In his ruling, the Federal Judge Collins found Freeman guilty of 14 counts involving embezzlement, theft of assets, filling of wrong tax personal return, mail fraud and misleading a federally insured financial institution. Because of this, he was given a 33-month-jail term and fined a total of $150,000 that he misappropriated from the union and used to fund his relatives’ businesses and spent in Hawaii during his lavish wedding with his Executive Assistant (now wife).

In the case of John Arryo, there were many instances in which legal processes were not correctly followed, both on the part of Arryo as well as crucial members of the criminal justice system. Throughout the arrest and during the entire preliminary hearing, things got worse and worse for John Arryo, due to the fact that he was not knowledgeable on the process, as well as the fact that the judge, officers and prosecutors did not seem to care much about following legal protocol.

As John Arryo’s attorney, I would first inform him of the mistakes that he ...

The policies that are formulated and implemented by the organization have a significant influence on the achievement of goals and targets set by the organization. The policies that are adopted by managers thus determine whether or not an organization is successful (Murray, 2014). However, the most difficult task that managers is changing the culture of an organization when need arises. This is because of the fact that it is deeply entangled in the way business is conducted within the organization and employees may find it difficult to adopt a new mindset to doing things. According to Robbins & Judge (2012), “ ...

Reading the chapters, I realize that just like Jesus was portrayed differently through the gospels, a person’s life is viewed differently by people. There is a specific trait or character that a person will appreciate in a person, which may be quite different from what the other may appreciate. This will depend on the occasion or place that such impact was done. What I may know about a particular person may be quite different from what somebody else knows. This hence implies that we should not be quick to judge a person basing on what we have simply been told or part of what ...

The court that I visited was the Boston Municipal Court which was located at the Government Center T stop on the Green Line. The name of the judge was Honorable Charles R. Johnson. The hearing that I attended was a criminal case involving theft. The defendant was present. He was about 30 years of age and was charged of stealing the money from a grocery store. There was a witness who testified before the court and was the cashier during the time the defendant stole the money. The cashier was a 25 year old girl who was on duty when the crime took ...

In most democratic nations, the executive, legislature and judiciary are the three government arms/branches (Hamilton, 13). They carry distinctive roles that are essential to the government functioning. They work closely together to ensure smooth running of the government.

The executive

The president and the vice president together with the cabinet form the executive. Different governments have a different executive structure. In the USA, it also constitutes several departments like the state, Interior, education, defense and Transportation. The president appoints the several secretaries to head the different government departments. The executive mandate is to implement, enforce laws and facilitate daily government operations.

The Legislature

The ...

The constitutional doctrine of the independence of the judiciary is one of the key pillars of a functional judiciary. However, this has been used by most judges and judiciary officers a means to escape accountability for their actions and decisions. They hide behind the confines of judicial independence thus making biased decision premised upon irrelevant matters.

Therefore, it was surprising to see that judges and judicial officers are subject to administrative oversight and accountability. What is even more encouraging is the fact that judicial officers are urged to conduct their business in an ethical and legal manner. In addition they are ...

An adversarial system is a justice system where parties to a dispute present their case before a neutral or impartial third party, either a judge or jury. Each party gets their turn to present their side of the story; this is done through arguments, evidence and law. During the proceedings, the third party acts as a referee between the two sides. An inquisitorial system on the other hand is where the third party is actively involved in the dispute as the investigator. In such system, the investigation is done by the court and if a claim or offence is established, the court then moves to ...

Legal self-representation in any legal matter without the assistance of a legal counsel is known as acting "Pro Se", which actually means "on one's own behalf". It may apply in the following scenarios: court proceedings, when creating a last will, filing a deed, handling one’s divorce and filing for bankruptcy (The Standard Legal Network).

Herman Webster Mudgett infamously known as Dr. Henry Howard Holmes was a serial killer who entered a plea to defend himself and Judge Arnold granted the request. Holmes had built a three-story "Castle “which he ...

Introduction

A trial by jury or jury trial is a legal process in which a jury either makes findings or decision of fact which are then applied by a judge. It is distinguished from a bench trial, whereby a group of judges or a judge make all the verdicts. The jury trials are utilized in a substantial share of grave criminal cases in all common law legal methods and lay judges or juries have be incorporated into legal systems of many civil law nations for criminal cases. Only the Canada and the U.S. make practical application of trials in a wide diversity of non-criminal cases. Most common law ...

