Research Paper On Jeffrey Wertkin
The article I discovered is an interesting one because it’s discussing a story I’ve never heard of before and is a perfect example of how some people are willing to ruin their career for money. One could consider Jeffrey Wertkin to be a successful person since he possessed a Ph.D along with a law degree from Georgetown University, before working in the Justice Department for over half a decade. This eventually led to him having a partnership with a top law firm in Washington named Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld. For a lawyer, this was a dream come true before it all came crumbling down due to greediness on his behalf. He was charged with obstruction of justice and contempt of court after trying to sell a copy of a document that contained confidential

    Kerry F. Khan Case Analysis

    In a similar case Kerry F. Khan was a program manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that was charged with conspiracy, bribery, unlawful kickbacks, conspiracy to launder monetary instruments and criminal forfeiture. According to the U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen (2013), “Kerry Khan was the ringleader of the largest bribery and bid-rigging scheme in the history of federal contracting,” said U.S. Attorney Machen. “His corrupt network of public officials and private contractors looted the U.S. Treasury for years” (para. 8).

    Anton Dvorak Annotated Bibliography

    Due to this, the Americans anticipated Dvorak to help “pave the way” for an “American” musical style. Taking this change to heart, this initiated Dvorak’s “American” phase, which created his Ninth Symphony "From the New World," the String Quartet #12, the cantata The American Flag, and the String Quintet in Eb. His first performance was the premiere of Te Deum, produced in Carnegie Hall. Homesickness in Dvorak’s soul, however, collided with financial advantage and high artistic purpose. Taking summer vacations to the Czech-speaking community of Spill Ville, Iowa, helped a little, but his desire to return to Prague grew. Wishing to return home, Dvorak wrote almost as many works celebrating his native country as those that hymned the New World: for example, the Te Deum and the cello concerto; one of the best for the instrument. In addition to, Dvorak became more and more interested in streamlining classical forms. He had entered a so-called second nationalist phase during the 1880’s, in which Czech folk elements are fully absorbed and put into use of Dvorak’s formal experiments. As stated on www.classical.net, “The image of Dvořák as some spontaneously musical "holy fool" doesn't hold up in the presence of scores full of formal sophistication. The cello concerto, for example, provides a heroic part for the cellist without burying him in the orchestral…

    Wild Bill Hickok Research Paper

    Most people and newspaper reporters claimed that Sheriff James Butler Hickok, more commonly known as Wild Bill Hickok, tamed two of the most lawless cities in the Western United States, Albine and Hays City. However, this statement is inaccurate. In fact, Wild Bill Hickok was fired from the position of sheriff only three months after being hired in Albine. There are no records of him doing anything in Hays City. People and newspaper reporters in the 1800’s in the American West exaggerated the life and actions of James Butler Hickok and made his life into a tall tale. The legend started when James Butler Hickok was reported to be the cause of the death of three men in the McCandless Massacre. The legend grew after multiple newspapers reports…

    Jon Lebed

    The moral tone of the case study we were given to read, written by Michael Lewis, almost seemed to be a defense as to why what Jonathan had done should have been acceptable. Lewis seemed to portray Jonathan as just a kid doing what all financial analyst and stock gurus do daily, but since Jonathan was 15, and doing it well, then the Securities and Exchange Commission was “picking” on him. At times in the story their was a sense on emotional disarray, and no one wanting to be the blame or accept responsibility for the situation, especially between Jonathans, his mother, and father.…

    Barbara Byrd-Bennett's Great Expectations

    I enjoyed reading your post. Another classmate chose this story as well. I had not heard of it before I read her post. You had mentioned that these types of crimes “rarely only hurt one person, but that multiple people get caught in this web”, this organizational deviance/crime also hurt numerous students and teachers. Barbara Byrd-Bennett accepted money in exchange for contracts. These contracts could have been done for less money leaving the excess money to be used for things that would benefit the students as well as help teachers. One teacher commented that according to Abc7chicago.com (2015), “I’m outraged and appalled by the fact that I spent several years trying to get text books and resources for my 12th grade students to get…

    The Verdict

    With that short synopsis of the history of legal ethics, it was interesting to scrutinize the legal professional’s duty to ethical conduct in the movie, The Verdict, and argue whether or not justice was served in the end. At first there appears to be such an exaggerated depiction of appalling conduct that it borders on comical. The story revolves around Frank Galvin, depicted as a down-and-out lawyer who seems almost incapable of getting his life back on tract. The audience is pushed to feel sorry for him, although some may conclude that he is just an irresponsible, self-pitying loser. In any event, the ethical issues abound. The movie is set in Boston in the 1980’s, and begins with scenes of Attorney Galvin hounding mourners in funeral homes for potential cases, and with this harassing solicitation the audience begins to grasp the depressing moral values in question.…

    One would ask why someone with a high position, who is already earning vast amounts of cash or resources, would use backhanded tactics to maintain or advance their power. Unfortunately, the love of money or power have sent what seemed respectable people into corruption.

This crisis has been a continuing process since the beginning of man. One could say that it is so due to the greediness of human nature.
