All people given a traffic citation are to appear in court on a specific date after their traffic citations. Those people who plead not guilty are set for trial at a future date, and the prosecutor and arresting officer are required to appear at trial. 75 percent of people who plead not guilty fail to appear at trial, but the city is still responsible for paying overtime expenses to those officers who are not on duty but must appear at trial. The court administrator is called upon to devise a system to limit the city's overtime expenses. The court administrator devises a system where the court has access to police officer schedules, and where all officers are normally scheduled at least one day a month during court trial hours, and sets trials involving those officers during that time period.
There are many famous action adventure stories around the world. These stories are often action-packed, thrilling, and exciting to read. High Noon by Carl Foreman and “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connel are two great, classic examples of these stories. At High Noon, the movie is about a fight that happens in an old, small, western town. The short story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” is about a dangerous adventure in the jungle of a small Caribbean island.
I conducted my observation at the Regional Justice Court in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is located at 200 Lewis Ave. I was able to see the morning docket of the Honorable Judge Diana Sullivan, who happens to be one of four pilot judges for the new Nevada Pretrial Risk Assessment (NPR). I went on the morning of Monday March 20th, to observe both her 8am docket and her 9:30am docket. The 8am docket contained initial appearances and arraignments for the in-custody suspects. There were a few status checks and arraignments for out of custody suspects as well. The 9:30 docket was entirely out of custody and there were a few initial appearances and preliminary hearings.
Administrative Law encompasses laws and legal principles that govern the administration and regulation of federal government agencies. Such agencies are delegated certain power by Congress to act as agents for the executive . For example, according to 38 U.S. Code § 301 the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is an executive department of the United States that holds the power to administer laws that provide benefits and other services to veterans and their beneficiaries . The goal of administrative law is to provide important concepts and aspects as to what laws and legal principles can govern federal government administration agencies. Even with this goal in mind some federal agencies do not operate to their fullest potential.
The Court and Trail cases are a subject that stands alone. It is a small world because there are many affairs to The Court System. In the New Orleans Court System there is a role of a Court Officer. The officer plays a critical role in maintaining order, and security within the court room before and after trial. I expect to learn more about the role of a Court Officer, as well as the different structures of the Orleans Parish Court House on Tulane day processes.
In the United States, each state has its own rules and laws that govern for the

The process of choose and approve a supreme court justice is a process clearly defined within the constitution. First, it starts with the president. The United States president, according to the constitution, must be the one to nominate possible choices to fill the seat. After that, the nomination must by confirmed by the Senate. All supreme court justices have life long terms, so there will never be a single president that must make all the appointments. If a president if put in a situation where he or she must put in nominate a justice, it can be a very lengthy process. The selection criteria can range anywhere from experience to political ideology.

The Supreme court once handled a criminal trial? Today, the mere mention of lynching evokes negative reactions from people, but in the past not so much. If you were a person of color, you feared lynching because laws were either not enforced or did not exist to protect you from that disgusting method of death. I want to examine the history of the court case, United States v. Shipp (1906), to give one account of the American legal process eked a victory for African-Americans. The Supreme Court case is notable because the legal process brought few victories for Blacks in the late/early 20th century America. For example, the thought of a Black man causing harm to a white woman was fatally unforgivable and some were lynched by the public, regardless of their innocence. In the case of Ed Johnson of Tennessee, he met that same fate; his sixth amendment rights were violated in the process. He was a citizen of the United States, and guaranteed the same rights as anyone else living in the country.
The decisions of state courts across the nation vary regarding the independent nature of the state judicial branch, and the different tiers of courts, trial, and the appellate. The selection of judges, the removal of judges and the issue covering caseload among other reforms are comparable across all states courts. In NY, the structure of the court system is similar to trials court and appeals courts (Pecorella and Stonecash 178). Bowman suggests more efficiently manage the caseload and political influence in the judiciary (Bowman 193-4). According to Bowman, state trial courts amounts to more than 100 million new cases each year (Bowman 225). The case load in NY’s eleven trial courts is one of the busiest in the nation's court system (Pecorella and Stonecash 171).
Jury duty is lampooned frequently in the popular culture as being a dreadfully boring waste of time and energy that keeps us all away from the more important things in life such as family, work, and getting drunk. Indeed, most of the time, juries see cases that are often dull and certain. Unfortunately, not all cases can be high profile, riveting murder cases that Nancy Grace can shrill on and on about for months on end. Perhaps worst of all, it is something that we are forced to do, and Americans tend to not like being forced to do things. However, there is no better way to grant impartiality to criminal procedures than the jury system. The jury system allows us, the average American, to have our say in the criminal justice process in perhaps the most important role: we can determine whether or not a person is guilty of a crime and we can do so uninhibited by our own personal biases, the biases of judges, and the biases of the federal government.
The Sheriff is the highest Law Enforcement Officer in the county with authority over deputies, bailiffs, and constables. Sheriffs are elected by the citizens of the county and are paid by the county. Sheriffs have a very important job and they also take on many responsibilities when they are sworn in.

Although I’m a product of the technological generation, I agree with Louise Katz, that “the classroom [is] a more engaging and inviting place” without cell phones. Growing up around cell phones, has made things convenient, as well as challenging. However, there is a time and place for everything, and classrooms aren’t the place for cellphones.
