Wills And Estates

Posted on July 2, 2023 | by

Read Discussion & Respond to question below.

The living will is a relatively new doctrine and instrument in the English Common Law. The living will is a creation of necessity that came about due to the huge and unforeseeable medical advances that occurred in the 20th century due primarily to technological breakthroughs. Prior to this time, the common law allowed an individual to make her medical decisions only during such time as she was physically competent to do so. If and when such competency ended, the law imposed a strict protocol of persons to whom the duty of decision-making would fall. No allowances were made for what we now call advance directives.

Respond to Question Below:

Is this an improvement of the law or do living wills and advance directives create more problems than they solve? Please use a concrete example to support your argument.

Legal cases

Posted on July 2, 2023 | by

We all have at least cursory knowledge of some legal cases. Think of a case that has caught your attention and the impact it has had on you personally and/or your workplace or community, a case in the United States or North Carolina.

State the name of the case and write a short paragraph (around 100-150 words) summarizing the facts and the judge’s ruling, based on your memory of it, and how it has impacted you.

This might be a case you have personally been involved with (a divorce, real estate, small claims, traffic case, etc.) or one that has caught your attention because you heard about it on the news or saw a movie that referenced it, etc. If you cannot think of anything, google articles about recent Supreme Court decisions and write about one that you find interesting and how you think it may impact you, your work and/or your community.

Arbitration

Posted on July 2, 2023 | by

In arbitration, the parties to the dispute select an independent arbitrator who hears evidence from both parties and decides how the dispute should be resolved. In civil litigation, a judge or jury hears the evidence from both parties and decides how the dispute should be resolved. What are the differences between arbitration and civil litigation? Why is one approach better than the other approach to resolving disputes?

Effects On CJ System

Crime trends are formed from reports of crimes that have already occurred. Areas are mapped and marked with what time and what type of crime occurs over a specific period of time (a large database is used, a record that holds a full year of information is more accurate than just a few days, a week, or a month).
There is one fundamental problem with reported crime. The shortcoming in any analysis of crime is what criminologists call the dark figure of crime. The total amount of crime consists of the following two things:
The amount of crime reported to the police
Crimes not known to the police
Crimes not known to the police may happen because they were undiscovered, unreported, or not recorded properly by the law enforcement department. One aid to help with the dark figure of crime is self-reported victimization surveys; yet, they still do not pick up all of the unreported crime. Some surveys are sent to homes and only the head of the household fills it out, and this person may not know that a crime has been perpetrated on their spouse or child. Therefore, the notation of this crime happening will be overlooked. In a self-reported study, one may not consider the event a crime. These crimes will not be noted in any statistics. These are the dark figures of crime—crime that is happening, yet it is not reported.
Given what you now know about crime mapping, discuss the dark figure of crime again, answering the following questions:
Is there any way a local police department may gather information on crimes that were never reported?
How would the local department handle unreported crimes in a confidential and private manner?
Give suggestions on how this may be accomplished and if you think that it could be accomplished?
