I went there by car with two of my classmates around twelve o’clock. As usual people were lining up before the security check in. We had to put all our bags on a conveyor belt to go to through the x-ray check, just like any other security check in. After the security check, we asked one of the security guards about the locations for the cases that we wanted to watch. We checked the schedule and decided to watch a murder case. The person who work at the information table saw us wandering around the schedule, she spotted us and know that we are student. She gave us the directions to the room that the cases would be held. She was really friendly in answering questions for the first time and giving us basic court room manner. All other cases was already started about an hour before, the...

...REPORT ON COURT ROOM OBSERVATION. This report is based on my observations carried out in two Courts in England and Wales precisely in Manchester. The report is in two parts, one on civil jurisdiction and the other one on criminal jurisdiction. This visit has afforded me the opportunity of witnessing “law in action” different from “law in books”. I have also been able to compare both the civil and criminal process and proceedings. The two courts I visited are both in Manchester. The Crown court I visited is situated in an old building commissioned years ago whereas the magistrate court is situated in an ultra modern building commissioned not too long ago. I have read books and journals enumerating the differences between the judges and magistrates. This court room observation has given me he on the sport assessment of the differences between the two courts and many other questions that I will be addressing in the course of this report… As we were advised, my first visit to the courts (Magistrate and Crown Courts) was to find out about the time and the cases. I discovered that youth cases and family are not opened to the public and at this point, I was able to decide on the dates to attend the courts and the types of cases to observe. “The Magistrates’ courts are purely the courts of first instance”. The Magistrates in England and Wales are lay men without the knowledge of law and they are also referred to as “Justices of the Peace” but they are assisted by a Justice’ clerk...

...My report on court room observation focuses on observations from two courts. The first one was the………………….The second one was the Crown Court …..Street in City Centre for criminal court observations. The Courts are held in order to resolve local disputes and maintain order in the society. Before attending, each court was contacted in order to find out the times and cases that could be attended as some cases such as youth cases are not open to the public. Firstly I attended to the……………….. The entrance of the building was imposing. After some guidance from the people there I attended to court 20 of the fifth floor which there was a civil case about a car incident. The layout of the courtroom was simple there was no raised layers except from the judge's. Also there was not defendant's box and no presence of police. The judge was a middle-aged, middle-class, white male. The public sat on the back of the court room. The case I have heard was about a car incidence, as I mentioned above. This case included a claim from the one party and a counter claim from the other. The claim was made because the defendant did not see the plaintiff car coming and try to evade. The counter claim was made by the defendant for personal injury as the defendant injured his leg and his lower back from the collision with the woman's car. But as I have seen in the court room the two claims examined simultaneously by the judge so as in order to save time. The legal way to examine a claim and a counter claim...

...spares the taxpayers money in EMS and hospital services. This policy addresses quality of care and access to care by providing addicts free access to evidence-based quality care and treatment for active addiction. And will make available access to MAT for the recovery phase of treatment. Looking at the data from the DHHS, the policy does seem to be achieving its intended results. New Hanover County had 844 opioid overdose emergency room visits in February of this year, up from 832 from last February. However, that is down significantly from July of last year when the policy went into...

...Assignment 3 The Court: 19th Judicial Circuit Court of Cole County MO Court Address: 301 E High St Jefferson City Mo 65101 Court Telephone: (573) 634-9150 Date of Court Visit: September 21, 2015 Name of Case: State of Missouri v. Steidley Subject of case: (retrial) 2nd degree arson I went to the Cole County Courthouse to observe a criminal jury trial that involved a retrial for second degree arson. I was able to be a part of the jury selection proceedings. I witnessed what kinds of questions that are asked of the potential jurors and to see how people respond or act when they are put on the spot about their personal beliefs about certain things. This was a very interesting proceeding for me as I have never been selected for jury duty and have only seen it on television. My first impression of the courtroom happened for me a little over a year ago when I was sitting in here for an issue with my juvenile son. I was scared to death then. This time I am much more relaxed, just knowing I am here to observe the proceedings about to take place and that there is nothing personal toward me. There is a kind of elegance to the decorations even though the temperature is very cold. There is a faux balcony painted to make the second story look more open. There are two sections of benches that are for spectators to sit in as well as friends and family or witnesses. The jury box is to the right of the doors and has twelve chairs for the selected jurors. In the middle of the room is a long wooden...

