Absurdity And Consequences Of Block The Merchant

In Why the “Haves” Come Out Ahead Marc Galanter argues there are two types of parities that you can find inside a court room. There are the “one-shotters” and the “repeat players”. One shotters are people who are only occasionally in direct contact with the judicial system. They may be parents fighting over custody, neighbors trying to come to an agreement on a grievance, or family member fighting over inheritance. One shotters are typically individuals with limited resources and knowledge of the legal system. Gallants argues that for one-shotters their “claims are either too large relative to his seize or too small, realize to cost of remedies” (5).

In “The Adversary Judge” Frankel explains how realities of the trial create a “role conflict” between the ideally constructed impartial judge and the realistic adversary judge (Frankel, 1976). Throughout their day people play many roles, these roles are based on the expectations of the people around them and the personality of the person (Frankel, 1976). In particular, judges are expected to play the role of neutrality, intelligence, and patience. Their role is thought to be similar of an “umpire” (Frankel, 1976). It is necessary for them to be objective in order for a just and fair trial to take place. Yet, this ideal role does not occur under the pressure of realities. One reality that pushes away the idea of an “umpire” judge is the heated emotions that occur throughout the trial process. Frankel states” the courtroom explodes as people spring up at several tables shouting objections, usually loudly because they are in some haste and heat to cut off forbidden answers” (Frankel, 1976, p. 472). The attorney’s main goals throughout the trail is to ensure a win for their client leading to competitiveness between both parties. Attorneys do not want to hear they are wrong and always need to be one step ahead of their competitors. This causes the commotion and tense emotions that is usually seen in courts.

In the first case, Robertson is not principally involved as counsel for the Oz editors in their obscenity trial. He is just a ‘stage-hand for the defence’. We note the metaphor: a stage-hand is someone who assists at a theatrical production. Robertson frequently recurs to the idea of the court as a theatre and the players in the justice game as actors:

At this point, Lt. Kaffee wishes to find other representation for his clients because he holds the right to withdraw from the case if his clients refuse to cooperate. After a night of thinking it over, he decides to represent them and enters a plea for not guilty at their arraignment. That brings us into the trial, which is called a general court marshal.

In Jim’s case, the subject of “excitement and prejudice in the public mind” is greatly emphasized; a large amount of hype surrounded the trial, which consequently may have altered the decision made by the courts. During this time, executions were still part of a public spectacle. Stemming back to European and colonial society, executions, especially hangings, were a large form of public entertainment that brought the whole community together. In one perspective the execution may have created a hole in society, but with the development of executions as communal spectacles, the hole is mended, and instead brings the community together in a sense through the removal of a “bad” in their society. Jim’s case comes during a time in which there was a large amount of fear surrounding slave revolts- with Jim his act of violence likely sparked a sense of fear throughout his community. By deciding to sentence Jim to hanging, this would act to reassure the community with a sense of safety to enforce the superiority of the “better”

In the courtroom, the team of magistrates and officials had a difficult time arriving at a verdict. One of the judges, Jonathan Selleck, observed that “trying to prove an invisible crime in court was not easy and could lead to serious problems, both inside and outside the courtroom” (Godbeer 53). The legal aspects of the case were extremely intricate and complex. The judges wanted to make the right decision, one that would benefit the community at large, while at the same time, trying to learn from the court proceedings that took place in

In such a habitate, the need of law to become a force is beyond the individual to control. Once the accusation had been passed and the trials started, any attempt to suspect the process will lead to punishment. Miller’s simple theme is fundamental to American literature. The United States has a league based on individualism.

This is a very appropriate analogy because neither the date nor year is mentioned, leaving only facts. A man was killed and his murderer was hung. Those 2 minor details lay out the entire scenario from start to end. This is identical to how the world had worked. You could charge a man for stealing a loaf of bread as easily and readily as you could cut off his hands for doing the same thing. In modern times however, variables can determine severity of consequence in a way that creates a “fair” decision based on preponderance of evidence including time, location, gender, mental inclination, political views and any other random inconveniences that may lead to conflict either internally or physically.

Bogira paints a portrait of some of the more personal and nuanced day-to-day activities that go into courtroom behavior and decision making. Describe some of the often overlooked aspects of day-to-day court operations (i.e., judges background, public pressures, defense attorney and prosecutorial ambitions, etc.) and how they may affect court outcomes for defendants. Bogira paints a portrait of the real side of the law and after reading Courtroom 302 I’m applauded at the things I’ve read. Bogira’s showed a different side to prosecutors, detectives, and judges detailing the little to no interest they had in righting the wrongs caused by the court.

The lawyer’s presentations to the court will determine the fact with a trial judge or jury and relate it to the law to reach a decision before judgment is entered. Decision will base entirely upon material introduced by parties. Although individuals are free to represent

When looking at the other element of the functionality of law in our court systems, the law in action, one must understand that this is literary the way the actors in the courtroom interpret the letter of the law. These players in the court room are the judges, lawyers, the defendant, and victims (Neubauer and Fradella, 2009). The law in action can be very confusing to the average person because of the many different interpolations that can come from so many different actors in the court system.

Today’s society is run by and thrives off capitalism, ruled by our government. Many things are kept surreptitious from us. The government feeds us lies to silence us and to force us conform to society’s customs, this is evident in the novel ‘The Trial.’ It depicts the way in which society is ruled by an autocratic hierarchy, which is kept secret from the working class. This is a metaphor for the Marxist ideology of the bourgeoisie exploiting the proletariat in a capitalist society. ‘The Trial’ by Franz Kafka was published in 1945 and follows the injustice of the main character Josef, who is arrested by two wardens, and prosecuted on unnamed charges. "Without having done anything wrong he was arrested one fine morning." The nature of his crime is kept confined from him and the reader. Throughout the novel, Josef struggles ineffectively against an oppressive and autocratic court system, only to be abruptly executed, at the end of the novel. This essay will be exploring Josef’s character and the ways in which ‘The Trial’ is written in a Marxist perspective in depth, analysing how Josef struggles against the oppressive court system, adamant not to compromise his beliefs to conform to and suit society’s norms.

In the american court room there are several people involved. Some of the most important and lawful figures include: the judge, who is the main authority and the one responsible for justice. The prosecuting attorney, responsible for presenting the case against the defendant. The defense counsel, who is in

In The Trial by Franz Kafka, the protagonist K. is going through what is often thought of as one of the most dehumanizing aspects of society. Even in the United States many criticize the justice system for being dehumanizing. People are forced to wear the same thing, act the same way, and are given numbers instead of names. In The Trial Kafka emphasizes the dehumanizing aspects of this process by exacerbating the bureaucratic steps that must be accomplished and adds more uncertainty and secrecy to the steps. Kafka’s writing shows the lack of information that K. is given, and the symbolic dehumanization that occurs during the whipping and with K. lacking a last name.

“Witness for the Prosecution” superbly demonstrated a realist view of the operating procedures in a courtroom. The actors within the courtroom were easy to identify, and the steps transitioned smoothly from the arrest to the reading of the verdict. The murder trial of Leonard Vole provided realistic insight into how laws on the books are used in courtroom proceedings. With the inferior elements noted, the superior element of the court system in “Witness
