...will be describing what a court is and its purpose, as well as defining what the dual court system is. I will also describe the role that early codes, common law, and precedent played in the development of courts. Lastly, I will identify the role of the courts in criminal justice today. Court and its Purpose Merriam-Webster defines a court in three different ways, but they all seem to intertwine. The first definition is; “a formal legal meeting in which evidence about crimes, disagreements, etc., is presented to a judge and often a jury so that decisions can be made according to the law.” The second being, “a place where legal cases are heard.” The third definition states, “An official group of people (such as a judge and jury) who listen to evidence and make decisions about legal cases.” There are many different types of courts at the local, state, and federal level. Courts can hear both civil and criminal cases. The purpose of the court is to settle legal disputes whether civil or criminal, through a legal process, while protecting the rights and liberties of everyone involved, and to administer justice fairly. The court hears testimony from each side before rendering a verdict. Dual Court System The United States has what is called a dual court system. This system is what separates a state court from a federal court. “A dual court system is a legal organizational structure that supports two contemporaneous court systems: usually one at a local level, and...

...Selection Structure Paper Given the following task: Selection Structure Paper, Use the Part 1: Programming Solution Proposal you developed in Week Two and select one section of the proposal that requires a selection structure. Write a 2- to 3-page paper describing the purpose of that structure and write the pseudocode for that structure. Examine any iteration control structure. If the program you described in Week Two does not lend itself well to the inclusion of a selection structure, create a new example of a selection structure. Create a Visual Logic flowchart that parallels this pseudocode. Test the flowchart to make sure that it executes properly and produces correct results. Submit the paper and the Visual Logic file. Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. The process of selection is a way for the computer to interact with the user and to be able to understand how to make choices based on the user’s point of view or interest. Selection can be understood by computers by transforming such selections into algebraic equations, and from there into binary code which is the language that the computer understands, once the program is written, it will use a compilator, which acts as the translator between computer language and human language. The process of selection allows the user to choose what to do and then it gives options where to choose from, and it gives results which vary depending on the option selected by the user, when using the process of selection...

...Comparing and Contrasting the Code of Ethics Aquila' Mahdi Counseling 501 Liberty University February 26, 2012 Dr. S. Sadik Abstract This paper will attempt to examine the code of ethics from the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC). It will take a look at the differences and similarities shared between the two organizations, respectfully. It will examine confidentiality, dual roles and sexual intimacies. Comparing and Contrasting the Code of Ethics This paper will attempt to examine the code of ethics from the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC). It will take a look at the differences and similarities shared between the two organizations, respectfully. It will examine confidentiality, dual roles and sexual intimacies. Establishing trust between the client and therapist is crucial in developing a relationship within the therapeutic structure. In the role of counselor, it is imperative that confidential information shared by the client isn’t divulged outside of the confines of therapy unless the client has given the therapist permission to do so. The only exception in which a therapist can break the client-therapist confidentiality is within the context of the law. It is important for a therapist to discuss confidentiality and its limitations within the initial consult of therapy. When counseling a family or more than one person during a...

...highlighting the complexity. The literature reviews, illustrates and examines the following: 1. Describe a court and its purpose. 2. Define the dual court system. 3. Describe the role that legal codes, the common law, and precedent played in the development of courts. 4. Identify the role of courts in criminal justice today. A court is a forum designed to test, enforce and uphold the law in a fair and impartial manner. The courts purpose is to guard and uphold individual freedoms that all citizens have. Purposes and Responsibilities of Courts should never be confused with efficiency or even the constitutional means of the separation of powers, judicial independence, and the inherent powers of the courts. Courts exist to do justice, to guarantee liberty, to enhance social order, to resolve disputes, to maintain rule of law, to provide for equal protection, and to ensure due process of law. They exist so that the equality of individuals and the government is reality rather than empty rhetoric. (National Association for Court Management, 2013, Paragraph 5) Continuing the review of the court history and its purpose the dual court system is the separate but interrelated two court system of the United States, one for federal cases and the other for state cases. Within the branches of the dual court system the top level is the Supreme Court of the United States, followed by two levels. The first branch of the two lower levels of the...

