then it's nothing. Though in other countries there are huge sums what civilians get from companies. A former female police officer was awarded an estimated £1,000,000 in a package, after complaining of bullying and sexual and racial harassment. For instance I think it's absolutely ridiculous to get a million for that. I think many people have suffered much more and would deserve much more. But that all concludes in people's ego. It's the side that people get greedy. At that moment lawyers step into play. They have helped create a world in which dissatisfaction leads to blame. Most victims of legal harassment will settle with money in order to avoid a lengthy and expensive trial. The defendant, however vast they may become, will be carried by his or her lawyer, working for a share of the profits. The ,,ambulance chasing" lawyers who are involved in this sort of legal chicanery get rich because when they win they can win simply billions. Innocent defendants know
use/have had any interaction with legal English? Well, I, myself, apart from learning it in this class, have never, but many others have. Legal English dates back to thousands of years and it is an essential part of law. Lately, in some cases, legalese has been smoothly replaced with plain language and for some it is unacceptable. So, why use legal English when there is already plain language that can be used instead? Body 1: Firstly, we all like to follow traditions, right? So do most lawyers. You know Latin was and is important for English law, the practice of using Latin word versus in case names (for "against") still occurs daily. Why change something that has been used and appreciated for thousands of years? Law is known for it's conservatism and legalese might have maintained so well because many lawyers have learned it's value and feel special to be one of the few who can understand it. Secondly, legal language includes some very complex linguistic
I hope you don't mind and you will have a time to respond to the letter. I have heard that there is a weird and wonderful musical instrument called a didgeridoo. Did you saw it? How it looks? And how they play it? I'll like if you will talk to me about it. It seems a very interesting instrument. Australins have a strong sense of humour and I have read that they will tell anti-English jokes to the English, anti-lawyer jokes to the lawyers and anti- mother-in-law jokes to mothers-in-law. Is is true? Did Australians laugh about you? They are very easy-going by nature. They put a high value on their leisure time. I hope that when I go to Australia, I will see kangaroos and koalas. I have seen they only in Zoo, not in nature. Did you see any animals in nature? Do you know that the cutest animal spends 80% of its time asleep in eucalyptus tree? I didn't know it before.

Evidence – proof Criminal law – part of the legal system that relates to punishing people who break the law To be guilty – responsible for breaking a law Wrongdoer – a person who does something bad or illegal Crime – an action that is illegal To commit a crime – to do something illegal Beyond reasonable doubt – no other explanation can be derived from the evidence other than that the defendant committed a crime Prosecution – the lawyers in a court case who represent the side that accuses someone of committing a crime Evidence – proof The purpose of the criminal courts is to determine whether the accused person has actually committed a crime and to punish the wrongdoer. There has to be a balance between the need to protect the society and the need to ensure that only the guilty are punished. In a criminal court the burden of proof is on the prosecution to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the

He was member of the famous lawyer company. He knows the historical background to various more than anyone else in England. People said Mr. Treves ought to write his memoirs. Mr. TREVES knew better.

He says that there’s no school, where kid could study arts as much as math. In Estonia, we have schools where are classes specialized of some certain subjects like folk dances, gymnastics, different languages, art and so on. Still it isn’t like that in every school, even not in every class in this certain school. Ken admits, that right now we are tought to be university proffessors. I must agree with him, cause if we’re not taught to be proffessors then doctors or lawyers. But there’s so many different specialitiesthat needs to be filled. Many of them are the ones most of us don’t want to work with. Not because they don’t like them, but because the others stigmatize it. Theese are not the subjects you could study about in the university. But even in pre-school you’re directed to learn as well as you can to go to university one day. Teachers want kids to be right all the time. But when they don’t have chance to be

