Class what is jurisprudence? Please review chapter 1 and post your understanding of jurisprudence. 

Hello Class before we get started with our class discussion I would like to know if anyone has had any prior studies or work experience in a legal, court, or law enforcement setting? 

 

Class chapter 1 of our text state that the law is a body of rules of action or conduct prescribed by controlling authority, and having legal binding force that create duties, obligations and rights as well as a mechanism to resolve disputes arising from those duties and rights. In addition the law that we now have in the United States is a blend of new law made in the United States and old law from other countries. Can anyone name at least one country where some of our current law originated? Based on your knowledge do you know of any law or principle of law that is reflective of that country?

 

Chapter 2 of our text states that the United States uses a federal system in which a national government coexists with the government of each state. What does this mean?

Can you think of any recent circumstances in which the federal government and the state government does not seem to see things as the same. In situations where there is conflict between the federal and the state who wins?

 

Hello Class in light of the two most recent Supreme Court rulings (Gay Marriage and Obamacare) how does these rulings fit into the Supreme Court’s function in our government. How does the rulings affect everyone in each state?  Please note that I am not asking you to discuss your opinion or agreement/disagreements with the rulings. 

 

Class the United States uses a federal system in which a national government, having limited regulatory powers granted by the Constitution, coexists with the government of each state. Based on chapter 2 of our text what is the main function our Constitution? What do you think is the most significant amendment to the Constitution (in your opinion)? 

 

I recently had a great trip to DC to share the monuments and the history with my daughter. While I was there I was very immersed in the experience of the federal government and the awesome history that occurred to create the government that we have today. What is the significance of the three main sections of the U.S. Constitution? Has anyone recently traveled to DC?

 

What is the composition of the state courts? What the main role of the state court? Karen a resident of Georgia is involved in a traffic accident with another resident of Georgia in downtown Atlanta, GA. Karen’s car is completely damaged and she is suffering from whiplash. She now needs to sue the other driver to recover a monetary judgment to obtain a new car and pay her medical bills. Please tell everyone which court (State/Federal) should Karen file her case.

 

Class as you already know in the United States we have a judiciary i.e.,” court system.” The court system is in place so our society has a forum to resolve disputes and prosecute crimes. Based on our class materials please explain the composition of the judiciary. How is it comprised? Is there any other purpose of the judiciary, other than the ones that I stated earlier, that you can think of.

eithic law and healthcare

/in /by

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted in 1996 to protect health insurance coverage, reduce healthcare fraud, and mandate industry standards for the protection of health information and electronic management of that information. These standards are typically represented in organizations’ privacy and security policies. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provides details for understanding HIPAA.

Read the following scenario:

You have registered as a patient at the Norwalk Walk-In Clinic. You observe the following:

The registration sheet, which you signed, lists all of the names of the people who have registered that day. It is left on the counter of the registration table. Once you have signed in, you are immediately asked to sit down in the reception area, and no other paperwork is presented to you. As you are sitting there, a public relations staff member takes a photo of the clinic area.

When the physician is ready to see you, your name is called out to the reception area. After the nurse takes your vital signs, she writes it down in your medical chart. The chart is reviewed by the physician. The physician in your case is not an employee of the walk-in clinic.

The physician recommends that you see a specialist at Norwalk Hospital. The physician talks to the specialist about your condition over the phone. Your file is transcribed and sent to the director of medical records. The treatment that you received at the clinic is recorded in your file and this information is sent to your insurance company for billing.

You are sent a bill and you fail to make a timely payment. A collection agency contracted by the hospital sends you a notice, which has all of the information about your clinic visit and various charges.

Identify and discuss all of the HIPAA violations present in this scenario. Also, point out situations that do not represent HIPAA violations. For those situations in which you believe a violation has taken place, make a recommendation to correct them.

Juvenile Justice System: Strengths and Limitations

On the surface, the juvenile justice system closely resembles the adult criminal justice system, but there are dramatic differences. While the criminal justice system considers shame to be a component of correctional criminal justice, the juvenile system takes great care to protect even the most violent youthful offenders until they are deemed adults and are eligible to enter the main criminal justice system. Most youthful offenders are subject to truncated due process rights in order to protect their interests as children, and they are stewarded through the juvenile criminal justice system with the hope that they can be reformed. (However, some young offenders accused of very serious crimes are tried as adults and receive the same methods of adjudication and correction as adult offenders.)

For the most part, child criminals are protected from scrutiny at large and entered into a system that ideally helps them change their behavior patterns and become functioning, contributing members of society. Although protecting the interests of the child offender is of great concern, the stigma of being a delinquent—a term that was, incidentally, coined to avoid stigmatization—still proves to be problematic in society and, therefore, possibly undermines the attempt at reform rather than punishment.

To prepare for this Discussion:

 

Review Chapter 13 in your course text, Criminal Justice: A Brief Introduction. Pay attention to the purposes of the juvenile justice system and take into consideration the agencies, processes, and problems in the system.

 

 

 

Conduct an Internet search (“juvenile justice” or “juvenile justice system”) to ascertain what is currently happening in juvenile justice (both in public policy and in real-life applications) and how it is working and not working.

 

Identify at least two strengths and two limitations of the system and think about why you see them as strengths and limitations.

 

 

 

Consider the following question: Do you think that the juvenile justice system has a raison d’être—a reason to be—in today’s society? If so, why? If not, why not?

 

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day3 a brief description of two strengths and two limitations of the modern juvenile justice system. Be specific and use examples to illustrate. Then, take a position: Do you believe that the juvenile justice system has a raison d’être—a reason to be? Justify your position with specific examples.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

CRJ 100 Assignment 2: Trials and Verdicts ( 1470 Words in APA Format with References) Strayer University

/in /by

In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Tim Smith, senior criminal lawyer, discusses select cases and asks a paralegal to indicate which courts would have exclusive jurisdiction of the cases in question. He also discusses various pretrial procedures and illustrates them with select cases. Finally, Tim Smith introduces the case of Roland Gary, who served twenty-three (23) years in prison for a crime that he did not commit. The case brought to light several key issues, along with the manner in which they were resolved.

Use the Internet to research three real-life cases from the past five (5) years that fit the following criteria:

  • Cases that depict the unique processes related to different courts
  • The defendant accepted a plea bargain as an alternative to trial
  • The defendant was wrongly accused and later vindicated

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

  1. Discuss one (1) real-life criminal case, taken from current events, and identify the court that took jurisdiction. Explain why the court that took the case was the appropriate one for the particular circumstances.
  2. Discuss the real-life case that you have selected, in which the defendant accepted a plea bargain as an alternative to trial. Give your opinion on whether or not justice was served in the case in question. Provide a rationale for the response.
  3. Discuss the real-life case that you selected, in which, like Roland Gary, the defendant was wrongly accused and later vindicated. Explore one (1) key aspect of the case and examine its relation to the case at large. Describe the resolution to the selected case.
  4. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment.

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format.
