Each year, COALA asks students to write an essay on a certain subject to enter the chance to win a day of spending time learning about our legal community. They are sponsored by COALA and attend all of the law day activities. They are also shown different areas such as a Judge’s chambers and an actual Jail cell. This year COALA decided to ask for essays from the two ABA approved Legal Assistant Programs. One recipient is attending the University of Oklahoma’s Legal Assistant Program and the other is attending the Rose State College Legal Assistant Program. With their permission, their essays are below. Way to Go! No Courts, No Justice, No Freedom Law Day 2012 Essay By Jaquetta Simmons There is a commonality that exists between the elements of courts, justice, and freedom. We pledge allegiance to our nation's flag and acknowledge the "republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." The republic represents the courts and governmental entities, liberty represents freedom, and justice is just that. Justice for all. The commonality found amongst these three elements is the Constitution. Our nation is structured and governed by the principles of the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution begins: "We the People of the United States; in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity..." Before the Constitution was created, a system of state courts was in existence. Article III of the Constitution states the basis for the Federal Court System. Evidently, without the Constitution of the United States, we would not have the opportunity to celebrate Law Day or its theme for this year: No Courts, No Justice, No Freedom. PAGE 3 L.A. TIMES Volume 31 No. 1 © 2012 The Judicial Court System is comprised of state courts also known as trial courts, and federal courts. Under the Federal Court System is the Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals and District Courts. The U.S. Supreme Court is the highest court authority of our nation and is considered to be the law of the land. In trial courts, we fact find and establish truth. Appellate courts review the decisions of trial courts through the process of appeals. John Locke, a VI' Century philosopher in the Enlightened Thinking Philosophical Era believed, "People form governments largely to preserve life, liberty, and property, and to assure justice." The court system's primary purpose is to establish and promote equal justice under the law through interpretation and application of the law. Justice results in equality and freedom. Locke's political theories had great influence on this nation's Constitution and its founding fathers' beliefs regarding justice and freedom for all mankind. Because Locke believed true justice comes from laws, Locke argued the branch of government that makes laws should be the most powerful. With the Judicial Court System being the third branch of government, we are guaranteed the right to a speedy and fair trial. "The judiciary is the safeguard of our liberty and property under the constitution." (Charles Evans Hughes, Sr., Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Speech at Elmira, New York, 1907). Consequently, our courts still function under these same values today. It has been noted that the role of the court is to establish justice under the law. Justice is the constant and perpetual disposition to render every man his due. In the Civil Rights Era, many people fought for equality and social justice. The Women's Rights Movement brought forth equality and justice for women. Some individuals may argue that justice is separate and PAGE 4 L.A. TIMES Volume 31 No. 1 © 2012 is the constant and perpetual disposition to render every man his due. In the Civil Rights Era, many people fought for equality and social justice. The Women's Rights Movement brought forth equality and justice for women. Some individuals may argue that justice is separate and unequal. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Although we live in a democracy, this nation has overcome many obstacles and barriers to lead us to freedom. According to our National Anthem, our nation is "the land of the free, and the home of the brave." Immigrants describe our country as free, meaning we have the ability to do what we want, when we want, and how we want, as long as we abide by the rules and laws established before us. Freedom is a much desired ideal. The founders of our country went to war, only to be able to achieve something that our country now takes for granted. While freedom seems like a right, it is still a privilege to many people around the world. We have had to earn it. The United States Declaration of Independence proclaims that "all men are created equal ...with certain unalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Liberty and justice are much like freedom in the fact that everyone will have a different perspective of the definition. Freedom is a word with many different perceptions, and even though it seems it should be a right, it is still seen as a privilege that has to be earned . PAGE 5 L.A. TIMES Volume 31 No. 1 © 2012 The Constitution is our nation's blue print for the courts, social equality, justice, and freedom. This nation has faced many triumphs to obtain justice and freedom among the human race in and out of court. However, many times, individuals allow these privileges to be taken away, Without the Constitution, without the courts following the principles and fundamentals of the Constitution, other ideologies and theories which lay the foundation for this country, justice and freedom may not exist. We would be in a world filled with turmoil and our nation may not be the greatest nation in the world known for its riches of freedom and justice. Immigrants would not flock to our country to gain a new start and have a prosperous future. Because of the Constitution, in honor of Law Day 2012, we are able to recognize the theme: No Courts, No Justice, No Freedom, because our nation is the most powerful nation in the world. My hope is that one day these three elements will not be taken advantage of. Through education, discipline, self growth, respect for one another, and the continued efforts of our military, the United States can remain the most powerful nation in the world for many years to come.

