, sum up what might be revealing about the juvenile justice system in its current incarnation. They say:
"It is social institutions in the broader community -- families, churches, schools, social welfare agencies, etc. -- which have the primary mandate to control and care for young people who commit delinquent acts. It is only when individuals or institutions in the community fail to diver (or decide not to divert) that the formal processes of the juvenile justice system are called into action (213)."

Perhaps consistent with the public's perception of juvenile delinquency, especially crimes by violent young offenders, it is going to be more important than ever for the peripheral agencies, and especially the family, to step up to the plate and address juvenile delinquency. The court system, although it has shown positive steps by raising the death penalty to 18 years of age, is nonetheless demonstrating a lack of empathy with…...

Specialized courts are alternative courts that are narrowly focused in terms of the types of cases they hear. The judges that oversee these courts are considered to be experts in their fields. Cases that fall within their parameter are routed to them. As Zimmer (2009) notes, “by transferring the adjudication of particularly difficult or complex legal issues or factual disputes from the scope of general jurisdiction courts and concentrating their adjudication in a specialized court of limited jurisdiction, several desirable objectives are attained” (p. 1). These desirable objectives include: 1) the efficiency of the judicial system, 2) a more efficient legal system, 3) more uniformity in terms of application of the law, 4) expertise is provided, 5) case management is more improved, 6) eliminates forum shopping by litigants, 7) increases the overall flexibility of the court system, 8) provides an administrative agency review mechanism, and 9) provides consistency of administrative…...

Innocent individuals are wrongly convicted for the following 8 reasons. First, eyewitness testimony can be inaccurate: this happens when an individual is convinced that he or she saw the defendant partake in criminal activity -- yet they are mistaken in their identification for whatever reason (they may be exaggerating their role as a "witness" for vainglorious reasons, for instance).
Second, testimony can be perjured: this means that a witness simply lies on the stand in order to cause harm to the defendant. Third, the availability or unavailability of DNA testing can cause innocent persons to be convicted because of "crucial" evidence that is used or misused which would otherwise exonerate them. Fourth, DNA testing is inaccurate: this happens when, in the case that DNA evidence is used, it is actually inconclusive or corrupted in the process of obtainment, so that it can actually have the opposite intended effect -- rather than…...

Cannibal Cop" -- hen does evil thought become a crime?
Gilbert Valle III was a 28-year-old former New York City police officer who was arrested after his wife reveled to authorities that he was obsessed with the idea of kidnapping women, torturing them, raping them then eating their flesh.

His wife had come upon his computer record of his visits to chat rooms (including "Dark Fetish Net") that deal in unspeakably evil activities. She saw that he had fantasized kidnapping women -- perhaps as many as 100 -- tying them up, raping them, torturing them, then butchering them and cooking them in the oven, after which he saw himself eating them.

He had what is called a "bondage fetish," among other fetishes, but all his planning, which consisted of Google searches for how to make chloroform, how to kidnap women and more, never actually materialized into real life actions. In other words,…...

Witnesses, Cross Examination, Physical Evidence 1
The scriptures confirmed my views about how criminal procedure should operate according to each topic. Deuteronomy is clear about needing more than one witness, which aligns with common sense. To prevent a “he said, she said” type of argument in court, it is necessary that there be other supporting witnesses. However, as Loftus (1980) has shown, even eyewitness testimony can be unreliable for a number of psychological reasons; and witnesses can also engage in conspiracy, so relying solely on witness testimony should not be considered full-proof. Of course, Deuteronomy 19:21 also offers a way for courts to deal with false witnesses: “Your eye shall not pity: life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.” Cross examination must occur so that judges can get to the truth of the matter and discern whether witnesses are being honest or are using deceit…...

Court System
The basic structure of the United States legal system comes from the Constitution. Constitutions are living documents that lay down principles and rules, as well as overall functions of how law should be used within society. Constitutions tend to be macro in scope, in that they define responsibilities between the three organs of U.S. Government (Judicial, Legislature and Executive). Laws are individual (micro) edicts that are made to define specific issues under the Constitution. The Constitution is the basic framework, or the strategic direction of law; defining relationships and allowing for reasons that are fundamental to other laws (e.g. privacy, search, etc.). Laws are the manner in which the tactics of the legal system and/or philosophy are carried out and used within society. A Constitution defines the theoretical basis of law, while laws incorporate the process of law and allow the government and its officers to use the Constitution…...

