Case Study Of Courtroom Observation

The rule for determining a motion for directed verdict requires the trial judge and the reviewing court on appeal to look to all of the evidence, taking the strongest legitimate view of it in favor of the opponent of the motion and allowing all reasonable inferences from it in his favor. The court must discard all countervailing evidence, and if there is then any dispute as to any material determinative evidence or any doubt as to the conclusion to be drawn from the whole evidence, the motion must be denied.

The Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit at the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. The verdict of the jury found the Defendant liable and was in favor of the Plaintiffs. Defendant then filed a motion for a new trial for judgment as a matter of law.

The uncaused cause holds to that which is outside the framework of causation. Most philosophers hold that this first cause cannot be caused for the reason that it is outside causation. Something would need to set forth in motion the ring of causality. If the premise stands, then such a first cause would have to exist necessarily, otherwise it would have been caused. This necessity is one of causal relation, as long as the premise is accepted.

On Friday, April, 4, 2014, I observed the Vanderburgh County Superior Court to observe different family law cases. The cases I heard involved contempt of court for failing to pay child support, failure to appear for a court appointed drug test, birth certificate affidavit, request for contest hearing time, and an issue of paternity case. Magistrate Judge Sheila M. Corcoran was presiding over the family court hearings. When entering the courthouse, I was greeted by security and advised to remove any cell phones, and/or, any other items that would trigger a metal detector. After this, I proceeded straight to look for the family courtroom. After roaming around mindlessly for a couple minutes, I decided to ask the courthouse officer monitoring

Norris case which was brought up in the courtroom; Mr. Hard was not as drunk. (Ashlock v. Norris, 475 N.E.2d 1167, 1170 (Ind. Ct. App. 1985). The bartender, Mr. John Daniels did not have any definite awareness of Mr. Hard’s intoxication. Mr. Daniels is not able to recall any unusual behavior that was displayed by Mr. Hard. He does not have any reclamation of observing Mr. Edward Hard tripping over the pool stick because he had stepped away from the room. He did witness an argument start at the entrance doorway between Mr. Bruno White and Mr. Edward Hard in which Mr. Hard provoked. There were no additional drinks served after the altercation took place, the final alcoholic beverage had been ordered and served prior to the incident and therefore is not said to be actual knowledge. The last drink is the cutoff point for the statue and where the definite ruling intervenes. The process is in order to try and obtain an abstract opinion from Mr. John Daniels stating that he had no familiarity of Mr. Hard being drunk. When Mr. Edward Hard left the O’Malley’s Tavern he followed Mr. Bruno White in a careless manner, damaging numerous vehicles and consequently hitting Mr. White’s automobile and killing him. The direct aim of Mr. Hard is being safeguarded with the implication of a motor vehicle accident while being intoxicated. The understanding and cause of the intoxication is not what is relevant, however the altercation that occurred at

The Respondent, Prime Hospitality Corp., filed a motion for summary judgement in Circuit Court, Dade County, Florida. Eugene David, petitioned for writ of certiorari in the third District Court of Appeal of Florida.

The Superior Court session I observed was an alcohol impairment case. The defendant in this case, had been found guilty in District Court, but had filed an appeal to the District Court’s decision.

I observed court operations at the Plantation Key Government Center in Tavernier, Florida twice: on October 7th and November 4th. I observed Chief Circuit Judge Carlos Garcia in courtroom A. The courthouse is located in the 16th Judicial Circuit of Florida and it’s a state trial court with general jurisdiction. The first visit was cut short, in part because it was a lighter criminal day than planned, but also I was flabbergasted by the lack of professionalism that was present in the Florida Keys courtroom. I’m not sure if it’s a “court in Paradise” problem, or something that is observed at other courtrooms, however, I’m disappointed in what I saw. Lack of professionalism was evident during both visits from the actors and their actions.

However, we do use the term ‘causal relationship’ or cause and effect relationship’, where the cause has to precede the effect and the relationship cannot be explained by any other factors that are being considered.

Social Work is a complex and very diverse field with many options to work in. Many social workers find themselves going to court to advocate for their clients. Others may consider working with the court directly. As an observer of a court it is important to notice the individuals involved, the accessibility of the court, the parties involved, and personal reflections that one perceives.

Mr. Walsh, the plaintiff’s attorney, is presenting the issue of actual knowledge of intoxication. Mr. Walsh is arguing against summary judgment based on two reasons. First, Indiana Courts have held that when a reasonable inference of evidence and circumstances of a case could result in more than one conclusion, summary judgment is inappropriate. Second, the jury could infer that the bartender had actual knowledge of the visible intoxication of Mr. Hard when he last served him alcohol.

It was my very first time ever attending a criminal court or a court in general for that matter. I have seen many television shows where I have seen many criminal trials and I was always very interested in watch them. I finally had the chance to observe an actual criminal court trial and it was far too different from what I expected. The courthouse itself was very busy and crowded downstairs in the main entrance, but as soon as I went up in the different floors each floor was very quiet I only saw very few people walk by or walk inside the court rooms. I had to go to six different floors of the building just to find a trail that was already in progress.

A motion for summary judgement is only appropriate when there is no genuine issue of material fact. Rule 56(c)(3), Ala. R. Civ. P. In doing this, courts test the “sufficiency” of the evidence “to determine if any real [factual] issue exists.” Garrigan v. Hinton Beef & Provision Co., 425 So.2d 1091, 1093 (Ala.1983). The moving party bears the burden of showing that no material issue of fact exists and summary judgement is appropriate. Chiniche v. Smith, 374 So.2d 872 (Ala.1979). The burden of proof shifts to the nonmoving party to show that there is an issue of material fact. Id. The judge must determine if an issue of material fact exists but must not decide any issues of fact. Shades Ridge Holding Co. v. Cobbs, Allen, & Hall Mortgage Co., 390 So.2d 601, 603 (Ala. 1980). The motion should be granted only when the opposing party can create any material issue of fact. Id.

During a trial, there are many rules, procedures, and codes of conduct that must be observed. These are in place to allow a trial to proceed more efficiently and fairly for both the defense and prosecution. According to one author, “Police, prosecutors, and criminal court Judges see too much crime, so they tend to see crime everywhere. We need rules to control their conduct, Judges to carefully apply those rules, and other Judges to review those decisions (law-article.net).” Courtroom procedures are important because, without them, defendants and prosecution alike could be treated unfairly. These procedures give a standard format for trials that must be followed to ensure that all parties have an equal opportunity to present their

There are causes in human behavior that differentiate, they are proximate and ultimate cause. A proximate cause is an event which is closest to, or immediately
