Stephen J. Adler's "The Jury: Disorder In The Courts"
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Stephen J. Adler's The Jury: Disorder in the Courts illustrates quite clearly how the American judicial system has ruptured an integral component of its allegedly fair and impartial sequence: the jury. At issue is the means by which Adler contends jurors are selected and dismissed, as well as how uneducated far too many of them are as to a given case's critical factors. In essence, Adler wrote this book in order to draw attention to how the phrase 'jury of one's peers' is often the exact opposite and how the entire process – from calling people to jury duty to finding out why jurors voted a particular way at trial's end – has trickled down to reflect a substandard representation of society as a whole.

The Concept of Fairness in the Law of Natural Justice in Jurisprudence of the Commonwealth Caribbean
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing the concept of fairness and natural justice in regards to the jurisprudence of the Commonwealth Caribbean. The concept of fairness adds to the law of natural justice especially in its application of the jurisprudence of the Commonwealth Caribbean. The Commonwealth Caribbean, comprised of over 15 island and mainland nations in the Caribbean, has a system of law based primarily on that of the United Kingdom and on each nation’s colonial history. Some nations have components of the colonial Dutch and French systems as well because of historical ties. Regardless of the nation however, the Commonwealth Caribbean was considered one of the areas of the world in which basic laws of human rights, natural justice and natural law, were not being followed in regards to fairness, justice and equality within the judicial system. Prisoners unable to afford representation were not always provided with legal aid and were therefore not offered fair trials, decisions or appeals. With an international push for fairness in judicial systems, organizations were formed providing representation for criminals in the Commonwealth Caribbean in the mid-1990s and more recently constitutional amendments have been included providing for legal aid representation in all cases. Several amendments have been enforced within the judicial system as well to follow constitutional law to provide fair and just representation in regards to decisions pertaining to court justices and despite the power of the Chief Justice within the judicial system, he must also follow the concept of fairness in his application of justice within the judicial system itself. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

The O.J. Simpson Case as a Miscarriage of Justice?: Biographical Information on Simpson, The Crime, Controversy and Verdict
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the O.J. Simpson case. Throughout history there have been many judicial cases in which people believed that a miscarriage of justice has taken place. In some cases, it could be that someone was found guilty when in fact it was believed that he or she was innocent. Or, on the other hand, when someone was found not guilty when all the evidence seemed to indicate guilt. Probably one of the best known cases of the latter is considered that of the O.J. Simpson case in which he had been accused of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and waiter Ron Goldman. While the majority of the evidence seemed to indicate Simpson’s guilt, the jury nevertheless found him not guilty. While this may be considered as a miscarriage of justice by some, in reality it reflects the poor presentation and investigation of those involved who supposedly had good evidence against Simpson but overall had presented a case filled with inconsistencies, problems, police bias, and were heavily influenced by the public and the media.