Conclusion

A fully accepted explanation of the court system has yet to be achieved in the literature, and is certainly beyond the scope of this paper. The agreement that exists between the disparate arguments presented above, however, suggests that these authors are formulating a new trend in judicial theory that could soon replace the inadequate and simplified view taken by many of the courts. This understanding will doubtless continue to be refined for decades, if not centuries.

How does a court system cope with a “changing of the guard” when a new administration is elected and key executives and managers are replaced, and/or when policy changes direction as a new political party assumes power?
The best coping technique is instituting a system characterized by power separation. Accountability may be attained within the domain of administrative rulemaking by means of various institutional plans and practices. One may perceive bureaucratic accountability to be a classic agent-principal issue. Governmental cabinets, rather than parliaments, form the main bureaucratic controllers, being ideally positioned, owing to their central location in administration as well as legislative politics, to guarantee that implementation will be governed by the very political agenda that drives lawmaking. Ministerial workers are answerable, via a hierarchical command chain, to the Prime Minister, other ministers, the cabinet, and a coalition or the majority party. Thus, whilst drafting regulations, the very politicians responsible for…...

The State of Florida vs. George Zimmerman

The Case in Brief: A Summary of Important Facts

Charged with second-degree murder in one of the most publicized court cases in recent times, George Zimmerman was on 13 July declared a free man after the jury deemed it fit to render a not guilty verdict. The charge in this case stemmed from the shooting to death of an individual by the name Trayvon Martin. Pursuant to the said shooting, the state charged that Zimmerman stalked and shot at Martin who was unarmed at the time of his…...

Obtaining a warrant to take blood sample of a person suspected of drunk driving but has refused to take breath test takes longer time and undermines the essence of time in this process. The Chief Justice John G. oberts Jr. together with other judges; however, expressed discomfort with what they termed government sanctioned bodily intrusions using sharp needles (Liptak, 2013).
Missouri prosecutors' petition was occasioned by a case where one Tyler G. McNeely was pulled over for speeding on a highway. Tyler, according to the Supreme Court, had the telltale signs of intoxication (Liptak, 2013). He had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and had the smell of alcohol in his breath. Besides, his performance in field sobriety test was poor. Tyler was adamant about taking breath test. He did not consent to taking blood test either. A blood test was nevertheless taken and the results showed that the blood alcohol level…...

dual-court system and explain the three-Tier nature of the U.S. federal judiciary.
Dual Court System

Dual-court system represents a legal structure supporting 2 coexistent court systems, at local and national levels. Two among the world's oldest and most highly recognized dual-court systems can be found in Australia and the U.S. In both nations, state courts enforce local laws, while federal courts concurrently enforce national law. An extent of overlap exists, between the breadth and scope of nation and state laws; however, typically, the two court systems are completely independent of one another (What is a Dual Court System? (with pictures), n.d). The U.S. and Australian constitutions outline the standard federal law applicable to the nation overall. Federal courts largely aim at upholding and implementing constitutional mandates. Individual state governments are authorized to create their respective local laws applicable to state residents. While federal laws are invariably a minimum requirement, states can,…...

In conclusion, Ethiopia can improve consumer judicial protection by implementing several key measures. Firstly, creating a dedicated consumer protection agency that is independent from government influence and adequately funded to carry out its mandate. This agency should have the authority to investigate and take legal action against businesses that engage in deceptive or unfair practices. Secondly, the country can establish a system for alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation or arbitration, to provide consumers with a faster and more cost-effective way to resolve their complaints. This would help alleviate the burden on the court system and ensure that consumers have....

Conclusion The Ethiopian legal framework for consumer judicial protection falls short in several key areas, leaving consumers vulnerable to exploitation and harm. In this essay, we have explored the need for comprehensive and effective consumer protection measures in Ethiopia and identified areas where the current framework fails to meet consumer needs. To enhance consumer judicial protection, Ethiopia should establish a specialized consumer court system that provides accessible, efficient, and affordable dispute resolution mechanisms. This would reduce the burden on the regular court system and ensure that consumer cases are handled by judges with expertise in consumer law. Additionally, Ethiopia should adopt a harmonized....
