    Small Claims Trial Essay

    This is interesting as it came from the common law system where judges sat in a royal courts of justice that were established by English Kings in 1066CE. These principles have travelled through history and still applicable to this day. The judge came in well informed and prepared on the case before entering the trail. He was introduced to the plaintiff, Vino Petal, who was represented by a paralegal whereas the defendant, Waseem who was self-represented. The plaintiff was trying to prove breach of contract and fraud. After which the judge declared the case as “a commercial deal gone sour’’. The judge became furious when he had learned that Waseem showed a lack of due diligence as he did not have his small claims court rules. Due diligence is reasonable steps that must be taken in order to satisfy the law. Both parties showed a lack of due diligence that not only caused the judge to become impatient, but also went against the litigants favor. This highlights the significance of Due diligence in the court of law. Yet the absences of it show that you are not only wasting the time of the judge but also disrespecting the court. However the judge had a higher expectation from the paralegal compared to Waseem, who was self-represented. Then judge then said “ Mr. Waseem I am not your attorney but I will state the procedure for you”. As done in small claims…

    The Death of Ivan Ilych

    During an interval in the Melvinski trial in the large building of the Law Courts the members and public prosecutor met in Ivan Egorovich Shebek's private room, where the conversation turned on the celebrated Krasovski case. Fedor Vasilievich warmly maintained that it was not subject to their jurisdiction, Ivan Egorovich maintained the contrary, while Peter Ivanovich, not having entered into the discussion at the start, took no part in it but looked through the Gazette which had just been handed in. "Gentlemen," he said, "Ivan Ilych has died!" "You don't say so!" "Here, read it yourself," replied Peter Ivanovich, handing Fedor Vasilievich the paper still damp from the press. Surrounded by a black border were the words: "Praskovya Fedorovna Golovina, with profound sorrow, informs relatives and friends of the demise of her beloved husband Ivan Ilych Golovin, Member of the Court of Justice, which occurred on February the 4th of this year 1882. The funeral will take place on Friday at one o'clock in the afternoon." Ivan Ilych had been a colleague of the gentlemen present and was liked by them all. He had been ill for some weeks with an illness said to be incurable. His post had been kept open for him, but there had been conjectures that in case of his death Alexeev might receive his appointment, and that either Vinnikov or Shtabel would succeed Alexeev. So on receiving the news of Ivan Ilych's death the first thought of each of the gentlemen in that private room was of the changes and promotions it might occasion among themselves or their acquaintances. "I shall be sure to get Shtabel's place or Vinnikov's," thought Fedor Vasilievich. "I was promised that long ago, and the promotion means an extra eight hundred rubles a year for me besides the allowance." "Now I must apply for my brother-in-law's transfer from Kaluga," thought Peter Ivanovich. "My wife will be very glad,…
