Court

A court is a tribunal, often as governmental institution, with the authority to adjudicate legal disputes between parties and carry out the administration of justice in civil, criminal, and administrative matters in accordance with the rule of law. In both common law and civil law legal systems, courts are the central means for dispute resolution, and it is generally understood that all persons have an ability to bring their claims before a court. Similarly, the rights of those accused of a crime include the right to present a defense before a court.

The system of courts that interprets and applies the law is collectively known as the judiciary. The place where a court sits is known as a venue. The room where court proceedings occur is known as a courtroom, and the building as a courthouse; court facilities range from simple and very small facilities in rural communities to large buildings in cities.

The practical authority given to the court is known as its jurisdiction (Latin jus dicere) – the court's power to decide certain kinds of questions or petitions put to it. According to William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, a court is constituted by a minimum of three parties: the actor or plaintiff, who complains of an injury done; the reus or defendant, who is called upon to make satisfaction for it, and the judex or judicial power, which is to examine the truth of the fact, to determine the law arising upon that fact, and, if any injury appears to have been done, to ascertain and by its officers to apply a legal remedy. It is also usual in the superior courts to have barristers, and attorneys or counsel, as assistants, though, often, courts consist of additional barristers, bailiffs, reporters, and perhaps a jury.

Mountain Creek

Mountain Creek is a ski resort in Vernon Township, New Jersey on Route 94, 47 miles (76 km) from the George Washington Bridge, making it the ski resort closest to New York City. It offers 167 skiable acres on four mountain peaks, complete night skiing/snowboarding, and an expansive snowmaking program.

Besides skiing and snowboarding, the resort offers one of the nation's largest snow tubing park, multiple zip-lines, and an alpine coaster. Mountain Creek is also home to a seasonal water park that operates from May to September.

Mountain Creek was owned and operated by Intrawest through May 2010, when it was sold to neighboring Crystal Springs Resort, creating the region's largest all-season vacation resort.

History

1965–71: Great Gorge Resort

Great Gorge Resort was founded in McAfee, an unincorporated area of Vernon Township, in 1965 by three families (Kurlander, Fitzgerald, & the Bakers) who worked at the now-closed Snow Bowl Ski Resort in Milton, New Jersey. They worked at Snow Bowl and learned everything they needed to know about snow making and ski area operations. Great Gorge was built on the former Fredericks farm. There are rumors that in the early 1940s there was a small rope tow on the property. So the property was perfect for Jack Kurlander's vision.

The Property (artists colony)

The Property was the name of an artists colony located in Malibu that lasted from 1962 to 1993. It was home to artists and actors like Lita Albuquerque, Elyn Zimmerman, Arthur Malet, Patrick Villiers Farrow, Mia Farrow and Michael Greene.

History

The Property was located on the 132-acre land that had housed Malibu's Coffee House Positano, on a hill overlooking California's highway 1. The coffee house became a focal point for southern California artists of the '60s and '70s to congregate and collaborate. It housed live avant-garde theater, political debates, lectures and art displays including the premiere of a play by Picasso.

Soon after Positano closed in 1962, John Wilder, an actor and budding scriptwriter, and Jerry Ziegman, also an aspiring screenwriter, established an artists community on the location simply called "The Property." Initially, Ziegman's intention was to use the place as a weekend retreat to relax and have parties. This evolved into an attempt to invent a new kind of artists colony. Ziegman believed that creativity was insufficiently rewarded in America, and wanted to rent spaces to artists he thought could benefit from having an inexpensive place to work and live. In his uncompleted memoir, Malibu Book 1962-1982, he characterized his creation as a “Commune of Autocrats.”
