Outside of Canada, citizens are protected by international laws between sovereign states. Therefore, crimes committed in other judicial sanctions should be dealt with by their own court of law, without interference of other countries sovereignty. The case of R. v. Cook is an exception; Canadian authorities interrogated Cook, a Canadian citizen, outside of Canada.

The case of R. v. Schoenborn is a troubling case involving the death of three children and the defence of not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder. This defence must be critically analyzed along with the evidence and expert opinions as it could absolve the accused of the charges. As well, the precedent that the verdict provides is critical to the legal system and its future implication and thus give the decision more importance.

Justice Charles Lawrence of Illinois Supreme Court made an appalling statement in the case Bradwell v. Illinois back in 1873.

He lacks both knowledge as well as experience. Another key issue in this movie that goes along with Rule 1.7 is truly the fact of conflict of interest between Billy
There is no one name for the case of Frank Abagnale. He was tried in France, Sweden, Italy, and then finally the United States.