Legal –Based Ethical Dilemma

Whenever a person is faced with an ethical dilemma, the solution is to weigh the different options and their impacts and settle for the best. According to experts, ethical dilemmas in the work places are bound to happen at any given time (Robinson, 2003). However, the biggest problem is that, in most cases, the decisions that are taken are not always the best for all persons. In some cases, criminals have been left to go scot-free even after killing people in cold blood. Although these are cases that are witnessed in real life, there are no exceptions in some films ...

Availability Bias: Availability bias occurs when whereby beings behave in certain ways in their environment. For example people tend to judge the probability of something occurring based on the first outcomes that comes to the mind that is the more memorable or vivid event. For example in the media there are a lot of cases of kidnapping and plane crashes. People assume that these events are common yet they are rare.

Egocentrism Bias: Occurs when an individual tends to judge that he is better than others. For example, the person sees himself as more charitable to help the poor or ...

CITE: USA Today, Oct. 2, 2013, page 34.

FACTS: Katherine Jackson, mother to Michael Jackson brought a suit on negligence against AEG Live LLC. AEG Live LLC was a concert promotion company that produced Jackson’s comeback concerts.

1. The American Civil Rights Act amendment act of 1964 emphasized the role of quality education as key to the realization of the American dream. It is not by coincidence that the United States has achieved one of the highest levels of high school graduation rates in the developed world. The United States education system has not only been formidable in its focus on holistic education that includes pursuit of talents and academics at the same time, but has also received accolades for its universality. However, the education system has not escaped controversy regarding quality and mode of operandi. ...

1ST ISSUE: WHETHER S 16 OF DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT IS VALID

The provision is invalid on the grounds of unconstitutionality. Article IV, s 1 of the US Constitution provides “Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state.” The Court, in Mills v. Duryee, 11 U.S. 481 (1813) explained that the Full Faith and Credit Clause means that not only are records of public acts, records and judicial proceedings in one state admitted in another, but their effects as well. Section 16 should, therefore, ...

A city Housing Authority operates city owned rental property. The Housing Authority issued the following regulation:” ‘Family' means a number of individuals related to the nominal head of the household or to the spouse of the nominal head of the household living as a single housekeeping unit in a single dwelling unit, but limited to the following: (a) Husband or wife of the nominal head of the household. (b) Unmarried children of the nominal head of the household or of the spouse of the nominal head of the household, provided, however, that such unmarried children have no children residing with them.

Introduction

Recruitment and selection is a difficult process, as it involves various elements to judge the right candidate for the organization. However, today, there are several ways of judging the candidate for a given organization. There are written tests, group discussions, providing tasks, making them solve problems in groups, and finally, conducting personal interviews. The Human Resource Management tries to evaluate the competencies and skills of an individual from several perspectives (Strasak et al., 2007). We would like to judge the candidates on the basis of their behaviors, attitudes, knowledge, and skill-set demonstrated in the group discussions and personal interviews.

The juvenile justice system is a foundation in the society which is granted responsibilities and power; it mirrors the adult system of criminal justice in that it also has three basic components like the adult system of justice. Its components are courts, police and corrections. The juvenile justice system brings the juvenile delinquent in contact with the court system if found guilty and the local police. A police officer is the first contact that a juvenile offender has with the juvenile system. He/she is considered the gate keeper of the juvenile system. Police officers are the most visible officials in the ...

Crime and the criminal justice system

Crime is an act that violates or breaks a given set of rules or laws and which may lead to the person being prosecuted. Crimes vary from region to region and also from the different countries. The constitution governs acts of crime, disputes and also defines the laws of a county or country. When a person commits a crime, the kind of action to be taken against that person and the equivalent punishment are defined within the laws.

Basis through which the society determines the criminality of an individual’s actions

The society uses two main models to determine criminal acts. A violation of any of the issues addressed by this model leads to a criminal act ...

