Judicial Court Case Analysis

In the year 1803 the case of Marbury v. Madison was brought before the Supreme Court in order to address the issue of William Marbury’s appointment as federal circuit judge. This created a unique and complex challenge for the Supreme Court of the time because they were operating under no legal precedent, which meant that they had no prior cases to reference to reach a ruling. The issue came to a head after the Judiciary Act of 1801 allowed for President John Adams to appoint sixteen new circuit judges one of them being William Marbury. However, before Secretary of State Marshall ran out of time before he was able to deliver Marbury’s appointment. When the new Secretary of State James Madison entered office, he refused to deliver Marbury’s appointment, claiming that it was too late. Outraged, Marbury filed a writ of mandamus against Madison in order to force him to complete the specified action, which in this case was to deliver the commission. However, through complex political maneuvering the Judiciary Act of 1802, was enacted which repealed the Judiciary Act of 1801 reestablishing the Judiciary Act of 1789 and postponing the case until 1803. One of the key issues in the case was then if William Marbury was entitled to a remedy for the deprivation of his right to his commission. Chief Justice John Marshall with a narrow and technical ruling then determined that since President Adams with his signature had completed Marbury’s commission of appointment he was entitled to the

The case Marbury vs. Madison led to the most important decision the US Supreme Court has ever made. The parties, William Marbury, appointed Justice of Peace under the Judiciary Act of 1801 by John Adams the former US president, and James Madison, Thomas Jefferson’s Secretary of State at the time, had conflicting interests concerning William Marbury’s right to office. Madison refused to grant Marbury his appointment. This led to Marbury ordering the Supreme Court to issue a writ of mandamus, obliging Marbury to grant his commission. Marbury’s main argument was that the Judiciary Act of 1789 granted the power to issue former to the Supreme Court. By refusing the appointment, Marbury claims, is Madison violating his legal rights to obtain the commission. The Court’s ruling in this case, delivered by Mr. Chief Justice John Marshall in 1803, had an important impact on the establishment of judicial review. But was the Court’s decision justified?

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.

This case of Marbury vs Madison is one of the most important cases in Supreme Court history. This case was the first case to apply "judicial review" or the power of federal courts to declare acts Unconstitutional. The principle was written in 1803 by John Marshall, the Chief Justice and officially made the Supreme Court a balanced branch of government on par with the other two.

In this instant appeal, Mr. Shoemaker asserts that the circuit court erred by imposing an improper purge provision after finding him to be in contempt, and that the circuit court erred in finding that Mr. Shoemaker would be liable for alimony payments in accordance with the parties’ original separation agreement. We shall address both of these arguments in turn.

According to the Constitution, how do Congress and the President balance the power of the Supreme Court?

In 1803, the case of “Marbury vs Madison” had started. This case was led by John Marshall himself, and it never went downhill. “In the case, The court ruled that Thomas Jefferson was completely wrong to stop William Marbury from going into office as justice of the peace for Washington County in the District of Columbia”. Following this agreement,” The Judiciary Act of 1789 gave the Supreme Court jurisdiction”. However, “The Marshall court ruled the Act of 1789 to be an unconstitutional extension of judiciary power into the realm of the executive”. Marshall argued that “The Constitution is either a

The judicial nomination process has changed since 1985 because of Robert Bork which forced presidents to appoint noncontroversial judges. Also, senatorial courtesy has become a major step in the nomination process. A blue slip is something the senator of the state that a judge is from to either confirm or deny them.

On Tuesday March 21, Judge Neil Gorsuch's Supreme Court confirmation hearing took place. When asked about Citizens United, Gorsuch replied comically and also stated "approach the law as you find it." In addition, he was asked on his viewpoint on Gideon v. Wainright. He responded by saying that "disliking or liking the precedent is not his job" and "precedents deserve respect and has to be analyzed under the law of precedent." When asked about Roe v. Wade he explained that it is his responsibility to respect the precedent even if he does not agree with that precedent. His strongest disapproval of the president came when asked about Trump's attacks on the Judiciary. He called criticism of the judiciary "disheartening" and "demoralizing."

“Under the Supreme Court’s appellate jurisdiction, the Court hears cases appealed from federal courts of appeals, or it may hear appeals from federal district courts in certain circumstances in which an act of Congress has been held unconstitutional” (Bohm & Haley, pp. 278, 2011). The appellate powers also extend to cases from states higher courts as long as the appeals are limited to violations of federal law or constitutional rights. In fact, the Supreme Court is primarily an appellate court, however, “the Supreme Court also has original jurisdiction… to two types of cases: (1) cases involving representatives of foreign governments; and (2) certain cases in which a state is a party” (Bohm & Haley, pp. 279, 2011). While the topic of judicial

With Article III, the founding fathers established the Supreme Court, also called SCOTUS, to interpret the Constitution. Over time, and after reviewing multiple decisions, SCOTUS increased their powers and authority. From cases such as Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803) and Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965), SCOTUS assumed the privilege of judicial review and jurisdiction over penumbral state rights. Supreme Court skeptics claim that the justices are undemocratic, and the Framers recognized their dissent. In response, they developed measures to limit judicial expansion and preserve their political independence. Because of the additions, the Supreme Court should retain their power to overturn state laws.

During the week seven class session on February 7th, Joseph P. Farina, retired Chief Judge of Florida’s 11th Circuit, discussed the judicial system with the class. I knew most of the technical material that he covered because I have taken Judicial Process in the past. I loved his use of legal inside terms like “cash register justice” in terms of prosecutor discretion and “stiffs and gifts” for probate. I will never forget what probate refers to. I agreed with Farina’s presentation, and I think that his presentation was particularly powerful in regards to showing ethics in the legal profession. He discussed economic disadvantage in appeals due to the cost of transcripts and the process and determining punishment.
