...Effective Communication Paper Tynesha Wilson CJA 304 June 10, 2013 Brian Geoghegan Effective Communication Paper People use languages to express ourselves, to get our points, messages, and/or ideas across, and to connect with whomever we are attempting to communicate with. Daily we work and communicate with people who have a variety of needs, values, opinions, or beliefs that are different from our own. How effective we are able to speak and communicate with others in regards to problem solving, the perspectives of others, as well as exchanging ideas depends on our ability to send messages (clearly) while hearing and understanding messages received from others. Effective verbal messages are messages that are organized and brief, free of jargon and/or slang, and creates no misunderstanding for the person listening. Productive problem solving involves words that are not accusatory, blaming, critical, or judgmental. In nonverbal messages, a person’s tone of voice and body language tells a lot about how a person feels and sometimes what they are thinking. Say for instance an officer asks a rape victim what she was wearing and how she acted around the accused suspect. His/or her ( the officers) tone of voice and body language could mean the difference between the victim speaking out against her assailant or her deciding to keep her mouth closed thereby letting the accused go free. Scorn and accusatory should never be a part of the way we speak to a victim no matter...

...Minnesota vs Ronald Riff PROSECUTION CASE SUMMARY 1. Defendant Ronald Riff left Red's Pleasure Palace, a gambling establishment on Devotion Avenue in Midtown, Minnesota, just after 12:00 A.M. the early morning of the alleged burglary. 2. Between 12:05 and 12:10 A.M. the defendant stopped at Rusty Fender's Body Shop at which time he stole a hammer. 3. Between 12:10 and 12:20 A.M. the defendant used the hammer to gain entry to Marquette's Market located on the corner of Main Street and First Street. Entry was gained by smashing the lock on the alley entrance of the store. The defendant obtained $910.00 (in a cloth money bag) from the cash register in the store. 4. At about 12:20 A.M. the defendant left the store by the rear exit at which time he discarded the stolen hammer in the side alley between Marquette's Market and Art Own's Hardware. 5. The defendant then began to run to his home and was seen by Soapy Waters (who saw the defendant drop $2.00 of the money) and Betty Biddy (who saw the defendant throw away the money bag). 6. The day after the alleged burglary the defendant used the stolen money to purchase a guitar at C. Sharp's Music City store. Included in the money he used for this purpose was a Canadian five dollar bill. (A bill identified by store owner Speedy Marquette as being in the store cash register the night before.) 7. Ronald Riff, the defendant, was arrested by Officer Schield at 3:30 P.M. the day after the alleged burglary. 8. The defendant...

...Minnesota v. Riff Sarah Clutter, Michelle Capps, Adrien Watkins, Brandie Scott, Marcia Matthews CJA/304 November 14, 2011 Timothy Sullivan Minnesota v. Riff The Minnesota v. Riff court case is complex and has different types of communication involved. In the case, both written and oral communications are presented. During this paper we will discuss the communication used for the prosecution, defense, witnesses, and the judge. We will also discuss the guidelines for each communication in the court case. The duties of the prosecution, defense, witnesses, and the judge are important to every trial. The prosecuting attorney communicates both orally and in writing. The main goal of this attorney is to prove that this defendant is undeniably guilty to the judge and jury. He does this by beginning orally with an opening statement, stating that Ronald Rift did knowingly commit the crime of Breaking and Entering (1) 2911.13 F5; and Burglary (1) 2911.12 F2; on 09/30/11 between 12:10 and 12:20 A.M. This was located at Marquette’s Market 1234 Main St. Midtown, Minnesota 44333. The owner is Speedy Marquette (owner of Marquette’s Market). It is up to the prosecution to share all written evidence with the defense attorney before the trial and to present all evidence against the defendant to the judge and jury. It is also up to this attorney to introduce the witnesses for the prosecution and to examine them orally before the cross examination of the defense attorney. The witnesses:...

