What do I think of the legal system.

I think that the legal system is the entity that holds the power to keep things in order in our everyday life, which is necessary for a civilized society. Just as it says in the book, “The Effects of law are felt throughout society. Indeed, some aspects of the law apply to all persons, institutions, and organizations.”(Essentials of Business Law, Anthony L. Luzzo, pg 3.) Everything from our police force, to the high offices of our government, in one way or another there are applicable laws in place to keep the system as a whole in check and in balance. This is the greatest part about our legal system; each branch of our legal system (legislative, judicial, executive) has a specific job and each branch checks one another to make sure that they all abide by the law. It seems to me the system is working so far; even though there can be some hang ups within the system as far as writing, interpreting, and executing law. In the real world this can be a time consuming task due to the complexity of certain situations, and in some cases this process can last for years.
The rights of the citizens are protected to in our legal system; one of my favorite laws is your innocent until your proven guilty in a court of law. Even if you are proven guilty, you have a chance to appeal your case to a higher court. You might have to spend some time in the jail cell, but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel. This law alone guarantees that the government cannot go out and lynch people or prosecute them unfairly. I couldn’t imagine being a part of a cruel experience such as this, I’m sure it happened in the past, but in one way or the other people who commit such acts can be brought to justice.
