LAW MERIT BADGE

REQUIREMENT 1

Define “law”.

Tell some of its sources.

Describe functions it serves.

LAW IS A SYSTEM OF IDEAS AND ACTIONS,

A WAY TO HELP SOCIETY KEEP ORDER AND STAY TOGETHER.

Sources & Functions Constitution: Supreme Law of the United States. It gives

power of Congress to make laws and gives power to states to legislate.

Ten Commandments: is called Divine Law. Societies have developed laws based social customs and religious and tribal laws.

The U.S. legal system is a good example of a system that drew upon its origins in English law, which in turn developed from certain concepts of Roman, Norman, and Germanic laws. Every society added something of its own to make the law fit special needs.

REQUIREMENT 2

Discuss.

The development of the jury system.

Two famous trials in history.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE JURY SYSTEM The 1st rather primitive jury system began

in ancient Greece. Before a trial, a large number of citizens was chosen; then, just before a trial began, a smaller number was taken from the larger group. This was done so that no one could know ahead of time who would be a juror and try to influence the decision. Very often, hundreds of citizens would be on the jury. The very size of it made attempts to corrupt, bribe, or scare individual jurors difficult.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE JURY SYSTEM

Romans(Italy): a judge defined the issues of dispute, and a group of private persons called the judice made the decision on how to handle the problem. The judice worked without a judge present. Their decisions were final and often harsh. Poor people who couldn’t buy their debts were put in jail or killed.

Germany: the head of the court would gather a small group of landowners to decide cases-usually 7-12. They talked about the case away from the judge.

Norway, Sweden, & Denmark all adopted juries. France: began when Norseman brought it with them when

invading France. England: William the Conqueror brought system in 1066 when

he invaded the British Isle. When English settlers cam to America, they brought the system with them.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE JURY SYSTEM

After many years, the jury became a group that decided whether the facts of a case warranted an innocent or guilty verdict.

The Jury System is seen as a way to keep the administration of justice in the hands of ordinary citizens and to prevent powerful or rich citizens from influencing the court.

THE JURY AND U.S. LAW The first 10

Amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights, guarantee the right to a jury trial.

The package of rights include a fair and speedy trail, right to confront witnesses, right to counsel, and do not have to testify.

THE TRIAL OF SOCRATES: Socrates was a philosopher, thinker and teacher

who lived in Athens in ancient Greece. His ideas were unpopular with the rulers of Athens.

Socrates believed that goodness is based on knowledge, and wickedness on ignorance. He tried to teach people the meaning of his motto Know Thyself and to open their minds to new thoughts.

He always searched for truth and never hesitated to criticize the government and its leaders.

THE TRIAL OF SOCRATES:

Because they feared and hated him, the government leaders arrested Socrates and put him on trial for “corruption of the young” and “neglect of the gods whom the city worships.”

Most of the jury of 500 men disagreed with Socrates and his defense of freedom of speech and thought.

He had no lawyer to assist him.

THE TRIAL OF SOCRATES: Because the truth often hurts when it

uncovers dishonesty, evil people sometimes want to stamp out the free exchange of ideas.

Socrates did not convince the jury of his innocence and was condemned to death by swallowing poison.

He spent his last hours of life talking over his ideas with friends.

He took the poison and died peacefully, with the knowledge that the truth will never die.

THE NUREMBERG WAR CRIMES TRIALS: CONSCIENCE, MORALITY, AND THE STATE.

During World War II the Nazi government of Germany set out to conquer Europe. In the process, millions of people were thrown into the horrors of war. Huge numbers of soldiers on all sides died in the long, bloody combat.

Millions of innocent civilians were deliberately put to death by the Nazis. These deaths were not unavoidable, accidental, or battle-connected. They were planned mass murders carried out as part of the Nazis’ insane quest to produce a “master race.” The main group of civilian victims were 6 million European Jews, who were starved, shot, or fed into gas chambers and fiery furnaces. This number included more than 1 million children. Soldiers who were prisoners of the Nazis also were executed. Millions of innocent people died.


When the war ended in 1945, the victorious Allies-United States, Britain, and Russia-were shocked at the Nazi crimes. Many nations had long agreed to obey certain laws-rules of war-that would keep civilians out of violence and danger as much as possible, and would treat prisoners of war humanely.

The Nazis violated all such rules of war. Worse, they violated rules of humanity, decency, and morality. The Allies put Nazi officials, generals, admirals, and private citizens on trial in Nuremberg, Germany, for their crimes against humanity.


A panel of judges from many nations decided that people could not abandon their basic humanity even if the government says they must. The court also ruled that a government that orders the killing and torture of innocent people is acting outside the law and thereby loses its right to govern.

The principles of decency and human rights for all were affirmed by the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. Many Nazi war criminals were executed or imprisoned.

REQUIREMENT 3Tell what civil law is;

Tell what criminal law is.

Tell the main differences between them.

Give examples of each.

Civil Law is a disagreement between two parties about how their rights and responsibilities are handled. They involve the private and civil rights of individuals, corporations, government bodies, and others.

Criminal Law is concerned with harmful acts called crimes. Crimes are forbidden by statute law, and if a person who commits a crime is discovered, the state will take that person to court to seek punishment in the name of the people.

CRIMINAL LAW CIVIL LAW Who is involved?

The state prosecutes, it goes to court against the accused person.

“Burden of Proof” The state must prove the accused person is guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Penalties: Imprisonment and/or fine.

Who is involved? Usually a person or corporation goes to court against another person or corporation.

“Burden of Proof” The plaintiff must prove its position by a “preponderance of the evidence.”

Penalties: No imprisonment. An award of money (called “damages”) or an order to perform or refrain from performing an act is issued.

Flint Firestone

Judge: Plaintiff’s counsel, would you care to make a closing argument to the jury?

Plaintiff’s Lawyer: Your honor, ladies and gentleman of the jury, the evidence you have heard proves that Mike Goodman had possession of John Friendly’s lunch box after he left camp on June 14. The evidence also shows that when John opened his lunch box in the dining hall all that was left were a few crumbs and a banana peel. You heard Justin Cool saw peanut butter on Mike Goodman’s mouth and the Mike Goodman and Able Minded were “giggling” about something when he returned from the dining hall. Don’t you think it was about a trick he played on John Friendly? You also know that Kyle Brave found an empty Capri-Sun in the boy’s bathroom later that day.I ask you to do the right thing and bring back a verdict in favor of John Friendly and against Mike Goodman.

Closing

Judge: Defense counsel, do you wish to address the jury?

Defendant’s Lawyer: Yes, your honor. Ladies and gentleman of the jury, Mike Goodman is an innocent guy. Do you think he could take a basket full of lunch boxes 50 yards to the dining hall, eat John Friendly’s lunch, go to boy’s bathroom and still be back to camp in just 5 minutes? Do you think he could eat John Friendly’s lunch, then eat his own and part of Flint Firestone’s lunch too? He might be a hungry boy, but nobody is that hungry! Justin Cool said he had peanut butter on his mouth but he didn’t know if that was before or after he ate his own peanut butter sandwich. Plenty of scouts could have eaten John Friendly’s lunch. Remember, Senior Patrol Leader said other Troops ate their lunch in staff dining before Troop 123. I ask you to do the right thing and bring back a verdict in favor of Mike Goodman and against John Friendly.

Closing

Judge: Jurors, you will now retire to the jury room to deliberate. First pick one of you as the leader of your group. When you have reached a verdict, please let the Bailiff know. Bailiff, please take charge of the jury.

Recommendation: You can have the actors wait outside (so they can ask Judge questions) or send jury into another room to deliberate and then return with decision.
