Introduction
Court system is very complicated. Maintaining justice is one of the most difficult affairs. Court has to consider lots of aspects before providing a decision. Whatever decision is made there will always be people who consider it fair and those who consider it unfair. Justice is a notion which is very difficult to achieve. It is impossible to create a decision where everyone is satisfied. People perceive different situations differently. There are cases when settlements become the results of the court trial. Whether to consider this decision as justice prevails or not is people’s right.
Discussion
The court decision is influenced by lots of aspects. Different evidences, witnesses, people’s biases and other issues are the aspects which are usually taken into consideration while court procedure. People’s biases have very strong influence on justice provided. People have the base which was given them from their childhood and according to which they make decisions whether case is fair or not. These biases are very difficult to avoid as they stay in people’s subconsciousness and people often even do not notice how these biases influence their decisions.
Settlements became one of the most frequent case conclusions. Many cases end with settlements. Is it so easy to finish the case by settlement? No. People finish cases by means of settlements in the cases when they can come to the agreement. It is too difficult to come to the agreement as the court trial means that people could not come to the common decision. But still people manage to come to agreement in the courtrooms.
My strict opinion is that money is one of the main reasons why people come to agreement. During the court procedure people may understand that what they want from their opponent is impossible to get, so people begin to search for some other ways to get at least something. If people agree to take offered money, all the procedure ends in settlement.
It is very difficult to tell whether justice is achieved in this case or not as every case should be considered separately. It may be just mentioned that those who pay money carry punishment anyway. They spend their money on strange people, is it not a punishment? It is, even if it considered being financial. Those who take money may think that the truth was not achieved. But it is already their problem as they agreed to receive money and to refuse from court procedure.
There are people whose biases do not allow them to settlement agreements. These people fight to the end and have to be satisfied with the court’s decision. Settlements are not the crimes. People just decide to finish the court procedure peacefully, without any quarrels. Settlement means that one person has to concede while the other should be ready for some expenditure in order to provide this settlement.
Conclusion
So, settlements in courtrooms may be considered as a justice prevails in the cases when people have managed to come to agreements. These cases may be considered both as fair and unfair. Some people may think that accused person has not got what he/she had to. The others think that paying money is one of the ways of punishment. Justice is very subjective notion. Some people consider this action to be fair the others that and it is impossible to maintain justice that everybody could agree with.
