The judge entered the room. The prosecutor and I stood and the court case was now in session. The prosecuting attorney stated the charges. It was now my turn to defend my client as the defense. I had no idea what to do. I stood up and began to speak. The prosecutor looked very confident as i began to speak, but the further i went, the more nervous and shaky he became. My client was charged on the account of breaking and entering. I managed to somehow use my creativity to worm my way out of this situation being that my client was guilty and confessed. After the session concluded the camp counselor came up to me and said that my defense was one of the most creative and unorthodox win he has ever witnessed. That was the moment i realized I enjoyed

  • Paramedic Monologue

    My trial had been set for Monday, one day from now. Just one more day until I was out I kept telling myself. I had already met with my lawyer once, he was nice enough but seemed slightly oblivious. He didn't even ask me if I did it, didn't he want to know? He just went over what I had been doing that evening only asking a few questions. I didn't know how that would help him prepare for my case but I didn't want to think about that. I trusted him enough. I knew that was dumb but I did it anyways.

    Happiness is fake, like something forced upon me; something not real, fabricated and I don’t like it. I’m supposed to like it though. I’m supposed to like everything the government forces on me. I feel like I’m the only person who doesn’t feel content with my life, everyone else seems to be perfect while I’m falling apart at the seams.

  • My Experience At The Supreme Court Of Canada

    663 Words  | 2 Pages

    First off, the Supreme Court of Canada, although not as interesting as the Elgin St. Courthouse, was very interesting nonetheless. When we had arrived at approximately 9:30 in the morning, I did not know what to expect, what I was going to see. And, as we entered the courthouse—in a single file—I could not help but chuckle at the extreme security measures, and why they were put into place. Ten minutes later, after the tour guide had finished speaking, he had asked for volunteers to be involved in the mock trial. I was hesitant at first, but I decided to play the part of the lawyer at the end. As a result, I was to defend a victim of a shoe robbery, and put my acting skills to the test. At first, I read the script word for word, but soon afterwards, I became so comfortable with the hypothetical case that, by the end, I was capable of making my own closing statement without the script. In doing so, I felt like I was in a law show, fighting off crooks and giving them their deserved punishment. As a matter of fact, at the end, the defendant and I had one the case. On the whole, the Supreme Court of Canada and the mock trial in particular enhanced my field trip courthouse experience.

  • Witness for the Prosecution

    883 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Witness for the Prosecution” superbly demonstrated a realist view of the operating procedures in a courtroom. The actors within the courtroom were easy to identify, and the steps transitioned smoothly from the arrest to the reading of the verdict. The murder trial of Leonard Vole provided realistic insight into how laws on the books are used in courtroom proceedings. With the inferior elements noted, the superior element of the court system in “Witness for the Prosecution” was the use of the adversary system. Both sides of the adversary system were flawlessly protrayed when the prosecution and defense squared off in the courtroom.

    Growing up as an only child I made out pretty well. You almost can’t help but be spoiled by your parents in some way. And I must admit that I enjoyed it; my own room, T.V., computer, stereo, all the material possessions that I had. But there was one event in my life that would change the way that I looked at these things and realized that you can’t take these things for granted and that’s not what life is about.

    I entered the jury deliberation not guilty, and I left not guilty. I remained not guilty despite the pressure from my fellow jurors to “compromise” at a second degree murder verdict (which was not a compromise from my perspective at all) or to go all the way up to a first degree murder charge. I thought that this case was an easy “not guilty.” It definitely was not.

    The night before, I went over everything again and again until it was almost perfect. The final court day, I wore a long black romper with some black tall heels. I woke up, ate a nice breakfast, and then got into my mother’s car. It felt like such a short time that I was in the car. I went inside to the courtroom and waited again for the judge. The trial lasted about ten minutes, it was short and sweet. I got off with 300 hours of community service, restitution of $3000 dollars, and probation for one year. This felt like the luckiest I've ever been, and it was such a relief. It was relieving knowing that I was going home to my family, that I'll be home for holidays, and that I’ll be able to go to

    It was a cold, wet, sunny day in New York City. I had just gotten up and looked out the window when what did I see? I saw two policemen right outside the J & L Car Care shop examine a man outside that shop. I wondered what they were doing and what that man ever did to get policemen examine him. I mean he doesn't look like a criminal. So that's when I got up from my nice and warm bed to go ask my mom or dad about what was happening out there. I went down the cold creaky steps I stepped on the first step and started to regret not putting socks on. When I got downstairs I found out that my dad had already gone to work and my mom was nowhere to be seen. So I just went up to my sister Mariyana, and asked her what was happening out there. She replied

    The Court Visitors Program brought a variety of experiences and challenges. These challenges, although sometimes overwhelming, created an opportunity for growth. While interacting with both professionals in the field and individuals within the program, I became more aware of what is put into the care of the “incapacitated.” Originally my thoughts coming into the program were very little, although I knew this program would be a great insight into a field that I am immensely interested in. Throughout the program I remained open minded about what laid ahead. Having little experience in this area I was worried about how to conduct myself during the visits. When it comes to a professional setting, my weakness is creating a conversation. Without
