Is it true that The federal courts only have jurisdiction to hear cases involving federal law. ?
Federal courts can hear a state case if it is ancillary to the federal case. There is also diversity jurisdiction by which the court can hear a state case if all the parties live in different states. They can also hear cases in which one state sues a different state.
The classification of the law case?
I read an article on Toronto star about the embryo mix-up in the fertility clinic. Basically the careless doctor injected the wrong embryo into the woman, and so the woman bore other people's child.
Is that considered as tort law? If not, which private law category should it fall under?The classification of the law case?
This is definitely a case of medical malpractice.

Law - Cases of two employees killed whilst carrying out their business. Is driver covered by insurance.?
Two employees electricians driving to carry out a job for their employer. A truck hits them head on and both employees are killed instantly. The employer says that only the passenger will be covered by the insurance company not the driver. Is this the case in Scotland.
An inquest was held into the accident and no driving offence was committed. The accident was put down to low sun glare causing the driver of the van to cross his line and lead to the accident.Law - Cases of two employees killed whilst carrying out their business. Is driver covered by insurance.?
Hmmmm, thats a tough one, if the sun was low the driver could have put the sun visor does and sat up in his chair to block out the sun, but as he was not totally at fault and under the influence of alcohol or drugs or breaking the speed limit i dont see why the insurance would become void. There is something not right there!
Sounds like the employer is trying to pull a fast one becuase he would have to pay more for the driver than he would for the passenger!

How long does a judge have to make a judgement after a trial in a california family law case?
I'm not sure about California laws, but in the constitution, it states that everyone has the right to a speedy due process. I don't think the judge can sit on it for a long period of time.
Recent shield law cases?
I'm writing a paper and I'm trying to find some recent cases involving confidential sources and shield laws in journalism. I'm already using information about Judith Miller and Josh Wolf, but I need at least one that's from within the past few months--preferably one that hasn't been settled yet. I don't need any info, just names of people or the case itself so I can do some research. Thanks in advance for any help!Recent shield law cases?
Here is one
http://crime.about.com/od/current/a/kobe鈥?/a>Recent shield law cases?
You may be interested in the recent federal shield law which passed the House and Senate Judiciary Committee (it's awaiting a full Senate vote) includes protection for ';non-casual'; bloggers, which may or may not have applied to Wolf. I believe it's included in H.R. 2102.
Best of luck.

Why does the court decide to strike down the law mandate segregation in schools but not the law in other cases
Brown V Board
Frontiero V RichardsonWhy does the court decide to strike down the law mandate segregation in schools but not the law in other cases
In the first citation you posted the Supreme Court did decide that segregated public schools were a violation of the 14th Amendment and, in that decision, they overturned their previous decision in Plessy Vs. Ferguson in the 19th Century. That second citation reflected something new in the military. That was the case of female members who had male spouses and those spouses were not considered to be dependents. In any case, the Court ruled that practice to be unconstitutional. In my last overseas assignment I served with a female Navy Captain and her male spouse was considered to be a dependent husband and he had the ID card to prove it.
In short, both cases are done and corrections were made. Anytime there is a perceived wrong with some law, that law can be challenged through a ';test case'; to determine if the law is constitutional. Such was the case with Lieutenant Frontiero.Why does the court decide to strike down the law mandate segregation in schools but not the law in other cases
Could it be 1st they struck down the ten commandments. Just a thought. Seems ever since that happened school's are plagued with violence. Just a thought!

Can I get some help finding an attorney willing to take my lemon law case??
My truck is an unsafe vehicle sold to me based on lies from small dealership. I have a lemon law case, but I can't afford to pay an attorney for representation. Can someone help me with this?? My truck has almost gotten me killed twice because it just dies out. The dealership is playing games with me. It's now at the dealership's mechanic, but I know it can't be fixed because the parts they need to make it a safe vehicle aren't available anymore.Can I get some help finding an attorney willing to take my lemon law case??
what kind of vehicle is it and it may not fall under a lemon law, depends on your state. let me know what kind of vehicle it is pleaseCan I get some help finding an attorney willing to take my lemon law case??
Have you checked online and researched the lemon law statute for your state? In some states the lemon law applies to (brand spanking) new cars only. So even if your car is a 2006, if it was previously owned at any point and time (such as a rental) then the lemon law does not apply. And any used car would not apply either. Find this out and be certain you're covered.
As far as an attorney, many states often have a non profit legal assistance hotline where you can get free legal advice between certain hours. If you're employed check your employee assistance program (EAP) if you have one. Many companies offer legal consultation to their employees either free and/or at a discount. You might be entitled to a free legal consult over the phone and an in office consultation at a discount.
Good luck.
ok first off is it a new car if not your screwed the lemon law does not cover used cars
You bought a 12 year old truck!!! You did not have it checked out by your own mechanic prior to purchase, or if you did he did not find a problem with it.
You now want to blame everyone but yourself for the problem, and want a lawyer to take the case without pay!! You say the dealer is working on the car now, but you (who of course do not know anything about vehicles when you bought the truck) now are an expert on what is wrong, and you know they can not make the truck safe.
I think you have changed your mind and want to get out of the deal. I do not think there is a lemon law case here. You are just trying to avoid responsibility for your own choices!!!
well with out a lawyer your ***** ed and the other thing you should have researched the car before you bought it
search for ';lemon Law'; lawyers in your state.start with the BBB lemon law service.
google usually brings them up..
and if it is indeed lemon law i know in CA the dealer has to end up paying any and all fee's..when its proved.