TIMES Volume 31 No. 1 © 2012 No Courts, No Justice, No freedom Law Day 2012 Essay By: Sallie Snipes In today's society, we take our freedom for granted, thinking nothing about what our lives would be like without it. Without our court systems, there would be no opportunity for justice, and with no justice we would lose our freedom to whoever had control. John Marshall commented on this saying " the people made the Constitution, and the people can unmake it. It is the creature of their own will, and lives only by their will." Democracy vs. Dictatorship. The United States has been a democracy since it became a country. Our system was set up to ensure that no branch of government would have more power than another. The freedom of choice is ultimately important, and since the public makes the industry in nations, they will choose what is best for the nation. Each American is given the opportunity to have a say in the shaping of this country. The right to vote, the freedom of speech, the right to have their case heard in a court of law and the right to make their own choices; within the boundaries of the law. In the system of dictatorship, decisions are not made by the people. The leader or elite group at the head of the government decide on new policies, economic measures, and using tactic of force and indoctrination to make sure the public abides by these rules. An example of this would be the Soviet Union dictatorial rule from 1917 to 1985. Under the rule of Vladimir Lenin, he attempted to control every aspect of political, economic, and social life. Glorification is a common technique used in dictatorships to ensure that the people are faithful and committed to the government in power. Indoctrination and censorship encouraged nationalism and spread the communist ideology. Youth groups such as the "little octoberists" came into being for the younger generation, helping to shape and integrate the idea of a government owned country. Adolf Hitler, a great admirer of Lenin, attempted the same tactic in WWII. What started out as a movement soon became a national way of life. People did not have the freedom to have their own views or ideas. If one were to speak out against the government or act against them in any way, they were killed or sent to concentration camps. The right to a trial, or the idea of "innocent till proven guilty" was nonexistent. Hitler and his small group of advisors held an iron grip on the nation that soon spread over much of Eastern Europe. PAGE 7 L.A. TIMES Volume 31 No. 1 © 2012 A central principle of the United States system of government holds that judges should be able to reach decisions free from political pressure. That not one person or group would completely control the legal system. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice, and...when they fail to do this purpose they become dangerously structured dames that block the flow of social progress." Checks and balances were set up between our executive, legislative, and judicial parties ensuring that one would not have power over the other. As Americans living in a democracy, we have the opportunity to elect a president from the political party that is similar to our views. Every person over the age of 18, who has not been convicted of a felony or is here illegally, has the right to vote through the practice of secret ballot. Civil liberties are guaranteed to the people through the constitution and no legislation will be passed that violates any citizen's rights. Our court system is set up so that if we do not feel like we got a fair trial, we can appeal to the next higher court. Dr. Rufus Fears points out that there are basically three types of freedom: nation, individual and political. National freedom is the independence of a political state. Political freedom is the right of citizens of a political state to participate in government and the right to a fair trial. Individual freedom is the freedom to do and say what we choose so long as it does not hurt anyone. The freedom of speech, assembly, religion, freedom to choose where you live or what job. Our founders worked hard to create a government that was strong enough to protect the country from being ruled, which is why they came to America. The option to fair representation before the law and equal participation in the government. National and political freedom cannot exist without individual freedom. We as Americans have a gift that over the years has been taken for granted. As a younger generation that has not had to go through hardships or battles to keep our rights and protect our country, we forget and become lazy. We complain about what the government does not do, or what is wrong with our system, but yet many of us take no action to make a change. We have the opportunity and the freedom to express our views, whereas many other countries do not. Now like any other government out there, our country is by no way perfect, but when we as Americans give up the right to vote or make decisions we turn that power over to a small collective group. When you look at the percentage of people that voted 50 years ago, and then look at the percentage today, you will see that it has gone down drastically. People either don't care, don't want to vote, or get too caught up in themselves and what's going on in their lives that they don't take part in the voting process. If our society continues this downhill turn, we might one day find ourselves in a government PAGE 8 L.A. TIMES Volume 31 No. 1 © 2012 controlled society. When the people do not take control of the power given to them and use that to voice their opinions they release that power back to the government for them to make decisions for us. This would be a disastrous move as without our power, we would lose our voice as a people, our courts would no longer rule the same way, which in turn would affect our justice system. Freedom is earned not given. Dick Cheney said "It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you." PAGE 9 Volume 31 No. 1 © 2012 L.A.

