Gamble Chief Judge of the Fifth Judicial District of Iowa November 18, 2016 A. Introduction. “Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain.” This familiar motto is inscribed on the Great Seal and State flag of Iowa. In the State of Iowa and in the County of Polk, our rights and liberties as freedom loving Americans are maintained and preserved in our county courthouse. In Iowa and throughout the United States, the courthouse is the seat of county government and the place of holding court in the county. It sits prominently in the town center where the social, economic, and political values of the county converge. The courthouse is the place where citizens participate directly in their government through their interaction with the Iowa Judicial Branch. The courthouse is the transcendent symbol of liberty and democracy in the county, in the state and in our country. The courthouse is the epicenter of truth and justice in the community. It is the place where civil disputes between citizens are resolved, children are protected from abuse, crime victims are vindicated and the constitutional rights of the accused are maintained. Ultimately, the courthouse stands as an anchor of stability, dignity and ceremony for the people of the county.

  • “Clean Hands” Doctrine
    Announcing the “Clean Hands” Doctrine T. Leigh Anenson, J.D., LL.M, Ph.D.* This Article offers an analysis of the “clean hands” doctrine (unclean hands), a defense that traditionally bars the equitable relief otherwise available in litigation. The doctrine spans every conceivable controversy and effectively eliminates rights. A number of state and federal courts no longer restrict unclean hands to equitable remedies or preserve the substantive version of the defense. It has also been assimilated into statutory law. The defense is additionally reproducing and multiplying into more distinctive doctrines, thus magnifying its impact. Despite its approval in the courts, the equitable defense of unclean hands has been largely disregarded or simply disparaged since the last century. Prior research on unclean hands divided the defense into topical areas of the law. Consistent with this approach, the conclusion reached was that it lacked cohesion and shared properties. This study sees things differently. It offers a common language to help avoid compartmentalization along with a unified framework to provide a more precise way of understanding the defense. Advancing an overarching theory and structure of the defense should better clarify not only when the doctrine should be allowed, but also why it may be applied differently in different circumstances.

  • 11-21578 OTI Blum.Qxd
    April 2007 Se Habla Lawsuit? By Edward Blum Though an understanding of English is a requirement for U.S. citizenship, Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act mandates that “language assistance” be available to voters in districts with non-native speaker popula- tions that meet certain criteria. The enforcement of Section 203, however, costs taxpayers tens of thou- sands of dollars, and there is no evidence it helps non-native speakers vote. The experiences of Springfield, Massachusetts, illustrate these problems. “A City of Homes . A City for Business . Springfield, like hundreds of other towns and On the Issues A City Rich with History and Multi-cultural counties around the country, is subject to Section Diversity”—so reads the motto of Springfield, 203 of the Voting Rights Act because, among Massachusetts (pop. 150,000), halfway between many other complex criteria, more than 5 percent New York and Boston.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ET AL., Defendants-Appellees. No. 17-3221 Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 17 C 3417—Amy J. St. Eve, Judge. Before: WOOD, Chief Judge, MANION, and ROVNER, Circuit Judges. WOOD, Chief Judge. Kenneth Mayle, an adherent of what he calls non- theistic Satanism, sued the United States and officials from the United States Mint, Department of the Treasury, and Bureau of Engraving and Printing, to enjoin the printing of the national motto, "In God We Trust," on United States currency. The district court dismissed his complaint, and we affirm. App. 2a Mayle asserts that the motto amounts to a gov- ernment endorsement of a "monotheistic concept of God." Because Satanists practice a religion that rejects monotheism, they regard the motto as "an attack on their very right to exist." Possessing and using currency, Mayle complains, forces him (and his fellow Satanists) to affirm and spread a religious message "committed to the very opposite ideals that he es- pouses." In addition, Mayle characterizes the printing of the motto as a form of discrimination against adher- ents to minority religions because it favors practition- ers of monotheistic religions.

  • Blue Sky White Stars by Sarvinder Naberhaus
    INSTRUCTIONS APRIL 2021 Blue Sky White Stars by Sarvinder Naberhaus Book Synopsis: Blue Sky White Stars by Sarvinder Naberhaus and illustrated by Kadir Nelson is a simple, yet powerful story celebrating the United States and the American flag. Using words pulled from patriotic materials, the beautiful illustrations help tell a variety of stories from across the nation. A recorded reading of this book is available here. Connection to Iowa History During World War I, Iowa National Guardsmen recognized the need for an official state flag, as Iowa did not have a state flag to fly. A flag design submitted by Dixie Cornell Gebhardt, of Knoxville, was chosen in a contest held by the Iowa Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The design was adopted as the official state flag on March 29, 1921. The original flag design and a portrait of Dixie Cornell Gebhart are held in the collection of the State Historical Museum of Iowa.

  • Fraudulent Financial Reporting Practices: Case Study of Satyam Computer Limited
    Madan Lal Bhasin, / Journal of Economics, Marketing, and Management 4(3), pp.12-24. ISSN: 2288-7709 © 2016 EABEA. http://www.icma.or.kr doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13106/jemm.2016.vol4.no3.12 Fraudulent Financial Reporting Practices: Case Study of Satyam Computer Limited Madan Lal Bhasin Professor, School of Accountancy, College of Business, Universiti Utara Malaysia, Sintok, Kedah Darul Aman, Malaysia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Fraudulent financial reporting practices can have significant consequences for organizations and all stakeholders, as well as, for public confidence in the capital and security markets. In fact, comprehensive, accurate and reliable financial reporting is the bedrock upon which our markets are based. Keen to project a rosy picture of the Satyam to investors, employees and analysts, Mr. Raju (CEO and Chairman) fudged the account books so that it appeared to be a far bigger enterprise, with high profits and fast growth rate, than it actually was. The Satyam fraud has shattered the dreams of different categories of investors, shocked the government and regulators alike, and led to questioning of the accounting practices of statutory auditors and corporate governance norms in India. This is an exploratory study based on secondary sources of information. An attempt has been made to provide an explanation for various intriguing questions about Satyam scam. After thorough investigations by the CBI and SEBI, they have unveiled the methodology by which Satyam fraud was engineered. Finally, we recommend “Fraudulent reporting practices should be considered as a serious crime, and accounting bodies, courts and other regulatory authorities in India need to adopt very strict punitive measures to stop such unethical practices.” Keywords: Fraudulent Financial Reporting Practices, Satyam Computer, Modus-Operandi, Financial Statements, Corporate Governance, Auditors, Forensic Accounting, Corporate Culture and Ethics, SEBI, SFIO, CID, India.
