Should Judges Be Biased Case Study
The reason I choose this case is that I have always thought that judges should never be biased in a case. It should not matter if the person is rich or poor, very influential or very insignificant you always need to judge a case be the evidence it shows. This case shows a huge flaw that we have in our legal system that flaw is that judges can be biased and get away with it. If you are a judge you should just focus on the job you have now and not worry about not getting voted again, is being a lawyer that bad?

    The case between Ms. Darcy Vs Big Car Company, I would have to agree 100% with what the Jugde decided to do.

    3) The judge has made a judicial error by allowing the Plaintiff 's counsel to comment on the case about Minichiello 's boss being a German with an "attitude of hatred" and made forced analogies to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. The judge also allowed irrelevant testimony, which asserted that the Club discriminated against Latinos, Jews, and African-Americans, to the issue of discrimination based on sexual orientation. I agree that awarding $20,000,000 was grossly excessive and has no rational basis, and was an error by the judge as well.…

    In this argument the audience would be anyone interested in the issue, people supporting either family, the jury, and anyone watching the news or reading articles. The audience helps bring awareness to the issue, and they can sometimes go overboard, and stress and stretch the overall issue. $1.9 million dollars is a lot on Texas, so it also gets the government involved.…

    Justice Antonin Sacalia Case Study

    In May, 31st, 2011, Justice Antonin Sacalia delivered the opinion of The US Supreme Court regarding Ashcroft, John D. V. Al-Kidd, Abdullah case. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Al-Kidd Abdullah was arrested by Federal agents as a material-witness, after obtaining a warrant from a federal judge. Under the material-statute, in the US, a witness qualified as determinant to the issue of a criminal proceeding could be arrested in order to secure his testimony. Thus, Abdullah Al-Kidd will be arrested as a determinant witness in the trial of another individual (Sami Omar Al-Hussayen) suspected of terrorism on the US territory. Although, Abdullah Al-Kidd will never appear before a court as a suspect, neither as a witness, he will be kept in jail for 13 months. After his release, Abdullah Al-Kidd will file a lawsuit against John D. Ashcroft, the US United States…

    Explain Judicial Review Using Two Case Examples

    As soon as civilizations created constitutions, actions were being called unconstitutional by those who opposed them. In some instances, unconstitutional acts were the subject of revolution, regicide, or as happened in the American political system, the declaration of a Judiciary body. American judicial review can broadly be defined as the power of this such judicial branch of the government to determine whether or not the acts of all branches of the government and government official comply with the Constitution. It derives from the doctrine of "judicial supremacy", which in turn legitimises this definition by declaring that "both the letter and spirit of the Court's constitutional determinations bind all branches of government and government officials." (Siegel, Ely, McCloskey). Originating as far back as the late 1700's, this practice of judicial review, has allowed judges, thus, to maintain limited government and the rule of the people and to uphold the supremacy of the Constitution, by using the power allocated to them "to declare "null and void" any acts of the national government or of the states which they themselves deem contrary to the Constitution." (Irish and Prothro, 522). Thus, in effect the law becomes "what the judges say it is" (Irish and Prothro, 522).…

    racism in the court system

    In the South, the judicial system was controversial whether you were African American, an immigrant or part of a jury. They showed how the jury selection was racist because if you weren’t the same race as the jury, you would be found guilty. An example is in the Scottsboro Trial, the jury in those trials had no blacks on the juries. This would provide an unfair trial for Blacks and deny them any justice. The arrest of the boys, trial, and events following the case of the Scottsboro Trials were an example of the racism and the unfair treatment of blacks in the court system.…

    Racial Disparities in the U.S. Judicial System

    The United States has the largest documented incarceration rate in the world. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics at yearend 2012, approximately 6,937,600 offenders were under the supervision of adult correctional systems (2013). Of this number, more than 60% of the inmates in prison are minorities however; they make up only 37% of the United States population.
