9. Summarize the US and NY court systems. Typically, a state court system will include several levels, or tiers, of courts. As indicated in Exhibit 2–2, state courts may include (1) trial courts of limited jurisdiction, (2) trial courts of general jurisdiction, (3) appellate courts, and (4) the state’s highest court (often called the state supreme court). The highest level of the three-tiered model of the federal court system is the United States Supreme Court.
Both the State and federal United States court systems are divided into three tiers. Beginning with the state court system, the first tier is the Municipal, city, or regional courts. These trial courts (courts of "limited jurisdiction") are usually confined to civil suits involving relatively small amounts of money and to minor violations of the law. For instance, cases involving minor traffic violations are heard in these trial courts. The Second tier would be District, superior, or circuit courts.
The first calculation found was the probability of cases being appealed and reversed in the three different courts. The results for each of the three courts are displayed in Table 1. The first court, Common Pleas
Contrary to the District’s contention, the record also does not show that the Association indicated that it could not beat the savings under a subcontract. In support of its contention, the District submits that the Association’s chief negotiator (Mr. Kurtz) admitted to the District’s business administrator (Mr. Richards) that the Association could not meet the terms of the subcontract and that the Association did not request further negotiations after the District declared an impasse. According to Mr. Richards, however, Mr. Kurtz said, “Yes, the numbers, they’re showing a savings for the District” (N.T. 145), which is hardly an indication that the Association could not beat the savings under the subcontract. Mr. Richards also testified that Mr. Kurtz “didn’t feel that the Association could, in fact, come up with that type of savings, but the negotiations still had to move forward.” Id.
The proper citation for this case is Texas v Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989). [Good!] Johnson’s actions were protected under the 1st amendment. The decision held the statue did not uphold a goal of preventing breaches of peace. Therefore it was inconsistent with the First Amendment and was struck down.
(South Carolina Judicial Department ) The state of South Carolina also has a Court of Appeals. The Court can sit as three panels of judges or it can sit as a whole. The Court listens to arguments and motions in any county of the state of South Carolina. The Court of Appeals was created to hear appeals from The Circuit Court and Family Court. On September 1, 1983 The Court of Appeals, also known as the judicial system’s newest court began operation.
7. Choose three U.S. Supreme Court decisions that pertain to the right to court-appointed counsel for indigent defendants and explain the significance of each. 8. List and describe the three primary methods used in the United States to provide indigent defendants with attorneys. 9.
The federal court system has its basis in the United States Constitution. State court systems have their basis in state constitutions or statutory laws. The federal courts have primary jurisdiction on federal law questions, while state courts have primary jurisdiction on laws of each respective state. Most school actions involve nonfederal questions and are decided by state courts. However, in the last several decades, federal courts have litigated an increasing number of school cases.
‘The Separation of Powers, as usually understood, is not a concept to which the United Kingdom constitution adheres.' The political doctrine of the Separation of Powers can be traced back to Aristotle, who states: "There are three elements in each constitution ..first, the deliberative, which discusses everything of common importance; second the officials; and third, the judicial element." This highlights the three elementary functions that are required for the organisation of any state. Nowadays, they are defined as the legislature, the executive and the judiciary, and are carried out by Government. The legislature is the law-making body, and is comprised of the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