The poorer skilled workers tried to join together, these were the first efforts to form a trade union. ,,Factories" in different places in Europe. Wages rose faster than the prices, but signs of future social & econimic crisis (more sheep, less foof crops, fences). In the 15th cent. A new middle class in towns was developing. Most merchants were well educated, considered themselves equals of the esquires & gentlemen of the countryside. The lawyers were another class of city people. In London they were considered equal in importance to the big merchants & clots manufacturers. By the end of the Middle Ages the more successful of these lawyers, merchants, clots manufacturers, exporters, esquires, gentlemen and yeomen farmers were forming a class of people with interests in both ton & country. This was also true in Wales & Scotland. This class was literate. Created a new atmosphere. Questioned the way in which the
"Brand X" melodic instruments would not keep another person from enrolling "Brand X" pharmaceuticals. Michael Buffer initially trademarked his "How about we Get Ready to Rumble" under a class that applies to declaring sports and stimulation occasions. He has since spread out to get trademarks for different things, as videogames and dress. At the point when "How about we Get Ready to Rumble" has been utilized without permit, Buffer's lawyers have contended that their utilization made a wrong impression that he was related with the clients. In their claim against Oliver North, they asserted North's utilization of a chronicle of his declaration unjustifiably connected him with a figure with a "disputable notoriety." Buffer's advancement materials state he has "achieved overall acknowledgment and affirmation as the source" of the expression. "'How about we Get Ready to Rumble'" is in excess of five words

However, he steals from his master.

literature than the standard dialect. The questions regarding this topic have also been touched upon earlier in the lessons: how is one to translate the language of someone of the lower classes in England into Estonian? Since we don’t have social classes, could lower class English just be translated into the language of the less educated? Similar examples could also be brought with regard to the language of smaller social groupings – slave language, IT people, lawyers, single mothers, etc. Some languages might not have any similar social/cultural group language variety that the SL uses. Language use: Tenor- Tenor is used to describe the relationship of the text producer to the text receiver – whether the relationship is close (e.g. between friends) or is there social distance (e.g. between professor and student, boss and employer, or child and parent in some societies).

Highest class was aristocracy (the Church and the nobility); the middle class/the bourgeoisie (shopkeepers, merchants, lawyers, businessmen etc.) was the biggest class; and the lowest class "the working class" and "the poor"; new change was the upward mobility people could become richer and move upward in social classes (to higher class); huge boost of the middle and working class; after industrial revolution there was still social division; late 18th century philosophers and writers started to question the social status of the nobility · What were the reasons behind upward mobility?

several sides, including that it may be communication and not layers that truly matters in a network society, and that the principle of subsidiarity actually requires a hierarchical organizational set-up. (See Drechsler 2005b) The Neo-Weberian State And yet, of course there are legitimate problems with many a bureaucracy, there are still very self-centered administrations that hinder economic development rather than fostering it, there is the frequent legalistic domination of PA and of lawyers within the civil service that is preventing a problem-solving approach, and there are organizational changes and other shifts in public life that distance us from the Twenties. But the Weberian system has actually (been) adapted to them very successfully, as Continental PA always has.

