On June 10th‚ I had the opportunity to go to the SF Immigration court on Montgomery Street with a few of my colleagues.

Everyone trying to enter the court had to go through a general security check where they walk through a metal detector machine and have their bags go through the x-ray machine. Before we went

Court Observation Report 1. Introduction In the Australian legal justice system‚ with the increasing demand to expand summary jurisdiction‚ there has been a controversial issue as to which process is more appropriate to deliver justice to public as well as litigants; efficiency process or due process.

Tuesday‚ I observed several preliminary hearings in Magistrate Court. Diana who is an Administrative Assistant interpreted during a case involving an individual who did not speak English. Generally‚ if a client is a Spanish speaker‚ she accompanies the Attorney to court to interpret.

Most of the defendants appeared before the court to request more time to pay the fines associated with the tickets.

The first person to claim not guilty was charged with speeding