...altering two prescriptions for narcotics, a Shreve woman has denied the accusations and associated criminal charges. Jennifer Varnes, 40, of 327 N. Prospect St., pleaded not guilty last week in Holmes County Common Pleas Court to two counts each of illegal processing of drug documents and forgery. If convicted, Varnes faces up to five years in prison. The Millersburg Police Department launched an investigation after being contacted by a doctor from the Pomerene Hospital emergency room. The doctor indicated he treated Varnes in the emergency room on Aug. 18, at which time he prescribed her three Percocet pills, said Patrolman Jeff Lay. In reviewing Varnes' prescription history with the Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System, the doctor said he noticed that during an earlier visit he prescribed Varnes an unusually high number of Percocet in June, which prompted him to pull and compare the pharmaceutical records with the hospital notes, according to Lay....

...Smyth and Kaspiew The Australian Research Council funded Behrens, Smyth and Kaspiew (2008a, 2008b, 2009a, 2009b) to undertake a small-scale, retrospective, qualitative study involving in-depth interviews with 38 separated parents (27 fathers and 11 mothers) concerning their experiences of contested relocation proceedings in the Family Court of Australia (FCA), the Federal Magistrates Court or the Family Court of Western Australia between 2002 and mid-2005 (i.e. where the Court order had been made between 18 months and five years previously). The research team also planned to interview the children of these parents, but after only being able to recruit three children had to abandon this aspect of their study. The study aimed to specifically examine how parents (and children) perceived the impact on themselves and other family members of the decision; what had happened for the family members in the aftermath of the decision (for example, how had patterns of contact evolved in the period after the decision?); and what reflections on the process did parents have, and what advice would they have for other parents? Parents were recruited through the Courts (400 letters), with letters sent to solicitors 3 Our research team has been collaborating with this Sydney team to undertake a parallel project in New Zealand. 23 when they were...

...stop shopping experience. Variety is another advantage of the mall. There are specialty stores, such as candle stores, bath and beauty stores and music and video stores. These are the anchors of the mall, and the mall provides "odd stores" for those eccentric shoppers who are looking for different items. Finally, the mall is a wonderful entertainment center. Not only do people go there to shop, but they also got there for relaxation. There are movies sometimes as many as fifteen or sixteen. In addition, arcades are available for children, teens and adults. Some parents drop their children off at the arcade, give them a roll of quarters and pick them up after they have completed their shopping. For the hungry shopper there is a food court, which provides fast food for those shoppers who want to relax and possibly have a cocktail with their meal, other restaurants are available. The mall even offers concerts, outings and other events, especially during the holiday periods. As one can easily see, the mall is indeed, a great place to shop. Where one is looking for convenience...

...Supreme Court The Supreme Court sits as a UK court when taking on civil case as it listens to 70 cases a year, mostly civil, which include some cases from Northern Ireland and Scotland. The majority of the civil cases are linked with tax law. On rare occasions a case can leap-frog from high court to Supreme Court but if not then the majority of the appeals come from the court of appeal or Scottish Court of Session. Leave to appeal to the Supreme Court must be granted by the lower court; this is usually court of appeal or by two justices. Only cases that raise a point of law of general public will be heard here. The Supreme Court will also hear criminal cases as well as civil. Court Of Appeal Civil Division The civil division of the court of appeal mainly hears appeals that came from the high court but on occasion it will hear cases from multi-track actions that have come from county court. The court will occasionally get appeals about the amount of damages awarded e.g. libel cases. Most appeals will concern a question in law. Leave to appeal must be agreed to by the lower court or by the Court of Appeal itself. The court of appeal can uphold or reverse the lower court’s decision. Criminal Division This division is presided over by Lord...

...Sports and Recreation Management 1.) CHARACTERISTICS OF HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY • Intangibility Tourism products are services and, as such, they are largely intangible though with tangible, concrete elements. The importance of the abstract elements is such that we must make them tangible in order to apply marketing techniques to the services we provide. A direct consequence of intangibility is that the properties of tourism products cannot be transmitted, displayed or tested in advance. It is their use what is transmitted. This implies that the purchased product is unique and, in contrast to tangible products, tourism products are fundamentally experiences. Besides, intangibility implies that buyers are not sure about what they buy or about what they will get. This is why those who are planning to contract the services of a tourism package will look for information about it in advance in order to reduce uncertainty to the maximum. • Limited life-span Tourism products cannot be stored so, unless consumed when planned, they are waste. This affects hotel industry in such a way that we must choose between selling at the market’s pace and selling in advance (through agents). In fact, overbooking is a consequence of this limited life-span, an inherent feature of tourism services that we must try to counterbalance. • Aggregability A tourism product can be formed by aggregating various products, and this makes its commercialization and quality control more difficult...
