  • OREGON's Juridical Small Sacrifices US Top Model Case of Professional Judicial Ethics Regarding (Elizabeth) Diane Downs Synopsis by Franz Kurz (March 2016)
    OREGON's Juridical Small Sacrifices US Top Model Case of Professional Judicial Ethics regarding (Elizabeth) Diane Downs Synopsis by Franz Kurz (March 2016) This case is riddled with judicial misconduct and legal error. To date the facts of this case have not come to light in an unbiased court of law. This synopsis provides oversight to this claim. 1) State's procedures, and involved authorities a) Code of Professional Conduct: According to Article IV of the Oregon Constitution, the Governor appoints vacancies in Circuit Court Judges, Court of Appeals Judges, Supreme Court Justices, Justices of the Peace, and District Attorneys. As early as three weeks after the crime (May 1983) in which one child died and Ms. Downs, although having been shot herself, took her injured children to the hospital, Juvenile Court Judge Gregory Foote took these children from Diane Downs and their grandparents and placed them in questionable state care. There they stayed until a year later that self- same Judge Foote had been transferred to the Criminal Court and thereupon took on that criminal case as his first case on his new job, although it represented a conflict of interest, and a violation of the legal integrity of a civilized country. Own annotation: From the notorious People's Court (Volksgerichtshof) in German’s past: With almost no exceptions, cases in the People's Court had predetermined guilty verdicts. Considering the fact that Judge Gregory Foote meets the requirements of the above judicial code, he should have disqualify himself of this case but did not. This conflict of interest has prevented this case from going forward in a lawful manner.

    FIRSTNAME MIDDLEINITIAL LASTNAME TITLE AFFILIATION TITLESUBMISSION ABSTRACT Those who have been in academe for any length of time have encountered difficulties inspiring students (both undergraduate and graduate) to conduct research. The very term ?research?, instills fear in many students. ?The only way to get students over the fear of research is to demystify it by integrating research at all levels of teaching? (Project Information Literacy, 2011). This roundtable is for the purpose of sharing ideas and techniques designed to inspire student involvement in research. Sami Abdel-Salam Dr. West Chester University of Pennsylvania Inspiring Student Research Social Justice, in the United States, is a concept that has, at its core, the equalization of many relationships in American society that are the manifestations of American cultural patterns. Equalization signifies the creation of parity. Parity reflects sameness in value and worth, and equalization indicates an acknowledgement of that sameness in all areas of social participation in a social setting governed by socially accepted norms. Equality is the name of that creation. It is a concept central to relations between all people. Social Justice and Police Work: A Need for Police to Apply Equitable The question is: Does Social Justice entail a legislative restructuring; or, is the Bakhitah B Abdul-Ra'uf Dr. Radford University Principles. process one of the need for police to apply equitable principles? Egyptian people were forced to adapt to the stresses created by the sociopolitical changes of the Arab Spring and the nation?s transition from the Mubarak regime to the Morsy regime. Qualitative research conducted in Alexandria, Egypt during the summer of 2013 explored women?s perceptions of daily stresses and events.
