Ethical leadership is the main concept for the discussion at any one time when there is need to focus on organizational ethics and social responsibility. In the contemporary society than earlier before the focus on social responsibilities of an organization has developed in all areas of business. This, therefore, calls for organizations to plan effectively for the social responsibilities to the community and all the stakeholders (Trevino & Nelson, 2014, p. 53). This calls for the development of organizational codes of conduct and mission statements stating how an organization plans to dispense their responsibilities to its stakeholders. Planning for ethics ...

In the 1972 Supreme Court case Furman v. Georgia, two of the most comprehensive arguments in opposition to the death penalty were made by Justices William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall. Brennan’s argument centered on three elements. First, simple because the death penalty was used from the birth of the nation to the present, did not mean that the nation could never abolish it (Tabak, 1991). A modern proof of Brennan’s argument here is that while the death penalty was historically a common punishment in societies across the world, today 140 countries have abolished the death penalty in ...

On a warm July 1984 night, an attacker broke into the apartment of Jennifer Thompson-Cannino, where the attacker sexually assaulted her. Later that same evening, the same attacker broke into another nearby apartment and sexually assaulted a second woman. At the time of the attack, Thompson-Cannino was 22 and attended college. She made a specific point to study the details of the attackers face so she could later accurately identify him to the police (Innocence Project). In August of 1984, Ronald Cotton was arrested for the rape of Thompson-Cannino. Thompson-Cannino had identified Cotton in a police photo lineup. In ...

A defendant is innocent until proven guilty. The structure of the legal system and process in the United States is to place the burden of proof on the government. The government carries this burden of proof as to every element of the crime the defendant is charged with. In order for a criminal defendant to be found guilty, the prosecution must establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (In re Winship, 1970, p. 361). The reason for this high burden of proof is to guard against government abuse. Were the government not bound by any constraints, the respective positions of ...

The Supreme Court case Kent v. United States, 383 U.S. 541 (1966) raised a number of important issues regarding the treatment of juveniles in the criminal justice system. The facts are as follows.

Identification Procedures Line Ups and Show Ups

Identification Procedures Line Ups and

Police lineups have been used for decades in criminal cases. The witnesses who seen the criminal can look at a line up and pick out the person he had seen when a crime was committed. This process has been used to help identify and charge an individual with a crime. A police lineup may involve real people or may be photographs of individuals. Usually, the lineups will have the person who committed the crime, and approximately five fill in people to choose from. There is a process that needs to be followed when police ...

Introduction

Concept of Due Process and Its Protection in Pre-Trial and Trial Stages of Criminal Procedure Hence, due process may be conceptualized as a legal procedure which courts and other authorities are obliged to comply with to ensure a “fundamental fairness” to a defendant (Del Carmen, 2014; JUSTIA US Law, n.d.). Moreover, due process embodies “substantive” and “procedural” due process. The latter type pertains to both civil and criminal proceedings which virtually differ dramatically, given the rights granted to defendants in both proceedings and their actual application (Del Carmen, 2014). Extending the subject matter regarding the difference between the application ...

One of the key essentials of a fair trial is availing legal representation to a defendant. This is embodied in the right to counsel. Basically, this right enables a defendant during proceedings to be aided by a lawyer at their own expense, or if unable to pay for one, at the state’s expense. The basis for this right is that a defendant may be greatly disadvantaged, especially in criminal proceedings, if they are deprived of legal representation. This right enables the defendant, through counsel, to take part actively in the pre-trial process and also the trial itself.

This right is so fundamental ...

- What is motivating you to leave your current position?

As an attorney, I always admired the difficult task of guiding companies to pursue aggressive policies in business while in full compliance with the regulations, laws, and standards of ethical conduct. When I came across the opportunity of ‘The Business Integrity Counsel and Regional Business Integrity Officer – North America’ at Mondelēz International, it is a lot more than just motivation that propels me leave the current position. It has been and is my dream job. I am excited by the prospect of helping Legal, Business Integrity, and Global ...

There are two types of offenses that an individual (i.e. a defendant) may be charged with. The first one is a civil case and the other one is a criminal case. Civil cases are charges that are based on allegations that an individual or an organization (i.e. corporation or a government-related entity) has failed to fulfill his legal duty leading to damages or lost opportunities. Criminal cases, on the other hand, are where an individual is charged with an indictment for serious forms ...

The guidelines surrounding the whole concept of interrogation were enunciated by the United States Supreme Court in the celebrated landmark decision case of Miranda v Arizona. Popularly referred to as the Miranda warnings, the police, who are arresting persons are required to abide by the guidelines enshrined there in when conducting interrogation. These guidelines are only applicable to the police in two circumstances. These circumstances include when a suspect is either under police custody or is in custodial interrogation. It is the latter circumstance that is of interest to us in this instance. Before proceeding to examine the ...

