On June 10th‚ I had the opportunity to go to the SF Immigration court on Montgomery Street with a few of my colleagues. I expected the court to be in a standalone building but instead it was spread over two floors in a twenty-five-floor building. The security checks for entering into the court were moderate. Everyone trying to enter the court had to go through a general security check where they walk through a metal detector machine and have their bags go through the x-ray machine. Before we went

Summary: Johal‚ Johal‚ and Deo are the defendants in this case who are being charge with kidnapping with the intent to transport a person against his/her will.

6-O-PAL Methods in Context Covert Observation and Court Proceedings Assess the strengths and limitations of using covert observations as a means of investigating court proceedings. (15 marks) Using covert observations can both be useful but also unethical.

Even though most court activity is open to the public‚ some

Additionally‚ while completing court observations I had the opportunity to sit in on three separate criminal trials. The first trial I sat in on was a case involving sexual assault where the defendant was accused of “violating of the sexual integrity” (Arcaro‚ 2009‚ p.151) while she was sleeping.

I decided to attend a night traffic court session at the Ventura Courthouse. The cases ranged from seat belt violations to reckless driving. Most of the defendants appeared before the court to request more time to pay the fines associated with the tickets. I was surprised to see that very few of the people in the courthouse were pleading not guilty. Only one person showed up to defend a case with legal help from an attorney of some sort. The first person to claim not guilty was charged with speeding

On October 26th 2012 at approximately 9:30‚ I walked through the doors of the Superior Court of Justice in Newmarket located at 50 Eagle Street West with another fellow classmate. Upon arriving to the court house I wasn’t one hundred percent sure what I would witness. Walking through the big doors‚ there’s security with metal detectors‚ then again this is a court house and they have to provide as much security as possible to ensure that everyone is safe. After roaming around for a little bit of time
