The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series is a series of interactive novel video games made by Capcom for Nintendo devices first released in 2001. It was based around the main playable defense attorney known by the players as Phoenix Wright. The games in this series are based on the Japanese law system, where infinite odds are stacked upon the defense. The series is an innovative and popular one, being among the stars of Capcom with the popular Street Fighter series as well as the (now deceased) Mega Man series. Capcom was very successful with this series and provided an equal balance in familiarity and new creative features with each new addition to the series… as well as some good humor. Ace Attorney does have a slightly interesting history and quite an odd future.

The game explores the plotline and history of the characters more than most other games in the series, with no new mechanics, but characters are more well-liked in this game compared to the others. Similarly to the Justice for All, the localization did not bring any new cases. Overall, the game was considered the best of the series. However, Phoenix was to leave the role of main protagonist only to return in the fifth game after Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney was released (Gyakuten Saiban 4).
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was a game that took risks with creativity, delving into a brand-new genre. It used new ideas that weren’t thought of before but came from a small collection of ideas that the creator of the game had, that were then put into a courtroom setting, connecting ideas of pointing out mistakes, and use of logic. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is an innovative game series, and will continue with lines of games in the

Paul Butler says in his article, “Jurors Need to Know That They Can Say No”, “If you are ever on a jury in a marijuana case, I recommend that you vote ‘not guilty’…As a juror you have this power under the Bill of Rights; if you exercise it, you will become part of a proud tradition of American jurors who helped make our laws fairer.” This is in reference to jury nullification. It is an actual constitutional doctrine that is premised upon the idea that the jury (ordinary citizens), not government officials, should possess the final word on whether an individual should be punished. As Butler explains, jury nullification is for the most part a good thing. It was necessary to end prohibition, it has caused prosecutors over the years to change tactics when
This field has transformed over the years from being just a clerical task related secretarial or filing clerk job to becoming a specialized profession which requires procedural knowledge of the legal field. In the late seventies, due to the increase of professionals in this growing area, organizations were enacted to represent the ideas and self-determinations. One of the pioneers was a Florida based group named SFPA, whish promoted the concerns of the legal assistants.
The Dread Scott decision exacerbated the debate over slavery by declaring that blacks cannot be citizens and that Congress does not have the power to prohibit slavery in the territories, which further divided the North and the South. The decision also deeply affected politics, and was one of the causes of the Civil War.

Criticisms of lawyers are the topic in Richard A. Wasserstrom's article "Lawyers as Professionals: Some Moral Issues." Wasserstrom broke this topic into two main areas of discussion. The first suggests that lawyers operate with essentially no regard for any negative impact of their efforts on the world at large. Analysis of the relationship that exists between the lawyer and their client was the second topic of discussion. "Here the charge is that it is the lawyer-client relationship which is morally objectionable because it is a relationship which the lawyer dominates and in which the lawyer typically, and perhaps inevitably, treats the client in both an impersonal and a paternalistic fashion."
The novel Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer has a very in-depth conflict that is showcased all throughout the novel. In Theo's community, there is a high-profile murder trial about to begin. Mr. Pete Duffy, a wealthy business man, is accused of murdering his wife Myra Duffy. The prosecutors have the idea that Mr. Duffy did it for the one million dollar insurance policy he took out on his wife earlier, however they have no proof to support this accusation (Grisham 53). The defendants do however have the proof that no one saw the murder, for all everyone knew, Mr. Duffy was playing his daily round of golf at the golf course right by his house. As the trial moved on, the jury was starting to lean towards letting Mr. Duffy walk a free man. To this point, there has been no proof to support the prosecutors statements that Mr. Duffy killed h...
Given the difficulty in navigating these unique challenges, in-house counsel have been increasingly targeted as part of governmental investigations and regulatory actions. This is especially true in cases where the government believes the in-house counsel was not acting as an attorney and can provide useful information against the client. In Part II, we will look at some of these examples.

In assessing the impact and effect of popular cultural forms like MTV, it is important to acknowledge the extent to which, rather than having them imposed upon us, we may instead appropriate or assimilate parts, whilst choosing to reject or ignore the rest. This, of course, has the consumer or viewer acting (or perhaps more accurately interacting) as opposed to simply passively receiving (Philo par 16).Even though critics of MTV stand strongly against the passive consumer, th...
Eudora Welty establishes “The Worn Path” in the midst of the twentieth century – in an era where African Americans were not considered as equal to white Americans. Welty tells the story of Phoenix Jackson, an elderly African-American woman, who makes a lengthy voyage into town to get medication for her chronically ill grandson.

However, the fact that old infirm Phoenix is faced with hindrances and some racist attitudes of people she encounters along the journey; she endeavors onward despite frequent hindrances in her path that include her own deteriorating health and the grandchild’s slim chance of subsistence.
Attorneys ensure that society has a place to seek and obtain justice, giving confidence that restitution and retribution can occur within the law. Attorneys have a difficult job. They must know the laws like they know the back of their hands. Attorneys attend school just as long or even longer than most doctors. They have the difficult job of defending their clients or prosecuting the bad guys.

Starting off as a criminal defense attorney himself, John Grisham had a very valuable grasp of law before writing the novel. When writing his books, he likes to make lawyers the major characters (“GJ”). John Grisham can connect his real life
I have chosen to use a criminal defense lawyer as my primary legal career for this discussion board. A criminal defense lawyer, is a lawyer who specializes in defending an individual or a company that has been charged with a crime. Criminal defense lawyers have to deal with many different circumstances. For instance, arrests, criminal charges, investigations, sentencing, appeals, and even post-trial issues.

Criminal defense lawyers often have to work out substantive issues in connection with their clients supposed crime. Many times criminal defense lawyers will be helping a client even before charges have been filed against them by
