n. Latin for «remark», a comment by a judge in a decision or decision that is not necessary to make the decision, but which may indicate a related principle of law, as the judge hears it. Although it can be cited in legal arguments, it does not have the full force of a precedent (previous judicial decisions or interpretations) because the commentary was not part of the legal basis of the judgment. The standard counter-argument is, «It`s just a saying (or dictation).» In the United States, legislators, judges, administrative agencies, governors, and presidents draft laws, with significant input from corporations, lobbyists, and a diverse group of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) such as the American Petroleum Institute, the Sierra Club, and the National Rifle Association. In all fifty states, judges are often appointed by governors or elected by the people. The process of electing state judges has become increasingly politicized over the past fifteen years, with increasing contributions to the campaign of those who would attempt to appoint judges with similar political leanings. In the federal system, judges are appointed by an elected representative (the President) and confirmed by other elected representatives (the Senate). If the president belongs to one party and the other party holds the majority of seats in the Senate, political conflicts may arise during the procedures for the confirmation of judges. Such a split has been quite common over the past fifty years. n. 1) Fairness. 2) moral rectitude.

3) a legal system or system in which each person receives his or her due dates from the system, including all rights, both natural and legal. One of the problems is that lawyers, judges and legislators are often more involved in proceedings than in obtaining justice for all. Example: The term «delayed justice is deprived of justice» refers to cumbersome procedures, lack of sufficient courts, congestion of the system with unfounded cases, and use of courts to resolve issues that could be resolved through negotiation. The imbalance between the judicial privileges that lawyers receive for the rich and for the person with modest means, the use of delays and «snowstorms» of useless paper by large law firms and judges who fail to break through the undergrowth of the procedure, undermine justice. (4) an appellate judge, the Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the United States Supreme Court, a member of a federal court of appeals, and a judge of one of the various state courts of appeals.

In a nation, the law can be used to (1) maintain peace, (2) maintain the status quo, (3) defend individual rights, (4) protect minorities from majorities, (5) promote social justice, and (6) ensure orderly social change.

Some jurisdictions serve these purposes better than others. While a nation led by an authoritarian government can maintain peace and the status quo, it can also oppress minorities or political opponents (e.g., Burma, Zimbabwe, or Iraq under Saddam Hussein). Under colonialism, European nations often imposed peace in countries whose borders were created somewhat arbitrarily by the same European nations. Several centuries before the twentieth century, empires were built by Spain, Portugal, Great Britain, Holland, France, Germany, Belgium and Italy. As for the functions of the law, the Empire may have maintained peace – largely by force – but it changed the status quo and rarely promoted indigenous rights or social justice within the colonized nation. $41.95 Free Shipping Format: Book – Softbound Brand: Thomson West Copyright: 2021 ISBN: 9781731931610 Law is a word that means different things at different times.
