...Courtroom Workgroup Bobbi Knapp CJA/204 August 3, 2015 A. Michael DeFranco Courtroom Workgroup The courtroom work group entails courtroom personnel including the judge, the bailiff, the court reporter, the clerk of court, the local court administrator, prosecuting attorney, the defenses counsel and expert witnesses. This group of individuals have frequent an ongoing interactions on a daily basis. As each member of the courtroom workgroup fulfill the duties their profession expects, they are bonded by their unanimous singular goal; to see justice prevail. All workgroup members are influenced by other members and have influence on other members of the workgroup. Stable and familiar relationships among members of the group are more likely to lead to stable and familiar close working relationships. This is more likely to lead to fewer formalities, less formal arrangements and better negotiations. The prosecutor is an imperative member of the courtroom workgroup. The prosecutor, more commonly known as the district attorney, is responsible for presenting the state’s case against the defendant and with the considerable prosecutorial discretion the position affords, singularly decides to bring charges or not against an individual in the first place. Before a prosecutor can present the state’s case, they first must decide to formally charge the accused. The codes and standards that govern the position of prosecutor hold the upmost importance on seeking justice for victims...

...Courtroom Workgroup Rick Jordan Courtroom Workgroup According to research outside the chapters in our textbook Criminal Justice Today, what I have found surprised me. The majority of my research suggests that the courtroom workgroup is comprised of an informal arrangement between the prosecutor, defense attorney, and the judicial officer. The basis for this is to keep the judicial funnel flowing and to avoid a backlog of cases. Their goal it seems is to keep the cases from going to trial and reach a guilty plea. By means of a plea bargain, convincing the defendant that he would face a greater sentence if convicted, or by reducing the charges in hopes that the accused will plea out. Because the prosecutor may not be able to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. The courtroom workgroup according to our textbook has two separate entities. The professional courtroom participants and the nonprofessional participants. The professional courtroom participants consist of the Judge, prosecuting attorney, defense attorney, bailiff, clerk of the court, court reporter, and the expert witness. The judge holds the ultimate authority and is responsible for maintaining discipline in the courtroom. Also, hands down the punishment once a guilty verdict is rendered. The prosecuting attorney is the state’s attorney and is responsible for presenting the case for the state. The defense attorney is responsible for defending the accused, and to make sure his civil rights are not violated. The bailiff...

...There are several vulnerabilities that exist for any workgroup but the five I have chosen are a remote code execution, an elevation of privileges, an uninitialized memory corruption, a hacker could hijack an active OWA session, information disclosure vulnerability. Several of the vulnerabilities include privilege elevation. This is a very serious type of attack because if a person can elevate there privileges they could completely take over your system and do some serious damage. This particular attack is a remote code execution vulnerability which could allow an attacker to remotely take over your system. The vulnerability is caused by a memory corruption error while handling malformed strings in a Microsoft Office document. The attacker would create specially crafted MS Office files send them as email attachments, or they could host a web site and lure you into visiting by simply clicking on a link. Opening the email attachment could corrupt the system memory and allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code. The workaround for this attack is do not open or save files received from unknown sources or that come unexpectedly from trusted sources. The cure is to apply appropriate patches. The next attack is in Outlook Web Access and it could allow Elevation of Privileges. The attacker could hijack the OWA session and perform actions on behalf of the authenticated user without the user’s knowledge. This vulnerability affects Microsoft exchange server 2000, 2003, 2007 so Microsoft...

...WORKGROUP SALARY DISPERSION AND TURNOVER INTENTION IN CHINA: A CONTINGENT EXAMINATION OF INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AND THE DUAL DEPRIVATION PATH EXPLANATION W E I H E , L I - R O N G L O N G , A N D B Å R D K U VA A S The present study generalizes previous pay dispersion research to the Chinese context by examining the cross-level relationship between workgroup salary dispersion and employee turnover intention contingent on individual differences. Field survey data including annual objective salary and self-reported attitudes among 370 Chinese employees in 51 organizational workgroups supported our cultural predictions by showing that the relationship between workgroup salary dispersion and turnover intention was positive only among employees with higher rather than lower levels of Chinese traditionality and among those with lower rather than higher salary levels. Furthermore, the results of mediated moderation analyses suggest that a dual-deprivation path model can explain the above relationships. We discuss the theoretical, cultural, and practical implications of these findings for organizations. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Keywords: salary dispersion, Chinese traditionality, turnover intention Introduction E mployee turnover is a challenge for organizations and managers not only because of the decreased firm performance followed by the loss of talent, but also due to the expensive replacement cost associated with hiring, selecting, and training...

...U03a1 Worksheet Name: 1. When an employee wants to resign or transfer, you can try to persuade them to change their mind but you can’t refuse to accept their resignation or transfer. He should act carefully though if the employee has handed in their notice in controversial circumstances, eg after an argument. Henry the first thing you need to do is find out why. If the transfer is unexpected, find out why they want to transfer. Is there anything you can do to make them change their mind? Sometimes employees may request this because they fall out with someone, eg their manager. 2. Henry needs to know communication competency is the ability for someone who is communicating with another to reach their goals through interactive and appropriate interaction. Primarily it is a skill level that HR and those responsible for managing others must attain and possess. Having communication In order to achieve competency in communication, the communicator must meet six criteria: flexibility, involvement, management, empathy, effectiveness and appropriateness. Flexibility requires the communicator to be able to adapt to situations, so that it changes the behaviors of others in order to meet goals. Adaptability or flexibility may require the person who is communicating with others to be sensitive to both the goals itself and the people responsible for achieving the goals. For example, a supervisor may motivate workers by acknowledging the long hours the...

