Orange County Legal Case

On the evening of Thursday, August 25, 2016, officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) encountered Lan Nguyen Tran, a fisherman of Escambia County. Suspicious of Tran’s shrimp boat and nets, Officer Allgood and Officer Manning of the FWC inspected Lan Tran’s fishing nets, of which four were discovered to be larger than sizes permitted by law, equating to a misdemeanor offense in the state of Florida (source). In a second-level violation of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rules, Tran was detained, and a total of four oversized fishing nets were confiscated by the FWC officers (source). On Thursday, September 8, 2016, Lan Nguyen Tran entered the Escambia County court system, was arraigned on Friday, September 26, and pleaded not guilty on Tuesday, November 1, based on reports from the Escambia County Clerk of the Court (source). Tran was appointed a public defender by the court system, and The Honorable Ms. Jennifer Frydrychowicz was assigned to the case.

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’.

The case of New Jersey vs T.L.O was a resultant case of a search conducted by the then assistant vice principal- Theodore Choplick at Piscataway township high school with two freshmen girls -T.L.O inclusive, after a teacher had caught them smoking cigarettes in the bathroom. The first girl had admitted to the offense, however, T.L.O denied this. This prompted Theodore to demand to search her purse where he found implicating evidence. In short, she was expelled and fined for 1000 USD. This led to a court case with an intent on proving that the school had violated the Fourth Amendment since the school was a Governmental organization. The Fourth Amendment states that “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,

Ethics, or also referred to as moral philosophy, helps determine when things are right and when things are wrong. To kill or not to kill? To abuse or not to abuse? To hurt or not to hurt? In the nursing profession, as in all major health professional fields, nurses are bound to a certain Nurse’s Code of Ethics (Kelly, 2010). Obey the code, and a registered nurse can potentially live a long healthy career in the nursing field. Violate the nurse’s code of ethics, and one can seek penalties including but not limited to fines, fees, revocation, license suspension, probation, and even imprisonment. So what exactly happens to a Nurse who disobeys the code of ethics? The case between the State of Florida vs Mr. D.R.O. helps in getting a better understanding of what happens when a registered healthcare professional, in this case a Nurse, challenges the nursing code of ethics. Is the verdict appropriate in the defendant’s case? Were the consequences adequately applicable to the damages the defendant imposed? How can future and active registered nurses avoid situations like this in their career? Although the concept of ethics and the answers to some of these questions can seem common sense to most of us, in some cases, our minds can be clouded or disturbed

The process of bringing, maintaining, and defending a lawsuit is called litigation. The word litigation usually strikes fear into the hearts of the business community. Litigation relates to a claim for damages decided by legal proceedings. Most litigation cases involve defending the company when accused of wrongdoing. The litigation process includes discovery, trials, and judgments. Litigation cases involve a lawyer to be employed by the business just for litigation purposes. Possessing a

It’s a much different outcome than a Sunday night incident in nearby Uniontown, which culminated in the shooting of a responding police officer and subsequent shooting death of the suspect.

Disputes between individuals can be resolved through mediation, tribunals and courts are sought depending on the complexity and nature of the dispute. Their effectiveness in achieving justice for and between individuals to varying extents will be assessed by their ability to uphold notions of fairness, equality, access, timeliness, enforceability and resource efficiency.

Alternative dispute resolution is by no means a recently adopted form of dispute resolution. Courts now yield a vast number alternative dispute resolution alternatives, with even some courts requiring that cases be taken to mediation before the court will allow the litigation process to begin. In many facets of industry, alternative dispute resolutions are much preferred alternatives to the litigation process. For example, the construction industry

* Given a business situation, evaluate the various options for resolving a business dispute from a legal perspective and develop an optimal course of action to resolve the dispute.

Beyond negotiation and mediation, there are a number of approaches that decrease the personal control the people involved have over the dispute outcome, increase the involvement of external decision makers, and rely increasingly on win-lose and either-or decision-making techniques. These approaches can be divided into public and private, and legal and extralegal.

Time-consuming process. The whole settlement process could not only take a huge amount of time but also considerable economic losses. After the panel established in 2005, the final report was postpone to 2007 for the case’s complexity.

O’Grady’s behaviour towards Devine can be explained by the perceptual effect called the Halo Effect, it is defined as “a perceptual error whereby our general impression of a person, usually based on one prominent characteristic, colours our perception of the other characteristics of the person”(McShane,Steen & Tasa, 2015). In other words, this effect occurs when one definite trait, aspect or characteristic of a person misrepresents them in the eyes of the viewer. The one aspect/trait is used to colour that person in a certain light and overshadows the person’s other traits. In this case study, the fact that Devine is an outsider and not from the Trivac’s employee base distorts O’Grady’s views about him. O’Grady believes that Devine is sent

On January 1, 2008, four lawsuits involving Brad Pitt were filed in Ohio. The first was brought by Matt Damon against Brad Pitt to acquire quiet title to one-acre of Brad’s land that Matt had cleared and built a barn on. Looking into quiet titles and adverse possession laws will determine if Matt can get title to the land or not. The second case involves Snazzy Jeff, a paparazzo, seeing Maddox, Brad’s son, dropped his Pokémon camera. Snazzy Jeff then came up and took the item hoping to find pictures to sell on it without informing Brad or Maddox. This may be a case of lost property or theft that needs to be evaluated. The third case involves Brad suing Jackie Philabaum at the request of his wife. At the parade, Brad took off his coat and

What makes the difference is how the disputes are resolved. Instinctively, once a dispute arises we access the justice system with the hope of getting some form of redress. Sometimes we get justice in record time but most times it comes long after the parties have not only become impoverished but also the cost of the litigation process may
