    Nadel Law Case Essay Example

    On a morning in early December 1993, plaintiff-appellant Paul Nadel was driving his son, plaintiff-appellant Christopher, and two younger daughters, Ashley and Brittany, to school.1 Paul's mother, plaintiff-appellant Evelyn Nadel, was seated next to the passenger window. Christopher was seated in the front seat between Evelyn and Paul, with one foot on the transmission hump and one foot on the passenger side of the hump. Brittany and Ashley were in the back seat. On the way, they ordered breakfast from the drive-through window of a Burger King restaurant owned and operated by defendant-appellee Emil, Inc. (“Emil”) under a franchise agreement with defendant-appellee Burger King Corporation (“BK”). Paul's order included several breakfast sandwiches and drinks and two cups of coffee. The cups of coffee were fitted with lids and served in a cardboard container designed to hold four cups, with the two cups placed on opposite diagonal corners. Emil's employee served the coffee through the car window to Paul, who passed it to Christopher, who handed it to Evelyn.…

A "Terry Stop" is a stop of a person by law enforcement officers based upon reasonable suspicion that a person may have been engaged in criminal activity, whereas an arrest requires probable cause that a suspect committed a criminal offense.…

    White V. Gibbs Case Study

    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…

    Courtroom Players

    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.…

    Example Of Court Observation

    When preparing for my court observation, I began wondering what could possibly effect a judge’s decision when it came down to deciding a sentence for a juvenile. After some brainstorming, I decided to observe factors that juveniles themselves displayed, and attempted to see if those factors influenced a judge’s decision. When originally starting my observations, I went in with five variables to look for which included the gender of the defendant, the defendants attire, the attitude in which they treated the courtroom work group, whether having family present could influence a judge’s decision, and finally how a defendants history effect their chances of being sentenced by the judge. The variables I choose seemed like that each could have an…

    Court Trial

    of a murder. The trial involved two types of vulnerable participants, children and persons for whom English was either not spoken or was a second language. The court trial, as well as the reporting of the crime to the police, were both affected by misunderstandings between the various parties, due to language and cultural differences. The complainant, (who was later arrested and charged with murdering his wife), a native from Yemen, did not have a strong command of English and was unable to convey to on duty police officers the issue he was reporting. The police were required to rely on the young son to interpret, which highlights the issue of vulnerable children…

    Court Observation

    The first court I decided to visit was at 393 University Av. on September 11th after my classes and got there on time for a court session at 12:00 pm. The security was very strict. They looked through my backpack and made me take everything out of my pockets. After the security check we started looking for courtrooms with trials going on and I discovered that not much was happening at that time. A very nice woman told me that there was an interesting case happening in room 702 so I headed down to the 7th floor from the 10th. In front of the courtroom there was a family waiting for the trial to begin. We engaged in a conversation which was very helpful because they were part of the trial and I got a lot of background information on the case before it began. The victim told me that she was hit by a car at a crosswalk on her way to school, and seven years later the case has finally begun. She explained that she doesn’t remember anything from the day of the incident and that she has long term health problems. When the attorneys arrived we all proceeded into the courtroom and I was surprised by the size of the room. The judge arrived shortly after into the small courtroom and we all stood up to honor him. Once the case was on its way, it was interesting the way the attorneys were addressing each other using the words “my friend”. The defense attorney seemed like he was trying to complicate things with technicality about the doctors that examined the victim and trying to hint that they weren’t qualified for the given situation. The judge disagreed, saying that the defense attorney is making matters more complicated then need be. The judge then addressed the witnesses to leave the courtroom and to not discuss any legal matters regarding the case. Following that, the jury arrived and was addressed by the judge, who was explaining the procedures on rules to follow by law. We were then dismissed by the judge from the court until 2:30pm for a lunch break. I was approached by…

    Court Observation

    The courts have the function of giving the public a chance to present themselves whether to prosecute or defend themselves if any disputes against them rises. It is known to everyone that a court is a place where disputes can be settled while using the right and proper procedures. The court is also the place where a just, fair and unbiased trial can be heard so that it would not cause any disadvantage to either of the party involved in the dispute. The parties are given a chance to represent themselves or to choose to have a legal representative ,which is mostly preferred by many. In the Session Court that I attended, the physical appearance of the court is similar to other courts. The judge sits in the centre and in the presence of everyone at the front. The Interpreter sits in front of the judge with the…
