Liberty University presented a case of White v. Gibbs which is about Mrs. Debbie White and Patrick Gibbs under the civil provisions of Indiana’s Dram Shop Act, Indiana Code 7.1-5-10-15.5. In this case Mrs. Debbie White sued Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern. Because White and Gibbs do not live in the same states, the suit was brought in diversity in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana. However, the suit will be decided under Indiana state law. The main goal of this courtroom is to argue the motion for summary judgment which is concerning the case of Mrs. Debbie White, Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern. In this case, the plaintiff is Debbie White. Two moot court attorneys who are Amanda Babbitt and Jack Walsh represent Mrs. White. The defendants are Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern. Also two other moot court attorneys who are Benjamin Walton and Jordan Van Meter represent the defendants which are Mr. Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern.
On that day which Bruno White was killed, Debbie White and Bruno White went to O’Malley’s tavern to have dinner around 7:00p.m. Also, Mr. Hard who is Mrs. White’s former fiancé was at O’Malley’s at that time. When Mr. and Mrs. White came to the restaurant, Mr. Hared moved toward to them and he gave congratulations about their marriage. After he talked to them, he returned to his sit and kept drinking the alcohol beverages. Mr. Hard drank about six shots of whisky in about twenty eight minutes according to John Daniel and Mrs. White. John Daniel who was the only bartender at O’Malley’s Tavern that night was a licensed bartender and he served each and every shot of alcohol beverage to Mr. Hard that night. Mr. Hard stood up and knocked over his stool. Customers who were at O’Malley’s Tavern witnessed him fall after this accident. They were also aware of his intoxicated state. After he recovered his consciousness, he sat back on his stool and Mr. Daniels gave him another beer.

Duke later traveled to the meeting location, at 539 seven mile, Detroit, Michigan, and advised the agents in charge of the case that the vehicle of connect man was at the residence.

    In the case of White v. Gibbs, the plaintiff, Mrs. Debbie White, sued O’Malley’s Tavern alongside Patrick Gibbs. Gibbs served as bartender at the tavern during the night in question. Mrs. White seeks settlement under the state of Indiana’s Dram Shop Act. Under the Dram Shop Act, a bartender assumes liability to any persons injured who were served alcohol while exhibiting obvious signs of intoxication (Todd, 1986). Since the two parties reside in different states, the case was brought to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana. The defendants, Patrick Gibbs and O’Malley’s Tavern, sought summary judgment on their behalf. Mrs. White’s rebuttal was that the summary judgment should…

    Xander Barden and Katelyn Lippa are the defendant’s (O’Malley’s Tavern and Patrick Gibbs) representatives they are recommending the Court present an outline verdict to the bartender, John Daniels and O’Malley’s Tavern. There is definite understanding and helpful information defined in the Indiana Dream Shop Act which contains useful knowledge. Mr. Edward Hard did not participate or take on any behavior or actions that provided proof of intoxication. Debora White, the Plaintiff is in search of compensation from the defendants, O’Malley’s Tavern and Patrick Gibbs with the theory that Mr. Patrick Gibbs had concrete awareness of Mr. Edward Hard’s consumption of alcohol. (I.C. 7.1-5-10-15.5, 1996) cites that Mr. Gibbs the defendant have actual knowledge of the person being intoxicated before damages are allowed to be awarded. Practical awareness does not persuade the hindrance nor does individual awareness. Indirect evidence doesn’t support practical awareness only actual knowledge. Individual awareness can sustain the intrusion whereas actual knowledge has to carry through and support the intrusion. Observable dealings with the recognizable events of intoxication are prejudiced according to the 7th Indiana State Circuit Court. In the Supreme Court statue stated prior to the year 1988 common law tolerated practical awareness for intrusions and caused a change in the law for this not to be supported.…

    The Courtroom Work Group is a group that is comprised of the judge, prosecutor, defense attorneys, claimants as well as the defendants. The roles of the individuals in the Courtroom Work Group are to work together to successfully prosecute in the criminal case. This group interacts on a daily basis with all having a mutual goal of production in mind to close the case. In my opinion a Courtroom Work Group is non-other than a group of people with authority who all come together and see how they can close this case without it actually going to trial. It is similar to the same process of deciding rather or not to offer someone a plea bargain. I say this because in the Courtroom Work Group the defendant are already presumed to be guilty and the rest of the group work together to come to an agreement on the sentencing rather than to actually serve justice.…

    For this service learning project I went downtown first to the Daley center, then to the Circuit Court of Cook County. While there, I observed various criminal court cases, most which dealt with domestic violence and abuse. There was one particular case that stuck out to me the most. Torense Arnold vs.Latrarice Johnson was the second criminal case, with the man being the defendant against charges of domestic battery, burglary, and felony. Latrice Johnson had described her brutal relationship with Torense as an abusive obsession in which she wanted to get out of. She had been dragged by her hair throughout their house and had nail marks on her hands and face. Torence then pleaded guilty and was held at a 150,000 dollar bond, Latrice was issued an order of protection against him and her siblings.…
