Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", 2005.
This paper reviews Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", a lady in waiting in the court of the Japanese court from 1007 to 1010 A.D., which discusses the social and cultural influence of Confucianism and Buddhism on ancient Japan.

Abstract
This paper explains that Lady Murasaki wrote her "Court Diary during the period in which Bushido was a code and way of life for Samurai men and was influenced by Zen and Confucianism. The author points out that in Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", it is obvious that Buddhism and Buddhist metaphysics are very much a part of Japanese court life; however, what is not so obvious is that Chinese Confucianism also had become part of 10th century Japan's Imperial court. The paper relates that the notion of impermanence is an extremely salient characteristic throughout the Diary; she writes that all things are ephemeral, reflecting on the aesthetics of the period, which were based on the beauty of impermanence.
From the Paper
"Confucianism influenced the Chinese attitude toward life, set the patterns of living and standards of social value, and provided the background for Chinese political theories and institutions. It eventually spread from China to Korea, from Korea to Japan where it was first brought to around the fifth century. Confucius had a great impact on the Japanese civilization. His teachings relating to ethics, honor, social responsibility, familial obligations, ancestor worship, and observation of rites and historical precedence provide the glue that gives the Japanese civilization continuity and durability."

Ian Greene's "The Courts", 2008.
This paper is a critical review of Ian Greene's "The Courts", which examines the relationship between courts and democracy in Canada.
1,650 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in "The Courts", Ian Greene uses the major criteria of participation, inclusiveness and responsiveness to evaluate the Canadian courts and their relations to democracy. The author points out that the objective of Greene's book was to provide a rather objective picture of the state of the courts in Canada without providing a personal option; nonetheless, his personal opinions are very generalized conclusions. The paper relates a number of weaknesses to Greene's arguments and only gives this book a mild recommendation because, suggesting that, beyond presenting a general examination of the court system in Canada, the book is almost useless. The paper recommends that the book would be made more effective by Greene making changes, such as a clear statement on the democratic or undemocratic nature of the Canadian courts.
From the Paper
"There are technically three key aspects of Green's organization scheme. The first is a general strategy of focusing on the systematic nature of the courts as an institution instead of the actions of individual actors. This makes a great deal of sense considering that individual courts will vary incredibly. Therefore, the operations of one court are more then likely to differ from operations of another court. But by examining a wide range of judges, lawyers, court officers, academics, policy makers and litigants it is possible to create a better picture of the over all operations of the courts as an institution in Canadian society."

The American Court System, 2007.
A discussion on the merits of a dual court system in the United States.
2,654 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 79.95

Abstract
The paper presents a discussion on the dual court system in the United States. The writer explains the two systems, how they function and then argues that it would not be better to go to a single court system. The paper examines how each system is in the hierarchical form of a pyramidal structure, allowing review and, if necessary, revision by upper-level courts. The paper concludes that, while the dual courts in America do have many elements in common, they each serve a purpose and to dismantle that system would be to defy the Constitution that the nation was built on.
Outline:
Introduction
Explaining Dual Court System Functions
State Courts
Single Court System
Conclusion
References
From the Paper
"Before one can begin to understand why a single court system would be more efficient and inexpensive than the current dual court system it is important to have an understanding of the dual court system and how it works.
The structure and foundation of the dual court system goes back to the writing of the United States constitution. The United States constitution established something called a system of federalism which meant that the federal government has limited authority over the courts in the land while the balance or bulk of that authority is was left to individual states to handle and decide."