In cases of federal law, does the prosecution have just 100 days after arrest to bring the accused to trial?
I have read that the prosecution has 30 days to seek an indictment or information, and then another 70 days to start the trial, which means that a total of 100 days is allowed by law from arrest to trial? Is this true?
Thank you for you help.
Joe ConradIn cases of federal law, does the prosecution have just 100 days after arrest to bring the accused to trial?
Yes, what you said is generally true, subject to numerous qualifications (e.g. if the grand jury is not in session in the district where the charges are to be filed, the prosecution gets an additional 30 days to file an indictment; the 70-day time limit starts to run from either the filing of the indictment or the defendant's initial court appearance, whichever occurs later; etc.).

When law is not upheld; why does it represent precedence in future cases?
in a nut shell, there are too many liberal Judges on the bench who ignore the law, and legislate from the bench. Review the case history of the 9th district court of appeals, out of San Fransisco. This motley bunch of liberal pinheads have more over turns than any where else...look it up for your self... please do( that was for the most part, for the ';liberals'; who will absolutely disagree as they are either in denial or just plain part of the corruption to force their will on the land).
Contract law case involving limited number of products?
Is there a case in contract law where someone promises a group of people a reward for completing a quiz correctly, but then they don't have enough of the reward to give it to all of them. I seem to remember reading it but can't find it anywhere?! Its something to do with the principle of the reasonable person I think, like it was unreasonable for them to have enough for everyone so its not contractually binding?Contract law case involving limited number of products?
The contract is binding. He promised this group a reward, so he must pay.
If he doesn't pay, the other parties may sue for damages.Contract law case involving limited number of products?
The only example I can think of where the 'reasonable person' logic comes into play is in advertising, where a mistaken advertisement offers to sell a product for a price which no reasonable person would expect to be correct. For instance selling a car for $1.
While the advertisement would normally be considered a binding offer, the reasonable person doctrine would allow that offer to be withdrawn, since no reasonable person would expect to get a car for $1.
Careful with the reasonable man standard.
Off the top of my head, in Law School we studied the case of a store running an ad stating that fur and mink coats were to be sold to the first person in line at THIS specific store at THIS specific time for THIS specific price.
The store claimed that it didn't owe this man anything because it was simply an ad and the reasonable man would not expect to get an article of that caliber for that cheap.
Wrong.
An ad that is THAT specific constitutes and qualifies as a legally binding contract.
There's all 6 elements to a contract in that ad and the relationship created by the first in line is considered the acceptance.
Hope this helps!

What is the criminal law case for somebody who stole a property from a private institution (like a hospital)?
I'm not sure which term to use. Theft, Larceny or something else, hehe.What is the criminal law case for somebody who stole a property from a private institution (like a hospital)?
It might be Plunder.What is the criminal law case for somebody who stole a property from a private institution (like a hospital)?
Stealing a property is illegal even from a non private institution. The sentence most likely depends on why the property was stolen, how and who the person is (like their past criminal records if any). The sentence can also change on how the verdict acts towards the judge. So your answer varies. Most likely theft.
The actual legal names will depend on jurisdiction. Different countries use different names, and you didn't tell us where you are. If you live in a Federal country then the different States and Provinces have different names too.
The name will also vary depending on ';how'; it was stolen. For example if you mugged a payroll clerk it might be robbery, if you broke in to her office at night it might be burglary, and if you are the payroll clerk and you took the money home with you it might be embezzlement.

Primarily because the Supreme Court can only issue a ruling on the case at hand, not all similar related issues. Typically, a ruling such as Brown will signal a shift in social policy and other laws and changes happen on their own.

