The tutorial discussion this week was essentially discussing how the system operates and some of the flaws within the system such as false convictions which come about through human error or in extreme cases racial bias (Alberto F.

He or she is responsible for ensuring the court proceedings are legal, and that the defendant receives his or her rights to due process of law. The judge does this by setting the rules of the courtroom and acting as a referee between opposing council. Although a judges’ most visible role is during a criminal or civil trial, he or she has many responsibilities. Prior to any court hearing, the judge is responsible for signing search and arrest warrants. Judges also deal with the issue of bail once established that there is enough evidence to hold a criminal trial against the defendant during the preliminary hearing.

The American people have now realized their powers and they have given opinions on the cases concerned with the constitutional laws and public rights. The court too has valued the public’s opinion and hence the power of public decisions has shown that the supreme power is the public and they are the deciders as they are aware to decide right or wrong. Decisions can be located at points along a continuum from structured to unstructured. Unstructured decisions requires managerial judgement and consideration of unquantifiable factors. They may also require consideration of qualitative factors, ethical judgement or simply personal taste.
