The Distract Attorney

The definition of a lawsuit is a civil action brought in court in which a plaintiff demands another person, known as the defendant, pay this person equitable resolve (dictionary.com). In other words they want payment for being wronged in the past. If the case is found to be legitimate and proven justifiable, the defendant pays the plaintiff the awarded compensation. This brings us to the story, The Lawsuit, by Naguib Mahfouz. This tale is about a son being sued by his father’s widow demanding maintenance be paid to her some twenty years after the father’s death. Several of the individuals in this story serve very little purpose.

T.S. Elliot once wrote, “Distracted from distraction by distraction.” This line comes from Eliot’s “Burnt Norton,” Four Quartets. This quote means that we are letting the distraction of the internet distract us, or today’s teens, from the distraction of our daily lives. I challenge the decision to allow teenagers excessive access to social media and texting. These media outlets are doing more than just distracting today’s youth: it’s affecting their health, social life, and school career.

The Crown prosecutor is the head legal representative of the prosecution who are appointed by the crown. They are briefed by the Director of Public Prosecutions for some cases and deal with both state and federal matters.

First, between 1890 and 1930, the management of the police force was centralized. Virtually every decision had to go to the top for approval, with the goal of limiting the low-level officer’s exposure to temptation. To reinforce the hierarchy, specialized units were created to deal with such problems as drugs, youth, guns, and gangs. As Bratton described it, [The department] was divided into little fiefdoms, and some bureau chiefs didn’t even talk to each other…. Each bureau was like a silo: Information entered at the bottom and had to be delivered up the chain of command from one level to another until it reached the chief’s office.

Policing and the way they operate are truly similar as if they are hand in hand with one another. In order for operations to run smoothly and the department to be functioning as one there has to be proper training and care from the supervisors, administrators and from everyone who works together to understand that they’re a team. Everyone in the police department has to work together instead of against one another just to make sure everyone is doing their jobs by the books with no room for errors.

Corruption has always been a danger to law enforcement, just as it has been a danger to all of mankind since the beginning of time. Since the very first police agency was formed in the 1800s, corruption has been widespread. The 19th century was an era in which politics played a very large role in police forces. Various political parties essentially had some police departments in their pockets, and as long as officers served to further those political parties’ agendas, the officers’ continued employment was guaranteed. Since politicians have not always been known for being straight-laced, one can easily see how corruption within police departments became prevalent. Since officers were not serving the people, but rather the political elite, their motives were constantly in question. It was not long before politicians began employing police officers to overlook and even protect their illicit activities. Through this practice, officers began to see the potential monetary and political benefits of allowing and participating in certain illegal actions. Even after the establishment of countermeasures such as police commissions, civil service exams, and legislative changes, corruption remained rampant. This corruption was perhaps best exemplified by none other than the actions of many officers within the Rampart Division of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Chiefs are powerful leaders of police agencies and without their support formalizing any partnership can be very difficult (Jannetta, J., & Lachman, P., 2011). Leaders of organizations such as Police Chiefs often have the credibility and connections to reach out to other agencies such as probation departments to establish formal partnerships. Chiefs can implement partnerships at an organizational level and provide officers with the opportunity, resources, training, and incentives to participate in collaborations (Jannetta, J., & Lachman, P.,

Kevin M. Gilmartin opens up his book by trying to describe how a new officer full of spirit, hope, and ideals of Law Enforcement start out as a fun spirited individual with friends from a world outside of the Law Enforcement Family. Gilmartin then tries to describe how the bond between officers forms. This is tough to do. As Officers we see our fellow brothers as an extended family, We love one another there is a bond that only another Law Enforcement Officer knows or feels. This bond extends automatically to Officers from different agencies without question. Gilmartin states “One of the first costs of the journey through a police career can be the old friendships, the ones that predate police work” (Gilmartin, 2002). This is to be

Immediately prior to the Twin River valet strike, David Demuth facilitated a petition that was posted on the wall at Twin River discouraging maintenance department members from voting to support the valet group. Maini called me up and I told him to remove Demuth from the maintenance department negotiating committee which he did and that is the basis for this charge. The case law is very clear and the decision involving Local 254 that the union needs to speak with one voice and can remove individuals from elected steward positions when it undermines the Union’s rule and that is exactly what Demuth did by posting this petition on the bulletin board that the Company knew that there was a rift in the Union.

Severance works somewhat differently in federal criminal trials because this case involves the indictment of more than one defendant Jones, Walsh and Bert. In Bert 's situation, his defense attorney will provide an argument that a joint trail might be unfair against Bert or reaching a decision on the rape charges against him. The Severance is not automatic because the Federal rule 14 allows judges broad discretion in deciding whether to grant a severance to Bert. To be successful, Bert’s defense will to fill a motion for his severance which must show the concerns for Bert 's right to a fair trial outweigh the goals of the joinder. One of the most successful grounds for seeking severance for Bert arises when Bert wishes not to testify on all, some or any of the charges in the trail but chooses to claim his Fifth Amendment privilege on one or more charges. The separating by court order, such as separate trials for Bert, Jones, and Walsh who are charged with the same crime, or trying the negligence aspect of the rape charge or any other charge before the trail. Such division of issues in the trail is sometimes called "bifurcation." ("Burton 's Legal Thesaurus," 4E. (2007).

On a Tuesday morning Tom, a well-respected attorney was over scheduled. He had three different courtrooms he was needed in all at one location. However, he also, had another two courtrooms he was needed as well in a different courthouse forty minutes away. And all were scheduled at the same appointed hour. So, he begins his morning rushing out the door with some very hot coffee and ends up spilling it on his light grey jacket. Thus, leaving a lovey stain that would remain all day. Tom, than makes the plan of how he can attempt to make this as clean and neat as possible. He has his administrative assistant named Sierra prep each case file and make sure that he has all of the paperwork and coffee that is required for his very busy day that lies

As mentioned previously, prosecutors who are trying a case may be prone to biases. Similarly, governmental investigations of police misconducts may also have conflicts as well. These conflicts may relate to those that are experienced by prosecutors in that they may be politically influenced. For example, Attorney General Jeff Sessions stated that “federal investigations of police departments were bad for “morale,” and [he] waved away the idea that police abuses could be systemic, rather than the actions of a few bad apples” (Serwer, 2017). As the Department of Justice is under the direction of the Attorney General, there may be less active investigations of police misconduct. Courts may also face conflicts in that judges are also prone
