the defendant and they reduce their self-respect, whether…

I just now realize how hard it is to be a paralegal. I applaud them for doing such a great job behind the scene. Every time I watched the trial on TV, I only saw the Judge and the lawyers, but I never thought that there is a hardworking team behind it, working their best to Win the case and dealing with the stressed. This week three, it helps me more to understand of what is about the life being in the field of law. But, I am a kind of a person who believed that if you love your job, and love…

In cases, where the guilt was clear, it would be obvious that some individuals would be deprived of the right completely to have the justice system determine the…
