1. The chances that you will face ethical dilemmas in the workplace are almost certain. This is true for defense attorneys and prosecutors, too. Because of this, it is important to practice proper discretion. How will you analyze and solve the ethical dilemmas you face? Read and reflect on the Ethical Dilemmas exploration activities each week to help you complete this activity.Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper describing the ethical issues for prosecutors and defense attorneys. Answer the following:
   • What types of ethical violations and punishments have been associated with prosecutors and defense attorneys?
   • What are the explanations for prosecutorial misconduct? Provide real-world examples of prosecutorial misconduct. The Jodi Arias case is a great example of a prosecutor stretching the limits of what is proper conduct and what is a clear violation.
   • Should attorneys be punished more or less than the standard criminal defendants? Explain your answer.

I’m working on a law discussion question and need support to help me learn.

KISS-FM Problem: The trademarks have never been registered. In 2001, Sylvester Enterprises began operating a radio station in Los Angeles, California under the name KISS-FM. In, 2010, Sylvester Enterprises opened up another radio station, also called KISS-FM, in Atlanta, Georgia. Foulmouth Enterprises, unaware of the other KISS-FM radio stations, opened up their station, KISS-FM in Miami Florida in 2008, and opened another KISS-FM in Savannah, Georgia in 2009. Can Sylvester Enterprises stop Foulmouth from using the KISS-FM mark in either Miami, Florida, or Savannah Georgia? Why or why not? What other facts would be helpful in answering this question

GOV 312L, US Foreign Policy

1. Describe the crisis involving migrants at the border of Belarus and Poland. How has
Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus, used refugees from the Middle East as
weapons against Poland and the European Union?

2. How did the presidential election in Belarus lead to a deterioration in relations between
Belarus and Western governments in the EU and the United States? Why do EU countries view
authoritarian Belarus as threatening to democracy and why does Lukashenko view European
governments as an existential threat to his power? What role does Russian president Vladimir
Putin play in this relationship?

done for migrants who are trapped as instruments of hybrid conflict between Belarus and
Poland?

I’m working on a criminal justice question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Controversial statement: The more common situations of child homicide arise not out of the intent to kill the child; rather it is the end result of harsh punishment. Therefore such offenders should not be handled in criminal courts and the offenses should be criminal offenses, but rather the cases should be handled in juvenile and domestic relations courts. 

The Fourth Amendment is one of the cornerstones of our freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. It protects people against unreasonable search and seizure of their person, property, and belongings. Law enforcement officers must work to ensure they do not violate the Fourth Amendment while performing their duties. They have a responsibility to protect people’s rights and not invalidate evidence for any future court cases.

In this assignment, you will analyze a case study based on an actual case to determine whether police officers’ search and seizure actions related to suspected illegal drug activities were constitutional. Here is the case study you will analyze in your assignment.

Case Study

In the Los Angeles Brentwood neighborhood, neighbors have notified the police that they have seen vehicles coming and going from one specific home. The incidents occur between 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. The neighbors believe drug activity may be taking place. The local police division assigns officers Williams and Martinez to investigate possible drug activity at that location.

Officer Williams contacts the neighborhood’s regular trash collection service and asks it to put the contents of the subject’s (defendant’s) garbage left at the curb in plastic bags so as to not mix the subject’s garbage with others. He also asked the trash collector to turn the subject’s bags over to him at the end of trash day collections. The trash collector did as Officer Williams requested. Officer Williams’s partner, Officer Martinez, searched through the garbage and found items indicative of narcotics use. Officer Williams and Officer Martinez then listed the information obtained from the trash in an affidavit to support a warrant to search the defendant’s home. Officer Martinez and Officer Williams encountered the defendant at the house later that day upon execution of the warrant. The officers found quantities of cocaine and heroin during the search and arrested the defendant on felony narcotics charges.

Note: As you complete this assignment, it will be helpful to you to read the actual case on which this case study is based: California v. Greenwood.
