District Judge Case Study

Throughout the course of this investigation, the following courthouse was researched to locate any all court documentation for Dennis Baker and Charlotte Baker, as the search was expanded to include Shawna Thornton’s affiliation with the Bakers’.

On March 16, 2016, President Barrack Obama nominated U.S. Circuit Judge Merrick Garland to fill the vacancy on the U.S Supreme Court. What could be President Obama strategies for doing so? How this could affect the presidential elections and the candidates? How will this affect both the Democratic and Republican parties?

The State of Texas should continue electing state-level judges in partisan elections instead of being appointed by the governor with approval of the Texas Senate. The most popular method of selecting state-level judges is the assisted appointment, where a nominating committee of both lawyers and non-lawyers review the applications of individuals wanting the position. This committee then gives their list of the top candidates to the governor, and the governor then chooses from that list. In my opinion, this would be the best method of selecting state-level judges as each candidate is reviewed in a committee chosen by the state bar/executive branch. This helps promote the best candidates being chosen. However, given the two choices, elections

The Eighth Circuit Court has raised an intriguing legal and controversial issue by ruling that the State of Arkansas could force death row prisoner, Charles Laverne Singleton, to take antiphychodic drugs to insure he was sane for execution. After research, I found that Singleton remained in the appeals process for twenty-four-and-a-half years because of the 1986, U.S. Supreme Court decision, Ford vs. Wainwright, that ruled execution of the insane is cruel and unusual punishment. The state authorities finally decided to treat the prison inmate based on the 1990, U.S. Supreme Court decision, Washington vs. Harper, that subjects prison inmates with serious mental illness to mandatory anti-psychotic drugs against his

MILLERSBURG — For admitted stealing lawn furniture from two businesses, a former Millersburg woman on Thursday was sentenced to a suspended prison term.

MILLERSBURG — To pay for some necessary improvements at the jail and increasing inmate medical costs, Holmes County Sheriff Timothy W. Zimmerly and the Holmes County commissioners have agreed to do some cost sharing and shifting of revenues from housing out-of-county inmates.

SCOTUS never ruled on whether or not it was constitutional for Congress to give Virginia its portion of the District back. By the time, then it came into question, in 1876, the high court decided it was too late to weigh in — Virginia had “de facto” possession, and revisiting the matter would be too

This decision essentially allowed for the Judicial Branch to be on a more even level of power between the Legislative and Executive branches. John Marshall faced the court with an argument that stated some acts of Congress are unconstitutional which are not binded to the courts. The Judicial Branch has a priority to stand by the Constitution, which can be difficult at times for those members when Congress passed a law that was unconstitutional. John Adams and his Federalists colleagues did everything they could to stay in power. One idea to keep their power was to expand the number of judges in the Federal Judiciary. They passed The Midnight Judges Act which allowed for people to be a judge in the unreasonable hours of the night. Once Jefferson

Today (February 4th, 2016), I was placed in Courtroom 4C of the courthouse and instructed to sit-in and observe every case brought forward to the judge today. I have to say, some of the cases I heard about today were not your real average day cases. One thing one of my supervisors; Vinny, told me to look out for was the the college/high school students who got in trouble for underage possession because they stick-out like a sore thumb in the courthouse. He said you can tell which ones they are based on the way they are dressed and how nervous they look when they are sitting and waiting for their case to be heard. Vin was not wrong, once the room was open for people to come in, I saw a group of 5-6 college-age students walk in very well dressed and most of them came in with one or two parents next to them. Throughout the day, some of the cases brought forward to the judge

In the spring of 2011, right around the time Donald Trump was humiliated by Barack Obama during the president's speech at the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, placed a call to Richard Mack. Kushner was thirty years old, a decade and a half younger than Mack, but in many respects the men were peers. They were both scions of prominent real estate families, and in 2009 Mack and his wife had attended Kushner's wedding, to Ivanka Trump. The two men were also business associates: Mack held some of the debt on 666 Fifth Avenue, a gleaming thirty-nine-story office building in midtown Manhattan for which Kushner had paid a record $1.8 billion in 2007.

In November 17th 2016, I have visited the Superior Court Central Courthouse of San Diego and attended two appellate civil cases. The first and the main case I will discuss in my paper has the title of Felczer vs Apple Inc. and the second has the title of Notman vs. Millers towing company.

The United States district courts are the general trial courts for the United States. In the district courts both civil and criminal cases are filed in. Each state has at least one district court in it but there could be more than just one. All of the district courts in the United States lie within the boundary of a single jurisdiction. The district courts can be divided into four different types of categories. Those categories are civil, criminal, juvenile, and magistrate. Civil cases are things that involve divorces, child custody, child support or anything that is 25,000 dollars or less. Most criminal cases involve misdemeanors or are less serious crimes and those cases usually do not have a jury with them. Juvenile cases involve those who

The Judge's decision was that cops are allowed to go through you phone with passcode if you are a suspected criminal. The judge based his decision on that the passcodes is not a violation it's something they need to fix and finish the case. The Judge gave an example but my similar example is giving the code to stop a bomb from exploding. That's how the judge based his decision off.
