CONLICT MANAGEMENT STYLES
Conflict is interference between groups of people or individuals with different values, aims, purposes and expectations. Conflict is a clash of interests, beliefs or ideologies which are opposing. External conflicts are conflicts originating from outside the organization. External conflicts arise due to intervention by third parties (Charles 2006).
External areas of potential conflict in U.S. court system include: when there is a disagreement between the lawyers and the court system on the circuit split. This occurs when some lawyers suggest that it is the Supreme Court which should solve a particular case while the judges have a different opinion to solve the case in another court lower in the hierarchy. A case may be determined by district courts making the involved persons to be unsatisfied. If the unsatisfied persons are not allowed to appeal their case in the Supreme Court, a conflict arises between the lawyers and the judges in the Supreme Court (Charles 2006).
There is always a conflict between the court system and the congress on the amount the court spends to carry on its activities. When the court system spends wastefully, this affects the appropriations process of the congress. When the court system is not efficient in its administration, the oversight of the congress is affected too. If the congress allocates little income for the court system, a conflict arises between the congress and the court system since the court will not be capable of carrying its activities with the little amount allocated. (Charles 2006)
If there is delay on deciding a particular case whose participants are held in custody, a conflict arises between the court system and the police department. This occurs when the court system breaches an agreement. The court system may allocate a particular time to solve a particular case whose participants are held in the custody waiting for the ruling. If the court delays the ruling, the police department’s activities are affected resulting to a conflict (Charles 2006).
