...Court Issues Analysis University of Phoenix David Hunt CJA/394 March 7, 2013 Timothy English Court Issues Analysis According to Muraskin and Roberts (2009), one strong current that emerged during the latter part of the twentieth century was the quest for personal safety, stability, and risk reduction in an otherwise unpredictably dangerous world. Crime prevention programs on a societal level tackle the social roots or social conditions that breed lawlessness. Victimization prevention strategies have much more modest goals: to reduce the odds of violence and theft faced by specific individuals, small groups, and communities. Commercial interests have discovered that crime victims constitute a significant group of consumers of goods and services that allegedly will help reduce the risks of being harmed physically, emotionally, or financially, and speed recovery. The market will surely expand for high-tech victimization prevention gadgetry and private security, protection management, and loss prevention services. Already, the ranks of police departments, sheriff’s departments, and other local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies are reinforced by a growing number of security consultants, private detectives, and personal bodyguards along with night watchmen, store detectives, hotel detectives, chauffeurs, even doormen. Antitheft devices already abound and will become even more commonplace. Alarm systems are being sold as standard equipment on vehicles, boats,...

...I. Introduction “Justiciability” issues are unique to the United States federal courts. These elements are threshold standards, failure to meet them will lead to dismissal. Therefore, it is crucial that potential parties are aware of the multitude of doctrines associated with justiciability concerns. Justiciability “roughly signifies that litigation is in a form appropriate for adjudication in federal court.” If a plaintiff fails to meet these standards they will not have their case heard in federal court. However, mere awareness is not enough to fully understand the nuances correlated with each doctrine. Additionally, a thorough study shows the necessity of a unified approach. An attorney in federal court must keep in mind that any justiciability analysis cannot take place in one specified doctrine. Instead, because of the Court’s treatment of the subject matter, all the doctrines must be considered. Issues of justiciability can blend together depending on the facts of the case and issue at hand....

This paper will include a discussion on the future management issues and trends regarding language interpretation services that can impact the court system as well as the court system process. There will be discussion on the past, present, and future impact that the victim rights laws have on court proceedings. Current Issues Facing Courts Today The current issues facing courts and court administrators today is the serious problem of backlog, delay, and congestion. This causes more problems in the court system because it seriously threatens the quality and dignity of justice due to the courts falling behind in their work and then them trying to speed up and process as many cases as possible. The court systems are not designed to do quality work while under stress, nor are they designed to work quickly through their cases. When the courts attempt to do their work quickly, mistakes of all sorts can occur in what is called the assembly-line justice. To begin with, prosecutors will start dropping cases for no apparent reason this is called nolle prosqui in addition to cases where the prosecutors may think the police have not obtained enough evidence to make a case (Court Issues...

Introduction The same-sex marriage movement deals with what is arguably a leading social issue in the United States today. In 1996, the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) legally fixed the definition of marriage to be that which includes one man and one woman, including the provision that “states need not recognize a marriage from another state if it is between persons of the same sex” (www.domawatch.org). Grassroots organizations began to form on both sides of the debate concerning same-sex marriage reform. Most discourse research on the issue focuses on the ways in which the media and reform oppositionists (DOMA defenders) use language to display and perpetuate their social and political...

It is an essential element of sound management for any organization. Over the course of about twenty years, strategic planning has become a fundamental component of court management in judicial systems throughout the United States and around the world” (Martin, 1992)...

...Court Issues Analysis CJA 394 August 06, 2012 Court Issues Analysis The court and court administrators are faced with numerous issues on a daily basis; everything from the crimes being committed, the language barriers, victims’ rights, and budget related issues just to name a few. The language barrier issue is one of the major challenges faced by the criminal justice system and administrators. The Administrative Office establishes the standards and guidelines for selecting and using interpreters in federal court proceedings (Interpreters Act 1978). Issues Courts and Administrators Face Perhaps the issues courts and administrators face in the courts today is the congestion, backlog, and delay in cases awaiting proceedings. This is a serious issue for courts and administrators in that due to the growing backlog cases may not receive the best of the justice system. Administrators may find themselves rushing through cases to get as many cases processed as possible. This can result in mistakes being made because the courts are not designed to function under such pressures and therefore errors occur in what is referred to as the assembly-line-justice (Stevens, 2004). Because of the stress prosecutors are under cases are dropped without a reason, this is known as nolle prosqui, according to The Free Dictionary it means "we shall no longer prosecute," which is a declaration made to the judge by a prosecutor in a criminal case (or by a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit) either...
