1. An experienced traveler, you purchase a train ticket from Fairbanks, Alaska to Anchorage. In terms of taking trains and purchasing tickets, you have both “been there” and “done that.” As you board the train for the multi hour ride which includes a meal you discover that you and your travel companion are sitting on a bench made for one hunched over a narrow table and across from another traveler and her companion. Cramped quarters were not what you were expecting. About quarter way into the journey, you learn that the track diverts since repairs are underway due to a train that crashed last week. You were not told of this when you purchased the ticket. Now the journey will proceed to another stop where you will switch from train to bus for the remainder of the trip. The trip will now take an additional 8 hours. Most of us, lawyers that we are, would likely seek some remuneration for the inconvenience of not being told a significant detail about the benefit we were getting by purchasing the train ticket. (Some would ask even if they liked traveling by bus in scenic Alaska anyway!) You surely did not get what you bargained for.

There is no magic formula or process by which someone can predict with certainty the amount of money that a personal injury case may be worth. If there were, then society wouldn’t have a need for personal injury lawyers. One could simply apply the “formula” to come up with the value of a case. And if this happened there would be no need for a trial. Yet we know that trials are necessary when the two sides cannot agree on the value of a case.

Crime is an inexcusable offence that may take different forms. For example, sedition, treason and espionage are crimes against the state where as murder, rape, kidnapping and assault are crimes against a person. Under criminal law, the government always files the suit where as in case of civil law a private party always files the suit.
Criminal law explains criminal offences and its elements and the punishment for the convicted offenders as an effective means of social control. The most important feature of the U.S. criminal law is its provision for common punishment. Certain criminal laws prescribe rules and regulations to observe and maintain higher standards of conduct. For example, helping the police in investigation when asked to do so and reporting to authorities immediately after a culprit is identified are examples of moral or ethical criminal laws.
