The Texas Veterans Commission has reviewed the Court’s request and in return they provided $1.5 million for legal aid and

Ray played with the Atlanta Falcons and helped the team set records that have yet to be broken.

"No court could be expected to respect itself to sit and hear such a trial. The defense of the poor in such cases is a duty which will at once be conceded as essential to the accused, to the court and to the public" (Ind. 1853).…

    Justice Scalia Case Analysis

    With the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February of 2016, the Supreme Court was shoved to the forefront of the political system. The deep division between the democratic president and the republican congress led to the Justice Scalia’s seat remaining empty, to the satisfaction of some and the consternation of others. The inability of the system to fill the vacant seat is further evidence of what many view as the debilitating polarization of the government. Much of the conflict regarding Supreme Court appointments has to do with life tenure for justices: until 1970, the average tenure of a justice was 14.9 years; since 1970, the average tenure skyrocketed to 26.1 years- a more than ten year increase. Because a Supreme Court Justice has a…

    performance based budgeting

    The budget remains the single most important issue facing the courts. Since the financial crisis of 2008, the budgets for the federal judiciary have been decreased roughly 8 percent, i.e. $555 million from $7 billion a year. The judiciary reduced its overall workforce through layoffs by 5,400 court staff, which is roughly one quarter of its total workforce. Unfortunately, the organization has to follow the budgets. Budget cuts are gradually harming court system and significantly court staff would be further reduced, civil and criminal cases would be delayed, and these consequences would lead to a threat to public safety (Roberts, 2013, p.1). The purpose of this memorandum is to expand the result of budget cuts in the supreme civil court and how it has become increasingly dysfunctional.…
