Question

The integrity of the Texas judicial system has been called into question many times. Explain what events have caused it to be called into question. Discuss the outcome of the situations and what the state of Texas is doing to combat future accusations.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The integrity of the Texas judicial system has been questioned many times because most JPs do not have full knowledge of the laws at any level, allowing anyone who comes to a crime who has a basic knowledge of the law to get away with punishment within a court. Many judicial decisions were devalued because of this situation, which caused the entire judicial system to be questioned.

To prevent this from happening, Texas has sought to establish requirements for the association and participation of JPs in state courts, so that only people with efficient legal capacity and knowledge of local and federal laws will participate.
