Need help with my writing homework on Adversarial and inquisitorial criminal justice. Write a 1250 word paper answering; There are two systems that are utilized in the administration of criminal justice: 1) the adversarial system (also called accusatorial), and 2) the inquisitorial system. This paper aims to present the difference between the two systems in relation but not limited to the purpose, who are the parties involved, what are role of the parties involved, and the rules involved in the criminal procedure towards the attainment of their aim.Once a crime has been committed, the criminal justice is initiated by the filing of the complaint or criminal action by the victim (called the plaintiff in the complaint) to the police or to the prosecution, against the accused (called the defendant in the complaint). The different steps or procedures undertaken from the filing of the criminal complaint, trial by the court of the case, and to the conviction or non-conviction of the plaintiff is called the criminal procedure. After the complaint has been filed, the next step in the criminal procedure depends on the country of the court where the case was filed. In England and Wales and other common law countries like the United States of America for example, criminal proceedings are sometimes referred to as an adversarial system. 1 In this system, parties to a controversy, develop and present their arguments, gather and submit evidence, call and question witnesses, and control the process within the confines of certain rules and regulations.2

On the other hand, the inquisitorial system which is employed on the continent of Europe among most (but not all) systems of civil law, the conduct of investigating the case, gathering of evidences, and questioning of witnesses is the sole responsibility of the judge of the case.3 While the judge or jury in the adversarial system is a passive recipient of information4, which means that he will only know the facts and arguments of the case during trial, the judge/s play/s much more active roles in the criminal process in the inquisitorial system that include investigating, collecting of evidences, and questioning of witnesses.5

The most striking differences between the two can be found in criminal trials. In the Anglo-American adversary system, the parties to a dispute (plaintiff and defendant), or their advocates (prosecutor and defense counsel), square off against each other and assume roles that are strictly separate and distinct from that of the decision maker that is usually a judge or a jury.6 Each party has to develop and present arguments supported by proofs. In the United States for example, the prosecutor (counsel of the state and in behalf of the plaintiff) will be the first one to present his arguments and evidences to support his arguments. His purpose is usually to prove and convince the judge that the defendant (or the accused) really committed the crime and should be penalized. After which, the defense counsel will also present his arguments and evidences to prove the innocence of his client (the defendant). After the presentation of arguments and evidences by parties, the direct examination and cross-examination follows. The prosecution and the defense counsel will have the opportunity to examine the evidences and witnesses presented by the adverse party to illicit further information and to determine the veracity and truthfulness of the evidences presented.

The adversary process is governed by strict rules of evidence and procedure that allows both sides equal opportunity to argue their cases and to ensure that the decision of the judge is based solely on the evidences presented.7 If both of the parties already rested their case, meaning when direct, redirect, and cross-examinations are over, it is where the function of the judge enters. The judge should decide based from the merits of the case presented before him, whether to convict the defendant-accused or to set him free.

Need help with my writing homework on Colombian riminal justice system. Write a 500 word paper answering; Structural Problems of the Colombian Criminal Justice System Inequality among citizens and various indigenous communities, weak governments, absenceof citizen participation in governance, widespread corruption, and an ineffective legal system have been root cause of Colombia’s problems and have strengthened criminals such as Pablo Escobar. Bowden’s statement in the book ‘Killing Pablo’ that “Its government is weak, by design and tradition. In vast regions to the south and west, and even in the mountain villages outside the major cities, live communities only lightly touched by nation, government, or law” lays open the structural deficiencies of Colombian criminal justice system.

A strong judiciary is necessary to impose the rule of law and protect the rights of citizens. Transparency and accountability are the critical factors and backbones of any criminal Justice system. However, in Colombia this institution is fundamentally and structurally weak. a large scale corruption prevalent in the system and non-transparent mode of functioning has virtually nullified the existence of these institutions. Violent political conflict, human rights transgressions, and ineffectiveness of criminal judicial system have forced the Colombians, in large scale, towards drug trafficking and helping criminals like Pablo to flourish.

Colombia’s judicial system has been used to achieve political ambition very often and inflicted with large scale corruption. Structure of Colombian Criminal Justice System is either not defined properly or it has been manipulated several times over time to make it ineffective. Judiciary commands no respect among the major branches of governance and has been the target of brutal attacks and acts of intimidation, and the government has a very poor record of ensuring the safety and security of judicial officers.

There is a strong relation between good governance and multilateral development of a country. and good governance requires a strong, transparent and unbiased criminal judicial system. Unfortunately, Colombia has not been able to achieve that. Under ‘Plan Colombia’ Colombia is trying t revive its judicial system and a separate budget was earmarked for the purpose.

Best Legal System to Prevent or Quickly Bring Criminals to Justice

Legal system based on Common Law is the best legal system that would either prevent or would quickly bring criminals such as Pablo Escobar to justice. In this system laws have their origin in the decisions in cases by judges and a legislature that passes new laws and statutes. However this legal system has several advantages for countries like Colombia where there is a prevalent corruption and integrity of legislature is often questioned with serious concerns.

Politicians and member of legislature in Colombia have routinely manipulated legal frameworks to their advantages. Adoption of common law legal system in Colombia will help in restraining the power of legislature as common law system do not allow legislature to amend a collected and codified body of law. It will help in building people’s confidence in governance. With the adoption of common law based legal system it will also be necessary to ensure that the judiciary is strengthened beyond doubt of partisan and corruption.

Such a system based on common law will be compatible with the U.S. criminal justice system as U.S. legal system (excluding Louisiana) is based on common law. It will also be compatible to legal systems of major countries around world such as United Kingdom, Australia, India, South Africa, Canada etc. where doctrine of precedent by courts plays a major role in formulation of laws.

Need help with my writing homework on City in Europe. Write a 1750 word paper answering; Another inspiring memorial collection is the catalogue of the Wall postcards2. The theme is present even in popular movies such as Good Bye Lenin!: in one of the episodes, the protagonist tries to find “these exact Soviet cucumbers” for his mother who lives in her memories about GDR3. This trend of missing the atmosphere of Eastern Germany has acquired a common name ‘Ostalgia’ that has also been the name of the exhibition of “the work of more than fifty artists from twenty countries across Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Republics”4 once. It is difficult to ignore such conspicuous numbers of artifacts.

What, then, is witnessed by all these silent bricks and gloomy postcards? The fall of the Berlin Wall was not merely a local event: it marked a significant transition in the world history. Before the analysis of the wall’s significance, it is important to describe how everything happened.

With the ‘Ostalgic’ sentiment for small and beautiful things in mind, it might be surprising how fierce Berliners once attacked the wall. In November of 1989, when the checkpoints of the borderline were opened, people started climbing the wall from both east and west sides, often behaving violently: they threw the stones and bottles on the wall’s guards, cried out, and smashed the wall with sledgehammers and jackhammers5. At the same time, the atmosphere was cheerful, with street art, jokes, and family reunions6. The overall impression of the event is aptly described by Taylor: “It will be followed by the biggest, wildest street party the world has ever seen”7. All the sources list November 9-10, 1989, as the date of the wall falling: however, technically, this was not true. As one of the reporters of the time observed, “Physically the Berlin wall still stands. But its capacity to divide a country and a Continent seems at an end”8.
