SCHOLAR: THE USE OF ART IN THE LEGAL SYSTEM

The legal system is organized in such a way that it is adversarial.  Adversarial means that a conflict is created so that the attorney and the prosecutor can compete for the decision of the judge to issue his or her verdict.  It is important to know that verdicts dictate how the case is to be concluded.  In the modern legal system, they address the primary concern of the people involved however, what is not done so effectively are measures to dissuade people from committing crime.  Although these court documents are a matter of public record, it is not enough to deter people from committing crime.  The concept of deterrence can be defined as, actions that discourage the committing of criminal acts.  Modern governments clearly make legislation to dictate that which are considered unlawful.  Further, there are punishments and penalties associated with these.  Deterrence is really about controlling deviance.  Deviance is the concept wherein someone acts in a manner that is contrary to the norm.  Many crimes are deviant and by being deviant, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is a crime.  The legal system advocates that the punishment must fit the crime (Akers 2013).  This has been effective in mitigating a majority of the crime in contemporary society.  The law aims to make the severity of the punishment proportional to the harm that it has caused society.  When someone commits a crime, they make a decision with their own free will and accord.  They choose to commit because they have done a rationale calculation of the risk of pain versus potential pleasure derived from the act.  Further it is factored in the; likelihood of being caught and the penalties involved if caught.  What is actually going on is the one who committed the crime seeks an expected utility.  This theory says that “people will make rational decisions based on the extent to which they expect the choice to maximize their profits or benefits and minimize the costs and losses” (Akers, p.  23, 2013).    Therefore, those who commit a wrong against another consider the law when actually doing crime.  However, there is something that is not being executed accordingly by the legal professions in an effective way. 

As mentioned, the court documents are a matter of public record however, shouldn’t legal professionals consider doing more for their clientele and the society at large?  Before discussing the interventions in question, it is important to know about the theory of consensus.  Consensus states that “the formal system of laws and enforcement [is] incorporate[ed] .. in society on which there is the greatest normative consensus” (Akers, p.  23, 2013).  This creates “solidarity”.  There are two types of solidarity, “mechanical solidarity” which essentially where societies members are integrated by common values and beliefs.  And, “organic solidarity,” where society is held together by functional interdependence.  Solidary gives the government social control.  Informal social control is within the family, friends, groups, churches, neighborhoods etc.  And, formal social control is the law, the criminal justice system which then rules are legally enforced.  Social control is a normative system of rules dictating the way people should act or behave.  Now with all this explained, it becomes clear that legal professionals should consider the use of art to create consensus and to deter people from criminal acts. 

By using art, it will not only help attain informal social control but has the ability to reshape societies’ formal control.  For the purposes of this essay, it will refer to the more general term “social control” which should help intrigue the imagination of the reader.  Social control is necessary because it helps determine what in society is going to be normative so that consensus can be attained.  The legal system and the legal professionals can use art, in the form of videos, music, images, etc.  To help their cause in a court battle.  By utilizing art, the attorney or the prosecutor can help gain the publics support for their cause. 

The use of art specifically can result in a form of shaming which then deters the criminals from committing crime.  Shaming involves labelling and labelling has the ability to cause pain and further it changes the trajectory of the persons life.  With that said, the use of art should occur near the verdict of the judge so that the majority of the facts have been conveyed to the judge and the jury.  Using art can be a resort or a tactic or a strategy by which to affect the consensus of the case.  By using art it can help convey abstract pertinences relevant to the case.  With these abstractions it could help create an adversarial conflict for normativity.  For example, the issue with marijuana and the many cases that were fought in the court of British Columbia specifically for possession.  Had attorneys and prosecutors used art, they would have catalyzed the legal status of it sooner, preventing numerous imprisonments against the innocent.  What is important to note here is that by using art as a tool to affect society, it creates a way to shame the other side or the opposition. 

“Shaming is invoking remorse in the person being shamed and/ or condemnation by others who become aware of shaming” (Akers, p.  146, 2013).  There are two forms of shaming there is disintegrative shaming which is stigmatization and reintegrative shaming which seeks to reconcile the criminal into society.  It is therefore at the discretion of the legal professionals as to how they use their art to help guide the society to the right direction.  Clearly the severity of the crime needs to be considered and with the competency of the legal professionals they can strategize their art in the direction that supports their client.  The use of art therefore provides more value to the clientele because effective and long lasting change can be created to help ease the pain and suffering of the client.

SOCIAL: SHOULD THERE BE A STATUTE OR LAW FOR ENTERTAINERS

Mariah Carey once sang, " then a hero comes along. With the strength to carry on....."  In entertainment there have been injustices that have caused severe repricussions to those providing entertainment to the people of the state.  Such manifestations of injustice include and are not limited to aggressive push back on the paparazzi, evasion, sex tapes, nude photo leaks, awkward and rude statements towards entertainers.  Yes, entertainers, should avoid these if they dont want to get affected but they also should take responsibility, afterall thats why they are entertainers in the public eye, because they can withstand these things and become resillient.  Now, with that said.  Accounting has- the Income Tax Act, Medicine has the Health Professions Act and Law has the Legal Proffessions Act.  Specically these three professions each have a Code of Conduct which dictates how they should conduct themselves within the profession.  Is it not time that an Entertainment Act be created?  So that such injustice as mentioned can be alleviated and that these entertainment personelle conduct action that is ethical?
