Analysis of Judicial Misconduct by Identifying Motive and Strategy to Expose it. The growing number of litigants outraged by their experience of judicial bias and abuse of power, most obvious in bankruptcy, probate, real estate, landlord, and family cases, will find useful an analysis of why judges engage in misconduct. That analysis identifies a motive and, more importantly, leads to the fashioning of a strategy to deal with the underlying problem.

Murder trials are tough; custody battles are tougher - each custody trial has its own dynamic. The focus must always be what is best for the child. The test is not what is best for either parent. Of greatest import is the relationship dynamic between each parent and the child. In most high-conflict custody cases, the family dynamic that prevailed in the home before separation finds its way into the courtroom. How the parties argued during the relationship, how the parties implicitly negotiated their marital and relationship roles, or how the parties raised and interacted with their child(ren) are all factors that find their way into the courtroom. Not surprisingly, courts are presented with two different movies, so to speak. Political correctness has no part in what is best for children.

The literature on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) over the past decade has expanded the concept of PTSD to include symptoms reported from extensive studies on bullying in the workplace done in the UK and Australia, ongoing research into Legal Abuse Syndrome, and the various conditions treated by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Current thinking is converging on the expanded concept of Complex PTSD. Complex PTSD refers to symptoms of PTSD that, untreated, may last a lifetime resulting from prolonged, negative stress profoundly affecting the quality of a person’s life. Van der Kolk’s research clearly demonstrates that no one greets a traumatic event in a vacuum. Early childhood trauma causes vulnerability toward succumbing to critical events by developing PTSD. It is important to note that all people experiencing the same event do not become equally symptomatic. This means any life altering, negative, prolonged stress can and does create hormonal, emotional, mental, and physical symptoms. This includes stress from litigation. (Van der Kolk, 2004 Kinchin, 2001 Huffer, 1995 Baker, 2005)

Running Head: ROLE OF LAW AND COURT IN TODAY’S BUSINESS ENVIROMENT1 ROLE OF LAW AND COURT IN TODAY’S BUSINESS ENVIROMENT2 Role of Law and Court in Today’s Business Environment Elvis Seumanu ETH/321 Willie Larry JR January 28, 2017 Abstract The discussion is focused on the roles of law and court in today’s business environment where the writer examines the difference between the federal courts and the state court. More so, the paper describes the concept of judicial review as used in the United States. It also explains the laws and regulations affecting a longshoreman working in Hawaii. Finally, the paper accounts for the alternative dispute resolution (ADR).From a precise analysis and examples in the discussion, every individual in the business environment can learn and understand the role of laws and courts in the environment they operate in and therefore strive to abide by the constitutional legislation and rights. A court is a chamber where justice is administered, or trials are held. All countries have a court to ensure justice prevails and ensures the law is enforced according to the constitution. In the United States, we have different levels of courts with different structures and among them are the federal court and the State court. The federal court is headed by a chief justice appointed by the president, followed by the president of the Supreme Court, chief judges, and the judges (Williams, 1995). On the other hand, the state court has fewer responsibilities and operates under the federal state where they handle civil cases within the state like Hawaii islands. The main difference of the duo is their jurisdiction, the region they operate and the law they enforce, federal courts handles criminal cases from all the states following the constitutional laws and the state court handles civil matters and petty crime cases within the state region following the state laws. The discussion below examines the role of legislation and courts in different environments in both the high level of the judiciary, federal court and the state court about my present job of a longshoreman dock worker) in Hawaii islands. The judiciary is composed of different agencies that work together to ensure that every decision made is constitutionally right. Considering the United States federal court and the state court in Hawaii who operate under different laws that are the federal and the state laws at some point the rules may contradict or conform to the overall constitutional laws that govern them. Here comes the concept of judicial review that relates to the power of the court to examine the legislative decisions and establish whether they are constitutional or unconstitutional (Engdahl, 1992). All agencies operating under the judiciary must abide by the constitutional laws and hence the need for a judicial review to ensure the constitution remains the chief justice and law enforcement tool. In most cases, the Supreme Court makes the judiciar ...

