...Law Opinion Paper Introduction to Criminal Court System CJS/220 Instructor: XXXXXXXX Law Opinion Paper: The relationship between the common law and the legislature. The American common law system had originally been mirrored from medieval England, when criminals and civil laws were decided by judges based according to biblical prophecies as well as where they presided from. Now laws are created, enforced and micromanaged by three legislative branches of government. The reasoning for each branch having specific responsibilities is so that no one branch is able to corrupt the “checks and balances” system that was based according to the principals written in The United States Constitution and other important legal documents. The Legal System The United States government is overseen and governed by laws that were created by public officials. There are three branches of government: * The Legislative Branch of government (state or federal) enacts a group laws that are enacted by public officials. * Once the laws are enacted then they are enforced by The Executive Branch which controls the law enforcement agencies. * The Judicial Branch makes sure that those enacted laws serves a balanced purpose and are legally as well as ethically fair to all in serving their purpose. The American legal system today was conceived based from two major concepts that originally came from the medieval England’s common laws: Precedent and Codification...

[2] In particular, with regards to the children in conflict with the law, CRC obliges State Parties to undertake in giving protection to children in conflict with the law at every stage of the juvenile justice system, in line with the requirements of Articles 37 and 40 of the CRC in order to uphold the principle of the best interest of the child (Committee on the CRC, General Comment 10, 2007). [3] While the former obligates States Parties to uphold the leading principles for the use of deprivation of liberty, the procedural rights, treatment and conditions afforded to children in conflict with the law when deprived of liberty, the latter safeguards the legal rights of the children in conflict with the law by ensuring that they receive treatment and guarantees of fair trial which could afford protection on them (Committee on the CRC, General Comment 10, 2007).[4] This article seeks to analyze pertinent issues surrounding the juvenile justice system in Malaysia in particular, at the pre trial process.

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10354), informally known as the Reproductive Health Law or RH Bill, is a law in the Philippines, which guarantees universal access to methods on contraception, fertility control, sexual education, and maternal care. While there is general agreement about its provisions on maternal and child health, there is great debate on its mandate that the Philippine government and the private sector will fund and undertake widespread distribution of family planning devices such as condoms, birth control pills, and IUDs, as the government continues to disseminate information on their use through all health care centers. Passage of the legislation was controversial and highly divisive, with experts, academics, religious institutions, and major political figures declaring their support or opposition while it was pending in the legislature. Heated debates and rallies both supporting and opposing the RH Bill took place nationwide. The Supreme Court delayed implementation of the law in March 2013 in response to challenges. As of August 18 this delay was still in force "until further orders". REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE One of the most controversial issues confronting the Philippines today is about reproductive health. Many written materials and publications are available asserting about elements of reproductive health with different perspectives. Their ultimate goal is to...

...The Role and Functions of Law LAW/421 6/14/2015 Dr. William Anderson . My student smiled nervously over her order pad as she waited for my table to finish ordering. She was a nice young girl whom I had been teaching for a few months through a university that provided student visas to people who were pursuing studies in English-as-a-second-language. Part of the requirement, however, was that students only work for the school itself and not obtain jobs outside their academic institution. The next day she came into the class as usual and though I taught her the rest of the semester, we never discussed her secret work life. I knew better than to say anything. One year before (at a different job) an agent from Homeland Security had visited my office. The reason for the visit was that one of our F-1-Visa Students had failed to report to class to class for a month. I didn't have to see the nine-millimeter tucked under her jacket to know that our business had changed since the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 2001 The Law and Business: Commerce Powers In a more general way, the role of law in business can be greater appreciated when analyzing the Commerce Clause whose application is wide and profound both in intrastate and interstate commerce. Congress has broad powers to regulate business. These powers are derived from the Commerce Clause. The importance of these powers is so profound that even federal...

...I The Problem and Its Background Introduction Education is instrumental in harnessing man’s potentials and capacities to make him a productive and effective member of society; hence the total development of the individual is the ultimate aim of education. Thus, schools were established in all feasible areas to quench man’s quest for further knowledge and optimum development. In effect, awareness to the significant benefits of education directed the school towards offering different courses, specifically in the tertiary level. One of such education is Criminology, a highly intellectual field, especially because the majority of the job’s responsibilities rely on determining and analyzing criminal patterns. According to Agas (2008), criminology focused on the study of crime, the causes of crime, the meaning of crime in terms of law, and community reaction to crime. It also deals with the scientific study of criminals and criminal behavior. Criminologists attempt to build theories that explain why crimes occur and test those theories by observing behavior. This course focuses on such topics as criminal jurisprudence, criminal sociology, crime detection and investigation, drug education and vice control, law enforcement administration, correctional administration, industrial security management, probation, and juvenile delinquency. As such, criminology students shall pass all of the General Education and Professional subjects and undergo Comprehensive Review to be...

The author will explain and summarize University of California Regents vs. Bakke case summary, the court’s ruling, how the court’s ruling may possibly impact the organization and for businesses in general, legal precedence the ruling sets for most businesses, and the role the federal enforcement agency plays in ensuring the organization’s compliance to regulation standards. Case Summary The University of California at Davis developed and implemented a special admissions program to increase enrollment of “disadvantaged” applicants, which meant minority students. The number of minority students increased. The special admissions goal was to fill 16 of the 100 positions with “disadvantaged” applicants whom would be selected by a special admissions committee. Allan Bakke, a Caucasian male, was denied admission to the school twice. Bakke brought a suit against the university on the grounds of Civil Rights Act violation and reverse discrimination, alleging preferential treatment of one group (minority or female) over another group opposed to equal opportunity (Byars & Rue, 2008). Court’s ruling The Supreme Court ruled in a five-to-four decision in favor of Allan Bakke and deemed the schools admissions...

