I have had to visit the Frank Crowley Criminal Courts Building. It is located at 133 N Riverfront Blvd, Dallas, TX 75207 in Dallas County. It has 11 floors and is 713,000 SQ FT. The various courts that are housed at the Frank Crowley building are the Criminal District Court, County Criminal Court, and the District Court all located in Dallas, Texas. My first impressions of the outside court house was that it looks huge. It is a huge brown brick building that houses multiple departments. It is next to downtown Dallas, next to the jail and near the Trinity River. The jail Lew Sterrett is directly behind the court building. The jail is divided into different units, including the North Tower, West Tower and Katy Tower. The building stands out on the busy Riverfront Street. As soon …show more content…
One on the 1st floor and three on the 2nd floor. The security personnel are as friendly as can be and I like where they have security placed in the building. While inside the courthouse I thought that the whole building could use some major updating. You can tell that the courthouse is outdated and not well kept with the interior of the building. While I was inside the courthouse I felt a very heavy feeling. I knew just by looking around and looking at others, that a lot has taken place inside that courthouse. Some of what has gone on does not have the happiest of endings. There are families that are finally getting justice, children committing crimes as adults. Etc... There are old brown benches to sit on, which of course are not very comfortable. I actually saw a few rats the short time I was in there. As I walked around the interior of the courthouse I saw a lot of lawyers that were there for court cases. A lot of them conducting business with their clients while sitting down on the benches in the hallways. I only visited a few floors while I was there. I saw a lot of people walking around without a smile on their face. I remember walking around trying to
In the Chinese detective novel, Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee, a view into the Chinese judicial system during the Tang dynasty is provided. After reading the novel, one finds that the Chinese judicial system worked in similar but also in different ways compared to modern day judicial systems around the world. In order to notice this correlation, this paper will analyze the responsibilities and measurements the judge had to undergo in order to solve the crimes that occurred in his district. The judge or magistrate during the Tang dynasty had a lot of power, “this government official united in his person the functions of judge, jury, prosecutor and detective” (IX). Judges had full responsibility and authority over all phases of the life of the
Thursday May 17, 1750, between eight and nine o'clock John Bradnam was intending to go to bed, but first was gathering some money to pay his way the following day. He put nineteen guineas and one shilling into a purse, and then placed the purse into his pocket. Shortly afterwards he was called down. Bradnam returned to his room about half an hour later, and upon his return he found his pocket had been moved. After taking out his money and counting it, he realized he was missing two guineas. He then asked his maid, Elizabeth Rice, who had been in his room, she said she did not know. Bradnam said some body had to have been in my room for I am missing two guineas. Bradnam search his maid and found the two guineas upon her. She then confused to taking out of his pocket, saying, she planned on paying him back. Bradnam then called Ann Wade, and John Archer up as soon as he had found it. Ann Wade and John Archer confirmed her testimony. Elizabeth Rice, on May 30, 1750, was charged with theft: simple grand larceny and was sentenced to the punishment of transportation.
...d feel of the courthouse. “To restore the interior, historic preservationist had to rely on remnants found from the original building, historic photographs, of which there were few, recollections of county residents who worked or visited the courthouse before the remodeling..”. “The 1910 courthouse closed in 2006 and the actual construction phase began in February of 2009.”
The “Letter from Birmingham Jail” by Martin Luther King Jr. was written when Dr. King was in solitary confinement after being arrested for protesting segregation laws in Birmingham. In this letter he discusses the injustice that is happening toward the African American community in Birmingham. Dr. King defines the differences between just and unjust laws where he makes a clear distinction between both of them. Dr. King believes unjust laws are laws that should be not followed and should be broken in order to gain civil rights.
The most impressive room in the building was the registry room. It measured 200 feet by 100 feet, and had an impressive fifty-six foot arched ceiling. Twelve narrow aisles, divided by iron bars, channeled new arrivals to be examined by doctors at the front of the room. The officials who worked at the island, however, were not impressed by the architecture. In fact, they constantly complained of leaky roofs, and other problems within the building.
In most cases, that can be accommodated by moving some services to and meeting with customers on the first floor. Court hearings can be shifted to the first-floor municipal courtroom when the presence of inmates, currently incarcerated in the Holmes County Jail, is required. To force them to use the stairs while handcuffed and in leg shackles would present a hazard to the inmate and transport officers.
During the opening statement, while both defense attorneys displayed a keen knowledge and comprehension of the case, Ms. Sabahat Ibrahim and her partner, Ms. Hiba Mohammad, lacked in regards to passion and speaking loudly. Ms. Ibrahim’s questions demonstrated dexterity, but could have been improved through clarification, as many witnesses were confused. Ms. Nusaiba Baqibillah, however, spoke clearly and loudly. Her dynamic with her fellow prosecutor, Ms. Noorulhuda Qasim, resembled a “bad cop, good cop” routine that often times forced the witness to retract or rethink a statement. Ms. Baqibillah and Ms. Qasim could have mentioned the fact that Napoleon was kind to the nine puppies and sheep to show how he was kind to non-pig
This book touched on the basic of prison and parole a little. I can say, I have learnt a lot from this book. Prison, can be describe as a trap. It promises a lot but only does so little. Yes, there are programs available for the inmates, to help them grow as a person. The system can be unfair at times, but rewarding. For example, each lifer in this book, explained how prison, has changed their lives. Programs they offered, helped shaped each inmate in different ways. It helps with their emotions, financial situations and gave them great life experiences, that they can use out in the real world. Also, the employees in the prison, had great impact on the five men that were released.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dedicated his life to fighting for equality for African-Americans. He marched for miles, gave many speeches, and wrote literature such as “Letter From Birmingham Jail” all in the name of justice. He even paid the ultimate price of death for his perseverance and his unwillingness to simply give up. Many would say that things are far different today than from Dr. King’s days; however, with ongoing discrimination and modern day activism like Black Lives Matter and Justice or Else, one could infer that we have not truly progressed.
With an expansive, open and accessible lawn and public space in front of the building, the Texas State Capitol also serves as a public park and tourist attraction in addition to the conforming use of government building. On festivals and holiday, parades and celebrations occurs on the axial avenue that leads up to the building. On these occasions, stands with boutiques, food, and other festive merchants are set up, and people of all ages, social and ethnic backgrounds are attracted here to celebrate with the Capitol
In the 1960s there were three very influential men fighting for the rights of many. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and John F. Kennedy were men fighting for the rights of the African Americans. Dr. King wrote many speeches but the ones that stick out to everyone are “I Have a Dream” and his “Letter from Birmingham City Jail”.
The house was based on three sections of land crosswise over from Christ Church Episcopal on what is presently East North Street.

The courts have the function of giving the public a chance to present themselves whether to prosecute or defend themselves if any disputes against them rise. It is known to everyone that a court is a place where disputes can be settled while using the right and proper procedures. In the Criminal court is the luxury of going through a tedious process of breaking a law. Once you have been arrested and have to go to court because of the arrest, you now have a criminal case appointed against you. The court is also the place where a just, fair and unbiased trial can be heard so that it would not cause any disadvantage to either of the party involved in the dispute. The parties are given a chance to represent themselves or to choose to have a legal representative, which is mostly preferred by many.