The United States of America has three cardinal branches of the criminal justice system. These include law enforcement agencies like the police, the courts system and the correctional system. Given that it is a democratic country, the United States’ criminal justice system is founded on the tenets of the rule of law. Therefore, all these three critical organs of the government must carry out their constitutional and statutory mandate within the confines of federal and state laws. Indeed, the criminal justice system is configured in a way that it enables both levels of government to function in an efficacious ...

Wesemann, Ed. (2012). Creating a Vision for your Firm. Of Counsel, 31(11), 15-16.

The current article “Creating a Vision for your Firm” by Wesemann, 2012 offers a critical analysis and insights on a wider array of issues that organizational personnel, especially leaders and managers should consider in order to enhance the success of their organizations. In fact, the article focusses on strategic planning as a means by which organizations can leverage their success across various contexts. Wesemann, 2012 asserts that “Strategic planning doesn’t have to be the arduous process that many firms (and consultants) make it out to be.” ...

The quote is intended to address the issue of representation in courts of justice. In the present period, there is laxity from the part of the government to provide pro bono services to citizens who cannot afford the services of a counsel. This means that such citizens go to trial without exactly understanding what is expected of them. This is unlike the past when the government recognized the right for every accused person to be represented by a qualified lawyer to ensure a fair process. This ceased to be the case.

Abstract

In Ross v. Moffitt (1974), it was held by the U.S. Supreme Court that the indigent criminal defendant is not entitled to the right of an appointed counsel at State’s cost as the indigent defendant is already entitled to the right of the appointed counsel at the courts below i.e., the trial court and first court of appeal where a counsel’s advise and presence is required at the various stages of trial and to point out to the Appellate court the errors committed by the court below. What is more important is the due process clause rather than ...

Question No. 1

The Crime control model poses the presumption that the criminal law is able to control crime without accounting for the fact (Roach, 1999). Under this model, the best way to control crime is by giving a fair treatment through adversarial criminal proceedings where the accused shall be represented by a defense attorney. Defense lawyers are not expected to invoke due process rights. In the crime control model, there are assumptions that fair treatment may be necessary for effective crime control and punishment may not be necessary to control crime. This model is attained by allowing the police and prosecutors as the ...

Facts: This case was filed by Ernesto Miranda and his 3 other co-defendants for failure of the investigating officers to warn them of their rights before conducting the custodial investigation. The defendants were charged for the crimes of rape, kidnapping and robbery. During the interrogation, the investigating officers failed to inform the Miranda of the legal consequences of the oral admissions made in the presence of the police officers (Burgan 25). Miranda claimed that the officers promised that they will drop the robbery charges if he will confess to the crime of rape. Miranda admitted that he had raped ...

Analysis of the Constitution

The U.S. Constitution enshrines both institutional powers and the Bill of Rights. As far as institutional powers in the constitution are concerned, I personally like the Congressional power contained in the Fourteenth Amendment (Amendment XIV) adopted on July 9, 1868 as a reaction to slave matters emanating from the American Civil War. This amendment addresses Americans’ right to citizenship and equal safeguard of the law. Just like the Bill of Rights, this amendment takes care of the wellbeing of the ordinary American by limiting the actions of the states and local officers, and the powers of those acting on behalf ...

Shura is regarded as a principle of good governance comparable to the Western notion of democracy with similar aspects and tending to move in similar direction. Indeed,the Shura principle is anchored in the Quran itself in which posits Shura as a principle of good governance rather than a system of governance. This departure is crucial when it is considered that the Quran essentially leaves it to successive governance regimes of the day in Muslim nations to continue to work towards achieving a more complete realization of the principle.

Shura as a principle is based on three key doctrines. These doctrines are that all ...

Mammon’s Speech Discussion

Book II of Paradise Lost features the counsel of fallen angels all summoned by Satan to agree on the further action to be taken. As Satan’s ultimate goal is to wipe Heaven out, he would not stop the war half way through, as the sweet moment of grasping limitless power seems to be just a few steps away. Therefore, he needs to persuade other devils to unite their efforts and attack Heaven with no hesitation, as this is the one and only chance for them to defeat God. To get the most of support from each devil, Satan pretends ...

- How does the passing of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act affect shareholders, directors, and officers of a corporation? Provide a specific example and support your answer with reference to the act.

Signed into law on the 30th day of July the year 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act mainly concerns itself with transparency and accountability in publicly traded organizations.

Legal self-representation in any legal matter without the assistance of a legal counsel is known as acting "Pro Se", which actually means "on one's own behalf". It may apply in the following scenarios: court proceedings, when creating a last will, filing a deed, handling one’s divorce and filing for bankruptcy (The Standard Legal Network).

Every individual is owed to legal rights that the state is mandated to honor. There has to be a balance between the law of the land and individual rights. The due process therefore protects the rights of individuals from the law of the land. The state is expected to follow the exact rule of law when handling individual suspects in order to avoid violating the due process. The bill of rights is incorporated into the due process meaning that persons cannot be dispossessed of their rights to life, liberty, and own property without following the due process.

