" Laws are what keep society from chaos and anarchy. Laws are used by lawyers to help promote "justice" and fairness, yet at times they look out for their own best interest instead. Lawyers, in general, do not have a good reputation. Social commentary can be read in literature as lawyers have been negatively portrayed since Shakespeare.
Nearly every aspect of law enforcement has a court decision that governs criteria. Most court rulings are the result of civil lawsuit towards a police officer and agency. However, currently, there is no law that mandates law enforcement driver training. When it comes to firearms, negligence by officers has resulted in a multitude of court rulings. Popow v. City of Margate, 1979, is a particularly interesting case that outlines failed firearms training by an agency. In this case, an officer chasing a suspect during a foot pursuit fired at the suspect, striking and killing an innocent bystander (Justia.com, 2017).

Criminal law is among the terms that have been defined differently by various sources. It is mainly concerned with a system of legal rules defining actions that are classified as crimes and the manner of which the government prosecutes people who commit crimes (Snyman, 2014). According to the chapter, some sources use it in a way that is very general that describes it as the entire spectrum of laws that deal with the criminal justice system while others use shorthand ways which terms it as substantive criminal law, which is very true.

Equally as vital, looms the ever-present hand of the American law system. “All beings have their laws: the Deity…man his laws” (Montesquieu,1), this statement serves true in founding that law is consistently a necessary portion in society because all society desires law. As a consequence of the continual presence of law, careers aimed to interpret the crevices of laws, and to defend them, are synonymously as necessary in society.

Another piece of information discussed in the chapter is infringement, which is taking or using any form of intellectual property. Essentially, infringement is stealing property from another person or party. This leads into trade secrets. A trade secret is having knowledge or information of one’s ideas that could have “economic value from not being generally known or has been the subject of reasonable efforts by the owner to maintain secrecy.” If it becomes known that someone knows a trade secret then a judge can issue what is called an injunction, which is an “order to do something or to refrain from doing something.” This injunction keeps those who have infringed a trade secret to cease from telling the secret or putting it to use.