Assignment: Evaluate the equity of due process in the United States. Instructions The United States judicial systems are based on the Constitution of the United States guaranteeing due process of the law. All court officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, public defenders, and judges are bound to an oath of office and the code of ethics to obey to the law. Everybody is equal in front of the law. Is this statement still valid? Create a critical analysis based on the following statements: The prosecutor evaluates the evidence and facts of a case and decides to prosecute or to nolle prosequi the criminal cases. Explain how the “the desire to win” can lead a prosecutor to pursue a case that should be dropped? Provide an example to strengthen your argument. Most minority offenders are indigent and can’t afford a private defense attorney. Therefore, the court will assign a public defender to represent the defendant. The public defender maintains a heavy workload with minimum budgets. Does the public defender behave ethically when he or she is pushing plea bargains in most cases or is plea bargaining a violation of a defendant’s rights to due process? In the prisons and jails, minorities represent most of the population. Determine if sentencing decisions discriminate against certain groups. Determine if more whites are sentenced to probation versus minorities, even when they commit the same crime. Support your answer with statistical information. Indicate if those sentences are unethical, and then determine what can be done to minimize discrimination. Most of the sentences are retributive, resulting in incarceration. Consider the three ethical frameworks for punishment: 1) utilitarianism, 2) deontology, and 3) peacemaking. Which framework should serve as the ethical framework for punishment today? Support your decision with an example. Length: 8 pages References: Include a minimum of fifteen scholarly resources. Your essay should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and APA standards. .

Demonstrate research skills using all modalities available for legal issues. 4.1 Identify the various forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Reading Assignment Chapter 1: An Introduction to the Fundamentals of Dynamic Business Law Chapter 3: The U.S. Legal System and Alternative Dispute Resolution Unit Lesson Introduction to Business Law Law—a brief definition: Business law is defined law as “the enforceable rules of conduct that govern the actions of buyers and sellers in market exchanges” (Kubasek, Browne, Herron, Dhooge, & Barkacs, 2016, p. 3). Business law intersects with the six functional areas of business. These include corporate management, production and transportation, marketing, research and development, accounting and finance, and human resource management. These are the core activities in business, and the law plays a significant role in all (Kubasek et al., 2016). Law is dynamic, and in some senses, it is a living thing. This core concept requires understanding of the origins of law. Law embodies fundamental rules of behavior and the institutions of defining, changing, clarifying, refining, redefining, and applying these rules. It is the natural consequence of humans living and working together. For an ordered society to exist, there has to be a way to resolve the inevitable disputes that come up. Law can be seen as the activity of subjecting human conduct to the governance of rules. Business law encompasses the rules of conduct for commercial relationships. What are the roots of law? At some point in your upbringing, you learned the difference between right and wrong. Your home life and the experiences you had in school, church, and/or in the larger community all impacted your viewpoint on right and wrong. One way to classify law is private versus public law. Private law is for resolution of disputes between private individuals or groups, whereas public law addresses disputes between private individuals or groups and their government. Both private and public law are significant for business law. Another classification is civil versus criminal law. Civil law governs the rights and responsibilities either between persons or between persons and their government. Criminal law is the body of laws that involves the rights and responsibilities an individual has with respect to the public as a whole. A clear example of the dichotomy was displayed in the O.J. Simpson trial—O.J. was found not guilty in his criminal case for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, but he was found to be legally responsible for their deaths in his civil case.

Please also reply to the student Stephanie Little RE: Week 6 Discussion 1 Supranational courts are judicial mechanisms that direct judge’s decisions across international borders and supposedly have a higher legal standing than decisions of courts in individual countries and they are part of a larger trend to promote global human rights and global justice. Supranational courts serve to help provide individual citizens who have exhausted all their legal means of redress but feel they have been wronged by the justice system in a particular country and they hold those responsible for international law violations to a higher standard than are present in domestic courts. The Rome Statue is an international treaty binding only on those states that formally express their consent to be bound by its provisions. Clinton administration signed the treaty in late 2000, but the Bush administration immediately “unsigned” it in 2001. After they “unsigned” the treaty U.S. congress passed American Service Members Protection Act, which prohibits American Cooperation with the ICC. This authorizes the president to use military force against the court if it attempts to prosecute an American Citizen. One of the main concerns against the ICC is the fear that the U.S., being as powerful as it is, and with military present throughout the world would be vulnerable to prosecutions. Obama took a different route with this treaty stating they will work with the ICC on prosecution on certain matters. The ICC also prosecutes against a panel of judges that could be walking a fine line of violating the 6th amendment. This is not exactly giving the rights to an accused person in a criminal case, if a panel of judges within that country are reviewing your case. When in the U.S. they have the right to a jury trial. I do believe these concerns are valid, especially with the military. The U.S. military is everywhere, like previously stated, if they could be prosecuted in another country they would become more of a target then they already are. One huge factor that will/can impede this principle is the media. The media will take one small statement they heard and run with it. Then it turns into something else and so on. During larger trials the jury is sometimes not allowed to review the news or any forms of media, due to possible swaying of the case. This keeps the case to only what is h.

