When Diane was communicating with the doctor, Barbara sent Lucca to intervene. The reason given was that Lucca was more familiar with the Federal court. In fact, everyone knew that Barbara was playing office politics and suppressing Diane~
Federal court Federal court. The US court organization is divided into two systems: federal and state. The establishment of federal courts is regulated by the U.S. Constitution. In addition to the Supreme Court, the establishment of appellate courts, district courts, and the number of judges are specifically operated by Congress. Federal judges are nominated by the president and confirmed by a Senate hearing, and serve for life. Judging from the hearing of cases, the courts of the federal system mainly have jurisdiction over cases involving the Constitution, foreign countries, state-to-state cases, criminal cases violating federal laws, cases in which one party is the federal government, and cases involving foreign government agents Human cases, etc. In addition, bankruptcy, maritime cases, etc. are also within the jurisdiction of the federal courts. The case involved terrorists, so it was tried in federal court. So, AUSA, representing the federal government, appeared, and it was also the handsome Colin Morrello who was going to have a lot of rivalry with Lucca ▼
AUSA Assistant United States Attorney, Assistant U.S. Attorney, is an attorney who has litigated on behalf of the federal government in cases where the federal government is a party. Its main function is to investigate and prosecute violations of federal law. When arguing about bail, Morrello cited a series of legal provisions in the code 18 US Code 2339A▼
US Code (United States Code) is the "United States Code", in which 18 and 2339A refer to the number of specific legal entries. The United States Code (USC) is the official compilation of all federal laws of the United States. The production process of any law in the United States is: first, a bill is proposed by the United States Congress. When the bill is passed by Congress, it will be submitted to the President of the United States for approval. Once the bill is approved by the President (it may be rejected), it will become law. (Act). When a law is passed, the House of Representatives publishes the content of the law in the United States Code. In 1926, Americans organized and compiled all the legislation (except the Declaration of Independence, the Federal Regulations and the Federal Constitution) enacted by Congress since the founding of the country, and systematically classified them according to 50 items, and named it the "United States Code" (United States Code). States Code), first published in 15 volumes as the first edition of the United States Code. The United States Code is re-codified and promulgated every six years. The latest version is the 2012 Code, with a total of 54 volumes (plus 3 supplementary volumes). Each year for a six-year period, the laws passed by Congress in that year are compiled into a supplementary volume in accordance with the serial numbers arranged in the Code. Supplementary volumes are available to consult and cite the latest legal provisions until the new code is codified. The verdict is that bail is available, and the bail is an Unsecured bond of $2,000▼
Unsecured bond The release of the unsecured court guarantee is that the court determines the amount of bail, and the defendant issues a guarantee to ensure that he will appear in court on time and abide by the law. Otherwise, the court will confiscate the determined amount of property. On the other hand, Adrian went to ask an old client of the law firm why the legal fee for this year has not been paid to us. Later, he found out that another law firm that competes with him operates a PAC that supports Trump▼
PAC (Political action committee) Political action committee is an organization in the United States that raises political funds for candidates running for public office. They collect money from a large number of individuals and then donate to the candidates they support. In the United States, running a campaign is a very expensive affair, and a candidate's campaign funds are basically donated by his supporters. Of course, supporters will not give money for nothing and ask for nothing. In this way, a connection of interests is created in the process. Gradually, the price of donations has become higher and higher, and the corruption problem has become more and more serious. In order to reduce the occurrence of problems such as corruption and bribery, in 1971 and 1974, an important reform of the US Congress was to impose strict limits on the amount of individuals and companies donated directly to candidates. There are not too many restrictions on giving money to candidates, so PACs are popping up. The earliest activities in the form of PACs were trade unions. Today, there are many types of PACs in the United States, most industries have their own PACs, and corporate PACs are the most influential. As soon as Trump took office, the company considered switching to a law firm with good ties to the Trump administration. Just look at Barbara's expression, it's over, we can't compete with others...▼
Maia went to see his father in the prison. When the two hugged, they exchanged content that the lawyer could not hear. They were forcibly pulled apart. Maia's lawyer mentioned the spousal privilege ▼
Spousal privilege Spousal privilege, also known as conjugal confidentiality privilege, is a privilege that cannot compel the spouse of a criminal suspect to testify or disclose secret conversations between husband and wife. Privileges fall into two categories, the communications privilege and the testimonial privilege not to testify against the spouse. The purpose of this privilege is to protect the marital relationship and prevent the spouse from being placed in a dilemma. So Maia's lawyer wants to say that although you are father and daughter, once you have to testify in court in the future, you have no privileges, and you have to testify when you should testify, which is likely to be detrimental to yourself. But Maia can't hear it~ Back to the doctor's case, Diane and Lucca finally won the lawsuit with the Balance of hardships▼
