    Do none of you watch Judge Judy? cheeky

    The Polish room doesn't look like the Judge Judy stage setup either. Judy has podiums for plaintiff and defendant. There are no lawyer tables or chairs turned with backs to the judge facing the (non existent) lawyer tables.

    No. Should we? Seems to be daytime TV. A full time job gets in the way a bit. Regards, Richard

    are corporate cases held in the same courts?

    Generally. A civil case (not a criminal case) in the US has fewer jurers (between 5 and 9 or so depending on the state, rather than the default 12 in a criminal matter). But the jury box is usually big enough to hold 15-16 jurers or more for high profile cases where jurers might be recused mid trial.

    The person who mentioned appeals courts might have been on to something, if there were space for a three judge tribunal (US appelate courts). Private meeting with judges (away from the jury) are done in the judge's chambers, which is just a fancy name for an office.

     I was called for jury duty on two corporations who were going after each other. One offered a service and a contract was signed with terms, the service was performed it and the other corporation refused to pay for the service. Yet the improvements to their corporation were available to them. Normal superior court house.

    Something like 200 jury duty possibles were called, so they could weed out anyone with links to either corporation or family members with links. I am lucky they sat a jury before they got to me. Excused from jury duty with credit. But this was in Santa Maria CA and while a superior court, the municipal courts we had in Lompoc CA, the layout was the same.

    But it was held in the same court house and set-up that we expect to see in most places. But maybe big city immigration courts, appeals courts and of course the US Supreme Court does not.

    What is 'the new Chiang shader', which Art Ken has used elsewhere?

  • backgroundbackground Posts: 767

    Not that I'm one to complain ( Ya Right! ) but I think some of todays's new releases resemble that which promotes the growth of plants.

    It must be challenging to work at one of today's Urban Skyscapers. Massive buildings, but with only one door to get in or out of. I hope there's never a fire in any of them.

    Why didn't the basketball court come out yesterday? It could have been part of the bundle if renamed:

    "Lawyer's Urban Basketball Court"

    The courthouse isn't the only court where lawyers rule.

     I was curious too. But the hair is strand and the surfaces tab reflect Omni shaders. So, maybe a coloring shader pack the PA created themself and is sharing?

    Glad, you pointed it out. I have purchased his earlier product:

    so can check, if the shader can be reused on the other hairs, as well.

    Yet the US flags suggest it is a US courtroom. Are there any hearings in the US where there is judicial review of the actions of corporate or government bodies where the judge may be sitting alone? The UK does have such things & I was wondering if the related US system might have it too. The UK also has branches of family law where the judge sits alone (custody hearings spring to mind) because a jury is not appropriate or needed for what's being considered.

    Regards,

    Richard

    I think a lot of Family Law cases are heard by judges only here. Bench trials are legal in the US, even in criminal cases. The Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial has to be formally waived. That waiver process varies depending on whether the trial is in a Federal or state court, with each state having its own laws on jury trial waivers.

    Yuck. So much for infection control, or even basic hygiene. 

    It doesn't look like any medical setting I have ever been in, or seen in a movie/TV show. Except the area in the top of the main promo is set up similar to the frame display area of my eye doctor's office. Just needs different props and shelves, plus a few mirrors.

    But architecturally, why create a room in the courthouse that is limited to only certain trial types? Most cases will involve a jury box and a witness stand. Even if you have a dedicated room for some other kind of trial, why build the room specifically for that when that room might be used for something else 5 or 10 years from now? Only the appellate case where there are multiple judges requires specific arrangements of seating, And there aren't a lot of appellate courts being built often.

    yeah..make the room customizable.like a courtroon construction kit.  All the desks, chairs, etc etc to create what kind of courtroom you want. Wouldn't have been much more work than what was already completed.

    Both of those hair products look way too shiny in the promos. It looks like fake doll hair to me.I don't own either one to see if it is just the promo lighting or if it really renders that way. Does it look natural to you?

    His hair shaders always look fake to me. They mostly turn out various shades of purple. I use his hairs with ChevyBabe's shaders.

    The recliner in the corner with the IV setup makes me wonder if it's meant for some sort of infusion? Maybe one of those trendy Hollywood things? It would have to be unimaginably upscale to devote that much space to ONE patient at a time.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 8,027

    it looks like a chemo setup. The other side is for consultation. No sinks is pretty strange though. . I've been in quite a few chemo centers, and they do have private rooms like that.. It has more to do with patient condition and what proceedure is going on. Some people prefer privacy as well.

    I have not rendered those hairs yet, but maybe it can be used for dolls hair.

    I've never been in a private exam room this big. Even the MRI room at the local hospital is smaller.

    Browsing today's sales page, I misread this item as "Winterdad"

    Apparently, a hringe is an Old English word for a ring-shaped buckle or brooch. I've no idea why such things would be scattered in this woman's hairstyle

    My guess? Out-of-order release, or maybe what's supposed to be in the spot that's turning up blank/error on the sales page. 

  • WendyLuvsCatzWendyLuvsCatz Posts: 40,849

    since they have a college dorm and a college classroom, I also guess the cafeteria is still coming

    Linday's new Carribean Street Vignettes are a dead ringer for the La Plata area as well, especially Montevideo's Ciudad Vieja and Palermo or Buenos Aires' La Boca vicinities.

    I love how the environment and the car complement each other, they both look gorgeous. I always take my time to appreciate Lindsay’s promos, there’s clearly a lot of work and photography knowledge behind them.
