    Connecticut Supreme Court Case Summary

    The landmark Sheff v. O’Neill Connecticut Supreme Court decision will have a dramatic effect on the state of education in the great state of Connecticut. The de-facto segregation of Connecticut public schools over several years has been a troubling trend that has ultimately led to the decision reached by the court. The low performance of schools in the Hartford area has been a concern of many parents and educators. A child’s education is the most valuable tool a child can receive to prepare themselves for the world. The people of Connecticut must recognize the impact that failing schools can have on the entire state. The people in the Connecticut General Assembly and yourself must act to ensure each child has a chance at fulfilling their God given talents. However, I do not believe the Connecticut Supreme Court was correct in saying that it is the…

    Supreme Court Cases

    In Miranda v. Arizona (1966), the Supreme Court ruled that detained criminal suspects, prior to police questioning, must be informed of their constitutional right to an attorney and against self-incrimination. The case began with the 1963 arrest of Phoenix resident Ernesto Miranda, who was charged with rape, kidnapping, and robbery. Miranda was not informed of his rights prior to the police interrogation. During the two-hour interrogation, Miranda allegedly confessed to committing the crimes, which the police apparently recorded. Miranda, who had not finished ninth grade and had a history of mental instability, had no counsel present. At trial, the prosecution's case consisted solely of his confession. Miranda was convicted of both rape and kidnapping and sentenced to 20 to 30 years in prison. He appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court, claiming that the police had unconstitutionally obtained his confession. The court disagreed, however, and upheld the conviction. Miranda appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which reviewed the case in 1966.…

    That the Supreme Court exercises a policy making role has been an established fact ever since Maybury vs. Madison defined the Court’s role in judicial review of existing law. By choosing which cases to review and by establishing precedents by way interpretation of a law’s meaning and applicability the Court influences the course of action adopted not only by government but by individuals and businesses who consider the implications of the Court’s actions. In adjudicating disagreements of alternative interpretations of a law the Supreme Court establishes policies which have implications extending beyond the specific case in question and into social policy at large.

    Criminal Court Case Analysis

    Does notoriety affect the outcome of a criminal court proceeding? A trial’s outcome should not be based on the notoriety of it, yet it is. Due to media coverage, the length of the trial, and the notoriety of the people who committed the crime, the outcome of the trial is affected. The Manson trials and the trial of Leopold and Loeb are two prime example of how notoriety can affect a criminal court proceeding. An analysis of two criminal court proceedings, the Manson trial and the trial of Leopold and Loeb, reveals that notoriety does affect criminal court proceedings. Even though criminal court proceedings should be based on unbiased information and evidence, overall, the notoriety of the case impacts it.…

    Juvenile Court Case Analysis

    The state of Georgia has approximately 350 municipal courts and five classes of trial-level courts: the magistrate, probate, juvenile, state and superior courts, along with two appellate-level courts: the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. In a magistrate court, warrants are issued, bail can be set for defendants, civil disputes such as violations, bad checks, landlord and tenant cases are settled, and minor criminal offenses are charged. In magistrate court, cases can be settled within the parties themselves instead of hiring an attorney. Probate courts issue licenses to carry firearms and marriage licenses, authorize orders to admit an incapacitated adult or other individuals to hospitalization, and handle the wills and administration of decedent’s estates. Juvenile Courts handle all cases involving underprivileged and mistreated children less than 18 years old, criminal and disorderly offenses, traffic violations, and runaway child procedures.…
