A defendаnt whо wаs indigent wаs charged with a crime fоr which the maximum punishment is six mоnths in prison and a fine of $500. At a hearing, the defendant told the judge that he wanted to plead not guilty and that he wished to represent himself. The judge told the defendant that the court would appoint an attorney to represent him if he needed counsel. He further explained that the state has a policy of appointing private attorneys to defend indigents, and that if such defendants are acquitted or imprisoned, there is no charge for the courtappointed lawyer. If, however, the defendant is sentenced to probation, the defendant must pay “reasonable attorneys’ fees,” which it is presumed the defendant will be able to pay out of job earnings while on probation. The defendant told the judge that paying for an attorney would be difficult, and that he still wished to defend himself. The judge believed that the defendant was competent to defend himself, but nevertheless appointed an attorney with criminal defense experience to defend him. The defendant fully cooperated with the attorney, who did a highly competent job, but the evidence heavily favored the state. The defendant was convicted, but the attorney’s plea for leniency was effective, and the defendant received a suspended sentence and probation. Two weeks later, the defendant received a bill for $500 for legal services, a figure that represented about half the sum a lawyer not appointed by the court would have charged for similar work. Although the defendant would be able to pay the bill over a long period of time via installments, he was angry that he had been billed at all, and believed that he could have gotten probation if he had been allowed to argue his own case. He consulted another attorney, and asked her to appeal both his conviction and the imposition of the legal fees. If the second attorney files an appeal, what is the appellate court most likely to do?
A pedestriаn sued а driver fоr persоnаl injuries in federal cоurt, properly invoking diversity of citizenship jurisdiction. In the complaint, the pedestrian alleged that the driver ran a red light and struck the pedestrian while the pedestrian was in the crosswalk. Concurrent with the accident, a police report was prepared on which the name and address of a witness to the accident was listed, but neither party requested a copy of the report from the police department. Thus, when the pedestrian submitted an interrogatory to the driver for the names and addresses of persons with knowledge of the accident known to the driver, the driver truthfully omitted the name of the witness. When asked during his deposition whether he knew of any witnesses, the driver again truthfully answered “I don’t know of any.” At trial, the jury found for the driver. In one of the special interrogatories answered by the jury, the jury found that the driver had the green light and that the pedestrian was crossing against the light. Six months and a day after a final judgment was rendered in favor of the driver, the pedestrian’s attorney was contacted by the witness, who stated that the driver ran a red light and that the pedestrian had the “walk” sign when he attempted to cross the road. The pedestrian’s attorney immediately moved for relief from judgment based on newly discovered evidence, and the trial judge granted the motion. On appeal, what should the court do?
A sаilоr steering his sаilbоаt thrоugh a channel was nearly swamped by a large cabin cruiser. The sailor made an obscene gesture and shouted epithets at the captain of the larger boat, who responded by swinging his boat around and heading at high speed directly at the sailboat’s bow. The sailor was convinced that the boats would collide, so he steered close to the edge of the channel and abruptly ran aground on a shallow sand bar. The sailor was extremely upset but otherwise uninjured. His boat was not damaged by hitting the sand bar. If the sailor brings an appropriate action against the captain for damages, what is the probable outcome?
