the supremes

For this Written Assignment you will be writing a 1-2-page paper using APA format, 12-point font and standard margins. You are REQUIRED to use a minimum of 2 (two) outside sources to support your points in your paper. Make sure you include a proper reference page.

 

Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the President and ratified by Congress. This process is very politically charged. Remember, a Supreme Court Justice is appointed for life and the cases and issue that get addressed are usually extremely important.

 

Should Supreme Court Justices be elected? How could this potentially impact issues decided by the Court (provide at least one specific example)? Should there be a process for removing a Justice from the Court?

What role does politics play in the appointment process and how should this be regulated if at all?

 

Select an issue that has been address or is likely to be addressed by the Supreme Court and discuss the criteria and the path required for that issue to make it to the Supreme Court. What issue do you think the Supreme Court needs to address? How does the make up of the Supreme Court influence the decision?

How could this potentially impact issues decided by the Court (provide at least one specific example)?

Discuss whether these doctrines are persuasive authority or binding authority.

“The Use of Precedent as Binding Authority” Please respond to the following:

  • Analyze the use of precedent as binding authority on lower courts. Discuss whether, in your opinion, such use is an effective way to ensure uniform application of the law to a case. Provide two (2) examples of the related use of precedent to support your rationale.
  • From the first e-Activity, examine both concepts of stare decisis and precedents, and distinguish between the two (2) concepts. Discuss whether these doctrines are persuasive authority or binding authority. Provide two (2) examples of the concepts in use to support your rationale.

Analyze the use of precedent as binding authority on lower courts. Discuss whether, in your opinion, such use is an effective way to ensure uniform application of the law to a case. Provide two (2) examples of the related use of precedent to support your rationale.

     The use of precedent as binding authority on lower courts means that the lower courts are bound to follow an applicable holding of a higher court in the same jurisdiction.  This is an existing law that lower courts are bound to follow.  A lower court may not rule against a binding precedent, even if the lower court feels that the precedent was unjust.  They can only hope that the higher court will reform the rule in question.  The use of “Stare Decisis“, meaning to stand by things decided, is important to follow so that the applicable rule of law used.  However, every case is different and unique and should be treated as so.  Personally, I am on the fence about how effective binding authority is.  I do agree with looking back at previous cases to see what was decided, but I do not think that we should rule solely by reason of precedent.  We should examine all the facts of the case and make a decision based off of what is presented and use precedent to further support our case.

Stare Decisis is a Latin term meaning, “to stand by things decided”.  This term is typically used in common law systems to express a notion that prior court decisions must be recognized as precedent.  Precedent is defined as an earlier event or action that is regarded as an example or guide to be considered in subsequent similar circumstances.  Binding authority entitles legal superiority over any conflicting state law or constitutional provision. An example of binding authority would be cases, statutes, regulations, and executive orders.  Persuasive authority is a source of law, such as related cases or legal encyclopedias, that the court consults in deciding a case, but do not need to apply in reaching its conclusion.  As an example, the interpretations of federal laws by the federal courts of appeals and district courts within the same jurisdictions, in situations where the state courts are interpreting federal law.  That is, if a state court is hearing a case in which a federal claim is a part of a larger state claim, the state court will generally consider itself bound by the decisions of the U.S. district court of that state and the corresponding federal court of appeal on the federal matter.

Describe the similarities and differences of these state court systems in terms of the process of handling caseloads.

“Structure and Hierarchy of Courts in the United States” Please respond to the following:

From the second e-Activity, determine whether or not the “Castle Doctrine” and “Stand Your Ground” doctrine are derived from common law doctrine. Specify at least two (2) instances in the legal system where the principles in question are valuable when it is applied. Provide at least two (2) specific examples of the method in which the principles are applied to support your rationale.

From the third e-Activity, compare the structure and hierarchy of courts in your state to those of a neighboring state. Describe the similarities and differences of these state court systems in terms of the process of handling caseloads. Provide two (2) examples of state court systems’ handling of caseloads to support your rationale.

Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground the person for using force unless it determine that there is probable cause that the force that was used was unlawful.For example of the Trayvon case.Zimmerman/Martin shooting that happened in Sanford, Florida in Spring 2012. Although that shooting happened in Florida, under laws that are specific to that state, Stand Your Ground and castle Doctrine laws are common everywhere. That means that the legal basics of how Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine laws work should be clearly understood by anyone who carries a firearm for self defense.

The hierarchy structure or format differs by state some more than others. For the most part in the tristate area appellate courts are where the laws are established. Whereas trial courts are where majority of civil and criminal cases are handled. I know NY having a different states to see the difference. I chose NJ, NY( tristate area) and NC Its interesting how some states trial court divisions has 2 or 3 departments and others have 6-7 departments. That definitely lets you know the workload of the states with fewer departments handle a variety of different issues within that division North Carolina General Court of Justice.

Explain the discrimination law you selected, its purpose and why you selected this law.
Report on the court case that you found, providing a summary of the case details as well as the legal outcome. (Be sure to cite your sources.)