Moses and the Modern Court, 2004.
This paper is an essay that contends the modern liberalized courts are not following the example of Mosaic laws.
1,240 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the national court system is built on the Mosaic model. The local courts judge local matters, which give rise to an appeal process that leads to the district court and appellate courts,and eventually the Supreme Court if the matter needs to be addressed on a national level. The author believes that had Moses been a leader like liberal President Clinton he would have quickly failed and created a nation of self-serving rather than God-serving people. The paper argues that the activist court is creating a self-seeking populace and political elite class that considers itself above the law and seeks to govern the masses for its own benefit, rather than for the well-being of the country.
From the Paper
"Moses had stood before Pharaoh and, with God?s help, delivered millions of people from slavery into freedom. Now, as they left Sinai with a list of commandments, as well as traditions and customs, handed down to them from God himself, the children of Israel faced a long transformation. They had to build a new collective identity. The Israelites needed to become a people with a sense of self-governance, after spending 400 years in Egypt as slaves during which their every move was dictated for them."

Abstract
This paper presents the facts, issues and reasons for each case. The Hernandez vs. State of Texas (1954) was the only Latino American civil-rights case heard and decided by the United States Supreme Court during post-World War II period. The Bobb vs. Municipal Court was case about a woman, called to serve on a jury, who refused to answer certain questions on the grounds that while women were asked about their spouses men were not; she was held in contempt of court. Brooksbank vs. Anderson is a case about corporate issues.
From the Paper
"The lower court sided with Brooksbank on the grounds that his original ?guarantee? of funds was in fact not a guarantee in the strict sense. ?The district court concluded that these provisions constituted consideration because they created new or different obligations by respondent, which were not contained in earlier agreements? The court ordered the respondent to pay over $86,000."

The Supreme Court, 2005.
This paper extensively reviews the Supreme Court, two of its Chief Justice--- Earl Warren and William H. Rehnquist--- and some of the cases relating to their tenure.
5,610 words (approx. 22.4 pages), 19 sources, APA, $ 136.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that, when studying the Supreme Court, the views of the Chief Justice becomes the generalization for the Court as a whole because, when each new Chief Justice is appointed, the view of the Court tends to change. The author points out that two of the main changes that the Supreme Court has gone through over the last half century were periods when it was headed by Chief Justices Earl Warren, who became a liberal and by William H. Rehnquist, who remained a staunch conservative; both were Republicans but they had completely different views on how the decisions of the Supreme Court should be made. The paper concludes that the Supreme Court would not be considered the most prestigious court in the United States, and perhaps even the world, if it was not a court with diversity, not only in the justices themselves who represent various races, genders, ethnicities and religions, but also in ideologies and political views.
From the Paper
"Throughout Warren's years as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, he changed the entire way the nation operated. Warren and his court overruled precedents and set new ones. When an individual wakes up, gets ready, and goes to school, that individual will most likely step into a classroom where there are people of many different races, ethnicities and religions. If it was not for the liberal views of the Warren Court, especially Warren himself, there is no way to determine if the United States would have the civil rights that it does. If it were not for the Warren Court, we would not hear, "you have the right to remain silent..." on the television show, Cops, every night. Warren's liberal views helped mold the United States into what it is today."

Knowledge and Expertise in the Court System, 2008.
An analysis of whether expert knowledge, that is presented in court, is in fact true and accurate knowledge and whether it is reliable in court proceedings.
1,763 words (approx. 7.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 56.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the truth of knowledge and expertise within the court system and looks at whether this form of information could represent inaccurate knowledge. More specifically, the paper analyzes whether data such as scientific opinion and expertise, social science evidence and eyewitness testimony are reliable in court proceedings and whether they do, in fact, represent "knowledge."
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Knowledge and Expertise in Court
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The findings of the abovementioned researchers indicate some interesting trends in our conception of "truth", "knowledge" and "expertise" in the modern court system. Though science is honored in modern society as an almost God-like certainty, in the court system (as Bertin & Henifin point out) it holds much less weight. The combined findings indicate that court rulings are based rather on a number of forms of evidence, all of which have been called into question by the researchers. Like Bertin and Henifin, Redding and Reppucci explored a form of court evidence often scrutinized for accuracy - social science evidence. However, unlike Bertin and Henifin, Redding and Reppucci seem to lament the fact that their investigated form of evidence is often overlooked or misconstrued in the field of law, particularly by judges - the ultimate decision-makers. Lastly, like Redding and Reppucci, Kebbell and Giles explored the concept of bias in court in eliciting tainted evidence. Kebbell and Giles demonstrated that the questioning techniques of lawyers can have an impact on the accuracy of eyewitness recollection. The combined findings of these researchers indicate that knowledge and expertise in the court system under current provisions is far from conclusive."