ATTACHED ARE ARTICLES AND MY ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY TO ASSIST WITH ASSIGNMENT. Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review the article Blended Sentencing Laws and the Punitive Turn in Juvenile Justice (Schaefer and Uggen, 2016). In addition, please review resources included in your Week 3 Annotated Bibliography assignment. Finally, examine the Building a More Just Society case scenarios multimedia below. Background You work as a paralegal in a public defender’s office. In an upcoming presentation to a local legislative committee, the public defender plans to address criminal justice issues, constitutional principles, cultural sensitivity, and diversity awareness to promote social justice goals in local communities. You have been asked to assist the public defender in preparing the presentation. To this end, you will explore processes and issues in three criminal cases, applications for criminology, and relevant critical perspectives toward the goal of building a more just society. Your Task The public defender hopes to gain funding to support programs that respond to criminal justice issues and that promote a more just society. Earlier in this course, you had an opportunity to criminology through the works of Messer et al. (2016), Salvatore (2017) and Zoutewelle-Terovan & Skardhamar (2016). These authors consider how criminology may help to explain factors that associate with crime. Recall for example the consideration of life course theory in Messer et al. (2016). To help the public defender with preparation, you have been asked to create a paper between six and eight pages in length. Your description of processes, explanation of issues, and analysis of critical perspectives will provide the foundation for the public defender’s address to the local legislative committee, and thereby promote support for programs and laws that address large societal problems and that promote the social justice principles of equality, solidarity, and human rights to build a more just society. The public defender has come across three distinct cases that highlight the criminal justice issues that the legislature needs to address. Each case is preceded by a video summary that will comprise a portion of the public defender’s presentation to the legislative committee. To provide context for the public defender’s presentation to the legislative committee, the initial part of your paper should explain issues and describe processes about the following case scenarios: Case No. 1: Juvenile Justice and Law Enforcement Case Description (also included in the multimedia content) Through the process of waiver, the defendant was transferred from the juvenile justice system to the criminal justice system on drug related charges. If convicted, the defendant could receive a prison sentence. The defendant resides in an impoverished community. The public defender seeks funding for community treatment centers that respond to drug issues. When in cu ...

7 Victims and the Criminal Justice System: Cooperation and Conflict Part 2: Prosecutors, Defense Attorneys, Judges, Juries, and Corrections Officials CHAPTER OUTLINE Victims and Prosecutors Assisting Victims and Other Witnesses for the State Protecting Victims Who Serve as Witnesses for the Prosecution Dismissing Charges and Rejecting Cases Negotiating Pleas Victims and Defense Attorneys Postponing Hearings Cross-Examining Witnesses during Trials Victims and Judges Granting Bail Sentencing Offenders Appealing to the Supreme Court Victims and Juries Victims and Corrections Officials Keeping Track of Offenders and Receiving Reimbursement from Them Influencing Parole Board Decisions And Justice for All? Recognizing “Second-Class” Treatment Summary Key Terms Defined in the Glossary Questions for Discussion and Debate Critical Thinking Questions Suggested Research Projects LEARNING OBJECTIVES To recognize the various ways that prosecutors can serve victims who are their clients. To realize how conflicts can arise between victims and the lawyers assigned by the government to represent them in court proceedings. To better understand the complexities of the witness intimidation problem. To appreciate how victims and defense attorneys might become embroiled in conflicts. To discover how judges make crucial decisions affect- ing victims. To become familiar with the many Supreme Court decisions that affect how victims are handled during legal proceedings. continued 189 R O D D Y , A N T H O N Y I S A A C 3 7 2 7 B U This chapter examines what might happen in thecases that the police have solved by making an arrest. As the fate of the accused person is deter- mined by the criminal justice system, victims will interact with prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, juries, and—if the defendant is convicted— corrections officials. Cooperation is the desired outcome, but conflict might erupt over certain divisive issues with these criminal justice profes- sionals and the agencies that employ them. Two overriding objectives of the entire legal process ought to be the restoration of the injured party’s personal dignity, and a symbolic reaffirmation of social solidarity with those innocent persons who were targeted by cold-blooded offenders. One concern that lurks in the background throughout this step-by-step walk through the system is: Are all victims treated the same way, or are some indi- viduals and groups handled with much greater care than others? Note that this chapter does not explore how victims fare within the juvenile justice system. That is a separate system, which dates back to the early 1900s in most states. It resolves cases in which minors are accused of committing crimes of vio- lence against people of all ages, as well as property and drug crimes, plus status offenses (such as truancy and curfew violations). It is supposed to operate according to a different set of principles (emphasiz- ing treatment over p.
