Nifong and the Duke Lacrosse case highlight several key institutional failures of the justice system in regards to prosecutorial discretion, prosecutor accountability, and the prosecutors dilemma. Prosecutors are considered by many to be the most powerful actors in the courtroom proceedings as they follow the case from the time of arrest to the sentencing. Prosecutors have a lot of discretion in the justice process as they are the ones who decide: Do I prosecute? Who do I prosecute?
To the faculty of the Newman School, I am honored to be considered for the John Henry Cardinal Newman Chapter of the National Honors Society.

Players like Kyle Harrison, on Team STX and the Ohio Machine, are one of the very few player that are African in the MLL. Although it has not reached its peak popularity yet, lacrosse will become a very diverse sport and more popular when MLL players get paid more, and when gear becomes more affordable for teams.

In the list of reasons made by Youth1, the author states, “Time to give credit where credit is due. Despite recent growth and surge in the sport’s popularity, professional lacrosse players continue to receive little recognition for the fact that they are world class athletes. The Olympics could help change that.” Lacrosse players have been working their hardest to get to the college and professional level and when asked what sport they play and they say lacrosse people don’t lose it like they would if it were a professional football player, they either say “I didn’t know lacrosse was a pro sport”, or “what's lacrosse?” . This makes players ashamed of even playing the sport or makes them upset that they aren’t getting the respect they deserve when they put in just as much work as football players or basketball players to get better at the sport they love.

Whether it's being a Goalie, Attacker, Midfielder, or a Defender they all help the whole team and play as one team. It doesn't matter if you're young or old or the best player in the world to being a beginner they all to do it no matter if it is for fun or it's your
For most of my childhood, the sport of baseball was the one activity I loved above anything else. Nothing could compare to the exhilarating freedom and satisfaction of bolting full speed around the bases, determined to steal 2nd, beating the "Throwdown" by a fraction of a second. The massive dust cloud kicked up by my cleats and the thunderous boom of the umpire shouting, "Safe!" made me feel empowered. It was in moments like those, when I was in control of my own fate, choosing whether to stay or to run, whether to play it safe or to risk failure, that I learned one of the most important lessons of my life.
