The Legal Systems Of The World-

Due to negative aspects that were presented in cases such as the Corey Davis case, the effectiveness of the Australian Legal System in accomplishing justice began to be viewed to demonstrate flaws in certain occasions by the Australian public. The Australian legal system aims to achieve equality and fairness towards the citizens of Australia to avoid anarchy within the nation. This is accomplished by set rules and laws that are created by the government. However, if these rules and laws are to be broken by an individual or a group of people living within the borders of the country, they may face legal consequences that include getting a fine, imprisonment, a life sentence or in some occurrences, a combination of these forms of punishment. In the Corey Davis case, an eleven year old boy that is identified as ‘W’ is sent to trial for committing an offence towards a six year old boy. An outline of the events in the Corey Davis case will be further explored as well as the involvement of the police, the conduct of the court system throughout the investigation of the case and its influence in achieving justice, and a summary of the trial. Furthermore, the debate about the current age limit for doli incapax and whether it is appropriate for modern society will be discussed as the Corey Davis case raised arguments about this topic. The Australian legal system aims to achieve justice, however certain instances such as the Corey Davis case have proved that it may occasionally

Modern day common law is adjudicated similarly with it being judged according to available statutes or acts enacted by legislative bodies and decisions made in previous cases after all evidence and facts are attained. The decisions of a court/judge are binding only in a particular jurisdiction (area of control or influence), and even within jurisdiction, some courts have more power than others. Due to this before a decision is made it must be accepted by higher courts (Statute and Common Law, 2014).

It is extremely important to protect the rights of the minority people in order to be able to live in a democracy. One of the basis that a democracy follows by is the ability to protect the rights of the minorities, so that everyone’s voice can be heard and respected.

One of Rome’s best achievements was its law system. When the empire collapsed and split into the Western and Eastern empires, the law system collapsed with it. Emperor Justinian 1 ruled the Eastern, or Byzantine, Empire. He saw that Rome’s law system was not in the best condition and was determined to make it better. Justinian created his own set of laws based on the old Roman laws. This set of laws would be known as Corpus Juris Civilis, which translates to “Body of Civil Law” (Justinian’s Code).

Imagine you are the director of health information services for a medium-sized health care facility. Like many of your peers, you have contracted with an outside copying service to handle all requests for release of patient health information at your facility. You have learned that a lobbying organization for trial attorneys in your state is promoting legislation to place a cap on photocopying costs, which is significantly below the actual costs incurred as part of the contract.

Most nations today follow one of two major legal traditions; Common law tradition or civil law tradition. The Common law is a body of law bases on custom and general principles embodied in case law which serve as precedent and is applied to situations not covered by statute. The common law traditions emerged in England during the middle ages and was applied within the British colonies across continents.

To understand how roman law influenced the French civil code roman laws evolution throughout European nation and its influence before the French civil code as well must be understood. After the collapse of western roman empire roman law would not resurface until later Italy; roman law would remain the focus of study and development throughout the middle ages. the revival of roman law in the late eleventh and twelfth centuries helped it gain favorable reception and lead to the spread of its study from “bologna to Montpellier and other parts of France”. Roman Law was the law that was in effect throughout the age of antiquity in the City of Rome and later in the Roman Empire. When Roman rule over Europe came to an end, Roman Law was largely--though

Although a democracy is focused on majority rule the rights of the minorities must not be ignored. A principle of democracy is that everyone receives equal opportunities in order to fight to become the majority. By protecting minority rights we are protecting the individual. Our government was set up giving rights to every person so that everyone can have an equal opportunity. For example the right to freedom of speech gives minority groups the opportunity to voice their complaints and cause a positive change from the government. If minorities are not given the right to voice their opinion and fight to become a majority they will never be on an equal

It would be impractical for judges to not make law in some situations as both parties in the case would not want the judge to refuse to deal with the case and they would want the matter decided. ‘Judicial decisions are important as a source of law on matters where the government is

The United States court system is the institution were all the legal disputes in the american society are carryed out and resolved. However, one single court is not enough to resolve every single dispute in society and that is why the court system is made up of two different courts, the federal courts and the state courts. Moreover, the federal and state courts are made up of several divisions made to handle legal disputes differently depending on its seriousness. For example, the state court is made up of trial courts of limited jurisdiction and probate courts were cases and disputes originate and then move up to trial courts of general jurisdiction, intermediate apellate courts, and courts of last resort respectively depending on the case.In contrast, the federal court consists of district courts, territorial coutrs, tax court, court of international trade, claims court, court of veterans appeals, an courts of military review which then move on to courts of appeals respectively and may ultimately end up in the United States supreme court. In addition, cases from state court may also appeal into the federal court system but not the other way around.

In the following paper, I will describe what worldwide criminal justice systems are doing to address the criminal issues I identified. I will talk about the terrorist group ISIS about the crimes they have committed. Then I will discuss how the worldwide criminal justice system handled the crime. The last thing I will discuss is the effectiveness of the systems response and include suggestions for future responses to combat or prevent these crimes.

Critically assess the different sources and characteristics of the English Legal System. To what extents have external influences affected its development.

The quest towards ensuring adequate protection for vulnerable minorities within contemporary society is raising new issues about the theory of rights protection especially for the ethnic and small cultural minorities within large multi-ethnic societies (Kymlicka, 1995:2). Preserving national homogeneity and equal treatment for all is incomplete without considering what protection is available for the vulnerable groups within the society. Some liberal theorists, have advocated favour minority protection through differentiated rights (Kymlicka, 1995:2).
