Lawyer Are Hired Guns
I think that the book and our class discussion does both dispel and promote the idea that lawyer are "hired guns". As far as dispelling the idea goes, we are taught that lawyers bring law to everyone innocent or not. They are meant to bring out the truth and defend anyone who is going to court. Lawyers are only meant to interpret the law for their clients and find a course of action that is fair to both parties.

However the can only interpret the law for their clients because they are only loyal to their clients and no one else save for respecting the court. And because they are the only ones that can interpret the law they hold more power. Any one that can hire better lawyers or just more, has an advantage because they have more time and

    Explain Why I Want To Strip Search You

    For an example. Let’s say a federal officer wants to strip search you. That person has done nothing wrong, but the police officer disagrees and says he needs to strip that person to prove it. Under the criminal justice system, you get to bring that argument to a judge, who will issue a ruling only after listening to the government’s reasons for wanting to strip search you and your reasons for why they shouldn’t be allowed to do that. In the event that the judge rules against you and finds that the police officer has probable cause to search you, not only do you have a right to appeal that judge’s decision all the way to the Supreme Court, you are welcome to talk to as many reporters, friends, relatives, and elected officials as you want to…

    Write An Essay On The Legislative Branch

    The courts alone have the power to interpret the law, which is called jurisdiction. However, their jurisdictional power is restricted to federal and constitutional laws. When the courts make a decision in cases regarding interpretation of the law, it is called precedent. The lower courts must follow the precedent placed by the Supreme Court. Citizens who wish to have their case reviewed by the Supreme Court must appeal to the Court for a writ of certiorari. Typically the Court will hear the case if four of the nine justices decide that they should. The Supreme Court rarely holds trials; the Court’s duty is to interpret laws and decide how they should be enforced. For example, the Supreme Court ruled to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide in their landmark Obergefell v. Hodges case after studying the Fourteenth…

    How an Individual’s Power, Money, and or Socioeconomic Status Can Affect the Justice Administered to Them by the United States Judicial Branch.

    How an Individual’s Power, Money, and or Socioeconomic Status Can Affect the Justice Administered to Them by the United States Judicial Branch.

    The Judicial Branch of the United States government is an extremely important factor in the success of today’s society, without it, society would have no standard of order and things would be completely and utterly chaotic! As a matter of fact no country would be complete without a Judicial Branch or some type of government in place because it is mandatory in the successful and smooth running of a civilized society. As Aristotle, the famous Greek philosopher, once stated, “At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.” What is the Judicial Branch? The general purpose of the judicial branch is to hear cases, interpret federal law, including the Constitution, and administer fair justice to all United States Citizens. The Judicial Branch consists of the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts. In the majority of cases the Judicial Branch administers fair justice to all, after all, the law requires it to, and the National Pledge of Allegiance promises that the United States is “…One Nation under God with liberty and justice for all.” Sadly, there have been some cases passed through the judicial system in which the involved parties did not receive fair justice. Usually, in these rare cases, the court decision is unfairly and or negatively influenced by other factors. More specifically, some judicial rulings have been affected for the worse by the participating parties’ power, socioeconomic status, and/or money.…

    Explain The Social Factors Involved In Adjudication

    I agree with Schellenberg. Judges interpret law and apply it to a case to help determine a verdict. The Supreme Court also has the power of judicial review; they have the power to review the nation's law and judge whether it's Constitutional or unconstitutional (meaning whether or not the law should be allowed under the Constitution). They don't allow Congress or state legislators to pass laws that abridge the freedoms given to citizens under the Constitution.…

    A-Moral Advocate or a Pure Legal Advocate

    The legal profession quite often comes under scrutiny from the general public and frequently is portrayed in negative light. Lawyers are naturally given a higher social status with the income to match. The legal profession however is still one of the most popular occupations that students strive to become and it is obvious that people recognize and appreciate the importance of this occupation within society. Lawyers and the legal profession on a moral ground are not viewed as morally good or fair. Lawyers face a difficult conflict where in America the code of professional Responsibility states “Lawyers have the solemn duty to uphold the honour and integrity of the profession, and encourage respect for the law and courts”. In a conflicting manner the ACPR also states that cannon 7 “ A lawyer must represent his client zealously within the bounds of the law. He must suspend his beliefs and his ethical judgement, and in some cases work zealously for a decision he knows will be unjust. A lawyer is not an umpire but an advocate” It is a fine line for a lawyer to walk to uphold respect for the profession and law, but also do everything within their power and a legal manner to ensure their client is given a fair trial. The moral conflicts that lawyers face on a regular basis steams to the question of whether a good lawyer can be a morally good person, or simply a good lawyer must be a pure legal advocate. This also raises a number of other issues such as whats defines a morally good person or how do we determine a pure legal advocate or someone of an a-moral status. This paper will discuss the different views and conflicts created in the legal profession and further explore what makes a ‘good lawyer’.…

    Pros And Cons Of The Adversarial Justice System

    Another part of this is the dominance of money in the adversary system. The more money you are willing to spend on a lawyer may determine weather you are winning or losing the court case. You may find a lawyer with more experience in the field also they may do more to help you try and win your case by utilizing certain resources they may have established by spending more money, but is not always the case. People who have money, such as those in high to middle class families may have the money to do so, in retrospect families who are in the lower class or new families to the country may struggle with this or people that are homeless. (Cramton, 2002) By being able to choose what lawyer you would like to represent you in court you can find a lawyer that…