In order to ...

Book Review: “Pointers to Insight” by Soko Morinaga Roshi

It was some time in 100 AD that Mahayana Buddhism of India began to enter China through the merchants that travelled the sea through the Silk Road towards the land of India (Andreasen 5). Three mainstreams began to take form (i.e., Ch’an Buddhism, Cheng-yen Buddhism, and Pure Land Buddhism), as it emphasized how human beings had had the ability to free themselves through meditation. By 500 AD, Ch’an Buddhism reached the shores of Japan, where it was called Zen Buddhism—using the word Zen to mean meditation (Andreasen 6). Thus, Buddhism in Japan became well developed by ...

Response to Post No. 1

Although negotiating is a very important aspect of a lawyer’s function in the same way that litigating, representing, and counseling are, I think that drafting of documents is the most important task that a lawyer does – if I were asked to make a choice. Although negotiating has become a common function of a lawyer in plea bargaining (Neubauer and Meinhold 134), which is becoming a trend in the United States criminal judicial system, most negotiations in this area are dominated by prosecutors and I would think all a defense counsel can do is either advise his client to accept or not to accept an offer from ...

Introduction and Background

There has been a lot of evidence that working on health benefit and environmentally friendly projects may have both healthy and economic advantages. In itself, such projects have a positive influence on physical and emotional well-being and health of individual’s. However, essentially the possibility is to have an impact on single representative health which entirely relies on the attributes of the environments that may be universities, industries or other areas. This impact is applied through a few distinct ways amongst individual’s/students: 1. The nature of the exertion as far as demand and control is concerned. 2. The impact ...

Designation: ______________________________________

Historical and Intellectual Background Cesare Beccaria Bonesana, one of the leading exponents of the social contract theory in criminology, outlined his philosophy in his treatise Dei delitti e dellepene which became symbolic of the Italian Enlightenment in the renaissance years that engulfed the European scene. His views on crime and punishment boasted of novel elements and were primarily centered on providing speedy justice with the penal measures being proportional to the delinquent act. Beccaria’s works were considered to be a protest against the law enforcement torture used to extract confession from the accused individuals. Beccaria’s views not ...

Professional negligence

Generally, professional negligence can be described as the adjudged failure of a professional individual to possess the average skill or knowledge of other professionals in like circumstances, or, the failure of the individual to use their skill and knowledge if they possess it. It is evidenced by the results of their activities (Slovenko, 2009). An obligation to compensate for the damaged caused should be done if negligence is proved. The terms ‘medical malpractice’ or simply ‘malpractice’ are embedded in both legal and medical literature and are also a habit of thought. Professional malpractice in psychology occurs when, in the context ...

The Patriotic Act first came into effect after the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. At the time, it seemed like a very good idea and many Americans were in support of the act as they viewed it as a plausible way of deterring future acts of terrorism. Most of the country was still in shock after the devastation caused by the terrorist attack and naturally, they rallied behind what they thought was an effective response to this major setback. It is clear that the people at that time ...

Is Social Work Just Common Sense?Name:Institutional Affiliation:

Often the unsung heroes of society, social workers are not often considered to be the top of professionalism. From the outside, it looks like a job that anybody off the streets can apply. Social work revolves around helping people; with common sense as your guide surely you will be able to complete all of your tasks correctly! This is an incorrect assumption, however. It takes many people by surprise to find out that social workers may need a BA or even and MA in order to compete for a job in social work. In fact, many did not know you needed a degree ...

Social work is often misinterpreted in mainstream society as a job that one can simply walk into, knowing the ins and outs. Social workers have a job to better communities and families, and to do so appears to be a matter of common sense. Many are surprised to find out an individual may need a University level degree in order to get a job as a social worker. Stranger still, many are surprised you need a degree at all. While it is true that much of what social workers do does involve common sense, they still have laws to abide by. There are still ethical codes ...

Brian Epstein brought into the Beatles band some essential skills of management which were significant in improving the band’s image in the public and the media. This was quite beneficial in enhancing the popularity of the rock band. However, Brian had no prior experience with the players in the music business which includes; the media and the entertainment industry. This would, therefore, give room for the media and individuals in the entertainment industry to take advantage of Brian’s situation and exploit the entire music band. As a result, it would be prudent for the band manager to undertake ...

Death penalty

The death penalty, or capital punishment as it is commonly known, is one of the issues that have raised controversy not only in the United States, but all over the globe. Undoubted, this subject remains a thorny issue in the world entirely. The United States remains one of the few countries in the world, where the capital punishment is still executed. Whereas some individuals are of the view that this kind of punishment is barbaric in nature and contravenes moral values, others argue that it is a crucial instrument and deterrent in dealing with intended and often violent murder (Berry, 2011). ...