...Workplace and Employment Discrimination Issues in respect to Indigenous Australians Social indicators measuring wellbeing have shown that, as a group, indigenous Australians are the most vulnerable group of people who have the lowest economic status. The high unemployment rate is one of the main contributing factors to indigenous Australian’s poverty. In 1996, Australian indigenous unemployment rate was nearly 23 per cent in contrast to the non-indigenous rate of 9 per cent. Indigenous Australians suffer discrimination and face prejudices that are often perpetuated within Societies especially in the area of employment. In 1965 Australia signed the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD). In order to fulfill the requirements of the Convention the federal Parliament passed the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) (RDA) and the States have passed the RDA’s equivalent Acts to protect all culture groups and races from discrimination. However, in Queensland the RDA and Anti- Discrimination Act can not adequately protect the interest of indigenous people. In order to achieve true equality among all human races, special measures are needed to protect indigenous people from unfair discrimination. 184 words Part one: Anti- Discrimination Act of Queensland 1.1 Indirect discrimination Section 11 of the Act states indirect discrimination happens if a person imposes or proposes to impose, a term- a) With which an attribute...

...is unclear when exactly public schools were started, there are claims that they may have started as early as 1045 BC. What we do know is that each generation has passed on knowledge since the beginning of time. Public education as we know it today, has not always been this way. There was a time when only men went to school and women stayed home and learned how to clean house, make dinner, run errands and take care of the kids; however girls from wealthier families went to finishing school, as wealthier families had maids to do the housework and cooking. Finishing school was most commonly known in England. After the English came over to the new world they quickly setup schools, however it was still under the rule of England so still only boys were allowed in schools. Those of different skin color were not allowed in schools either. It was not until nineteen fifty-four that racial segregation was vetoed. After that boys of different skin color were allowed in schools. According to the United States Department of Labor, Amendment IX of 1972 Prohibition against discrimination; exceptions. No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. (para.1) That is when education started reforming closer to what we know as public education today. Today children start school generally around age five when they...

...the title, namely, girl-child and education. Then we will present and discuss the issues/factors in the girlchild education, citing examples from some African countries. Such issues include: access, equity, enrollment, retention/drop-out, and achievement in school subjects. Solutions of the constraints raised will be proffered. This conference is timely and apt. On Monday July 20, 2009, the President of Nigeria, President Musa Umaru Yar’Adua, GCFR, will flag off the National Campaign on access, while the Federal Minister of Education will launch the Roadmap for the Nigerian Education sector, which includes: Access and Equity Standards and Quality Assurance Technical and Vocational Education and Training, and Funding and Resource Utilization. In the course of this conference, we are going to discuss some of these and proffer recommendations which will be useful to the Federal Ministry of Education for effective implementation of the Minister’s roadmap. The Girl-Child The girl-child is a biological female offspring from birth to eighteen (18) years of age. This is the age before one becomes young adult. This period covers the crèche, nursery or early childhood (0 – 5 years), primary (6 – 12 years) and secondary school (12 – 18 years). During this period, the young child is totally under the care of the adult who may be her parents or guardians and older siblings. It is made up of infancy, childhood, early and late adolescence stages of development. During this period, the...

...Causes of Collapse 1. The Education Act of 1992 The Education Act of 1992 is often referred to as the main reason of the collapse of the pre-need industry. The Act deregulated the education industry and the 15% capped tuition fee increase was removed. As a result, educational institutions increased their tuition fees tremendously. Ten years after the Education Act of 1992 was enacted, the cost of a four year educational plan increased by 1200 percent. The yield on investments by the pre-need companies cannot cope up with the tuition fee increases. Consequently, pre-need companies incurred deficiency in their trust fund. 5. Independent Trustee Some of the pre-need companies' trustee were affiliates. Pacific Plans' trustee is RCBC, both are under the Yuchengco Group of Companies. CAP's trustee is Bank of Commerce, both have Sobrepeña affiliation. Ayala Plans trustee is BPI, both under Ayala Corporation, Philam Plans trsustee is Philam Savings. Cocolife trustee is UCPB; and First Union's trustee is Union Bank. There is a possibility that a collusion between these two related companies may occur. Excerpts from Congressional Planning and Budget Department House of Representatives: Collusion between pre-need companies and their affiliates could result in possible diversion of the trust fund into business ventures other than the intended investment specified by the SEC. In 2005, Senator Serge Osmena, during committee hearings, mentioned about CAP and PPI impropriety in handling...

...intentionally left blank An Introduction to Islamic Law The study of Islamic law can be a forbidding prospect for those entering the field for the first time. Wael Hallaq, a leading scholar and practitioner of Islamic law, guides students through the intricacies of the subject in this absorbing introduction. The first half of the book is devoted to a discussion of Islamic law in its pre-modern natural habitat. The author expounds on the roles of jurists, who reasoned about the law, and of judges and others who administered justice; on how different legal schools came to be established, and on how a moral law functioned in early Muslim society generally. The second part explains how the law was transformed and ultimately dismantled during the colonial period. As the author demonstrates, this rupture necessitated its reinvention in the twentiethcentury world of nation-states. In the final chapters, the author charts recent developments and the struggles of the Islamists to negotiate changes which have seen the law emerge as a primarily textual entity focused on fixed punishments and ritual requirements. The book, which includes a chronology, a glossary of key terms and lists for further reading, will be the first stop for those who wish to understand the fundamentals of Islamic law, its practices and its history. w a e l b . h a l l a q is James McGill Professor in Islamic Law in the Institute of Islamic Studies at McGill University.
