In law, a frivolous lawsuit is one that is presented when the party had a reason to know that the defense or the claim was futile.

Have a company policy

The first thing to understand about a sexual harassment complaint is that it is unlike many other workplace conflicts. Sexual harassment is an illegal act, whereas some other conflicts are not illegal, but issues of personality issues, inappropriate competition, or other problems which, although serious, do not violate federal law. Therefore, if Ana’s company does not have a written sexual harassment policy, the first thing the HR department should do is develop one and provide training so that all employees are aware of its provisions and understand how to abide by them (Heathfield 2016). Such a policy could ...

Personal Statement

“Sasha, ihre fahrt ist hier.” At my teacher’s demand, I ran from my seat with such enthusiasm that I have never experienced before, and left behind everything I owned.

My parents were in military, so I spent most of my early life apart from them as they relocated every three years. This day was not only peculiar in that my mother came to pick me up, but it was the last Thursday I would ...

On November 5, 2009, the son of Palestinian immigrants, Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan randomly fired into a crowd at a processing center at Fort Hood, the largest active-duty military post in the country (Army Major kills, n.d.). One would be hard pressed to find a larger military stage to conduct such blatant murder. Despite the Major shouting ‘God is great’ in Arabic, “Allahu Akbar”, just before he opened fire on soldiers who were either returning from deployment, or getting ready to be deployed, there was a denial by the government to officially label the shooting as an act ...

The right to counsel is often considered as a right to a fair trial as enshrined in the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Amendment states that it is the right of a defendant to be represented by an attorney. In case they cannot afford legal services, the government is mandated to ensure that they are represented by a legal counsel. Every defendant has the constitutional right to be represented by legal aid (Silva, 2012). The right to legal counsel was successfully pushed for by an unlikely America hero by the name Clarence Earl Gideon. He successfully ...

Abstract

The issue of how criminals are sentenced and treated is a problem within in the United States and around the world. The sentence given for a crime that is committed is not always equal from one state or region to another. Diversion programs are therefore a method that have been created to offer a second chance to first-time offenders and youthful offenders that are deemed worthy of a second chance. These programs are designed to be supervised and carried out by certified and experienced professionals at the behest of the court, and are meant to curb any and all ...

Introduction

Gender equality is one of the most controversial and complicated issues that have plagued human societies for many years. In fact, the issue regarding gender equality has been an age-old problem that have prevailed even in the contemporary society. The problem in gender equality lies on the concept of equality itself, primarily because the concept of equality is too broad to be explicitly defined. The case of Stella Bliss, for example, is a manifestation that the concept of equality is subjective and depends on the prevailing perception on equality. According to the merits of the case, Stella Bliss, a ...

The Lawyer-Client Relationship The lawyer-client relationship should be based on trust and confidentiality. Under no circumstances should a client lie to his or her lawyer as well as under no circumstances should a lawyer incriminate his or her client for telling them the truth.

Introduction

One of the most common strategies of criminal defense attorneys when representing a defendant who has an unusual condition such as a mental abnormality, is to argue either that regardless of their actions, they are nevertheless not responsible for the crime or that they never had the capacity to commit a crime. The reason that criminal defense attorneys can make these arguments is that criminal law recognizes a number of unique situations where otherwise criminal conduct should not be subjected to a determination of guilt and the offender should be exempted from the crime (LaFave, 2000). These arguments, which ...

Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution

Introduction

The United States Constitution was framed without a Bill of Rights, and subsequent amendments came to be parts of the Bill of Rights, although this was framed amid the lack of confidence of an oppressive regime. The fourth, fifth, and sixth amendments provided rules to safeguard individual liberty. The Sixth Amendment protects citizens against unfair denials of life and liberty by ordering the federal government to give protections to all suspected criminal offenders (Chhablani, 2008).

The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against unpredictable violations of privacy by government authorities. This protects ...

Broadly speaking there are two kinds of crimes that are committed against a state, county or city. The two categories are blue-collar crimes and white-collar crimes. In the olden days, blue-collar crimes referred to crimes committed by an individual considered to be of low socioeconomic standing. To be precise, these were crimes committed by people of the working class. Today, these kinds of crimes are the kind of crimes attributable to rage or emotion (even though there are exceptions) and which entail the use of violence. In most cases, blue-collar crimes are not as calculated as white-collar crimes. Examples ...

Law enforcement agencies and the government have over time been synonymous to the enforcement of the law for public good.

The Watergate scandal brought to the surface an array of secret and illegal activities conducted by the members of the Nixon administration. These activities involved the adoption of unethical means ...

