    Mccardle: An Analysis Of The Attitudinal Model

    The Framers of the United States Constitution vested immense power in the judicial branch of the government. Over the years, the highest Court of the land, the United States Supreme Court, has ruled on a multitude of cases, making new laws and setting precedence. The American people deem the judicial body supreme and, perhaps irrationally, trust they will interpret the Constitution more accurately and ethically compared to the executive and legislative branches. However, decisions of the courts are not purely legal, but rather a synthesis of attitudinal, legal, and strategic processes.…

    Petitioner Vs Jardines Research Paper

    In this paper I’m going to detail the judicial process of a Supreme Court case, which was the first of its kind. The Supreme Court did not have original jurisdiction over this case. It traveled through each juridical system before reaching the Supreme Court. This case was of interest to them, not to question it the defendant was guilty, but were his constitutional rights violated in the process of prosecuting him. This case began with an anonymous tip that the defendant was growing illegal contraband at his home. The DEA assigned Detective Padraja and Detective Bartelt to sit on the home. After making the decision that no one was home the…

    The Smiths do their groceries every weekend. These are elaborately planned with Mrs. Smith making a list of requirements for the entire family over the week. She never forgets to replenish their stock of Caribbean coffee as her husband, a writer, generally feels groggy and sleepy after lunch in the afternoon. The coffee keeps him awake at such times. Fruits are a “must-buy” for the family. Everyone including their three children loves apples. However, Mrs. Smith refrains from buying apples when they are not in season as they tend to be more expensive. This weekend, she bought a new brand of pasta that her children insisted on buying as they were tempted by its commercial that comes on TV everyday at dinnertime. She also bought a packet of cocoa powder even though it was not on the list. She realized she needed it as she was attending chocolate-making classes. She has a weakness for milk chocolates and cannot resist the temptation to buy them. The Smiths don’t have a strict budget for these shopping trips. More often than not, Mrs. Smith relies on her memory to keep a tab on their expenditure. What matters most to them is that everyone in the family should get what they want.…

    The Philosophies Of John Marshall

    The Supreme Court of the United States was created by the Article Three, Section One of the Constitution and plays an incredibly important role in the balance of power within the United States. To that extent, it’s important to know the judicial philosophies of the judges who sit on the highest court in the United States. These philosophies are responsible for influencing lives of Americans depending on how they are recognized and implemented. It becomes even more imperative to understand with the knowledge that the court itself appoints a new justice, on average of every two years. (Regan, 2015, p. 18) With how influential their cases can be, it’s also important to understand how it can affect the nation as a whole, when those philosophies…

    Court History and Purpose

    The court plays a very critical role in American Criminal Justice. Without the development of courts, those who violate the law would face no penalty and would commit crimes and walk free. In this paper I will evaluate and examine the American Criminal court system. I will describe the court and the purpose that it serves as so I will also define the dual court system. I will also describe the role that early legal codes, the common law and the precedent played in the development of courts.…

    Thought That We Hate

    Anthony Lewis has always held his head high where it has concerned the American Judiciary – Lewis’ praise for the American judiciary is arguably sensible and thorough in its worthy aspect. Not only does he excel as a reporter and a columnist at the New York Times, but where it concerns his authorship he has been equally exceptional in his craft. In his latest book, “Freedom for the Thought That We Hate” Lewis has the same heroic view of the American Judiciary to portray and he does it with his usual flair, with his typical – subtle, but very much inherent – admiration for the Judiciary, and for everything that he stands for. Similar to his incomparable, thorough, and critical account of the 1963 Supreme Court Case, Lewis does not lag in sending…

    The significance of observing this courtroom trial was to see the way our federal courts systems work.

Chapter 15 gave me a better understanding of how…
