Abstract
This paper examines and reviews Franz Kafka's work "The Trial," describing it as a typically existential work. The paper explains the basic ideas behind existentialism and why "The Trial" contains the essential elements of this philosophy. The paper gives a basic plot summary and other literary devices Kafka used to engage the reader. The paper concludes by citing Kafka's possible intention of using this work to critique corrupt political regimes of his time.
From the Paper
"In this, K.'s existential anxiety increases progressively through the novel, as he continues to live under the extreme stress of waiting for something to come of his trial. This is signified by means of various elements, and most significantly in the suffocation that permeates all K.'s dealings with the law. K.'s source of meaning is his work and the way in which his life is ordered. In contrast to this, his existential angst is exacerbated by the Court and the way it harrassas him. "

"The Trial", 2002.
An analysis of Franz Kafka's own alienation in "The Trial" .

Abstract
This paper argues that Kafka's theme of alienation and estrangement in "The Trial" can very much be connected to the historical and personal circumstances in Kafka's own life. To some extent, Kafka depersonalized his own alienation and translated it in a metaphorical manner in this novel. The estrangement he felt because of his nationality and Jewish ethnicity played a large role in this process.

Abstract
The paper describes, in detail, the systems of trial by ordeal, including the various types of ordeals and how they were carried out, and shows the reasons for the creation of the modern jury trial system and how it was first implemented in medieval England.
From the Paper
"Although they are sometimes controversial, the rights of accused persons are among the most important rights guaranteed all persons residing within the United States. The right to a trial by a jury of ones peers is the heart of those rights guaranteed to accused persons. This is related to English constitutional history because it is here where we find the origins of the jury trial system. We will trace the ways in which accused persons in medieval England were tried, beginning with the various forms of trial by ordeal, trial by combat, and ending with trial by jury. Our discussion of the various forms of trial will follow the following form: 1) We shall first discuss trial by compurgation, its practice, and its limitations. 2) When possible we shall discuss trial by ordeal as a necessary alternative to trial by compurgation, as well as the historical origins of the various types of ordeals used in medieval England. 3) We will discuss trial by battle as an alternative to trial by ordeal and compurgation, its origins, and how it was practiced in medieval England. 4) We will discuss origins of trial by jury in medieval England and the reasons for how and why it eventually replaced the various forms of trial by ordeal."

From the Paper
?When the train that they were riding on stopped in Stevenson, Alabama, the small group of black boys decided to walk along the tracks. A short while later they met up with some more black boys from another car. The boys decided that they would get back at the white boys who had been throwing rocks at them earlier. Once the train started again, the same group of white boys started throwing rocks at the blacks from a lower car. The now rather large group of blacks got in the car that the whites were riding in and started fighting them."

Abstract
The first former head-of-state to be tried for war crimes, Slobodan Milosevic, was a powerful leader in Yugoslavia. He is currently being tried at the Hague as a war criminal. This paper questions how war crimes trials worked in the past and how they will work in the future. The writer points out that by looking at the Milosevic case gives insight into the future of war crimes trials.
I. Introduction
II. Review of the Literature: Questions Surrounding War Crimes Trials
III. The Case of Slobodan Milosevic
IV. Revisiting the War Crimes Trials Questions
V. Implications for the Future
VI. Conclusion
VII. Bibliography
From the Paper
"With the current trial of Slobodan Milosevic taking place at the Hague, war crimes trials have gained renewed interest. War crimes trials of the past look much different than those of today and likely those of the future. Looking at the Milosevic case, predictions can be made regarding the future of war crimes trials and how former heads of state may be tried. As the first former head of state to be tried for war crimes before an international tribunal, Milosevic?s actions and the outcome of the case will set a precedent for all future war crimes trials."

Franz Kafka?s "A Hunger Artist", 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses the many similarities between Kafka's ?A Hunger Artist? and the private world of Franz Kafka. The paper provides a brief look into Kafka's background and the problematic relationship he had with his parents. The paper states that the predominant theme of the story is one of misunderstanding and explains how this theme relates to Kafka's life.
From the Paper
"Franz Kafka?s short story, ?A Hunger Artist? is considered by many to be a bizarre story about a bizarre art. The plot revolves around an artist who literally dies for his art while he is misunderstood for most of his life. The starving artist experiences an inner turmoil that he is never able to escape. In addition, the artist never finds the desperately needed approval he seeks from the public. While this story may appear to have nothing in common with anyone that exists in the real world, upon close inspection, we can see parallels in Kafka?s life and that of the starving artist."

The Scottsboro Trial, 2002.
An examination of the verdicts in the Scottsboro Trial - a series of trials between 1931-37 of nine African-American teenagers for the rape of two white women.

Abstract
This paper examines whether the verdicts in the trials were inevitable or whether the defense teams made mistakes that were serious enough that, if they had not been made, might have resulted in different verdicts. The writer argues that the guilty verdicts in the trials were inevitable considering the prevalent social, cultural and political attitudes of the American South at the time. There is no doubt that the defense teams made serious mistakes during the trials but the verdict would have been the same even if these mistakes had been avoided.
From the Paper
"During the 1930s when the Scottsboro Trials took place, white jurors in the Deep South were unwilling to accord a black man, accused of raping a white woman, the presumption of being innocent until proven guilty. At best, the accused were lucky not to be lynched without a trial. So the Scottsboro Boys started off at a great handicap when two white women, Victoria Price and Ruby Bates, (who, later withdrew her accusation) chose to accuse them of rape while riding a freight and gravel carrying train from Tennessee to Alabama."

