As a paralegal, it may be your job to file documents, either in person, or electronically, and to then serve the complaint and summons on the defendant. Each court has its own process for filing and serving the defendant, and it will be your job to ensure you are aware of the process. Some states and the federal court system use e-filing. This is the process by which you file documents in a case using the internet. For your assignment this week, research the filing fees, procedure for filing and obtaining a summons in your local state and federal court. Explain in a few paragraphs the following:

• The filing fee for a complaint in Wisconsin court
• The filing fee for the federal court which has jurisdiction over your hometown (Colby, WI)
• The process for filing a complaint in your local state court (WI)
• The process for filing a complaint in the federal court with jurisdiction over your hometown (Colby, WI)
• Once the defendant has been served with the complaint, how long will the defendant have to respond to the complaint?
• If the Defendant was served on this assignment’s due date, what date would he be required to respond to the complaint by under your state’s rules? How did you calculate this date?

Review “Anytown Historical Timeline.” Notice there
are missing details for some very significant events since the 1993 World Trade
Center bombing. All of these events impacted the development of the field of
emergency management, some to a lesser extent than you might imagine. For
example, it would be reasonable to assume that the bombings of the World Trade
Center in 1993 and the Murrah Federal Building in 1995 drastically impacted
preparedness at locations agreed upon to be likely targets for terrorist attacks.
If that were the case; however, significant questions should arise about
persistent vulnerabilities exposed by later terrorist attacks. Likewise, though
the United States has faced numerous devastating natural disasters over the
past century, as was made evident in “Hurricane Katrina: A Nation Still
Unprepared,” our experiences have not necessarily translated into improved
preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery practices. It is your job to
investigate some tough questions about the state of emergency management in the
nation and complete the following two-part assignment:

Part 1:

Research the events and laws on the timeline since 1993 that
are missing details. For each of the seven points:

Investigate what impact these events and legislation had on
preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery in the United States.

Summarize the impacts in the description fields on your own
timeline.

Include the development of key practices, laws, standards,
agencies, organizations, and systems related to these events in your
descriptions where appropriate.

Use the attached “Nation Prepared Timeline PPT Template” to
complete Part 1 of the assignment. Your completed timeline project should be
15-20 slides in length. Include a reference slide with 6-8 sources.

While APA format is not required for the body of this
assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and
references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be
found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.

Part 2:

Your goal in Part 1 of the assignment is to demonstrate key
developments in the field related to the seven significant points on “A
Nation Prepared Timeline.” Your goal in Part 2 is analyze some key events
more closely in order to assess the state of preparedness in the nation
today. The objective is to identify s critical vulnerabilities and
recommend corrective actions.

Research three emergencies or disasters from “EMM-300
Historical Timeline” and address the following (750-1,000 words):

How did those events impact the handling of later disasters?
For example, would you say Hurricane Sandy was handled differently or more
successfully based on lessons learned from Katrina? Why or why not? Where can
you pinpoint evidence of improved practice in the emergency management field?

Then, based on your research in this course, discuss the
country’s remaining vulnerabilities. What gains can you confidently say have
been made in the dimensions of preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery
since 911 and Hurricane Katrina? Where is our nation still most vulnerable?
What must be done to address those vulnerabilities? How can government
agencies, organizations, and emergency management systems work more effectively
together to provide seamless responses to major emergency or disaster
situations?

Finally, discuss your responsibility as an emergency
responder or manager and citizen to make sure your community is as prepared as
possible for emergency situations.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines
found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An
abstract is not required

As a probation officer, you have been asked by the principle of the local high school to present information during the weekly assembly on chemical addiction and treatment options.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or
  school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
  instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the
  assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title,
  and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in
  the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

Using three (3) specific selections from this week’s selection from Chapter 3, discuss what ideas/expectations shape women’s bodies? How do multiple (intersecting) statuses (gender and race/gender and sexuality) affect social expectations and pressures on women’s bodies? Where do you see the need for social change?

Remember to put your reading selections in conversation with one another, noting similarities in major ideas, conflicting perspectives, etc. Write at least 700 words (about 2-3 double-spaced pages). Failing to meet this minimum length will result in an automatic 5 point deduction from your score. Incorporate direct quotations from a minimum of 4 selections total from the assigned readings and provide a list of works cited formatted in MLA style. Introduce the quotations, give the context (title of selection, author), and include page numbers in your citation. Not including a correctly formatted list of works cited will result in an automatic 5 point deduction from your score.

Note: This assignment has been given a 3 day extension. All papers are do between the 15-18th. NO papers will be accepted after the 18th.
