Ethical misconduct

/in /by

Ethical misconduct is one of the main reasons innocent people are charged, convicted, and then sent to prison. Complaints regarding prosecutors is that they will sometimes become overzealous and focus too heavily on their conviction rates, which can sometimes (intentionally and unintentionally) blind them from the truth. Judges will make mistakes while overseeing a case as well.

These mistakes can be simple honest ones or ones based on personal biases.

Defense attorneys commonly receive complaints that they are not communicating well enough with their clients or not fighting hard enough for them. Our entire legal system is burdened with large caseloads, and some attorneys just try to manage that crisis the best they can.

Explain your choices in this scenario by addressing the following: Discuss several examples of misconduct by both prosecutors and defense attorneys. Provide three ideas to reform unethical legal practices.

 

2. Explain some of the reasons why unethical practices occur in our legal system. Are there any circumstances under which unethical practices would be preferable to an ethical practice? What situations exist where ethics are muddy and unclear enough to make two opposing sides believe they are each behaving ethically? Give examples to support your arguments.

Review two Examples of judicial activism

/in /by

Review two examples of judicial activism—the famous cases of Brown v. Board of Education, which ended school segregation, and Roe v. Wade, which decriminalized abortion. Also, review two examples of judicial restraint—Bush v. Gore, which stopped a vote recount in Florida during the 2000 presidential election, and District of Columbia v. Heller, which struck down a ban on handguns.

You can find information about these cases using an Internet search engine or at the following link: http://www.findlaw.com/ Think about how these court decisions impact the law.

Post your answers to the following questions on the Discussion Board:

•How do these court decisions illustrate the role of courts in creating case law?

•What role should courts play in creating case law? With these cases as background, take a position that develops an argument for judicial restraint or a position that develops an argument for judicial activism.

How an emergency manager might address the vulnerability of low-income residents

/in /by

Discuss how an emergency manager might address the vulnerability of low-income residents living in a flood-prone area that has experienced significant property losses due to flooding over the past 25 years.

Vulnerability is often recognized as an individual’s, group’s, or community’s powerlessness, dependence, and reduced capacity to act in their own best interests. As such, emergency managers assess the vulnerability of community groups with special needs to specific events and draft plans to reduce or eliminate their vulnerability (Madigan, 2017, pp. 138-139).

Appointees have a Right to commissions

/in /by

You chose a very interesting case, up until your post I was not familiar with the case. It is even more interesting that it hinged on three issues. First, did Marbury and the other appointees have a right to commissions? The answer to this question was yes, the rights of the appointees had been violated by Jefferson when he blocked their commissions, which already had been confirmed and affixed with seals.

Second, if they did have a right that had been violated, did federal law provide a remedy?

The answer to this question was also yes, Marbury was entitled to sue and seek a legal remedy, and a federal judge could issue a writ ordering Jefferson to comply.

Finally, was an order from the U.S. Supreme Court the right remedy to solve the problem? This one was a bit more complicated and I will use a direct quote because I am unsure I can do the explanation justice. (Pun intended!)

The Introduction to the Royal Proclamation

Journal Four The introduction to the Royal Proclamation stated that it was ‘ just and reasonable, and essential to our Interest. and the Security of our Colonies that the several Nations or Tribes of Indians with whom We are connected, and who live under our Protection, should not beImolested or disturbed in the Possession of such Parts of our Dominion and Territories as, not having been ceded to our purchased by Us. are reserved to them or any of them as their Hunting Grounds.

What do you interpret as the general meaning of this passage? Consider these questions: a How might this passage be interpreted as stating British possession of the land to which it refers? o How might it be interpreted as affirming First Nations possession of the same land? 0 Which words or phrases give rise to this confusion?
