    [3] [pic][4] [pic]The two concepts to which St. Paul alludes are somewhat intertwined. The “one final judgment” rule prevents piecemeal dispositions and multiple appeals by requiring a final (as opposed to interlocutory) judgment before an appeal may lie. (9 Witkin, Cal.Procedure (3d ed. 1985) Appeal, § 43, pp. 66-67.) The doctrine of res judicata also addresses the issue of finality: it gives conclusive effect to final judgments in subsequent litigation between the same parties over the same controversy. (7 Witkin, Cal.Procedure (3d ed. 1985) Judgment, §§ 188-189, pp. 621-622.)…

    Before discussing the different ways a person can reach a decision, it is first necessary to know what decision making is. According to The Oxford English Dictionary decision making is, “The making up of one's mind on any point or on a course of action; a resolution, determination.” While the definition seems simple, the act of making up ones mind can be quite complicated. You need only look at my dorm room floor on a Saturday night before I go out, to see how difficult making a decision can be…at least for me. There are generally three ways that most people use to make decisions. The first being decisions based on whether. This type of decision making typically involves either/or and yes/no questions. For example, in deciding whether to have chocolate or vanilla ice cream, a person will often ask themselves a yes/no type of question, “Do I like chocolate better than vanilla?” Another example would be a person trying to decide about whether they should ask for a raise. In this instance the decision is usually reached after someone looks at the pros and cons to each side. The second kind are decisions based on which. In this instance, the person generally chooses one or more options from a larger group and makes their decision by determining which of these measures up to what one is looking for. The third type is contingent decisions. In contingent decisions a choice is often predetermined but is not acted upon until some kind of condition is met or an ideal opportunity arises.…

    juries

    Juries are a panel of citizens selected randomly from the electoral role to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused, thus are a fundamental part of how the adversarial system functions. The right to a trial by jury is enshrined by the right to a fair trial. Juries enable a fair trial as they are members of the community who are making an impartial judgement based on what the two opposing sides presents to them, hence they are less prone to bias and bigoted views enabling them to improve access to justice. When a verdict is made, it is often made unanimously so there should be no doubt on the jurors mine as to whether the accused is guilty or not. There are some circumstances, when a majority verdict takes place 11 against 1 or 10 against 1, but only if deliberation has surpassed a reasonable time ( usually 8 hours ), so this allows for a fairer system. Being such a fundamental part of the adversarial system, if a jury is unable to make a verdict, it becomes a hung jury in which the case is dismissed and a retrial is ordered therefore ensuring that there is an equal opportunity for each party to present their side of the case and know that an impartial judgement will be made. Overall, since the right to a fair trial is significant in the adversary system, the juries are a pivotal reason as to how natural justice is achieved.…

    Juvinile Justice

    Should juveniles be tried as adults? Much controversy exists on the question of whether a juvenile criminal should be punished to the same extent as an adult. The growing trend in the United States to “get tough” on juveniles, who commit crimes, has resulted in a surging number of minors being tried as adults, and they are being sent to adult prisons. Many believe if you commit an adult crime, you should do adult time. However, juveniles by definition are not adults, and therefore should not be tried as such. America’s legal system says that the mental competence of a minor, which is anyone under the age of eighteen, has not fully developed, and most stat laws define a juvenile as a person who is not old enough to be held responsible for there criminal acts. Opponents argue that juvenile offenders should not be tried as adults, and should be sent to juvenile detention centers where they would have a chance at education and rehabilitation. I do agree, and also believe that charging a minor with an adult crime will do more harm than good. Supporters of juvenile offenders being tried as adults say, that if they are old enough to commit an adult crime, then they are old enough to be held accountable. They argue that age should not be a determining factor in sentencing a juvenile as an adult.…
