One mistake and everyone judges you

A good lawyer knows the law; a great lawyer knows the judge

Courts

Sentence

 If convicted, the defendant is sentenced. This normally occurs after the court is apprized of his previous criminal record, if he has one, as well as other information about his character.

Where he faces the prospect of a custodial sentence, reports may be submitted to the court concerning the defendant’s background: his education, family, employment history, and so on. Psychological or medical reports may also be presented, along with evidence, including witnesses to testify to his unimpeachable integrity. This may be followed by a moving plea in mitigation of sentence in which his lawyer attempts to convince the court that the accused is a victim of the cruel vicissitudes and privations of life: poverty, manipulation by others, poor parenting, and other equally powerful forces that were beyond his control and are where the true responsibility for his crime lies.

“Innovation and investments in environmentally sound infrastructure and technologies can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance resilience to climate change. Mitigation can be more cost-effective if using an integrated approach that combines measures to reduce energy use and the GHG intensity of end-use sectors, decarbonize energy supply, reduce net emissions and enhance carbon sinks in land-based sectors”.

“Sustainable development and equity provide a basis for assessing climate policies. Limiting the effects of climate change is necessary to achieve sustainable development and equity, including poverty eradication. The design of climate policy is influenced by how individuals and organizations perceive risks and uncertainties and take them into account. Methods of valuation from economic, social and ethical analysis are available to assist decision making”.
