When a case is appealed and brought to the Supreme Court, it is left to the justices to decide the outcome of a case.…

Warren court was a time full of life changing events, whether they were good or bad they affected everyone. Changes were being made quite frequently to civil rights, judicial and federal powers. The Warren court was known for several different things such as: ending racial segregation, putting a stop to prayer in public schools, making the right to privacy very clear through the constitution, and much, much more. Without the Warren court, there is no say on how the United States would be right…

Wade, the district attorney of Dallas, Texas (“Roe v. Wade Facts: What You Need to Know about the Decision” para. 5). The District Court of Texas found that the law did violate Roe’s rights. The court denied a ruling that would have prevented the law from being enforced (“Landmark Cases of the U.S. Supreme Court” pg. 634). Wade appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which reviewed the case throughout 1971-1972 (“Roe v. Wade” para. 2). Due to the process and time of this case being…

death, but the life of the unborn child that she has inside of her. That unborn child has no say in if they will live or die. If the mother chooses to kill the child inside of her there are no legal actions for the murder of that child. In twenty nine states the killing of a pregnant woman and her unborn child can result in two counts of charges of first degree murder, second degree murder, and manslaughter. In 2002, Laci Peterson and her eight month old unborn son, Connor, were killed by her…

interesting to take this class during an election year, perhaps now is also one of the most interesting times to study a Supreme Court justice. I chose John Roberts for two reasons, first, because he was a conservative and it is very likely that Donald Trump will choose a conservative justice this year. Secondly, because I thought it was interesting that he became a Supreme Court Justice at a relatively young age. I wondered, “Did he come from a well-known family?” “Were they wealthy?” or “Did…

However, a plea bargain may induce prosecutors to over-charge a suspect in an attempt to bully them into gaining a plea bargain. Plea bargains are also not conducted in open court so there is a lack of transparency that occurs (Carp, Stidham, Manning, & Holmes, 2017, p. 226).…

The Polarized Court Prior jurisprudence says a lot about the Supreme Court today. The Warren Court—one of the most memorable Court’s in our nations history—hit many hot button issues of its time. An interesting juxtaposition is looking at the Roberts Court, who has had equally hot button issues of more recent times, and its approach. When I reflect on the Warren Court I am mesmerized by its legacy and impact on a more equal society, specifically, Brown v. Board of Education. The unanimous…