Section One: Criminal Justice System

The criminal justice system is an extremely essential part of government. It is the main body tasked with ensuring that justice, law and order are part of the society. These are essential elements of any society that aspires to ensure continuous growth and development. It is only by having competent, effective and efficient criminal justice system and institution that are not only trusted by the citizens of a country, but also by citizens of other nations that a country will realize its potential. The economy, security, agriculture, industrialization, commerce and trade and all other important sectors of life are extremely dependent ...

Over a long period of time, the federal government has had struggles in instituting the rules and guidelines on matters of sentencing. This is so because of the sensitivity of the judicial sentencing authority especially following the Reform Act of 1984 which came as a replacement to the former traditional sentencing policy. The Reform Act of 1984 is a more strict authority which is proscribed by the enactment of mandatory guidelines to deal with sentencing. There also arose the limitation brought by the Supreme Court’s decision on the constitutional grounds with the exercise of mandatory guideline provided for in the sentencing ...

On January 21, 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court decided that corporations had equal rights as individual citizens with regard to campaign contributions during political elections. This therefore implies that corporations also enjoy the protection of the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights (Freedom of Speech). The court case was Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (Levin-Waldman, 2011, 178). The above reaction to the court decision is from the liberal side and I agree. I think that the decision was not good and not respectful of the rights of citizens. Democracy is no longer powerful when campaign elections can ...

This paper aims at discussing the question of the sovereignty of the British Parliamentary system based on the outcome of Jackson v. Attorney General 2005.According the constitutional provisions of the British legislative system there lacks a clear line between the extent of interference between the House of Lords and that of the House of Commons. The ruling of Jackson v. Attorney General 2005 supports this hypothesis based on the structure of arguments presented by the Jury in giving the verdict of this case. This paper intends to use the outcome of this case to determine ...

Are Leadership and Management Different?

There are a certain key differences between leaders and managers, even though both the concepts must go hand in hand. In a book published in 1989, “On Becoming a Leader”, Warren Bennis highlighted following differences. In his opinion, managers administer, but leaders innovate. Because of this the managers just maintain, whereas the leaders develop. This is what makes a manager a copy, whereas the developmental efforts make a leader original. Further, the manager focuses on the structure and system, whereas leader focuses on people. This is further exemplified by manager’s focus on control, and leader’s emphasis on generating trust. In other words, manager ...

Management: Course Final Paper

Introduction
In earlier studies, organization change has been defined as the breaking down of existing structures and the creation of new ones. In other words, it is a transformation of an organization between two points in time. Such a scenario can develop anxiety, uncertainty, and ambiguity in the minds of employees due to differences in experienced, socio-demographic characteristics, attitude, knowledge and behavioural patterns. For overcoming the employees’ nervousness management, organizational change agents put stress extensively on employee readiness predictor variables. As clearly stated in the literature, employee attitude and employee readiness factors pose a significant affect in preparing employees physically and ...

Intention and knowledge of a crime cannot be of the same type of mens-rea. For example, murder and culpable homicide are intentional and knowledge based respectively. The intention based mens rea places mental element of murder foremost as an intention to cause death. At a lesser degree is an intention to cause a specific bodily injury which the offender knows will cause death of the victim. This is almost the same as the mental element for murder as the offender knowingly causes the bodily injury that it can cause death. As such, the offender is liable to be convicted for murder. Next ...

Expression is protected in other locations that are opened up by the government for unrestricted public speech. These locations of unrestricted public speech include areas such as the plazas or space in front of federal buildings. Picketing in traditional ‘public forums’ is also protected by ...

Mandatory minimum sentences are sentencing limitations in the United States that are dictated by law (Trial.laws.com, 2013). Certain crimes have been deemed so important by the United States legislature that they carry with them a minimum sentence that cannot be reduced by a judge; this is vastly different than most crimes, as the judge is allowed to take into account the circumstances of the crime when dictating a sentence (Trial.laws.com, 2013). The most common types of crimes that have mandatory minimum sentences are drug laws, but they are by no means the only types of crimes with these types of sentencing structures ( ...

1). Professionalism is a term, which is often used to identify a person at work. As a rule, by this term people describe such person, who is respected at a work place and achieved a lot in the professional field. Also, there is a number of other qualities, which allow us to recognize true professional skills. Thus, for instance, professionals are well known for their knowledge. They constantly master their skills, participate in a variety of events, which help to develop their knowledge. True professionals always master their knowledge in order to be the best in their specialized field. Another feature is competence. Professionals always keep ...