From the Paper
"Sally Satel (2000) writes that many diseases and afflictions are a manifestation of the living environment in which people live; and for that reason, it was inevitable that court ordered substance abuse treatment came about. Satel writes, ". . . it was inevitable that public health would overlap with public policy (p. 10)." With drug related crime at an all time high, and with the use and addiction to methamphetamines which has swept the country in the past decade, the inevitability has become a reality on a large scale. Unfortunately, the very services that moved from the dark side of society, where it was relegated to since the earliest history of mankind; and which during the late 1970s and 1980s moved to the forefront of medicine, psychiatric care and substance abuse, has now, even in face of the recognition for the dire need for those services, become near non-existent in for-profit health care and relegated to the spheres of community based services where is has become crippled as a viable service due to lack of funding from the public and government arenas where it now remains stagnant as a result of that lack of funding."

Abstract
In this article, the writer provides the background to the U.S. Supreme Court through a brief history of the Court. In addition, the writer presents an explanation as to how cases from trial court work their way up to the Supreme Court for review. The writer notes that both topics are rich with layers of complexity and for the purposes of this paper, an overview of the history and process of the Supreme Court is provided.
From the Paper
"Additional restrictions on appeals to the Supreme Court include some of the general restrictions applied to all appellate review. For example, appeals are restricted to losing parties, questions of law to be addressed must have been raised during trial court, and time restrictions exist in permitting the filing of an appeal.
"Once a case successfully reaches the Supreme Court docket, a lengthy review process begins which can take as long as three years to complete. Once the process is completed, the Supreme Court issues a number of opinions representing the different views held by the justices following the review process. The opinion most widely shared amongst the majority (the majority opinion) represents the final decision of the Supreme Court. "

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The juvenile justice system was created separately from adult courts at the end of the 19th century. The purpose of the juvenile court was to help avoid the stigma of having a record, and to lean toward rehabilitative rather than punitive. Even though the process is somewhat similar to the adult court process, the juvenile court certainly has its differences. Those differences being a major difference in terminology, trial procedures, more rehabilitation than punitive, and juveniles under the age of 18 can no longer be put to death. The court certainly has more benefits than disadvantages especially with the confidentiality of records and allowing juveniles a fresh start once they enter adulthood provided they stay out of trouble. There are some who believe that abolishing the system would be better as it is viewed as being too lenient. However, to do so would cause a bigger backlog in the adult system just as an example of a problem that would create. There are definite recommendations for the future to improve the juvenile justice system even though it has made great strides since its inception."

Abstract
The paper discusses how SB 1186, relating to Drug Court Programs by Senator Lynn and other sponsors, would start institutionalizing drug courts in Florida by providing for a steady source of funds for the programs. This law mandated a $6 court cost on persons convicted of a violation and the money would fund the drug courts. The paper describes how the trend of drug courts had spread to almost every state. The paper explains how the judge, the prosecutor and the defense attorney work together with a shared goal of keeping the defendant in treatment. Drug court judges are able to exercise sufficient discretion and shape the system more suitably to each individual. The paper also notes the criticism of this system.

Summary or Overview
Social Issue
Implementing Arm and Cost
Analysis
From the Paper
"It was sponsored by Senator Evelyn J. Lynn and co-sponsored by Senator Mike Fasano. S 397.334 established a drug court program in each county. Under s 318.121, a county may require by ordinance the assessment of a mandatory cost at $6 by both circuit cost and the county cost against every person who pleads guilty or convicted of the crime, regardless of adjudication, a violation of a state criminal statute, a municipal ordinance, county ordinance, or any violation, which results in the payment of a fine or civil penalty."
