A Federal Court Case where police beat up girl in hand cuffs?
Im looking for anyone who had heard or knows 411 on a pending case in Seattle,WA., where a deputy beat up a female while she was in hand cuffs. This happened to me in Tacoma and need some good advice/ 411.A Federal Court Case where police beat up girl in hand cuffs?
My good advice is to photographically document any damage. Contact the Internal Affairs Division of that department and file a complaint. Get a free consult from a civil attorney to see if you have a case in that area..A Federal Court Case where police beat up girl in hand cuffs?
If this happened to you, you need to consult an attorney. Generally speaking, police should not hit someone in handcuffs. However, if someone is violently resisting, kicking, spiting, etc, something needs to be done. I don't think any law enforcement officer is going to ';beat up'; someone even if they are violent. They use necessary force to bring the suspect under control. You may not agree with the level of force used, but it is not for you to decide.

How long does the discovery period of a federal civil case take? how long after that will there be a trial?
I was hit by an 18-wheeler in September of 2005 and have incurred hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of medical expenses. What does my time table look like the complaint was filed in august?How long does the discovery period of a federal civil case take? how long after that will there be a trial?
It depends on a number of different factors. The discovery phase of a civil case can take years to complete sometimes, especially if the opposing attorney is not very cooperative. If the complaint was filed in August and there is no chance of a settlement, you be looking at 2,3, maybe 4 years before it goes to trial.How long does the discovery period of a federal civil case take? how long after that will there be a trial?

Look at it this way when it comes to any level of Governemnt, they only do 2 things with any speed at all.
1.) Pass themselves payraises.
2.) Raise our taxes.
Check out a legal website like NOLO.com, LawGuru.com, and many, many others- it could take significant research on your part, nobody out here can give you the correct answer to such a complex situation without all the details. Look up Federal Civil Procedures and the answer may be there too.
I concur with Crazy Kid. 2 to 4 years is a likely time frame.
Unfortunately, you may be in the position of having to accept less than you hope for in order to get a quick payment. The two things to remember if you go down that path is that, if you go to trial, you will probably have to pay a bigger share to your attorney -- and you might not get as much as you hope.under eye concealer

Which federal court or courts hear the greatest number of cases?
a. district courts
b. courts of appeals
c. the supreme court
d. the court of appeals for the federal circuitWhich federal court or courts hear the greatest number of cases?
District courts, since that's the only one that has original jurisdiction all the time. Realize that the other three are apellate courts (though the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in very limited situations), and so in order to be seen by the other three, you would have to start in the federal district court and need to appeal your case.

What makes a case, a federal case?
I am working at a halfway house and the offenders all have federal cases. Just exactly what is the severity of their crimes, that make it a federal case?What makes a case, a federal case?
It is not possible to put a 'severity' label upon someone based upon the fact that they were found guilty of a 'federal' rather then a state or local crime. There are many federal laws concerning interstate commerce, drugs, etc. (things which cross 'state lines') for which one can be charged and convicted in Federal court, instead of indicting under State or local laws and their respective courts. They are all still 'crimes'...In essence, crimes that in a sense 'cross' state lines and are addressed under federal statutes can be charged and heard in federal court. In many cases, the determination about whether the case is charged locally or at the federal level is dependent upon many factors... local law, burden of proof, available sentencing\sanctions, and the like. Blessings...What makes a case, a federal case?
Both of the previous answers are severely off base. especially the person who claims to be an attorney. Diversity of citizenship has nothing to do with criminal law at all.
all this means is that the persons case is in federal court. It could be for anything against federal criminal law. For as the park ranger said destructive actions in a federal park, aka killing a bald eagle, or it could be for possession or sale of drugs. It doesn't mean that they are worse criminals. Martha Stewert was in federal jail so all the criminals are not the worst of the worst.
It is not the severity of a crime that makes one a Federal case; rather, it is if one of certain criteria is met, including: 1) If it involves a Federal Question, or 2) Diversity of citizenship.
The first, a Federal Question, means that the issue involves something that should not, and possibly cannot, be decided by a State Court, such as a Securities %26amp; Exchange Commission (SEC) issue.
Diversity of citizenship is when two parties to the action are subject to the jurisdiction of different States, making neither a good forum for resolving the dispute, and in fact, partly because State lines were crossed in creating the conflict (such as when goods are sold in interstate commerce.)
I hope this helps!
And to add to Rob B's really good answer:
There are some jurisdictions that are just federal. I work in a national park. So if you get a speeding ticket from me, it is a federal violation notice, and we argue it in front of an(awesome) federal judge. The state I'm in bears no meaning to it.
So most fed. managed public lands ALWAYS result in a ';federal case.'; (although there are different types of jurisdictions, but you don't care about that. Trust me.)

What kinds of cases do federal courts handle?
Federal
Not to be flippant, but federal courts have jurisdiction over both civil and criminal federal matters. They also handle appeals from state jurisdictions.
This includes federal crimes like bank robbery, any crime committed on federal property, immigration violations, etc.
And, of course the appellate division hears all sorts of appeals from state cases. The SCOTUS is the court of final jurisdiction for state appeals and is a federal court.
