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 ...

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.

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. ...

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 ...

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).

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 ...

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 ...

Almost US, but still Latin America. This is the brief definition one can give to Puerto Rico. US is actively engaged in cooperation with the archipelago, but the chances that this area ever really become an integral part of the United States are still unclear.

The person I chose to introduce as my unsung hero is John Marshall. John Marshall, who was Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1801 to 1835, is best known for his opinion in the 1803 case Marbury v. Madison, in which he formalized the principle of judicial review. John Marshall qualifies as an unsung hero, because without his interpretation of what the judicial power of the court means, it is more than likely that the nation that we know today would be very a different place. Unlike most other Chief Justices, prior to his appointment to ...
