But when you will work at the office and <a href="https://www.orapex.com/free-schedule-template" rel="nofollow">team management</a> for your team is also very useful to work. Because without perfect management of any work no one can go ahead. That's why I'll suggest everyone use that.Dominickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892760646468170505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248881149749925934.post-76389869390886126202009-05-12T09:06:00.000-07:002009-05-12T09:06:00.000-07:00Actually, Bear, I may be thinking of an update to ...Actually, Bear, I may be thinking of an update to 12 Angry Men. I just remember my sister once telling me something about how the one guy convinces the others and I thought it involved something like outside investigation.<br /><br />There are other types of misconduct, though, like in the Scott Peterson case, I think the jurors playing around in that boat merits a new trial. Or jurors can coerce other jurors. There are lots of things. My dad always proudly tells this story of when he was a jury foreman and came up with the amount of damages. I hate to tell him, but what the jury did was quite wrong.<br /><br />But I don't know what your problem with "Double Jeopardy" is. ;) It's a brilliant piece of cinema and is absolutely correct on the law. <br /><br />(Disclaimer: it is wrong on the law. If you serve prison time for killing someone who is not actually dead, you do NOT have license to kill that person! If you kill that person, you will go back to prison. Probably for a lot longer than the first time. Killing is bad, no matter how big a jerk the victim is.)Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12429147325673256508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248881149749925934.post-32643247605783069842009-05-11T23:43:00.000-07:002009-05-11T23:43:00.000-07:00What kind of juror misconduct is supposedly in "Tw...What kind of juror misconduct is supposedly in "Twelve Angry Men"? It's been a while, but as far as I can remember, the jurors don't ever leave the room, which rules out independent investigation and, um...well, I don't really know what other kind of juror misconduct there is, which is kinda sad since I've served on three.<br /><br />And I was mistaken: I HAVE seen a job about my profession, but "Antitrust" was so phenomenally stupid that I blocked it from my memory. It's about as realistic about software engineering as "Double Jeopardy" is about the law. Grrr. Maybe I WILL write that screenplay!Language Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288480400454374958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248881149749925934.post-33652953305112655072009-05-11T14:37:00.000-07:002009-05-11T14:37:00.000-07:00A Few Good Men....A Time to Kill....and actually t...A Few Good Men....A Time to Kill....and actually there's a really fun scene in Harry Potter where Dumbledore acts as Harry's defense attorney. The head of the court is bent on convicting Harry for political reasons--he even switches the time and place of the hearing to try to get the case defaulted--and Dumbledore argues that they need to follow their own laws (think self-defense situation) and gets the acquittal.Merylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483427699554329227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248881149749925934.post-33236307063758700182009-05-11T07:43:00.000-07:002009-05-11T07:43:00.000-07:00Actually, I've never seen Twelve Angry Men. From ...Actually, I've never seen Twelve Angry Men. From what I've heard, I suspect I would find it infuriating (except for the ultimate verdict) because I'm pretty sure there is some serious juror misconduct.<br /><br />Those software engineer movies are great, aren't they? Ooh, maybe you can get a job writing those screenplays! Seriously, I hope the job search isn't getting you down too much.<br /><br />Erin, I don't think that's sad at all. Elle Woods teaches us all a good lesson about valuing ourselves (and not letting others underestimate us based on our fabulous looks).Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12429147325673256508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248881149749925934.post-64085654294449761522009-05-11T07:40:00.000-07:002009-05-11T07:40:00.000-07:00I went to law school because of Legally Blonde.

I've had that used in anti-racism curricula to examine how group dynamics work to silence minority viewpoints.Language Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288480400454374958noreply@blogger.com
