complex case, one could argue that these documents, if discovered, would provide a clearer understanding of events. Second, personal narratives throughout the case would have key to understanding character motivation, but the secretive nature of the tribunal has hindered this possibility. Altogether, more documentation could have provided a better understanding of the case, especially the inter-period from…

The theft of rangatiratanga from Māori by Pākehā in New Zealand is closely intertwined with the loss and subsequent revitalisation of Te Reo. Both rangatiratanga and Te Reo are essential Māori culture – to lose just one is for Māori culture to be diminished. Māori culture has faced strong opposition since the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840. To understand rangatiratanga today, it is important to turn to history. In this essay, I will look at the state of rangatiratanga through the…

current one. The consequence of the meeting was the International Military Tribunal. The Tribunal's constitution put forward the standards the litigants were liable to. The board of Allied agents chose to hold the trial in Nuremberg. Nuremberg was picked in light of the fact that the city served as the focal point of Nazi exercises and offered pleasant offices. Attorneys from the Allied forces presented an arraignment to the Tribunal on…

Imagine living in Los Angeles, California. Imagine only being a short drive from Disneyland, but never being able to go in. These unfair practices frequently result in civil unrest, war, and revolution. Transitional justice mechanisms, the steps that a government will take to democratically recognize human rights violations and pay tribute to the victims of such violations, help to usher in a more just future. South Africa successfully used several mechanisms to transition from apartheid to…

1a. The court system of England and Wales as we know today has emerged through the evolution of society and culturization. A demonstration of how drastically the system has changed, is that since the nineteenth century, there were particular courts for equity and common law. Forward to present day, the structure of higher courts were set by the ‘Supreme Court of Judicature Acts 1873 and 1875. In detail, the earliest courts are known as magistrate courts, with the newest court forged in 2009,…

marketplace - progressing from the common law notion of caveat emptor to an intensive legal framework recognising the fundamental need for consumer protections. While much of this contemporary framework - comprised of statutory bodies, law courts and tribunals, and working in conjunction with a myriad of other non-legal avenues - is highly effective in its delivery of justice, there remain areas of concern currently inadequate in safeguarding rights. Thus, although legal and non-legal measures…

The text which I have chosen to write about through the course of this essay is “The Freedom of the City” by Brian Friel. This play was first showed in February 1973, a year after the events of Bloody Sunday. It is quite clear from reading this play that Friel uses the events of that fateful day as his inspiration. Bloody Sunday is an event which lives on in the memories of many people and occurred during the height of the “Trouble’s” in Northern Ireland. This event occurred on the 30th of…

The Scotland Act 1998 was responsible for the devolution of significant areas of civil law such as family law, planning law and bankruptcy law to Holyrood. The administrative workings of the Scottish legal systems are far removed from that from the rest of the UK. This includes the structures of the courts, court procedures and the funding of legal aid.