Studying to be a lawyer represents the fulfilment of one of my longest held dreams. Whatever I could do as a lawyer to help people who are victimised by unscrupulous businessmen, as well as their own ignorance of the law, would give me a great satisfaction. The duty of the lawyer is not only to punish people for various crimes: from espionage to serial murder and terrorism, but they must do their best to prevent crimes, to fight against evil in our society. The lawyers should help those people, who committed an error (broke the law) to find the right road in their life. Judges can hand down a death sentence for murder in our country. I feel strongly that the death sentence should be abolished. The lawyers protect the rights and legal interests of citizens, institutions and organisations. I want to help people, businesses to solve their problems, I want to help everybody to know the rules that we all have to get along
Many aboriginal people were killed during the settlement of Australia. The aborigines that were left were made to live on in special areas, reservations, that the government set aside for them. One of these was at Lake Tyers, Victoria. Many church groups set up missions, to both look after the aborigines, and to 3 convert them to Christianity. With the help of aboriginal lawyers, aboriginal Australians have battled to get some of their land back. In 1976, the Australian government agreed that aboriginal people have rights to their tribal territories, and some land was given back. On 3 June, 1992, the High Court of Australia said that the idea of "Terra nullius" was wrong, and the government brought in new laws, to set up Native Title. If aborigines can prove they have always used particular land, it has not been sold, or changed by
On the day that an order was made committing him for trial, the applicant was abducted by French policemen, served with a deportation order (which was over one month old) and forcibly taken to the Swiss border where he was handed to the Swiss authorities. Following proceedings in Switzerland, he was extradited to Italy, under a standing agreement between the two countries, where he was imprisoned for the conviction by the Italian courts. After his abduction, the applicant's lawyers pursued various remedies in the French courts, including the summoning of the Minister of the Interior before the Paris tribunal de grande instance where they sought an injunction requiring him to apply for the applicant's return. Although the tribunal held that it had no competence to meet the request, it noted the `manifest and very serious irregularities' behind what appeared `not a straightforward expulsion on the basis of the deportation order, but ..
De Tocqueville, in earlier work on the French Revolution, had explained how it was the printed word that, achieving cultural saturation in the eighteenth century, had homogenized the French nation. Frenchmen were the same kind of people from north to south. The typographic principles of uniformity, continuity, and lineality had overlaid the complexities of ancient feudal and oral society. The Revolution was carried out by the new literati and lawyers. In England, however, such was the power of the ancient oral traditions of common law, backed by the medieval institution of Parliament, that no uniformity or continuity of the new visual print culture could take complete hold. The result was that the most important event in English history has never taken place; namely, the English Revolution on the lines of the French Revolution. The American Revolution had no medieval legal institutions to discard or to root out, apart from monarchy
Nor did Locke or Pufendorf; yet they did adopt his stipulation that 'a right' (jus) is paradigmatically a liberty.14 Their successors are those who today defend the 'choice' theory of rights, which as we saw in the preceding section is one eligible way ofaccounting for most, but not all, of the modern grammar of rights. And even those who defend the 'benefit' theory of rights are far from using the idiom of Aquinas, since (in common with ordinary language-speakers and lawyers in all modern languages) they think of 'a right' as something beneficial which a person has (a 'moral [including legal] quality' in Grotius's terminology), rather than 'that which is just in a given situation', the ensemble of juridical relationships established, by rules, between two or more persons in relation to some subject-matter (act, thing, or state of affairs). 12 Leviathan (1651), ch. xiv; in Raphael (ed.), British Moralists, vol. 1, para. 56. Thus, for Hobbes
handy excuse for the doctor's failings in everyday practice: Anything he couldn't cure was obviously the result of sorcery. The distinction between ,,female" superstition and ,,male" medicine was made final by the very role of the doctor and the witch at the trial. The trial in one stroke established the male physician on a moral and intellectual plane vastly above the female healer he was called to judge. It placed him on the side of God and Law, a professional on par with lawyers and theologians, while it placed her on the side of darkness, evil and magic. The Trials In many parts of Europe people accused of witchcraft were tortured until they 'confessed'. Obviously if you were tortured you would probably 'confess' to anything to stop the torture. However torture was not used in England and after 1594 it was not used in Holland, (which is probably one reason why there were fewer executions for witchcraft there)

the noble families who had been `selected' in a list of the eligible. Although jealously guarding their privileges, the knighthoods still never became entirely closed. Between sessions of a Diet, the legislative power of the knighthoods belonged to the Council of the Diet. The towns were governed by the Town Councils, which supplemented their ranks from among the representatives of merchants and lawyers. The citizens and the inhabitants of a town did not coincide -- most of the population had no civic rights. The lower class mainly consisted of Estonians. While an special status secured the supremacy of the Baltic knighthood and the German upper classes in towns, it considerably aggravated the legal and social situation of Estonians. It can be said that the pre-nationhood Landesstaat, with its strict social structure, effectively prevented Estonians from becoming Germans.

under normal circumstances. Unconsciously they both want the accident to happen. The role of pain-bodies in traffic accidents is most obvious in the phenomenon called “road rage,” when drivers become physically violent often over a trivial matter such as someone in front of them driving too slowly. Man acts of violence are committed by “normal” people who temporarily turn into maniacs. All over the world at court proceedings you hear the defense lawyers say, “This is totally out of character,” and the accused, “I don't know what came over me.” To my knowledge so far, no defense lawyer has said to the judge – although the day may not be far off - “This is a case of diminished responsibility. My client's pain-body was activated, and he did not know what he was doing. In fact, he didn't do it. His pain-body did.” Does this mean that people are not responsible for what they do when possessed by the pain-body
