Criminal Justice System Thoughts
One of the core values of the American criminal justice system is that people have a right to it. Specifically, this value denotes the fact that there should be a due process of the law for everybody -- regardless of how guilty or how allegedly guilty they are. In this respect one of the values of the U.S. criminal justice system is the fact that they system itself is above the individual. There are many countries -- paritcualrly7 those ruled by dictators or which have been ruled by dictators -- in which there are certain people and organizations that are above the underlying system of government. Such a tenet does not apply to the U.S., in which the system is more important than the individuals being tried through it. Thus, there are additional values such as the fact that people are inherently innocent until proven guilty, and that the burden of the proof frequently lies on the prosecutor to determine someone's guilt because he or she is otherwise innocent. Additionally, all of the ideological values in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights apply to the criminal justice system, and that the system is designed to facilitate the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness for others.

There are so many lawyers in the U.S. partly because of the prevalence of civil cases, in which individuals can simply sue others for monetary gain. This practice is not as prevalent in other countries as it is here, which is another reason why there are fewer lawyers in other places.
4. In my opinion, the greatest threat to the world from terrorism is the threat of a nuclear attack from countries such as North Korea, Pakistan, and Iran. Global thermonuclear annihilation has scared the world since the better part of the 20th century when the first atomic bomb was dropped. Furthermore, a nuclear attack has the power to end all of existence, and not just that in the country in which such an attack were launched. The fallout from nuclear attacks can be quite devastating and require strict vigilance on the part of international law and agencies of international law. International justice systems should prepare to respond to this threat by creating conditions in which there are nuclear weapons inspections. Such inspections are not unheard…

In principle, the United States should follow international treaties only if it is a signatory to that specific treaty. However, the Supreme Court of the United States cannot ignore international standards completely either. There are several reasons for this. The world is becoming more and more globalized.

Mandatory Minimum Sentencing Laws: Mandatory minimum sentences, which were rare in the criminal law or justice system, have experienced a remarkable increase in popularity. As a political phenomenon, the policy has enjoyed broader bi-partisan support since mid-1980s as the U.S. Congress has continued to enact new measures for containing mandatory minimum sentences. The major goal of the Mandatory Minimum Sentence Laws is basically to prevent the judicial trivialization of serious drug