Becoming a lawyer is not something that anyone should take lightly. It is a challenge, yes, but more than that, it is a great responsibility: a responsibility to those clients that one will eventually serve and a responsibility to the community as a whole. Learning the law is only the first step in becoming a lawyer, and it is perhaps not even the most important part of mastering this profession. Obtaining a JD is an educational experience, but practicing law is something beyond education. It is a calling; it is an ethical responsibility that I feel is very deeply ...

The prison system in the United States has followed a system where prisoners are locked away from the rest of society and their families never to be seen nor heard from ever again, it has become a common theme with prison systems.

Led Case

The plagiarism case of Led Zeppelin is significant because of the band’s iconic character. As for the side of the Spirit, the band who accuses Led Zeppelin of an alleged plagiarism, it is fair to raise such legal concern due to various reasons. First, the opening of Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin is closely similar to the Spirit’s Taurus (Rubin and Lewis, n.p.). The latter deals with the situation as if something was stolen from them, in which case, the construction of Stairway’s opening part. On the other hand, Led Zeppelin’s attorney claimed that ...

Business, Company and Conveyancing Law

Part B Q. 1 Salomon v Salomon & Co. Ltd. (1897) is a landmark case on the incorporation, features, and nature of companies. The case is important in the formation of businesses in some respects. Firstly, the significance of the case with regards to the formation of companies is that it introduced the principle of a company being a separate, autonomous, distinct or independent entity from the owners or even the promoters of the enterprise. This is important in that it shields the owners from any liability that may be incurred on behalf of the company about its creditors. Further, ...

Essay in English Law Whether it is Unfair for Criminal Justice Insiders to Sit On Jury

Most likely, it is unfair for someone who works in the criminal justice system to be chosen to participate as jury selection-members, in the British legal system. Prior to the time of the Global Recession of 2008, one report discussed several aspects of the UK-defined protocol of what a jury-system process entails. Commentary was made regarding the UK jury system historical roots, trial-jury size, secrecy, independence, and selection (“Jury Service – Crown Prosecution”). One set of erudite Australian Professors noted that the advent of social media had fundamentally caused problems, especially during trials (Wallace et al. 2011). Consider, however, the ...

In 1516 Thomas More published Utopia which described a perfect society situated on an unknown island. This book has become an embodiment of the perfect society from these times to the present. This book was not only a beginning of a new age in evaluating a prototype of the society, but also a new stage in literature. This book is still the most provocative and has a lot of opponents. As a proving example, The Guardian (‘Utopias, past and present: why Thomas More remains astonishingly radical’, 2015) reveals that this book is not a favorite one in Buckingham Palace. ...

Introduction

People commit a variety of crimes on a daily basis. Some crimes are minor incidents that do not have an extensive consequence or sentence to uphold by the offender. There are crimes that are committed that are in a higher bracket and these crimes have a more serious sentence. People often commit a crime for a number of reasons. Some crimes committed were not even done by the person who was charged in the incident. There needs to be proof or evidence that can place the alleged criminal at the crime scene when it accrued. It is important that ...

Abstract

The criminal justice system in the United States provides Constitutional guarantees for all who are subject to the laws of the land. The three most controversial aspects of this system today are Search and Seizure, arrest, and interrogations. While these three aspects are the foundation of police action throughout the nation, there are several unresolved problems in how each of these processes is in use today. The presence of the law is not always the same as upholding it. The cases which made the case for the citizens are moving into obscurity with modern variations of the problems making ...

Introduction

The criminal justice system in the United States is complex and has a trove of advantages for the defendant in comparison to several other nations. The rights include the right to an attorney and the right to remain silent during a police interrogation. Apart from these rights, the process to find someone guilty and sentence that person is a tedious process. Unlike justice systems which rely on circumstantial evidence, the American Justice system insists on the presence of physical evidence to corroborate. In addition, a lengthy process ensures checkpoints in different areas to prevent convicting innocent people of crimes ...

When talking about goals in a relationship, people often focus on what should be done by another to make another one better. For instance, when we talk about a client and a defense lawyer relationship, then it is the lawyer’s job to do all the work. However, this is not the case. To come up with a logical defense, a client should be able to cooperate with all the plans laid out for him. This is similar with a nurse and patient relationship. The nurse in this relationship is naturally the one who carries the responsibility to make ...

Many people agree that the most severe crimes deserve the most severe punishment. A great deal of people views the death penalty as a just and the most appropriate measure in this case. But do you know how many executions were carried out since 1978? Only thirteen. And these thirteen deaths cost about $4 billion taken from the pocket of California taxpayers (Alarcon and Mitchell 541). Impressive numbers, aren’t they? These figures speak for themselves. The death penalty system turned out to be ineffective and has to be replaced with more productive measures. The Proposition 34 is a ...

