7 The jury The jury system has existed in Britain since the eleventh century, although its functions have changed over the centuries. The first juries very often acted as witnesses reporting on events they knew about. Modern juries should know as little as possible about the case before the trial and are mainly used in criminal trials in the Crown Court. Their role in the Crown Court is to listen to the evidence and decide the guilt or innocence of the accused based on the facts presented to them. They
3.4.2 CAM practitioners are more ethical than conventional doctors Proponents of CAM argue that because it is safer and has fewer side effects than conventional medicine, CAM practitioners must be inherently more ethical than doctors. This is a false argument in several respects. While CAM is generally very safe compared with some powerful conventional remedies (a point acknowledged in para. 4.21 of the House of Lords Report, 2000), all therapies can cause harm in unskilled hands. Some side effects of CAM are potentially serious, particularly if there is a c
Children and young people’s participation
Listening to children is a first step in the participation agenda, which is reasonably well established. By contrast, enabling children to share in decision making lags some way behind. This free course, Children and young people's participation, emphasises that the adoption of an integrated approach to participation by different sectors of the children's workforce is of crucial importance.Author(s):
3.4.4 Law imposes more stringent requirements than ethics All health care practitioners, including those in CAM, must work within the laws of the country where they practise. Although the law does not always reflect what is considered ethical – indeed, ethical duties may be thought of as higher than legal duties – in most jurisdictions it ensures that practitioners are subject, at the very least, to minimal requirements vis-à-vis respect for users' dignity, user information, confidentiality, and maintaining professional boundaries.

2.2 The Third Estate as the voice of the nation
Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès (1748–1836) trained as a priest and became assistant to a bishop. He had no religious vocation, however, and his fame arose as the author of a highly influential pamphlet, What is the Third Estate?, published in January 1789, on the strength of which Sieyes was elected a deputy to the Estates-General. Four editions or 30,000 copies of the book came out within months of its appearance, at a time of heightened consciousness that great changes were afoot. What i
3.4 Summary of Section 3 The temperature of an object is intimately linked to the average kinetic energy of the atoms from which it is made. As a result, some materials properties such as electrical resistance and mean atom spacings change gradually with temperature. These properties can be modelled with a simple linear equation like the following one that describes thermal expansion: {Suresh 388} Useful Glossary 21H.007J Empire: Introduction to Ancient and Medieval Studies (MIT) IPL Lisette Burrows "I like the sausage sizzle but it makes me feel gulty" - Shaping the healthy chi 6.5 Monitoring progress This stage of the framework is about keeping track of your progress.
