Ethical Issues In Court Cases

It was an unethical practice for Calvin Beckett, the district attorney, to threaten Dee Robert’s to accept the plea bargain against her own free will, through informing her that she will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Prosecutors should not be allowed to use their authority power in this manner, because it is a form of extortion. According to Wente (2013), Extortion is defined as is a crime where a person is forced to do something against their own free will, which involve damaging a person’s reputation. In my opinion, the prosecutor begins to extort individuals to accept plea bargaining when the evidence in a case is not strong enough to uphold a conviction. Typically, the prosecutor will overcharge the defendant. Unfortunately,

The trial court erred and abused its discretion in granting the State’s motion to admit evidence of prior uncharged incidents of domestic violence, because the evidence denied Mr. Davis of his rights to due process of law as guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, and Article I, Section 10 of the Missouri Constitution, in that the evidence was more prejudicial than probative because it was too remote in time to be relevant to the charged crimes and had a prejudicial effect.

While at GPM, I attended a session of Treatment Accountability Court (“TAC”) (formerly Mental Health Court) and DUI/Drug Court. Both Courts operate similarly. Several hours before the court session, members of the legal community meet to discuss the progress of each participate scheduled to appear that day. Legal representatives include members from the Sheriff’s Office, Solicitor General’s Office, Public Defender’s Office, the judge who presides over the proceeding, a Program Coordinator & Counselor, a misdemeanor probation officer, and a felony probation officer. The group discusses the status of each participate and whether they’re meeting the conditions set forth by the court. The programs are conducted in phases,

Now comes the Defendant, Joseph Bettina, files this Motion For temporary Support and would shows:

One of the largest mistakes made by those investigating the case was putting information about the case in the newspaper. The investigators called for the parents to ask their children about specific things that related to the case; this gave the children information about the case that they would have not known otherwise

Police media spokespersons usually speak out in support of their officer’s decisions immediately following the fatal use of force with the entirety of their media department available to manipulate public opinion in their favour. This was the case with Tyler Cassidy – immediate and unequivocally favourable support was provided to the officers simply based on initial reports. Surely a matter such as unusual as the police shooting of a 15 year old requires a more careful analysis than the defensive knee-jerk response given by Victoria Police. This blind loyalty is a major reason for the necessity of impartiality and independence when investigating such matters. Judgements should be reserved for the State Coroner to decide as there naturally exists a conflict of interest when investigating one’s own friends and

News coverage for court cases can sometimes be damaging to the objective outcome of a criminal trial. The publicity that comes with coverage can lead to prosecutors or judges to make actions that would suit political sides especially when considering being reelected (HOWE, n.d.). Fairness would in the end be compromised based on self-interest or actions that promote the interests of those in political positions. In addition, the most feared consequence might be due to the possibility of exposing witnesses that were otherwise not supposed to be known due to their lives being threatened. There might also be cases of reputation being damaged in addition to issuance of threats and reprisals. In addition, courtroom proceedings might be disrupted.

Your answers to the questions below should contain a description of the facts, legal issues and judicial reasoning of every case under consideration.

When it comes to a child abuse case there is not one agency that has the training to handle the case alone. Child Protective Services, doctors, therapists, the police and the prosecutor’s office all work together. The efforts of each agency/person are equally important. For this Case Study let’s focus in on the role of Child Protective Services, The Police Department, and the Prosecutor.

This week I went out on the field with a couple of case workers. The caseworkers needed help with detaining children, and putting them in an out of home placement shelter. Caseworkers were asking people, mainly interns to help them with their case. The intake caseworkers had an ethical reason, as to why they wanted an additional caseworker accompanying them. One caseworker did not want to transport a child in her car, because of what the child did to his sibling to be placed out of the home. The other caseworker ethically did not want transport a teenage boy in her car. OCY’s policies says if we are transporting a caseworker who is of a different gender, they are to ask a caseworker who fits the clients gender to go out on the field with them and detain the child. Both times transporting the youths to placement was a success.

A proposed determination working its way up the American Bar Association sounds adequately safe, if not absolutely decipherable.

Given the situation of an attorney bribing a judge and the judge accepting the bribe, the choice affects not only the attorney and the judge but anyone involved in that case. Furthermore, it affects anyone who has either worked with the attorney or the judge by questioning their behavior prior to the misdeed. The choices we make not only affect us but those around us as well, All of the cases that the judge has tried would be called into question. All of the cases the attorney has worked on would be called into question. My wife and her dad used to debate the color gray when it comes to life. My father in law believed in only black and white and my wife believed that gray was possible. Meta-ethical relativism is like the color gray. Gray is

There have been many Supreme Court cases throughout history. Without law, history shows that society may resort to violence; without a system of rules and regulations, society would break down and there would be uproar to follow. Law can be defined as rules that are established and enforced by a government, whether federal, state, or local.

Here, the both cases are relevant to our discussion about the rules of professional conduct and violation of attorney ethics because these cases involve attorneys who used substantial amount of preexisting documents in their briefs without providing proper citations. In addition, both cases raised the issue of unreasonable fees the attorneys had charged for their services. In the latter case, the court held that the defendant’s attorney violated the state rule of professional conduct and it ordered him to disgorge the fees. On the other hand, in the former case, it was determined that there was not enough evidence to prove that the attorney charged unreasonable fees. Further, the court noted that the attorney took various remedial actions to

Legal Case Study The American Automobile industry has historically been tied to the nations economic cycle in which three or four years were good followed by one or two poor years. In 1977 there were four major U.S. automakers including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and American Motors. Imports were starting to make their presence in the market because they offered subcompact cars at reasonable prices. Ford started producing the Ford Pinto on August 10, 1970.
