There where maladministration of justice during Rizal’s time and werenotoriously corrupt. Justice was costly, partial and slow. Poor Filipinos had noaccess to the courts because they could not afford the heavy expenses of litigation.Wealth, social prestige, and color of skin were dominant factors in winning a case incourt. Even Jose Rizal, brother Paciano and his mother, Teodora was unjustlyarrested, deported or exiled to various part of the archipelago without due processof law.

    There is a very distinct difference between justice and law. I believe that they have a few similarities but a different part to play in the legal system. Justice is like the ultimate goal that civilization has been aiming towards since the beginning of societies. The law is the tool we use, and have been using for hundreds of years, as our method to find justice. Through the evolution of the law, from Hammurabi and the Babylonian law, our perspectives have changed. But have we really gotten closer to that ultimate “justice”? Or is it something that will always be just a little bit beyond our reach?…

    Due process perspective, believe that the justice system should be dedicated to providing fair and equitable treatment to those accused of crime. This means providing impartial hearings, competent legal counsel, evenhanded treatment, and reasonable sanctions to ensure that no one suffers from racial, religious, or ethnic discrimination and that their basic constitutional rights are respected…

    The idea in this assignment that seems useful to me is the explanation Kenneth A. Strike gives about using due process for cases of punishment. In The Ethics of Teaching, Kenneth A. Strike explains “ If we are to decide about the kinds of due process to provide in cases of punishment, we must have some idea of what the desirable consequences of punishment are” ( Strike, pg. 29). This statement means that when it comes to punishments we must think about the consequences that may occur. For example, in the case study example, Mr. Fuse chose to punish Alex because someone in the class wrote a note to Mr. Fuse telling him that Alex was the one who exploded the object in the classroom. Alex didn’t admit to exploding the object so there really isn’t…

    In the book Reintergrative Justice in Practice, Peter Raynor provides a unique study of the practice of traditional reintegrative community justice in a European society. Peter worked with Helen Miles to find out how well reintegrative justice dealt with the mental and emotional reasons for committing crimes. I do not want to focus solely on drug offenders. The book explores from top to bottom the experience of those treated and found that these offenders committed a second offense less often than individuals only punished by incarceration. The program monitored from the offense to release therefore allowing a complete view of how well treatment worked towards providing reform.…

    Justice System Failing

    Senator Jim Webb writes in Clear and Frost’s article, “ America’s Criminal Justice System has deteriorated to the point that it is a national disgrace.” And that is the truth. The criminal justice system has many flaws that need to be fixed. There are several issues that need to be handled and dealt with properly. Tweaks need to be made to ensure that criminals are sentenced properly. But the way that criminals are picked out and failed by the system is preposterous. Although the Justice System establishes rules and makes sense out of chaos, the justice system needs reform because 25% of the nation is incarcerated, there are more drug users than murderers or serial offenders, and there are private prisons that…

    Our justice system today can be unfair in the way we decide who is guilty for what crime and how to punish them for that crime. There are many factors that play into how we decide what's best to do with a criminal. There are also many factors that have nothing to do with the crime but they play a part in deciding your fate. Depending on what time of day it is could mean you could go to prison.…

    According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the definition of an illegal immigrant is: a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence. From what we see and know, our nation was founded by immigrants and we are still flooded with an abundance of illegal and legal immigrants. With an estimated population of over 300 million people in the United States, 11 million of those are immigrants. (“Reuters”) The problem with this is our criminal justice system says we have to deport all illegal immigrants and keep them from coming into our nation, but, we barely ever deport these people and we don’t do a good enough job keeping immigrants from coming into the United States. Ironically, when we do kick out illegal immigrants or prevent them from coming into the U.S., they find another way in…

    I suffer from many nightmares and have done so for many years. Strangely, I didn't have them during the 15 years I in spent in prison after being wrongly convicted, with three others, for the 1975 Guildford and Woolwich pub bombings. It was almost as if I was in the eye of the storm while I was inside, and everything was being held back for a replay later in my life. Our case is well known now as one of first major miscarriages of justice. I am often contacted by people who, like me, spent many years on death row after being wrongly convicted. People ask whether a case like ours could happen today. Of course it could. I know of many innocent people still behind bars and I know there are echoes of what happened to us in cases that are still coming to light today. We were tortured – guns held to our heads. The case against us was circumstantial. We tried to get people to listen to what had happened to us, and it took years before our voices were heard outside.…

    The 14th amendment of Constitution of the United States grants every American Citizen the right of due process of the law. This right is being denied juveniles sentenced to “life without parole”. Recent Supreme Court rulings have held that “life without parole” is cruel and unjust punishment for those juveniles sentenced for non-homicidal crimes, because of limited capacity. Life without parole is essentially cruel and unjust punishment for all juveniles sentenced, regardless of crime committed.…

    The United States is homeland for millions of immigrants who risk their lives for a better existence. In Jefferson’s words, it is a nation in which “All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that among them are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Our nation is a country in which equal opportunity if provided for those in search of a better life and our law is meant to apply evenly to citizens and non-citizens alike. However, throughout history and even in our present day, Congress has undermined this utopian goal by passing laws which some may consider unjust.…

These attorneys are even provided to individuals who can’t pay for services rendered. However, the Criminal Justice Act provides some levels of compensation for certain services, such as investigative work, provided to the accused offender. They are also paid an hourly rate for their services.…

    Are we morally obliged to obey even unjust laws? Think about what this means. This means that laws, regardless of how unfair, unjust, or immoral they may be, must be followed with no better reason that they are the law. To the thesis that we are obliged to obey even unjust laws, I will argue that the standard objections to Civil Disobedience, given by Singer, are incorrect…
