Plus, there are legal aid services available if I need help with expenses. Carly: That s true. But don t you have to prove your claims in order to win the case? Max: Of course. They have to have merit and be based on solid evidence or proof. Luckily, I have ev erything organized and ready to present. Carly: Good for you. Do you think their defense will hold up in court? Max: Honestly, I m not too worried about that. Their argument is pretty weak and easily disproven. My lawyer has already pointed out some holes in their defense. Carly: You hired a lawyer? How much does that cost? Max: Not nearly as much as I thought it would be. There are different options depending on your financial circumstances. Plus, my lawyer is confident we ll win this case. Carly: Wow, okay. So how does the jury pick process work? Max: Well, the judge oversees it and makes sure both sides agree on the jurors selected. The people chosen must listen to all the facts presented before deciding whether the defendant is guilty or not. Carly: Interesting. What happens after the court proceedings? Max: Once the trial concludes, the judge gives instructions to the jury and they deliberate the case. Then, when the verdict is announced by the foreperson, the official record of the trial is recorded by the court reporter. Carly: Got it. So who else is involved besides the judge, lawyers, and jury? Max: Well, there can also be interpreters for non English speaking witnesses or defendants. And of course, the parties directly involved in the case - the plaintiff and defendant. Carly: Hmm, okay. It seems like a complicated process, but hopefully justice will prevail in your case. Max: Thank you, I m really hoping so. I just hope the judge and jury see the truth and the wrong that has been done. Question: Who oversees the jury selection process?
*The plaintiff
*The defendant
*The judge

39. Read the dialogue and answer the question. There s only one correct answer.Kelly: Wow, that s a lot of information on tort law. Did you understand all of it? Mark: Honestly, most of it went over my head. I m still trying to wrap my head around the concept of negligence.Kelly: I remember studying this in college. Negligence is when someone breaches their duty of care and causes harm to another person, right?Mark: Yeah, that sounds about right. But there are also certain defenses available in cases of negligence. Like for psychiatric injury or economic loss.Kelly: Wait, so can anyone sue for those things under the premise of negligence?Mark: Not necessarily. The courts use a three-step test to determine if there is a duty of care owed by the defendant to the victim.Kelly: Ah, I see. So basically, the first step is proving that the harm was reasonably foreseeable?Mark: Exactly. And then the second step looks at the relationship between the two parties - whether it s one of proximity or not.Kelly: And finally, the third step considers if it would be fair and just to hold the defendant liable for their actions.Mark: Right. It seems like the case of Caparo Industries Plc v Dickman was a turning point in establishing this threefold test.Kelly: Yeah, it definitely set a precedent. But I can imagine it must have been challenging determining liability in a complex situation like that.Mark: Definitely. And with the ever-changing laws and legal systems, it s important to constantly stay informed and educated.Question: What are some defenses available in cases of negligence?
*Self-defense and provocation
*Alibi and mistaken identity
*Psychiatric injury and economic loss

And it also imposes stricter penalties for violations.Mark: That sounds like a good step towards protecting our environment. But what about local laws? Do they have any impact on this issue?Lila: Yes, definitely. Each state has its own set of environmental laws that are tailored to their specific needs and challenges.Mark: Right, I remember learning about that in my Environmental Law class. So even if there are national laws in place, local governments can create additional regulations?Lila: Exactly. They can provide more detailed rules that cater to the particular needs of the community. And these local laws must comply with both state and federal laws.Mark: Interesting. These different levels of laws can get quite complex.Lila: Definitely. And it reflects the unique history, culture, values, and political institutions of each sovereign state. That s why we have diverse legal systems around the world.Mark: Yeah, I never realized how vast and intricate the field of law is.Lila: It sure is. And keeping up with all the changes and developments is no easy task.Mark: You re right about that. Thanks for explaining everything to me, Lila. I really appreciate it.Lila: Anytime, Mark. That s what friends are for!Question: According to Lila, why do we have diverse legal systems around the world?
*Because all countries follow the same legal framework and try to keep their laws the same

I find it interesting how complex and varied the laws of tort can be.Mike: Do you think you ll specialize in this area after law school?Karen: Maybe.

What did you find most interesting?Tom: Well, according to this article, legal systems often evolve at two paces – gradual changes in response to societal attitudes, or rapid shifts due to major events like revolutions or conflicts. Can you imagine a complete overhaul of our legal system overnight?John: It s definitely hard to wrap my head around. And geographical, historical, and political events can also shape a country s legal system.Tom: Right! Like how in Western countries, Civil Law is the most prevalent type of legal system, tracing its origins back to the Roman Justinian code from the 6th century.

I ve heard that even some African countries have Civil Law systems based on the Belgian influence during colonization.Tom: Wow, I had no idea. These systems sound so complex.John: Yes, they do. And all of them involve a national constitution, legislation, subordinate laws, traditions, and codes of laws. It s pretty impressive how these five elements come together to create a functioning legal system.Tom: Absolutely. And it makes me appreciate the importance of having well-defined and enforced laws in our society.John: Definitely.
