On October 7th I was present at the courthouse from 8: 45 am-10: 45 am. During that initial visit, I was very nervous; since it is a small courthouse I stood out like a sore thumb. I was “over dressed” in comparison to the other actors that were present, even though I was wearing slacks, an FIU Honor’s Polo, and flats. The Assistant State Attorney was Demetrios Efstratiou who was at least professionally dressed. There was Public Defenders present, but I did not catch their names, nor could I locate them on the Internet. Both gentlemen were dressed professionally as well. The only actor during this visit that was dressed unprofessionally was a private defense attorney Jessica Reilly, who is a partner at one of the bigger firms in Key

It was a gloomy Tuesday morning in Camden on March 18, 2014. Spring break had just began and the free time to do the court observation. The Superior Court of New Jersey had begun a civil action court case that was fairly controversial over how to distribute ones pension to their spouse when filing a divorce. When arriving upon the court house, the whole entire environment surrounding the court was very authoritarian. It seems that the court rooms and such are always located where most of the town’s governing takes place, whether it is just a municipal court, or the superior court just as this one. Before arriving, the presumption was that the court house would like every other court house, big building with large marble stone pillars in

My understanding of the court system has changed almost weekly from the beginning of my semester. I do understand things that I never thought I would’ve have known or even cared about in the least. The book Courtroom 302 has brought an even different side of thinking into this. The book goes into detail about the criminal court in Chicago. He watches all of the actions and different trials that come and go in the courtroom 302. He presents many different cases throughout the book which gives more insight then just a single case.

The Attorney General of Texas is a position charged to uphold Texas law and the Texas Constitution; represent the State in litigation; and approve public bond issues. However, the fundamental goal of the office is to guard the rights of Texans through various divisions of the agencies. These divisions are responsible for consumer health, safety, and regulations, as well as, protection of elderly and disabled individual rights. As a summer law clerk at the attorney general’s office I will conduct legal research and draft memoranda under the supervision of an agency attorney.

Facts: Andre Henry’s motion pertains to taped conversations between himself and Kreg Williams, a fellow inmate, that occurred on or about April 29, 2004, December 8, 2004, and January 27, 2005, while Henry was incarcerated for multiple parole violations at the State Correctional Institute of Somerset.

To start the article off the first thing the author Patrick Murphy does is assert his importance. The very first line of the article reads “As a Cook County Circuit judge”. At this point he has many of his readers hooked already.

“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
