Borden Italian Department Bachelor of Arts This thesis examines the constitutional guarantees of impartiality granted in both the United States and Italian constitutions. Aided by the presentation of these two constitutional legal systems, this paper will attempt to break apart the elements of each system and point out key differences. By pointing out the differences in these systems including variations in their founding documents, the structure of the courts, the role of the judges, the role of the advocates, and the role of other key players, this paper will show that while individual cases in both countries are exposed to multiple biases throughout the legal process, in the end justice is given impartially.

Carter; Dan MacMedan/Getty Images Three-time best costume Oscar nominee Ruth E. Carter (whose career has spanned over 35 years and 40 films) brought in a well-deserved first win at the 91st Academy Awards on Feb. 24 for her Afrofuturistic designs in Ryan Coogler’s blockbuster film Black Panther. 1/10 Carter is the first black woman to win this award and was previously nominated for her work in Spike Lee’s Malcolm X (1992) and Steven Spielberg’s Amistad (1997). "I have gone through so much to get here!” Carter told The Hollywood Reporter by email. “At times the movie industry can be pretty unkind. But it is about sticking with it, keeping a faith and growing as an artist. This award is for resilience and I have to say that feels wonderful!" To create over 700 costumes for Black Panther, Carter oversaw teams in Atlanta and Los Angeles, as well as shoppers in Africa.

    Turning the Camera on Court TV: Does Televising Trials Teach Us Anything About the Real Law?

    Turning the Camera on Court TV: Does Televising Trials Teach Us Anything About the Real Law? ANGELIQUE M. PAUL* I. INTRODUCTION What people think about the law is important because ours is a "public opinion" society, "which makes heavy use of referenda, and in which government does not lift a finger or move a muscle without reading the tea leaves of public desire."' The public's perception of justice influences the courts, the laws, the judges, and essentially the democratic process. So what influences the public's perception of justice? Television. For the majority of Americans, television is the most important source of information, and for many it is the only source of information. 2 This is particularly true when it comes to gathering information about the law. Because the majority of Americans have had no personal experience with the legal system,3 and because the majority of Americans get their information about the world solely from television, 4 the portrayal of justice on television is extremely important not only to the continued viability of the legal system, but also to the individual's understanding of that system. Studies indicate that the * The author would like to thank her parents, David and Lynda Paul, for their unconditional love and support. I David A.

Haygood’s topic is “A Legal Giant, a Butler, and a King.” Best known as the author of the New York Times bestseller The Butler: A Witness to History, Wil Haygood is a distinguished writer whose career has spanned decades. He was an associate producer on the film adaptation of his book, The Butler, which was sparked from his Washington Post article. The movie featured performances by Academy Award winners Forest Whittaker, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Robin Williams, Vanessa Redgrave and Jane Fonda and Oprah Winfrey. He worked for 30 years at two newspapers (The Boston Globe and The Washington Post); during that time, he witnessed Nelson Mandela’s release after 27 years of imprisonment, was taken hostage by Somalian rebels, covered New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina for 33 straight days without a break, traveled with Barack Obama, and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. Translated into over a dozen languages, The Butler: A Witness to History, is the story of Eugene Allen, the White House butler who served U.S. presidents from Harry Truman to Ronald Reagan. Allen’s time as a butler led him to become a “discreet stage hand who for three decades helped keep the show running in the most important political theatre of all.” The Butler book received the following honors: Ohioana Book Award, the Scribes Book Award and a BCALA Literary Award, finalist for an NAACP Image Award, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, an Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence and the Benjamin Hooks National Book Award.
