    People in the United States attend court every day for different many reasons. Those reasons could be for traffic violations, civil law suits, or for unlawful criminal acts. No matter what they are all handled and disputed in a court of law. Courts are empowered to make fair and binding decisions upon the facts that are received. There are two types of courts; civil court and criminal court. It is very important that people understand and know the differences between civil and criminal courts. Civil courts handle resolutions between private parties and usually consist of one party suing the other for some type of monetary damages.

There are parts of the court system that need to be identified to have these changes occur. One of these areas is the way courts are managed including their problems and resolutions.

    On June 10th, I had the opportunity to go to the SF Immigration court on Montgomery Street with a few of my colleagues. I expected the court to be in a standalone building but instead it was spread over two floors in a twenty-five-floor building. The security checks for entering into the court were moderate. Everyone trying to enter the court had to go through a general security check where they walk through a metal detector machine and have their bags go through the x-ray machine. Before we went through the security check, we had to inform the officer on duty that we came to observe the court. Surprisingly I didn’t have to show a state I.D. before entering the court. After clearing the security check, the officer helped us find a courtroom to observe. I was expecting the officers to be harsh and not very helpful but I was surprised and glad to see that all of the…
