The signals on a railroad crossing are defective. Although the railroad company was notified of the problem a month earlier, the

railroad inspector has failed to come by and repair them. Seeing the all-clear signal, a car drives up and stalls on the tracks as a train rounds the bend. For the past two weeks the car had been stalling, and the driver kept putting off taking the car to the shop for a tune-up. As the train rounds the bend, the engineer is distracted by a conductor and does not see the car until it is too late to stop. Who is negligent? Who must bear the liability for the damage to the car and to the train?
Law

I think it's both the railroad inspector and the driver who drives the car. The railroad inspector didn't come fix the problem and the driver didn't take his car to the shop to get his problem fixed. So honestly, it's both their faults.

Describe the process of the selection of federal judges
viva [34]

Answer:

Federal judges are judges who serve in a federal court. The term refers both to the Article III federal judges and to Article I federal judges, who serve as magistrate and bankruptcy judges, and in other Article III tribunals.

Federal judges are nominated by the president of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. The various steps to the process is given below:

  1. The president nominates an candidate for a judicial seat.
  2. The candidate fills out a questionnaire which is reviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
  3. The <em>Senate Judiciary Committee </em>holds a hearing with the candidate, interviewing he or her about things like their judicial philosophy, past rulings or opinions, and ideas about certain areas of Law;
  • As part of this process, the committee sends a blue slip to senators from the home state in which the judicial election was received, allowing them to indicate whether or not they approve of the candidate

     4. After the hearing, the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote to approve or return the candidate;

  • If approved, the candidate is voted on by the full Senate.
  • If the Committee votes to return the candidate to the president, the president has the opportunity to re-nominate the individual.

     5. The Senate holds a vote on the candidate.

  • If the Senate confirms the nomination, the nominee receives a commission to serve a lifelong position as a Federal Judge.
  • If the Senate does not confirm the nomination, that candidate does not become a judge.

Cheers!

A paragraph discussing which pieces of evidence, if any, could have class
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Evidence

Explanation:

In general, all forms of evidence have class or individual characteristics. Class characteristics are not unique to a particular object but place the particular bit of evidence into a group of objects. Individual characteristics narrow down the evidence to a single, individual source.

In general, all forms of evidence have class or individual characteristics. Class characteristics are not unique to a particular object but place the particular bit of evidence into a group of objects. Individual characteristics narrow down the evidence to a single, individual source.The type of handgun with which a victim is shot is a class characteristic. For example, if the bullet came from a .38 caliber handgun, every .38 caliber handgun on the planet is the possible murder weapon. However, finding a suspect’s fingerprint (an individual characteristic) on a .38 caliber handgun suggests that this .38, to the exclusion of all others, was the murder weapon. This is particularly true if the killing bullet can also be matched to this particular .38.

If the suspect has type B blood, he remains a suspect. From there, DNA (an individual characteristic) from the suspect and DNA from the blood evidence are tested to determine conclusively whether they match. If, however, the suspect’s blood is type A, he then is excluded as the source of the blood
