Judicial Review is the power of a court to determine the constitutionality of a governmental action. In easier terms, this advantage gives the Judicial Branch the opportunity to prove ANY law unconstitutional, and choose which laws can pass or fail. Just recently in 1998, the Supreme Courts determined that the line-item veto is unconstitutional, ruling that Congress did not have the authority to hand power to the president. This checked the Executive power and left the former president, Clinton, knowing that once a bill becomes a law, his sole power is to carry it out. One of the main benefits to the Judicial Branch is the power to interpret laws.
1. Essay Read the following quotation: The constitution is work of many interpretations. The legal system have their interpretation, and so does scholars and the general public. However, the true meaning of the Constitution seems to get lost in the mix of other people’s understanding of it, “The emphasis on historical and theoretical precision sometimes leads us to forget that the Constitution was the work of statesmen and politicians, not philosophers and theorists." (Ivers.

This led to disputes amongst the states that could not be readily settled, as it relied on each state’s court system which invariably chose to discount the ruling of the other states. The Constitution, under article III section I, allowed for a central court system, including one Supreme Court and a system of lower courts. This would alleviate the dissention in the AoC court system and allow for cases to be heard and decided based on a central system of
Secondary the outdated and archaic language makes it difficult to interpret through all the complex case law. In Ireland and Burstow, Lord Steyn said psychological illnesses were not even thought of by the Victorian legislator when creating the act. Furthermore the courts have had to make very wide interpretations of words in order to fit modern issues such as stalking in Constanza. One possible reform on this issue was set out in a 1993 Law Commission report on the OAP Act in which the language was totally altered to suite modern understandings. The word injury is used and defined in the proposed bill, making it clear it includes physical as well as mental injury.
1. Professionalism… “I hate lawyers. I just work for ‘em.” Because of the general public’s unfamiliarity with the role of a paralegal, legal professionals must take pains to disclose the paralegal’s status. The ABA Model Guidelines for the Utilization of Legal Assistant Services (“Model Guides”), Canon Five of the NALA Code of Ethical and Professional Responsibility (“NALA Code”), and NFPA Model Code of Ethical and Professional Responsibility §1.7 (“NFPA Model Code”) urge the prompt and full-disclosure of the paralegal’s status at the outset of any professional relationship to avoid misunderstanding and misconceptions of the paralegal’s role and responsibilities. Certainly, Ms. Brockovich does this, immediately in her first meeting with Donna Jenson; when Mrs. Jensen asks, “You're a lawyer?” Erin immediately replies, “NO, no...
Have the Woolf reforms actually changed the landscape of civil justice as supporters have predicted? “The key problems facing civil justice today are cost, delay and complexity. These three are interrelated and stem from the uncontrolled nature of the litigation process. In particular there is no clear judicial responsibility for managing individual cases or for the overall administration of the civil courts.” – Lord Woolf in the Access to Justice Interim Report. In March 1994, Lord Woolf, was appointed by the Lord Chancellor of the then government to review the civil justice system in England and Wales with a view to improving access to justice.

Thesis: Many times in history we see history from one point of view. It is extremely important to see history from both sides since most of the time “ History is written by the victors” and omits the truth of what really happened. Many times horrible deeds are justified and we ignore them since we see these deeds as necessary and justified from only one point of view. Arguments: 1.)

Woodrow Wilson’s journey to separate administration from politics came from his influential essay that was published in 1877. This endeavor not only gave incentive to the movement to develop an American science of administration, but also laid down critical assumptions that have been the key focus of dispute among the science practitioners in recent years. To understand the issues raised in public administration it requires an understanding of Wilson’s stance. Wilson’s political administration dichotomy states that the idea of administrative decisions needs to be made without the influence of politics. Wilson’s central concern was that administration of policy should be separate and distinct from politics.