Abstract
This paper chronicles the witch trials of 1692 and argues that the main reasons why the witch trials occurred were conflicts dealing with politics, religion, family, economics, and fears of the citizens.

Kafka's World, 2003.
A review of Franz Kafka's "In The Penal Colony" and "The Trial Understandable".
4,117 words (approx. 16.5 pages), 13 sources, MLA, $ 110.95

Abstract
Through his literature Franz Kafka creates worlds where natural, social, judicial and logical laws that govern our world no longer apply. The paper shows Kafka's worlds terrify us because our lives are full of moments which seem to imitate his worlds. The paper seeks to apply the abstract realities of Kafka's world to our reality in an effort to help us understand the meaning behind his work. It looks at two of his works as a reflection of his perception of reality - "In the Penal Colony" and "The Trial Understandable".
From the Paper
"What is interesting to note is that Kafka?s story never entered this phase, it began there. No Kafka story ever depicts the transition to this phase. "In the Penal Colony" begins at a time after the moment at which almost every other Kafka narrative works to arrive. We literally jump right in at the moment of judgment; whether it is that of an irrevocable legal decision, philosophical insight, religious salvation or damnation, or simply the judgment of the father. These forms of judgment cannot be kept separate in Kafka's narrative worlds. As Joseph K. thinks on the task of preparing his appeal to the court, his legal task becomes indistinguishable from the activity of philosophical or religious self-examination."

The O.J. Simpson Murder Trial, 1999.
Analyzes trial and pre-trial events, media, jury, evidence, police, the role of race, prosecution and the reason for the verdict.

From the Paper
"This research paper examines how the evidence in this case was used by the jury to find the defendant, O. J. Simpson, not guilty. The predominantly black and female jury took less than four hours to arrive at its verdict. Such a speedy decision appeared to many to be strange behavior after a case which took nine months to try and involved 1015 pieces of evidence, 45,000 pages of transcript and scores of witnesses (Behind 27). This led many observers to conclude that the jury had ignored a 'mountain of evidence' against Simpson and had voted to acquit based on its emotional biases and external perceptions unrelated to the evidence. A more accurate interpretation would be that the jury made up its mind before it began its deliberations and found that a reasonable doubt existed as to Simpson's guilt, largely because..."

The Longest Trials in the World, 2008.
A discussion of five trials that violated the right to a "speedy trial" guaranteed to all U.S. citizens by the Constitution.
2,007 words (approx. 8.0 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper sets out to show that the legal right of a U.S. citizen to a "speedy trial," as set forth in Amendment VI of the Bill of Rights, cannot be guaranteed. Using the four questions set by the Supreme Court to define to a certain extent what is meant by "speedy," the writer examines five cases where the trial dragged out from over a year to more than six years, including sentencing, due to causes such as justice court appeals, Supreme Court appeals, carelessness, and mistrials. The last case examined is that of O.J. Simpson, which took place after the Speedy Trial Act of 1974. The writer concludes therefore that the right to a "speedy trial" is not as easy to uphold as it may sound.
From the Paper
"The last case in which an accused felon did not receive the right to a speedy trial was the trial of The People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson. O.J. asked for a speedy trial so that the prosecution would be as unprepared as possible. This may have helped to acquit O.J., for the prosecution was not prepared for its proof such as the DNA test. Also, there were delays with the trial itself. In the jural selection, two of the remaining 12 (supposed to be in the trial) were released from the panel. So, instead of twelve jurors, there were only ten."

Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis", 2007.
Discusses the theme of the importance of the arts in Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis".

Abstract
This paper explains that Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" illustrates the idea that the love of arts is looked down upon and those that see art as important are ranked no higher than a beetle. The author points out thow the character of Gregor is seen as a parallel to Kafka's own life especially in that Kafka's father disapproved of Kafka's work in literature. The paper compares Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" to Ovid's "Metamorphoses" in that many of the characters undergo a similar transformation giving up their human form. In both works, the characters suffer a punishment at the hands of loving art by caring something so much that such a ordinary place has no choice but to punish them until they can fly above this ordinary pursuing world.
From the Paper
"What Gregor's society, and Kafka's father as well, fail to understand is the beauty and relevance within the artistic disciplines. Just by recognizing this fact and wanting to hold on to it so much makes Gregor, Kafka and characters belonging to Ovid beautiful, even if those around them dehumanize them, literally or physically. The want for art and something more than money leads to Gregor's transformation into a lesser being just as Ovid's characters such as Pyramus and Thisbe transform from beings of the realm of the living to the realm of the un-living."

Abstract
This paper examines clinical trial management practices and how they vary in the United States and Europe as a result of wide-ranging governmental bodies and regulations. It compares and contrasts the rules of the the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and its equivalent in Europe, the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA). In particular, it provides a brief analysis of several areas involved with oncology clinical trial management in the United States and Europe, including a discussion of medical ethics, the role of the Institutional Review Board in clinical trials, quality of life issues and health economics in oncology studies. It also looks at investigator attitudes towards clinical trials, clinical trial length, compliance and decisions regarding new drug applications (NDAs).
From the Paper
"Investigator attitudes towards clinical trials vary widely and are often dependent upon the investigator?s direct involvement in the clinical trial as well as the balance between routine patient care and clinical trial management. According to Abelson, Welch, and Lynch (86), ?In a trial, the clinician?s judgment carries a lot of weight. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration bases approval of drugs upon a clinician?s judgment of who should be in the trial, how to categorize adverse events, whether there is a drug interaction and the interpretation of specific parameters. These judgments are critical.? Investigators are ultimately responsible for all areas of the study, from recruitment and participant selection to event reporting and monitoring."