...usually consist of one party suing one another for some type of monetary damages. The criminal courts alleged offenders that are suspected for crimes that they committed and which at times they end in freedom for the offender or and prison cell. The court system is judicial brunch of government which the defendants go before a judge and their peers and to defend their innocence of a crime that they committed. The major role of the court is to settle people’s disputes in a civilized manner. Our court system is divided into four major components which are to uphold the law, protect individuals, resolve disputes, and reinforce social norms. The Untied States court system is run by a dual court system. There are two types of systems that make up the dual court systems and they are the Federal and State. The dual court system refers to the fact that the US has a federal court system and forty separate state court systems. The state courts are bound by their own statutes and constitution, US statutes and Constitution, rulings and precedent from higher courts within the state and the ruling of the federal courts in their jurisdiction and by the US Supreme Court. The federal courts are bound by US statutes and constitution precedent and rulings from the appeals...

...Personal Values and Ethical Standards Paper Each person has different personal values and developed ethical standards. My personal values and ethics have shaped my life to be what it is today. Values refer to his or her own personal standards of what he or she believes to be right, or wrong. Ethics refers to a structure set of fundementals that provide a structure for what is considered to be the appropriate conduct in any groups. A "code of ethics" is the written document that represents the agreed upon principals for a particular group. I started gaining values from childhood as I watched those most closely related to me such as my father and step mother. As I grew older I gained values through outside resources such as school, church, or even from my surrounding neighbors I came in to contact within my day-to-day life. I was raised by parents who were old enough to be my grandparents and in the South there were social values and behaviors still considered to be “old fashioned.” I learn to treat a people with manners, automatic respect, and an attitude of strong work ethics. Some of my earliest memories were of how my father went to work five days a week and never missed a day that I can remember. I also recollect how my step mother taught me so many skills and values that she thought were important for a young lady to learn such as how to cook a home made meal, clean a house, and speak to others with manners. My stepmother always encouraged me to be willing to help those...

...it highlights the issue of boundary lines as a crucial aspect of effective and safe client-counsellor relationships. I run as a regular pastime with my local running club which is held on a mid week evening. My partner and I arrived at the club and bumbped into one of my clients, whom I had been counselling for two months. He had come to counselling as he had difficulty in forming personal relationships and was feeling lonely and depressed. The following day my client sent an email inviting my partner and I for dinner, suggesting we became friends. I considered the overlapping therapy and non-therapy contact to be problematic as it would involve entering a dual relationship with my client. Gabriel (2001) offers a definition which distinguishes between non-therapy and therapy contact by suggesting that a dual relationship occurs when: “a one-to-one contracted therapy relationship between an individual in the role of ‘client’ and one in the role of ‘therapist’ overlaps into a non-therapy context or role.” (p. ?). I identified a situation which became ethically challenging as I felt my client had crossed a boundary. “The boundary in counselling can be perceived as a limit line, with inherent fluidity and permeability, as well as safety and security. It is a limit line that requires the thoughtful actions of the boundary rider, the counsellor, to monitor and repair where...

...and its purpose has been a strong order of justice in the nation since the first time it was established. The system was designed to allow the citizens of the United States to receive a fair criminal trial regardless of social status, gender, race, and ethnic background. The system is composed by several different elements and processes that are at times very complicated. The best way to understand how the system works is to examine the structure and function of the different courts in America. This paper will describe a court and its purpose, define the dual court system and describe the role that early legal codes, the common law, and precedent played in the development of courts. In addition it will also identify the role of courts in criminal justice today. Over time, the court systems have established a sense of regularity or systematic procedures. The court system in the United States has a federal system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and smaller local units of government. The system has a dual system of federal and state courts that are independent of one another. Each state has its own system; the authority of a court to decide a case is called its jurisdiction. The Courts have jurisdiction only within geographical boundaries. This limits a particular city court to try cases that arise outside the city limits, on the same token, courts in one state rarely have jurisdiction over events happening or people living in other states...
