We will talk of pretrial detention and the concept of bail. We will also on the meaning of preliminary examinations, the role of the grand jury and the prosecutor’s duty to disclose exculpatory information. The last thing we will discuss is the prosecutorial misconduct. “Pretrial detention refers to detaining of an accused person in a criminal case before the trial has taken place, either because of a failure to post bail or due to denial of release under a pre-trial detention statute.” ("Http://definitions.uslegal.com”,). When you are in pretrial detention is also a possibility that you could be a flight risk and will be denied bail. It depends on the severity of the bail most people don’t have the funds to post bail. They would have to wait until trial start and find a bail bondsman to get a release. “Bail property or money given as surety that a person released from custody will return at an appointed time. The person who agrees to be liable if someone released from custody does not return at an appointed time.” ("Thefreedictionary.com",). It can work in many ways.

...Hypertension complicates up to 15% of pregnancies, with pre-eclampsia affecting 2–3%. Pre-eclampsia is defined as a multisystem disorder characterised by raised blood pressure and proteinuria. Pre-eclampsia is a condition in pregnancy involving high blood pressure and protein in the urine. Most women with mild pre-eclampsia give birth without problems. However, severe pre-eclampsia can cause major problems with the functioning of the liver, kidneys and blood clotting. These symptoms are late manifestations of a disease process that is initiated in early pregnancy and is the major cause of maternal mortality and morbidity (MORLEY 2004) The purpose of this literature review is to critically analyse the research available for the use of aspirin in the prevention of pre-eclampsia. However it was difficult to find the relevant articles that related to only the use of aspirin and not a combination of aspirin and other hypertension reducing medication. Also a lot of evidence pointed to the administration of magnesium sulphate based medication working in combination with aspirin or aspirin use in IVF conception methods. The search for relevant articles began with a search in Pub Med .Using the words, “Pre- eclampsia AND aspirin”, gave 494 results. Limitations were then applied to narrow the search. Firstly the search was narrowed to relevant article published in the last 5 years which reduced the finding to 88. Then only relevant articles in relation to the human’s species were applied...

I have chosen to discuss a case that is discussed in our text, Business Law 16th edition. The Case I will be discussing will be Hagan v. Coca-Cola Bottling Co. This case is about two sisters, Linda Hagan and Barbara Parker, who drank from a bottle of Coke which they both agreed tasted flat. After observing the bottle in the light both women observed what appeared to them to be a used condom with a “oozy sticky stuff coming out of the top” (Mallor, Barnes, Bowers, Lanvardy, 2014). After being sent to Coca-Cola for testing it was determined that the object was mold and not a used condom. Before the findings the medical personnel at the Coca-Cola facility told the ladies they should be tested for HIV. Those tests came back negative for both of the women. Hagan and Parker brought a negligence action again Coca-Cola and at the conclusion of the trial were awarded $75,000 each by the jury. However, the trial court reduced the jury award to $25, 000 a decision that both sides appealed.

...State of Confusion Paper State of Confusion Paper The state of Confusion has over stepped its authority when it passed a law regulating trailer hitches on its roads. This regulation is in direct conflict with the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution, Article 1 Section 8. This gives Tanya only one option in choosing a court to fight the unjust regulation. She must take her case to the federal court. This gives Tanya the best chance at overturning the state of Confusion’s regulation on trailer hitches. The Supremacy Clause also gives Tanya a chance to fight the states regulations. The supremacy clause states that all state judges must follow federal law when federal and state laws conflict. Using both of these clauses to fight the state of confusions’ regulations, Tanya has enough ammunition. The Federal District Court system will have jurisdiction over all matters arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States. Regulations can be tricky when deciding constitutionality in the federal court system. Taxations are generally accepted when passed by state legislators. Under the Constitution, regulations that impact interstate commerce and pose a direct burden are deemed impermissible. Tanya can sue in the federal courts in the state of confusion for a declaratory judgment that the states regulations violate the commerce clause and are invalid because of the undue burden on interstate commerce the regulations impose. There are a few cases that the district...

The written response that the defendant files with the court is known as an answer. Again, the court clerk will collect a required fee for the filing of the answer. The defendant may, at the same time, file a counterclaim as part of his or her answer. The counterclaim states the relief that the defendant feels he or she may be entitled to from the plaintiff. The plaintiff then has ten days to file an answer to the defendant's counterclaim. If either party fails to comply with the time limits, the other side may ask the court to rule in his or her favor by default. Default is entered when a party does not appear or file papers, and the judge may enter a decision or judgment to be collected as any other decision. It should be noted that most time limits may be extended by agreement (stipulation) of the parties by an order of the court....

...The State of Confusion BUS/415 April 2, 2012 The State of Confusion Paper The State of Confusion has enacted a statute that will require all trucks and towing trailers using its highways to use a B-type truck hitch. Tanya Trucker, owns a company in the State of Denial, does not see the new statute in the State of Confusion as fair to her business or any other foreign business. The paper will review how Tanya Trucker can suit the State of Confusion, by following all the constitutional laws in the right court, and the litigation process she must follow to suit. The Federal Court will have jurisdiction over this case because Tanya Trucker leaves in the State of Denial, and her suit will be against the State of Confusion. Cheeseman (2010) stated “A case may be brought in federal court if there is diversity of citizenship” (p. 41). Because this case will have a federal question because Tanya Trucker could file her lawsuit against the State of Confusion for violating the commerce clause under the U.S. Constitution. Cheeseman (2010) stated “The Commerce Clause gives the federal government the authority to regulate the interstate commerce.” The U.S. Supreme Court has handled numerous case, but one particular case is the Southern Pacific Co. v.

...Legal Process Paper According to Bennett-Alexander and Hartman (2007), many forms of discrimination exist and different agencies can impose multiple penalties for noncompliance. In this paper, an employee named John wants to file a discrimination complaint against his employer. The following key elements will be discussed: (1) description of what is discrimination, (2) Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) process, (3) civil litigation process, and (4) court appearance. A summary and conclusion will finalize the paper. What is Discrimination According to the EEOC (2011), reprisals or disciplinary actions against employees based on color, race, age, religion, disability, sex or political affiliation is considered a form of discrimination. Discrimination can apply to retaliation for filing a charge of discrimination and can be associated to the hiring of employees.

...Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution The focus of this paper is to compare and contrast the traditional and nontraditional litigation system in the form of ADR. Litigation is the traditional approach to resolving disputes in civil matters. Today, many businesses or organization are realizing that the costs of the litigation have become the major problems. To defend a lawsuit can create hundreds or thousands of dollars in legal costs even when the lawsuit is already dismissed. However, ADR is a cost-effective substitute to traditional litigation system, which is afflicted by delays and high costs. Currently, many organizations are now realizing significant decrease in legal costs through the use of ADR tools instead of traditional litigation system. With litigation, an injured party files suit against a party alleged to have caused the injury. The litigation process follows the formal rules of civil procedure in the jurisdiction that affect the methods of gathering and producing evidence. If the parties do not arrive at a settlement, a judge will decide the matter following a trial. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provides an alternative to litigation, and involves negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. The parties may negotiate directly to reach a settlement or may use mediation in which the parties agree to meet with a mediator who facilitates the negotiation. The mediator has no power to impose a settlement on the parties. With arbitration, the arbitrator...
