Finally, in Mainor, the clients claimed that their attorney conspired to deprive their son of his money and as a result he received insufficient compensation. Mainor v. Nault, 101 P.3d 308, 310 (Nev. 2004). They allege their attorney violated the rules of professional conduct. Id. The court in Mainor stated that “An attorney's violation of professional rules of responsibility does not create a private right of action, but is relevant to the standard of care owed by an attorney.”…
The Sixth amendment guarantees that “in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.” However, originally most people handled their own cases, though some sought the advice of the small pool of attorneys. Even when lawyers were present, they were only required to appear in court. Now, attorneys are required to be involved from the time the defendant is questioned by law enforcement. However, some people cannot afford to pay for an attorney to act in their best interest.…
In the United States criminal justice system, the prosecutor has the obligation for deciding what and how crimes will be prosecuted. The “legal system has traditionally accorded wide discretion to criminal prosecutors in the enforcement process”. As long as “the prosecutor has probable cause to believe that the accused committed an offense defined by statute, the decision whether or not to prosecute and what charge to file or bring before a grand jury, rests entirely in his discretion”. Granted with such discretion, state attorneys heavily rely upon victims in criminal cases as sources of information and have the ability to use such information in their decision-making.…

Allen v. State, 218 S.W.3d 905, 910 (Tex. App.—Beaumont 2006, no pet.). For example, if a witness testifies to a defendant’s “good character,” the State may inquire about the witness’s knowledge of prior acts tending to contradict that opinion. Id. (holding defendant’s violation of a protective order and assault were relevant to the witness’s good character opinion). Such an inquiry is not necessarily limited to direct examination, and a defendant may open the door to prior felony convictions during cross-examination. See Williams v. State, No. 04-02-00013-CR, 2003 Tex. App. LEXIS 2489, at *8-9 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Mar. 26, 2003, pet. ref’d)…
The right to remain silent is located in Fifth Amendment, and the right to have a presence of attorney is located in the Sixth Amendment of the constitution. The Supreme Court ended up ruling that it was unconstitutional to undertake the interrogation without the warning of the rights secured by the Fifth Amendment. Additionally, the court stated that they must protect the individual from the desire to self-incriminate ("Miranda v."). The court created the Miranda Warning which is as follows: "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.…
Supreme Court, in reviewing the standard set in Miranda, held that a “[l]awyer occupies a critical position in our legal system because of his unique ability to protect the Fifth Amendment rights of a client undergoing custodial interrogation. Because of this special ability of the lawyer to help the client preserve his Fifth Amendment rights once the client becomes enmeshed in the adversary process, the Court found that "the right to have counsel present at the interrogation is indispensable to the protection of the Fifth Amendment privilege under the system" established by the Court. Id. at 384 U. S. 469. “Moreover, the lawyer's presence helps guard against overreaching by the police and ensures that any statements actually obtained are accurately transcribed for presentation into evidence.” Id. at 384 U. S.…
What exactly is white privilege, one might say? White privilege is knowing that one has unearned privilege but choose to ignore the meaning of it. " White Privilege Shapes the U.S" by Robert Jensen, first appeared in the Baltimore Sun on July 19, 1998. In this editorial, Jensen speaks about his personal experience on white privilege and how being white can give them more unearned privilege than those of other races. Furthermore, Jensen states that unearned white privilege was given rather than by working hard for it, but faces the choice on how they use it, and to admit they have benefitted from it.…

Arizona, which ruled that the inculpatory and exculpatory evidence brought against a defendant at trial is only admissible if the defendant has been informed of his right against self-incrimination as well as his right to consult with an attorney. This Supreme Court decision was brought about by the conviction of Ernesto Miranda, who provided a confession to police without being informed of his right to counsel and his right to remain silent. The Arizona State Supreme Court upheld the conviction, but the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that because he had not been informed of his rights, his rights had not been properly upheld. The key to this decision is the distinction between an informed waiving of those rights, and an uninformed waiving of those rights. If a person is convicted based on self-incrimination, the prosecution must be able to prove that they were explicitly aware of and subsequently waived their rights.…
