Don’t ever threaten me again about free legal work. We have $12,643.05 to split BECAUSE OF ME. There’s a huge difference between trial law and paper law! You fell apart the first day of the trial, sounding inept, bland and completely lacking in self-confidence. While I was on the stand you sat there dumbfounded while I pleaded with my eyes for you to object! I finally had to object for myself, and Judge Stevens said, you can’t object for yourself, Mrs. Kolbus, that’s Mr. Kolbuses job. And yet you still sat there flummoxed, as Carney beat the hell out of me (scoring points left and right), UNTIL Judge Steven’s finally had to yell at him!!! I alone got the Freddie Watson case in without ANY help from you. I choose all the evidence, and got EVERYTHING I wanted in, including Chris Fromm’s testimony!!! You were worthless! When you were on the stand, it was the exact opposite, I scored points and rang bells to WIN the case, and everyone in that court room knows it!!! By Wednesday you were a complete wreck and wanted to fold, I KINDLY hugged you, and told you to go watch sports and that I’d handle it. I put Chris Fromm on the stand despite …show more content…
I also helped immensely with editing! Yes, you sat there and researched case law and typed, which I constantly praised and thanked you for! DON’T ever try to take away what I did! Without me in front of that jury you were a crumbling mess! The three jurors that approached me, whispered to ME, that I was fantastic, incredible, etc. (not you)! When we were at the Wright’s party the following week and both of us stood in the kitchen talking to David Sweat, he looked directly into MY eyes, not yours and said, “So when are you going to law school (yes, David heard ALL about it)?” I answered, telling him that’s it’s not my cup of tea. He NEVER asked you, nor looked in your eyes, and I’m sure that eats you
Mr. Potbelly holds a garage sale at his home. Mr. Slim Jim stops by the sale and upon noticing a rare piece of art pottery offers a price of $100 for the art that is marked $250. Mr. Potbelly accepts Mr. Slim Jim’s offer. Mr. Potbelly informs Mr. Slim Jim he is selling his home because he is moving up north because he has lost his job.

Mr. Slim Jim offers him $70,000 cash for the property which Mr. Potbelly immediately accepts the offer. Mr. Slim Jim informs Mr. Potbelly that he will be back in one hour with a cashiers’ check made payable to Mr. Potbelly. Mr. Potbelly says “Great!” and that while Mr. Slim Jim
Attempting to obtain information about the district lawyer was harder than I thought. Not lot information was provided. According to the administrators usually in an elementary setting are not so common encounter litigations. Because I was not able to contact the district’s lawyer, the administrator assist me answering some of the questions presented here. The relationship between the law and my school are base in basic standards as curriculum adoption, testing and establishing standards, free and appropriate public education, determining where students can attend school, but nothing as a big litigation against the school. Also, it is addressed the differences in legal framework
1) Since the injured plaintiff was not wearing a seatbelt, why is Ford being sued for failing to test the seatbelt sleeve?

There are four primary sources of American law that “establish rights, duties, and privileges that are consistent with the values and beliefs of a society or its ruling group” (Miller, 2014). One of the oldest sources of primary law is the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified by delegates from 12 states on September 17, 1787 (The Constitution of the United States, 2015). The document has stood the test of time and been a model for many other nations with its emphasis on a strong government with maximum human freedom while avoiding tyranny (The Constitution of the United States, 2015). Since each state also has its own constitution, this would be in the same category as a primary source of American law. The second primary source of

One of the defendants actually states “Hey you good, Why aint you become a real lawyer” (p. 138). They think because they are getting this for free that these people representing them don’t have any idea what they are doing because the one was so good at using the facts for his client is a good way he got him acquitted.
Covenant and law are both prevalent themes that are used throughout the Old Testament of the Bible. A covenant is a binding contract in which “a kinship bond between two parties” is created when each party carries out assigned expectations established in the making of the covenant (Hahn and Bergsma 1). A law is a binding rule or regulation that is used to regulate the conduct of a community or group of people and is usually enforced by some kind of authority. There are many similarities and differences between covenant and law, and in some cases covenant and law can be connected so that one supports the other. This is especially true when talking about the Mosaic Law and God’s covenant with Israel. In these two items God creates expectations through the covenant, rules and regulations through the Law, and allows for covenant-maintenance by using both together rather than a simple law code.
Ballet after ballet, I voted not guilty. It was the right thing to do and it became a small step toward a non-segregation movement between blacks and whites. This was my duty because jury members must always be open minded and not form opinions on the case. I also did not want that poor black man taken away from his wife and family and put in jail for something he did not do. The last vote however, I had to vote the defendant guilty. I felt terrible, but I could not change the votes of others. All of the other jury members all kept voting guilty and I was the only one standing for truth and fairness. It is in the human nature of white people to choose white people over black people. I tried to change that and make a difference. Every minute out of that courtroom voting on the verdict made each and every person in the courtroom think about what was right and what was fair. In the end, justice was definitely not given to the right person. Only the people who had vision could see that this decision was wrong. I felt horrible about myself that I had to make and commit to that decision. It was a small step of progress in that town of Maycomb and I will never forget that day.
I represented the Affirmative side in our recent court case, as I supported Philip and opposed the Negative side, who supported Ms. Narwin. Our main points included the following: Miss Narwin had a personal issue with Philip and that is why she acted so cruelly towards him, Miss Narwin started the entire ordeal and was the real disturbance, and finally Philip had the right to hum in class due to the First Amendment. The opposition had several points as well, such as Philip was being disruptive, he twisted the story in his favor, and he was kindly asked to stop but repeatedly defied the teacher. We showed the fault in these counterpoints through rebuttal. Philip was not being disruptive, as just humming along to the national anthem should be
Hello judges, jurors, and everyone else present in this court room today. My name is Dr. Alyssa Diaz and I am an expert witness. I was called here to testify on this court case. Also I am here to inform you how examining a piece of hair from a suspect from a crime can help to find out who actually did commit the crime. There are some basic things that people should know about hair.
The two basic types of courts in the United States are trial courts and appellate courts. These two types of courts have two entirely different functions. The job of a trial courts is to determine questions of fact. Appeals courts, on the other hand, must determine questions of law. Appellate courts have the right to overrule jury verdicts and judges decisions due to the fact that an appellate court typically concerns itself solely with issues of law. An appeal is not the time to retry the case or to reargue the facts. In civil matters, either party can appeal the decision of the trial court. Usually in criminal matters, however, only the defendant may appeal a criminal conviction and the state is not
If you are the injured party of a crime, you report it to the police
The defendant’s tardiness, as well as his demeanor-very nonchalant- in court, made him appear to be unconcerned with the fact that he was on trial. At one point I thought he was going to fall asleep. This definitely had an impact on his impression on the jurors as they did not seem happy with his behavior and neither was the judge.
Throughout the United States there are many different laws among the fifty states that make up this union. The laws are different throughout the states because of the need of the laws. Living in one state and not having the advantages or disadvantages of a law in another state would not be that unfair or unequal. This is true because if you don’t like a law in your state you could always fight it and try to change it or you could always move out of that state and go to one that has the laws that you like.
