Delivering this speech was a little difficult for me since I’m a little shy in front of a group of people. I was really nervous since this is the first time I actually deliver a speech to people I just met. I didn’t use nonverbal delivery skills such as hand gestures, panning and physical movement. I was able to give a little bit of eye contact to the audience while I was delivering my speech. But I should have given full eye contact.
If your surety has a criminal conviction, they probably cannot be a surety (unless the conviction is spent). It is a good idea for your surety to have met you a few times at least, so that she or he can explain to the Immigration Judge that she or he knows you well enough to make sure you keep in touch with the authorities. If they have not met you many times, the Judge may be happy with them if you have spoken many times on the telephone. Your sureties need to attend the bail hearing because the Immigration Judge will want to speak to them. Normally the Immigration Judge will not accept a surety who does not come to court.
Not all verdicts are simple cut and dry decisions and I am sure that there are many ideas tossed around during a deliberation, some of which may be more directive in terms of the amount of influence they command. B. Indicate where your initial views came from AND why you developed the (e.g., another class, life experience, etc.). My initial views came from things I have heard and seen in my lifetime with regard to how juries operate and derive their guilty or not guilty verdict. It seems as such to me since it isn’t necessarily just the factual evidence presented in a trial but also the make up of the jury, along with their thoughts and views that ultimately come together in the end to deliver that verdict.
This could be especially true in the case of researching court proceedings as it is unlikely many researchers have gone through one themselves. Recordings could also be tainted as researchers must rely on memory as notes cannot be made openly. However, this research method is arguably far more useful than just collecting statistical data. Covert observation has long been regarded as unethical. This is due to an absence of informed consent from participants, however Humphreys justified covert observation by suggesting it is the only way to study
Fidel was sentenced to fifteen years in prison, but was later set free because someone did a favor for his dad. After a little while of being able to escape from Cuba but unfortunately Fidel was the only one who become free. Even though they know that there could be a chance of getting caught or dying there willing to do whatever they have to do to get freedom. This reminds me of one of the documentary I watch about the musicians who didn’t leave Cuba because they feared they would get caught. While watching the documentary “Buena Vista Social Club” you notice a lot of things about these musicians who want to leave Cuba but never do.
If one has had the misfortune of facing a trial in court, one could still not know the positions of the major persons inside the courtroom, or the responsibility of each person. The courtroom has numerous participants’ bailiffs, the stenographer, court administrators, and the court reporter. Some can argue who is the most important person inside a courtroom is, the offender because without this person there would not be a trial, or the prosecution and defense there would not be legal representation for the state or the offender, the jurors, or last the judge. For the sake of argument, it is the judge. The judge sits in the front of the courtroom at one’s desk, which is known as the bench.
Memorandum To: From: Date: 10/29/12 Subject: Superior Court Memo For my superior court observation I went to the Snohomish County Superior in Everett, WA. This was the first time I had been to a courthouse my expectations were to see something like I see on television or in the movies, instead it was a very casual laid back environment. I wasn’t sure where to go so I approached the security guard working near the entrance and he told me there was only one case going on that day and it was in courtroom 2. While I had him there I asked him what his role was in the court house system. He told me his job was to ensure the safety of everyone in the courthouse and to do that they use metal detectors and X ray screening machines, and also conduct physical and visual searches of persons for weapons and any other unauthorized items to minimize the risk of attack on any courthouse occupants.
Each member has a significant role in the courtroom as far as the court goes, they all are important. The courtroom may appear unfamiliar for someone participating for the first time. * Court Administrator and Staff Court administrators and other staff are key players, but rarely seen carrying out a range of important duties. Administrators and staff generate statistics from reports issued by the court, such as the documents related to cases. Additionally, they supply administrative assistance for judges, communicate with the public, and at times schedule training for courtroom staff and judges (Meyer & Grant, 2003).
Summary I found this module on Counselling and the law very interesting and extremely challenging. I had no idea how important it is to know the relevance of the law within different situations that counsellors face daily. Before studying for this module I understood the importance of Data Protection and Confidentiality. I would also have had a little knowledge of the importance of reporting suspected child abuse. However I now realise it would be almost impossible to practise as a competent counsellor without have a good knowledge of the law.
The character Jamal reminds me of someone who is hard or tough. He has to deal with his mother not being able to look at him. He reminds her of his father who beat her and left the family. Another example of Jamal being tough is that his friends want him to do drug deals for him. After a while of holding drugs for his friends, he told his friends it wasn’t worth it and so he stopped.
