Non-Unified Court System

516 Words3 Pages

As an advisor for state government I believe that state court unification is in the best interest for the state due to bring the court system together. The separately run court system in our state needs to become unified. I think that having a court system that is connected together on the level of being even will help evaluate the concept of being one. The court system now has specific groups dedicated to certain aspects of the laws. Having specific groups dedicated caused overlaps to happen when in court and is an issue that non-unified court systems have. A non-unified court system would allow judges to have the power to deal whatever sentence or punishment they wanted. In the courtroom next to them they could have the same issue going

    The federal court system of the United States has three main levels. First are the district courts, the circuit courts which are the first level of appeal, and then the Supreme Court of the United States.

  • The Constrained Court

    429 Words  | 2 Pages

    Courts prove unsuccessful in achieving social change due to the constraints on the court’s power. Rosenburg’s assessment that courts are “an institution that is structurally challenged” demonstrates the Constrained Court view. In this view, the Court’s lack of judicial independence, inability to implement policies, and the limited nature of constitutional rights inhibit courts from producing real social reform. For activists to bring a claim to court, they must frame their goal as a right guaranteed by the constitution, leading to the courts hearing less cases (Rosenburg 11). The nature of the three branches also creates a system of checks and balances in which Congress or the executive branch can reverse a controversial decision, rendering the Court’s impact void.

  • Centralized Vs Decentralized Probation

    294 Words  | 2 Pages

    Probation services were first established in 1927. Since then, the system has changed tremendously with developing both centralized and decentralized models. Centralized probation is designed to give authority to the state for probation activities using a state wide administrative body whereas the decentralized model uses agencies administrated by a city or county thereby making it more flexible and better able to respond to incidents. In my opinion, I believe that the decentralized model would work best due to the fact that it would be a lot easier with probation being run by local officials who have a better understanding of the needs of the community and who may be better at assisting people on probation with turning their lives around. Centralized probation from my understanding has too many people involved in the court system to adequately monitor them therefore making it easier for the person on probation to repeat criminal behavior.

    Specialized Courts Specialized courts are commonly known as the problem-solving courts that promote positive reinforcement, support behavior modification, decrease victimization, and reduce recidivism. Examples of specialized courts include drug court and mental health courts. A community might benefit from establishing a specialized court such as a drug court because it follows a comprehensive model that concentrates on reducing criminal actions through treatment and rehabilitation services with the focus being on substance abuse addiction and identifying the cause without jeopardizing public safety and due process (Specialized Courts, 2013).
