Court Of Appeals Federal Courts
844 words

to separate the powers of the federal government
in to three branches: Legislative, Executive, and
Judicial. The prime function of the judicial
branch is to interpret the law in such a way that
rules made in the past can be applied reasonably
in the present. This function gives the courts a
role in policymaking. The Constitution establishes

Congress the authority to establish lower federal
courts...

into three parts. The first part is the Senate in

The Fight Theory And American Legal System
625 words
The aim of the legal profession is to seek out the
truth and provide justice for those who were
wronged. Lawyers represent clients who are on
opposite sides of the case, and who most often
have opposite views of the truth. In the legal
system there exist two opposing views on the
method of uncovering the truth. Many people do not
think that these two systems can coincide and
believe that they remain separate in their
procedure and efficacy. The truth system is one
which asserts that a methodical...

reflection of a societal natural moral order. It
is a philosophy that embraces overall goodness and
equality, but, that rejects the mere mention of
evil. It requires that a law be implemented while
respecting the fundamental rights of all its
citizens, and at the...

Self Defense In Criminal Cases
1,315 words
One of the frustrations faced by many businesses
is that after the perpetrators of crimes have been
identified, the District Attorney's office will
not pursue the case. One option is for victims to
sue the DA in an attempt to compel him to
prosecute, but this would be costly and proving
dereliction of duty would be difficult. The DA is
effectively immune. Other options are more
promising. The law should encourage (and
prosecutors' offices should welcome) private
preparation of criminal cases. Pr...

Hawthorne Describes Roger Chillingworth
1,000 words
People judge others they encounter based upon
their own values. These values are acquired
through experiences in the home, school, at work,
and with friends. A person is taught from their
parents at a very young age what is right and
wrong, but they may fail to realize that the
values they are taught are filtered through the
minds of those who teach. Therefore one is a
product of their previous generation adding our
his or her judgement to the values that we will
pass on. Hawthorne judges the ch...