1. The function of Bentham’s hedonistic calculus is to provide a moral theory of what is right and wrong, based on the idea that what gives the most pleasure and happiness and the least pain to the world is the correct action. An example of how to use this theory is for legislators to create laws that would cause more suffering and pain to criminals than the pleasure their crime provided. An advantage of using the calculus is tries to provide the best results for the most people. The inherent problem with the the calculus is that some of ...

Introduction

John Austin is a renowned name in the field of jurisprudence. Etymologically, the word jurisprudence is formed from two words, ‘juris’ meaning law and ‘prudentia’ meaning prudence or knowledge (Anupom, 2011). Jurisprudence can, thus, be defined as the knowledge and science of law that is essential to ensure due justice to the people. Austin’s work was a remarkable start in the direction of the systematic legal system of modern age. Austin’s work emphasised that sanctions are important to ensure conformation to laws and the sovereign is the supreme authority that issues these laws. Austin’s description of ...

Question One

Interviews are those normal question-and-answer sessions between an investigator and either a victim or a witness. Most interviews are always carried out outside of the lock-up, in rooms designed specifically for interviews. Interrogations can be described as normal questioning of a suspect in a crime. They are mostly held within the safe confines of a lock-up facility.
Before an investigator starts interviewing or interrogating someone, the objectives of the exercise must be laid down. The objectives can be to prove innocence, to have valuable facts and to get a confession. The next step involves watching every move that the party makes. This includes noting ...

PDAs, iPods, iPhones, iPads, most cell phones, and other data devices are miniature computer systems designed to be highly mobile. Describe how such devices could alter the typical investigative procedures taken to collect information for the purpose of processing a digital crime. Processing digital crime usually follows a pre-determined investigative procedure. This process is referred to as a digital forensic process. The digital forensic process constitutes a three-step procedure involving acquiring the digital evidence, an analysis of the evidence and a comprehensive report on the analyzed evidence. In the past, when a digital crime was thought to have been committed, the first response ...

International Legal and Ethical Issues in Business

Abstract

For an agreement to be considered a valid contract, it should have four vital elements that include an offer, acceptance, intention to be under legal consequences, and consideration. If any of the mentioned terms are missing from the contract, it is not legally binding. Objective theory of contracts is a legal notion that rejects the enforcement of thelaw that appears to be too good to be true. The contract, according to this theory, is binding only if a reasonable person from outside will judge objectively that the offer has been made, and it has been accepted. The soft drink company, in ...

Drug courts play a vital role in the criminal justice system. The war against drug, which had started some decades back, is one of the causes of the ballooning of prison population in the US. Today, the US has the most populated prison system in the world (Hale et al 2013, p. 517). Drug courts can whittle down prison population and cut down recidivism rates. They add a facet to the criminal justice system – one that does not only judge and incarcerate, but help in restoring a person as a good member of society. The help that drug courts offer, thus, includes ...

Furman v. Georgia

In the above case, the U.S. Supreme Court found for the first time that the death penalty in this case was unconstitutional. The petitioner William Henry Furman was committing a burglary in a home when his weapon accidentally killed a resident therein. Georgia court convicted Furman for murder and awarded death sentence. Along with this, two other cases Jackson v Georgia and Branch v Texas that awarded death sentence for rape were decided by the Supreme Court on the question whether death sentence in these cases constituted cruel and unusual punishment violating Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments.

1. What did Piaget mean when he said that the preoperational child "lacked conservation"?

Piaget meant that a child does not understand that the properties of an object remain constant even though the physical appearance may have changed. For example, 1L of water in a glass of a diameter of 5cm is equal to 1L of water in a glass whose diameter is 10cm even though they may have seen it being poured out of the same container into the glasses. A child lacks operations to manipulate the idea that the water’s properties are conserved and the amount is the same. Rather, he/ she will see that the water which rises higher in the glass is ...