...This policy will apply to the workgroup unless and until the workgroup agrees to amend or replace it. CONTRIBUTION POLICY The primary purpose of this policy is to explain the expectations and obligations of student contribution to group/team assessment tasks. All students of the workgroup are encouraged to express their views and ideas in the class and show willingness to undertake a fair proportion of the required written/presentation work. In the case where a few students undertake work on behalf of the workgroup above and beyond the contribution required of the rest of the workgroup students, this policy allows for their contribution to receive additional marks. In the case where students of the group rely on others in their group to complete work on their behalf, and therefore do less work than other members, the lecturer may deduct marks from that individual student in the group. Each student of the workgroup is expected to contribute to the class in the following areas: • Attendance • Oral participation/presentation • Written work • Contribution to the workgroup activities The expectations for each of these elements and consequences for failure to meet these agreed standards are set out below: 1. Attendance 1.1. To maximise your success in presenting students are expected to attend every class. 1.2. If a student is unable to attend class due to circumstances of which they have prior notice then they must advise the workgroup/team or their lecturer of their...

...Executive summary Understanding, predicting or trying to inspire employees require that leaders and managers understand what motivates their employees. When we observe the way people work we will find that there is some factor which motivates them. This paper first defines what motivation is and also the definition of a workgroup. It then aims to highlight some of the motivational strategies which can be used in my workgroup to assist the group in attaining their goals and also, how those strategies can be maintained from the start to the end. The paper will continue to show how effective the motivational strategies work within my workgroup by making reference to the achievement motivation theory and the self-efficacy theory models and conclude to show that by using the right model, managers can get the most out of their employees, reduce employee turnover and limit employee dishonesty. 1. Introduction Motivating a work group to achieve a common goal can present a unique challenge, even for the most experienced leaders. That is due specifically to the fact that every individual respond to different motivation factors and hence, leaders will be faced with a group of people who all have varying needs and will need to be motivated in different ways. To get the work group to work on achieving their goals, special care should be taken when deciding on the motivational techniques used and the individual needs of the people who need to be motivated. This paper aims to discuss...

...Abstract /Project summary Problem statement – improper records management in the finance department . What is records management? Records management is a system to manage the creation, copying, distribution, filing, retrieval, storage and disposal of the records created or received in the course of business. Records are information in any media created or received in the course of business, regardless of location or physical form. They include not only paper and electronic files (including databases and e-mail) but also information stored in CDs, audio, video and data tapes, sound recordings, films, photographs, books, maps and many other media. Why is records management important? Records contain information that is a valuable resource and an important business asset. They are required as evidence of policies and activities of companies (to fulfil legal, tax and audit obligations) and for the day-to-day management of businesses. Effective records management enables efficient and systematic capture and retention of information contained within records, and therefore maximises their use as a business resource, while minimising the time, money and effort spent on their retrieval and storage. Records enable business organisations to: conduct their business in an orderly, efficient and accountable manner; deliver services in a consistent and fair manner; support and document policy formation and managerial decision making; provide consistency...

...Steve Rogers IT assistant 28/08 10:00 am Bruce Banners Support technician 29/08 10:00 am Computer workgroups need to be scalable. Scalability is the ease at which a network system can be expanded or upgraded should the need arise. As a rule, all computer workgroup networks should: • Support growth in the number of users for the foreseeable life of the technology • Allow for increase in data traffic and storage needs as the network grows • Be flexible to allow for the incorporation of new technologies as they emerge When new workgroups established, it is important to conduct and audit on the needs of the network users to find out what resources they need to access. This process will then inform your decision on that and with whom resources should be shared. In general, there are some basic areas and resources need to be shared. • Hardware peripherals ‐ Printers and scanners • Data ‐ Customer lists, Databases of sales information • Services ‐ Such as email • Other computers ‐ Both desktop and laptop computers • Personal digital assistants and smart phones Equipment requirement For a computer workgroup to be established, certain equipment must be used. As a rule, all workgroup networks should have computers that want to share resources on the network, along with: • Computers equipped with network cards ...

...Solving the Dilemma A Leader’s Guide to Managing Diversity Increasing workforce diversity has become an inevitable fact of organizational life, but it is still unclear whether this increasing diversity has a positive or negative effect on organizational performance. Leaders seeking to manage diversity effectively should consider research findings that suggest that when the tasks to be performed are complex, diverse workgroups produce more creative and innovative solutions and achieve better results than workgroups that are more homogeneous; for less complicated tasks, however, the complex dynamics of a highly diverse workgroup can actually hinder the work process and lower performance. T he first and foremost task of leaders is to successfully implement organizational strategies. In today’s business environment, one of the critical elements of achieving this goal is effectively managing an increasingly diverse workforce—teams of people of different races, cultures, religions, languages, and so on. Corporate strategists are increasingly viewing workforce diversity as something that can drive organizational value by sparking innovation and increasing competitiveness in an ever more global marketplace. Often overby David L. Dinwoodie looked, however, are the leadership challenges inherent in managing people who have vastly different backgrounds, traditions, motivations, and concerns. In facing these challenges, it is essential for leaders to consider that individuals draw...