Eugenics is defined by Coutts and McCarrick (1995, p.163) as the methods used in perfecting the human race thorough genetic technologies or the traditional genetic selection (Sparrow, 2010, p.288). But this definition was twisted to defend the enhancement of human beings by sterilizing those who are considered to be inadequate (Coutts and McCarrick, p.1995, p.163). The definition of an inadequate genetic heredity was defined by the 1924 Virginia Eugenical Sterilization Act to include feeblemindedness and sexual promiscuity, which is believed to be be passed on to the next generation (Claude, 2004). The first test subject for the sterilization law ...

Ideally, forensic health nursing entails the practice of nursing regardless of the region on the global map especially when legal system and health intersect. As such, forensic nurses make a tremendous contribution to the integration of law and medicine. In fact, they are tasked with the provision of specialized care to patients who in most instances are perpetrators or victims of trauma. I agree with the post that the fact that hundreds of employees are always in and around the building reduces the risk of occurrence of crime (Simmons, 2014). However, the presence of the many corners of the ...

He was much concerned with the Native American’s race that was slowly vanishing and therefore he set to record their history through works of art. Catlin had enormous contributions to the setting and preservation of the culture and way of living of Native ...

A matter of ongoing ethical concern for nurses, doctors and other medical professionals is the need for clear guidelines when it comes to the decision to suggest that a patient or family consider filling out a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order. These kinds of advanced healthcare directives are becoming ever more common as our population ages. While it has been widely accepted that medical professionals should respect legally implemented end-of-life treatment preferences for those patients whose lives are drawing to a close for those who suffer a sudden and nonrecoverable illness, the technical and practical aspects of how these ...

The Constitution of Texas divides the power of state movement into three specific departments namely the legislative, executive ...

ABSTRACT

Forensic psychology has grown in popularity and the assessments these professionals conduct can be incredibly beneficial in determining a criminal defendant or offender’s mental stability, ability to stand trial and the level of threat they may represent. That being said in order for forensic psychologists to provide these assessments it is required that a number of the Ethical Standards Code, which is the core structure of modern psychological practice, be augmented or adapted to allow the psychologist to be beholden to the law enforcement who hires them and not directly to the subject; they must be able to ...

In the court systems, various felonies are penalized following the court's guidelines. There are a variety of particulars that go into a sentencing pronouncement. An individual who commits a financial fraud may go to jail for a longer period, compared to someone who commits murder, as is the case of Bernard Madoff, who went to jail for 150 years for committing financial crime and Karla Homolka was sentenced to 12 years in prison for murder. It is, however, clear that an extensive range of verdicts are not necessarily rational to the victims or the scam culprits. This paper looks ...

Daytime TV reality shows have become an important part of our society’s entertainment, legal and education system. They give us an impression of how exactly the real courtroom would look like and what we should expect in case we get embroiled in similar law suits. While some of the TV court shows are not real and involve fictitious characters such as judges, litigants, and court clerks, most of them like The People’s Court and Judge Judy involve real characters. The People’s Court TV Show, for example, has real parties who have instituted a civil case in ...

Commercializing Biotechnology in Early-Stage Ventures: Discussions.

Discussion 1: What should you document and why? And why are signatures needed? In order for the company owner to protect himself and the company, he needs to have employees, potential employees, and consultants sign non-disclosure agreements. This helps prevent intellectual properties such as trade secrets, and unpatented ideas from being exposed, and also prevents future competition in case someone decides to steal ideas and flee. Employee agreements are another important documentation since they outline the required duties and responsibilities of the position as well as dispute resolution procedures. Employees also need to sign employment policy documents that outline ...

Abstract

“Bartleby the Scrivener” is a marvelous short story of the American nineteen century that has been discussed greatly from various disciplinary perspectives over the last century. Bartleby has been seen as a revolutionary figure who intentionally disrupts the capitalist system and has been traced to numerous real people, including Thoreau, Emerson, and even Melville himself. Critics have attached numerous equivalences to the protagonist; therefore, it is important to study the historical, political, and cultural context to choose the proper one. “Bartleby the Scrivener” demonstrated not only allusion to specific people and conflicts in New York but also showed class ...

Abstract

The application of the rule of law as well as driving the use of the law towards the creation of a law abiding society is the limelight towards the creation of a society which does not condone crime and its sycophants.

The control of crime is usually a major step in discouraging crimes in communities. In the places where there are high cases of criminal cases reported, the ...
