Courtroom Observation
As the experiment began, at first felt awkward to the point of wanting to hide, but later become interested on how people reacted or did not react to me standing there. In the beginning I saw people pass by and not notice me standing there. This made me feel invisible to society at that point. Those people reaction didn’t change. An example was a couple that had come from shopping, which they didn’t notice me standing there when I was close to them. Later, as the experiment continue I got reaction from two or three people that were sitting at the tables in the food court. This people had already been there since I started the experiment. One man in particular had an expression in his face like if I was lost or planning something weird. As

There is definite understanding and helpful information defined in the Indiana Dream Shop Act which contains useful knowledge. Mr. Edward Hard did not participate or take on any behavior or actions that provided proof of intoxication. Debora White, the Plaintiff is in search of compensation from the defendants, O’Malley’s Tavern and Patrick Gibbs with the theory that Mr. Patrick Gibbs had concrete awareness of Mr. Edward Hard’s consumption of alcohol. (I.C. 7.1-5-10-15.5, 1996) cites that Mr. Gibbs the defendant have actual knowledge of the person being intoxicated before damages are allowed to be awarded. Practical awareness does not persuade the hindrance nor does individual awareness. Indirect evidence doesn’t support practical awareness only actual knowledge. Individual awareness can sustain the intrusion whereas actual knowledge has to carry through and support the intrusion. Observable dealings with the recognizable events of intoxication are prejudiced according to the 7th Indiana State Circuit Court. In the Supreme Court statue stated prior to the year 1988 common law tolerated practical awareness for intrusions and caused a change in the law for this not to be supported.…

    viewpoints of the power of the court, The Dynamic and the Constrained Court. In the Dynamic Court, the court is viewed as the main arbiter of social change, were social reform can occur without the delay of other political institutions. For proponents of the Dynamic Court view, the landmark Supreme Court cases such as, Brown v. Board of Education and Roe v. Wade are viewed as some as some of the strongest pieces of evidence that the court is an exceptional tool for activists. But the inherent problem with Dynamic Court viewpoint is that a ruling does not necessarily lead to change. Though Brown v. Board ruled against school segregation, segregation persisted until the involvement of the federal government in the 1960s. Though Roe v. Wade ruled…

    Courtroom Players

    The Courtroom Work Group is a group that is comprised of the judge, prosecutor, defense attorneys, claimants as well as the defendants. The roles of the individuals in the Courtroom Work Group are to work together to successfully prosecute in the criminal case. This group interacts on a daily basis with all having a mutual goal of production in mind to close the case. In my opinion a Courtroom Work Group is non-other than a group of people with authority who all come together and see how they can close this case without it actually going to trial. It is similar to the same process of deciding rather or not to offer someone a plea bargain. I say this because in the Courtroom Work Group the defendant are already presumed to be guilty and the rest of the group work together to come to an agreement on the sentencing rather than to actually serve justice.…

    Do Nothing

    Executing this exercise was extremely difficult for me. Doing absolutely nothing was an effort because I had to constantly remind myself not to check my phone, to stand still, and not to look around. After numerous attempts, I turned off my phone and the mental reminders became less needed and doing the exercise became easier. The first few minutes I didn’t feel anything in particular. I was simply standing, looking straight ahead, and absorbed in my contemplation, but after about five minutes I couldn’t help but notice some people giving me outlandish looks. I tried not to avert my attention to them but even still I could feel their eyes on me. I started feeling really uncomfortable and feeling a sense of judgment and rejection. As if because I was standing there with no evident purpose that I was suddenly displaced from society. I believe the couple of stares I received from passersby and the stares from the people that were watching me for a prolonged amount of time and were witnesses of my unusual behavior were the root of my feelings of social nonacceptance. My odd conduct even seemed to arise suspicion in the officer parked across the street from me. After the ten minutes were up, I looked back and saw the officer examining around the spot I which I stood. On the contrary, others didn’t even seem to notice. They seemed too immersed in their own lives to even take note of my abnormal behavior. However, those that did notice didn’t fail to make me feel as if my behavior was ignominious.…
