EOC Week 3

You have a persuasive argument, valid points, and I agree with you on some of your statements. This is one of those things, where depending upon which side of the fence your standing, determines how you view the playing field. I wish I could see things as black and white as you do. I agree it is up to us to change the things we deem unnecessary, and sometimes they do change, but at a snail’s pace, and sometimes too little too late. I know that things aren’t always going to be perfect, and we do have a lot of privileges that others don’t get to enjoy, I guess all in all; the justice system to me is a teenage kid that needs constant supervision, and every now and then put on a time out. I appreciate you pointing out some of our not so finer moments in the toddler stages of American law.

EOC Week 3

Oh too true; I feel as though you and I share the same ideology on the justice system as we know it today and as it will always be. I like how you touched on some points that I would liked to have explored. Somehow America is becoming un-American as though it was feeding on itself. I wonder if there will ever be the right formula for a world, without the need for rules and restrictions, or two separate policies for the have and have knots. The system as we know it is faulted and you definitely have a good grasp of where our nation is heading if we don’t stop and notice the world around us. The question I truly want to know is do you think there will come a time where everyone as a whole will say, things need to change. The odds of this happening are slim to none; but one can hope.

What I Think about Today's Justice System

Today’s justice system has come a long way, but still has a long way to go. Most people don’t know that Crimes violate statutes, while Torts are against ones person, property, or reputation. Crimes fall into three groups: Treason, Felonies, and Misdemeanors. Torts are usually considered civil matters because they are things done against anothers person. I have personally experienced both sides of the spectrum, so my views might be one sided. However; this is about how I feel about justice system. I can sum it up in one word “corrupt”. In my opinion anything that is controlled by man can be manipulated and tipped to work in another’s favor. Meaning you or I can wield things in our favor if we know all the rules to the game, and if not; give them a real run for the money. The one with the most knowledge usually finds all the loop holes, because they know where to look.
Legislator passes laws all the time right under the general public noses, then "bam" a new law of the land needs to be enforced, and if you don’t comply off to the house of justice to answer for your crimes, oddly enough us as civilians have the power to change this, but usually find it to tedious to be part of the law making process, and trust the Politian’s we’ve elected to represent us. I suggest we as Americans start taking a closer look at what our elected officials and doing, and make sure there doing it on our behalf. Justice is a balancing act, and what makes sense in the past might not hold true today, I view the Justice system as machine that needs to be maintained and tuned up from time to time. So a fundamental knowledge would be a good skill to acquire.

What I Think of Lawyers

When I think of lawyers, I think well educated gangsters; until I need one. Most people are not well versed in the do’s and don’ts of law. To me; this is where this criminal is validated and accepted in our society. I use the terms gangster and criminal loosely, but this is not the case for all lawyers. Now you have lawyers whose sole desire is to change the injustices that plague or society, these lawyers to me are true champions of the people. However; most didn’t get into the profession to help the little man, but to increase their income along with their stature. There are different forms of law and different boundaries in which these lawyers can maneuver, these being criminal, civil, business, real estate, entertainment, as well as contracts, etc….

Hopefully there will not be a day where you feel the need to be represented by a lawyer, but if you do make sure you get the best lawyer you can find within your budget. Some lawyers will work pro-bono (for free). Even then you have to watch out, making sure they are truly on your side and do not have a hidden agenda. For you never truly know what a lawyer position is until the end verdict. To me or should I say my experiences have taught me to never use, I repeat; never use a court appointed lawyer also known as a public defender. Ask yourself are they defending you or their job? Their adversary on the other end table might be the lawyer’s best friend or someone they admire and want to impress. All I’m saying is, just because they wear the title of lawyer doesn’t place them in a special class, for they are truly no different then you and I, and are affected by the world around them.