Government is divided in three branches namely executive, legislature (congress), and judiciary. Each of the three branches has different responsibilities and independent powers such that powers and duties allied to one branch do not conflict with those of the other branches. Separation of powers is a necessary to ensure a balance of power and prevent any branch from using such power arbitrarily. Separation of powers is a system-based regulation that enables each branch to limit the powers of another.

In line with the principle of separation of powers, congress has the power to change the arrangement and the federal courts’ jurisdiction. The ...

The legislature affects the pipeline project through the legislations it has put in place regarding oil transportation. The specific legislation affecting the project is regard to safety ...

Role played by race/ethnicity in the criminal justice system

Historically, race played a big role in the criminal justice system, especially in relation to punishment for perceived or actual criminal conduct. In the early twentieth century, the extent of punishment meted out depended on one’s race. Virtually all cases that involved minorities resulted to strict and harsh sanctions, especially cases involving African – Americans (Rosich, 2007). These sanctions served two purposes: to deter criminal conduct among the minorities, and to suppress any uprisings.

This was compounded by the fact that those in charge of the criminal justice were from the majority. All juries, judges, legislators, and law enforcement ...

- Justice ought to be given to all the people regardless of their social and economic status. In a situation where a body to administer justice is influenced by external factors, it becomes difficult to be relevant to the people (Schmalleger, 2013). In cases in which a state government influences sentencing by considering the prevailing economic issues, is not a simple issue to determine among its legality.

The consideration of the impacts of putting someone in prison, or on probation is a necessary issue so that people can continue to participate in the economic activities. I would support the states governments that advocate for ...

Introduction

Poland became the 2nd independent nation after the United States to adopt a comprehensively formulated constitution to define its government structure in 1791. The authors’ of Poland’s constitution found great inspiration from the philosophy and text of the United States constitution that had been adopted four years before. Similarity between the two constitutions is therefore very conspicuous.

In both constitutions, citizens are given almost the same nature of rights including the basic rights. The US and the Polish constitution guarantee the upholding of all civil rights and freedoms including political, social, personal, economical and cultural. Additionally, all citizens of ...

Criminal justice is an extremely critical in development of public policies. There are various issues that are associated to justice with vehemently many questions being raised. However, the main question is on the ability of criminal justice to exist without values. The answer is that criminal justice cannot exist without values.

The first element that may be used to defend this answer is concerned with the fact that human ...

In regards to relativism and subjectivism we can establish that holding a moral belief is a subjective opinion, but using the divine command theory can lead us to the conclusion that morality has the possibility of objectivity. Opinions could be based on personal culture/folklore, family history, or media portrayal. Unless one can strip away all of these subjective opinion inducing factors, an individual’s specific morality cannot be objective and most likely won’t be relevant to a large amount of ethical situations. This bias obviously limits objectivity, since opinions are decided by a person’s background and social peers instead of morality. ...

- United State Interest in Afghanistan

The Afghanistan war was conducted by the American soldiers in a bid to stamp out the terrorist group of al Qaeda. The group enjoyed support by the extremist leadership of the Taliban within Afghanistan. The first few years of the war provided success with the military group scattering and some of the members moving to the mountainous regions.

The presidential address showed that the group was regrouping which would be a problem to the homeland security (Military, P.3). The regrouping members of the terrorist group have been blamed for causing insecurity in Pakistan region. The group has started causing insecurity within ...

Statutory interpretation is the process by which courts and judges give meaning to enacted legislation and consequently apply it to a particular case. In the English as well as the Wales legal system, the doctrine of separation of powers prevails whereby Parliament is the supreme law maker. The Executive is charged with the responsibility of implementing the legislation as passed by Parliament while the Judiciary is the final arbiter which interprets legislation as enacted by Parliament. Thus, in tandem with the doctrine of separation of powers, the courts must keep within their ambit and ensure they do not arrogate to ...

According to research conducted by Zunker (2005, p. 132), personality traits have two different approaches that define them. These include the nomothetic method and the idiographic one. However, the nomothetic method believes that individuals inherit their personality traits and there is no way the surrounding environment can affect them. However, the idiographic approach to personality differs with the nomothetic one because it draws focus on entire personalities of people. For example, it specializes on factors such as richness and complexity that are imperative in understanding the deeper details of an individual. Ferguson (2009, p. 132) also asserted that there ...
