    Candidate Hecht Case Summary

    Candidate Hecht delivered an incomplete brief. SNC was nervous and unsure of the information he was relaying to his team. This uncertainty was displayed through him constantly repeating himself stumbling or stuttering and briefing the order out of sequence. SNC’s orientation simply stated that his team was located on MCB Quantico, Brown Field. SCN briefed his friendly situation in conjunction with the beginning of his mission statement. SNC failed to brief the entirety of the coordinating instructions. His brief as a whole lacked the structure of a five paragraph order. SNC lacked confidence and due to the lack of information, his order did not completely make sense. Prior to execution, SNC did not establish a plan which made it difficult for…

    A Civil Action V. Jan Schlichtmann

    In the movie, A Civil Action, the plaintiff’s case commenced when a group of various parents and families suspected that the health related issues and deaths in their city of Woburn was the result of contaminated water. Although the attorney, Jan Schlichtmann, was reluctant to take the case at first because they didn’t have plausible cause “who is going to apologize to you when you don’t know who did it and pay me” [1], he perceived that 2 corporations sat on the border of the river. Mr. Schlichtmann and his firm thus took the case and filed a major lawsuit, which stated that that the two corporations, W.R Grace and Beatrice Foods, caused wrongful deaths due to the dumping of hazardous waste.”Lawsuits are a declaration of war. They begin the same way: with a complaint” [1]. The…

    Justice Hecht Summary

    One of the issues that Justice Hecht presented is that veterans aren’t getting the basic civil legal services. In other words, when servicemen and women come back home from the military, they are having a hard time finding a job, paying off debt, having their family struggling, and benefits delayed. Hecht has presented that since many veterans are facing this problem when they return home, sometimes these veterans commit suicide by struggling from economic problems. The Supreme Court requested $4 million to help provide legal aid to veterans since many veterans are facing legal problems which they cannot afford lawyers. The Texas Veterans Commission has reviewed the Court’s request and in return they provided $1.5 million for legal aid and…

    John Brown In The History Court's Trial

    In the History Court’s trial of John Brown, the jury found him to be guilty. John Brown was deemed guilty of being morally unjustified for an insurrection. This insurrection was the killing of several slave owners and their families, and the starting of a slave uprising. The Prosecution made several key points. Their first witness, William Wilberforce, was able to nonviolently stop the slave trade in Britain. Through his use of nonviolence, many people followed him. William stated that it was worth it, although it may have taken longer than if he had used violence. He said that if the process had been faster, people would’ve had to die. The Prosecution’s second witness, Levi Coffin, was an abolitionist and the president of the Underground…