...attorney, which can be anything from a warrant to a bail amount. A judge also listens to the oral statements during the case to ensure the case is handled proper and asks questions or controls the prosecution or defense when needed. A judge may also give instructions to the jury during the case, such as acknowledging a piece of evidence or dismissing one, or dismissing a statement that may contaminate the case and jury. The judge may also hold a person in contempt for acting out in a courtroom or delaying the case, the judge will also make opening and closing statements addressing all those in the courtroom. Defense The defense in this situation disputed that Mr. Riff gained the $910.00, from a poker game, the evening of the robbery. Mr. Riff had five eyewitnesses who allegedly seen Mr. Riff collect the cash at the poker...

They were spotted by Tom Hazelmyer and signed to Amphetamine Reptile Records, releasing their debut 7 inch single, "Born Annoying", later that year. AmRep released their first album, Strap it On, in 1990. Helmet was acclaimed as a "Thinking person's heavy metal band." Eschewing the traditional heavy metal image of long hair and black clothing, the band stood out with their preference for simple t-shirts, jeans, and sneakers, and short haircuts. Their music is characterized by repetitive, syncopated, staccato guitar riffs, often in distorted time signatures, and almost always in a minor key with drop-D or drop-C tuning. The guitar sound is heavily distorted and dissonant, with choruses that often involve guitar feedback waves. Before...

Mauro loves his pink lion. One Saturday afternoon last spring, he and his wife, Elisa, front-runners for the title of Minnesota's most glamorous Italian transplants, stumbled onto an eclectic sale in a parking lot on the outskirts of St. Paul. As soon as he saw the white stone statue of a regal lion, Mauro didn't hesitate forking over a few hundred bucks. He knew exactly what he wanted to do with it. "I painted it fluo [as in fluorescent] pink myself," he says. And he put it in his front yard for all to see. Mauro Porcini is the resident design guru at 3M, the materials-science conglomerate based in St. Paul. Throughout the company, he's simply known as Mauro--a renaissance man who's transcended his last name. Although most of his Midwestern colleagues pronounce it MORE-oh, it actually rhymes with WOW-whoa, which is also the typical reaction to the flamingo-colored sculpture that now resides across the street from the Oak Ridge Country Club. The club had been lion-free for 90 years until Mauro moved from Milan in 2010 to Hopkins, a...

This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. http://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr A PATTERN-ORIENTED APPROACH TO FAIR USE MICHAEL J. MADISON* ABSTRACT More than 150 years into development of the doctrineof "fairuse" in American copyright law, there is no end to legislative,judicial, and academic efforts to rationalizethe doctrine. Its codification in the 1976 CopyrightAct appearsto have contributedto its fragmentation, rather than to its coherence. As did much of copyright law, fair use originated as a judicially unacknowledged effort via the law to validate certain favored practicesand patterns.In the main, it has continued to be applied as such, though too often courts mask their implicit validation of these patterns in the now-conventional "caseby-case" application of the statutoryfair use "factors"to the defendant's use of the copyrighted work in question. A more explicit acknowledgment of the role of these patterns in fair use analysis would be consistent with fair use, copyright policy, and tradition. Importantly, such an acknowledgment would help to bridge the often difficult conceptual gap between fair use...

...elements of language. This fourth edition has been revised and updated with twenty new sections, covering new accounts of language origins, the key properties of language, text messaging, kinship terms and more than twenty new word etymologies. To increase student engagement with the text, Yule has also included more than fifty new tasks, including thirty involving data analysis, enabling students to apply what they have learned. The online study guide offers students further resources when working on the tasks, while encouraging lively and proactive learning. This is the most fundamental and easy-to-use introduction to the study of language. George Yule has taught Linguistics at the Universities of Edinburgh, Hawai’i, Louisiana State and Minnesota. He is the author of a number of books, including Discourse Analysis (with Gillian Brown, 1983) and Pragmatics (1996). “A genuinely introductory linguistics text, well suited for undergraduates who have little prior experience thinking descriptively about language. Yule’s crisp and thought-provoking presentation of key issues works well for a wide range of students.” Elise Morse-Gagne, Tougaloo College “The Study of Language is one of the most accessible and entertaining introductions to linguistics available. Newly updated with a wealth of material for practice and discussion, it will continue to inspire new generations of students.” Stephen Matthews, University of Hong Kong ‘Its strength is in providing a general...
