Contingent-Fee Arrangement Versus "Loser Pays"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The American public cannot watch late-night television without being overwhelmed with a barrage of legal counsel commercials advertising their contingent-fee agreement; for a large chunk of the plaintiff's settlement - anywhere from twenty-five to fifty percent - the company will represent that individual for no upfront costs. While logic says an attorney would never take a case on contingency unless he or she knew the odds were very much in the plaintiff's favor to emerge with a victorious ruling, this is not always foolproof for the legal counsel when they realize - after investing considerable time and money out of their own pockets - that the case is far from solid. By contrast, a system whereby the loser covers all costs from both sides can either benefit or damage the defendant if the plaintiff has a better attorney and earns the decision in a case whereby the defendant was not guilty of any wrongdoing. Indeed, the prevalence of people being ruled against simply because the opposing side was more effective with identifying loopholes in the system illustrates how there are still some aspects of law that fails to serve and protect the innocent.

The shop owner no longer wants to sell the item for the stated price and has offered to refund Ms. Ross' cash payment of $150. On her refusal, the shop owner refused to relinquish the painting and all items associated with it. The paper is a chronology of Ms. Ross' attorney's actions and rationale for them.

Courtroom Camera: Legal And Ethical Implications
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. With all the deception and ridicule surrounding the American judicial system, it would seem a good idea to open up the courtrooms across the country to show in intricate detail just how the process is achieved. After all, both the public and the system itself stand to learn quite a bit from televised trials. From a taxpayer's point of view, people have every right to know what is happening inside the very courtrooms their tax dollars furnish. Supporters of cameras contend that each citizen should have the option of seeing just what their money is paying for, as well as be privy to every minute detail that may not otherwise make it into a reporter's account of the trial. However, the question that comes immediately to the minds of many critics when the issue of courtroom cameras is broached, is what actual purpose do they serve by being there?