TIMES COALA MEMBER PROFILES Diane Dockrey Capps, formerly known as Diane Bright, Diane Cornett and Diane Cherry. She has one son, Rob Bright, and three beautiful grandchildren, Brandon, age 22, Amanda, almost 16, and Sarah, almost 14. Unfortunately, they live in Columbus, Ohio. Her husband is Don Capps and they have been together for 16 years. They have five furry friends; 3 dogs and 2 cats. They run the household and her and her husband just pay the mortgage. Diane watched Perry Mason as a child and was enamored with his legal secretary, Della. Diane always wanted to be like her so instead of going to college, she started out on her legal profession as a legal secretary for a general practice law firm in Minot, North Dakota when she was 19 years old. She was hooked. She specialized in estate planning and probate starting out at Crowe & Dunlevy as a secretary for 8-1/2 years and then again specialized in estate planning and probate at Hartzog Conger Cason & Neville for 25 years as a paralegal; and lastly specialized in estate planning and probate working for Tom Adler at The Kline Firm for the last 4 years until her retirement in September of 2011. She hopes to work part-time in the near future. She was certified by NALA as a paralegal in 1990. She has the utmost appreciation for the law profession and especially for the hard-working paralegals and legal secretaries. She has made many friends and she attends her First Wednesday Group once a month which consists of mostly women who work in the law profession. Her only hobby is scrapbooking. She has been involved with OPA and COALA since 1982 serving as an officer and on several committees at both organizations. Ramona L. German is a Certified Paralegal with Mahaffey & Gore, P.C., an energy law firm established in 1980, which now offices in a renovated 1929 building in the Deep Deuce area of Oklahoma City. Ramona had gained experience in the areas of Corporate Law, Title, Litigation and Administrative Law, when in 2003 she accepted the position of Personal Legal Assistant to Gregory L. Mahaffey, Shareholder and President of Mahaffey & Gore, P.C. Mr. Mahaffey concentrates his practice in the areas of Oklahoma Corporation Commission matters and oil and gas litigation. She was interviewed and hired while Mr. Mahaffey was supporting OU at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, and likes to remind him "that is what can happen when you go out of state and leave someone else in charge." Growing up in Tuskahoma in Southeastern Oklahoma, Ramona inherited her mother's love of sewing and reading. She collects Barbie Dolls (yes, Barbie Dolls) vintage costume jewelry and hankies, and also collects hard back copies of books by authors such as Daniel Silva, Dan Brown, Lilian Jackson Braun and Dr. Seuss. In 2005 she designed and built her home in Stonehaven Addition in Del City, which she shares with her kitty, Nattie Mae. She also enjoys teaching women's classes and has been an active member of the Del City Church of Christ for twenty years. She is a Thunder season ticket holder, and uses her sewing skills to build a one-of-a-kind Thunder wardrobe. You would probably have to see it to believe it. In 2009 Ramona completed an Associate Degree in Paralegal Studies from Rose State College and in 2010 earned Certification from NALA. That was also the year she received a certificate from Weight Watchers for having lost 100 pounds – one of her greatest personal accomplishments. PAGE 15 Volume 31 No. 1 © 2012 L.A.