Can I get a family law case adjourned by self representing myself?
If I self represent myself in court, can I request, or some other way get the case adjourned to allow me more time to arrange professional legal representation that I havent had time to arrange before the court case?Can I get a family law case adjourned by self representing myself?
You can ask. The court won't be real sympathetic if you've had plenty of time to find a lawyer already.Can I get a family law case adjourned by self representing myself?
You can always ask. Since you are self representing they are usually more lenient.
Weather you will get it depends on a lot of things.
But one question is who filed? Did you file or the other party? What kind of family law case is it? Is Time an issue?
For example an ex-parte (emergancy)hearing regarding the child custody due to safety issues will never be delayed. But the orders in these cases are only temporary until a formal full hearing is made.
If you filed the case, you may be less likely to get a delay than if the other person filed.
There are just too many things to guess with this little infomation. There are just tooo many types of family law to try to predict if the judge will give you a delay.
File a motion for continuance with the reasoning and serve it on the other party and file it with the court. Since it is just a motion for continuance, you don't have to make personal service. Just mail or fax the other party the motion and make sure you also file a signed and dated document stating that you sent it via fax, mail, hand delivered, etc. Make sure the signature on the affidavit for your reasoning is notarized though.
Don't wait til the last minute though. Do it immediately so your motion will more likely be granted. As long as you are asking for the continuance in good faith and for a valid reason (seeking counsel is usually grounds) then they will probably grant it. Just make sure you state that you are actively seeking representation and that it is not meant for delay.
If this is your first hearing then you might be able to have it adjourned in giving you time to get an attorney.
In self representing there is only the facts of evidence that is being heard and you can't do what attorneys does professionally. You don't want the wrong words to come out and you don't want to get the judge mad with also understanding that even if you request such to be adjourned it will be up to the judge for they don't usually like adjourned hearings for their schedule is a very busy one.
You can ask for a continuance, but it is up to the court. If the court thinks that your purpose was to delay the proceedings, or that you have had plenty of time to get counsel, then the motion for a continuance will be denied. If you ask for a reasonable continuance, and give plenty of notice, and give a decent reason why you are not ready, the motion will be granted.
Ask for a different hearing date. This may be possible by phone, forms or by simply asking the judge. It will depend on your particular court. Check the local court website for options.
If you can find your way around the Code of Civil Procedure for your state, you can do just about any action that is appropriate. It is all up to the judge to decide after that. You are expected to research such procedure.
It is called a continuance, from what I understand. Findlaw.com will have the full code for your state and it is free.

I am in the first stage of trying to resolve a dispute with Ford regarding my 2 year old van. It has been repaired for traction control issues 6 times and is still not fixed.

Anyone have any experiences with this type of issue?Did anyone ever have an experience contacting the better business bureau for a lemon law case with their car?
The better business bureau will be of no help, they will merely notify the dealer that there is a problem with a customer, and give them a chance to reply. They have no power whatsoever.

I recently traded my car in for a Nissan Armada and the brake light goes on while in drive. When you step on the brakes, the brakes vibrate and it seems the braking gets weaker as you depress the pedal. My atty advised to take Nissan to court rather than go thru BBB's arbitration program. Is my atty correct or is he just trying to get my money?Has anyone ever had a lemon law case?
The basic rules of 'Lemon Law' are tricky, firstly take the car back to the dealer and insist that they try to rectify the problem at there cost, if they refuse or they say they have done the repairs yet the problem's still there then threaten the dealer with 'Lemon Law'. This is a complicated law and can be used when all avenues have been tried and the dealer still refuses to rectify the problem. Be quick though as all car dealers try to weasel there way out of anything.Has anyone ever had a lemon law case?
I have a 2005 Armada and had the same problem, the dealer told me there was a recall on the brakes. The OEM brakes are not big enough,They replaced the brakes(3 months ago) I have not had a problem. If I were you I would take it to another Nissan Dealership.

Here are two BIG ones:
Miranda v. Arizona
Terry v. OhioWhat cases have impacted law enforcement practices?
O.K. how about these:
United States v. Draper - Setting the standard for probable cause.
Mapp v. Ohio - Evidence obtained by police illegally may not be used in court.
Chimel v. California - A warrant for an arrest does not justify searching the entire home.

Miranda v. Arizona
';you have the right to remain silent....';

Couple of things that has effected law enforcement is the guy backing into the patrol car and making the air bag inflate, alot of patrol cars have bumper guards on front end to prevent this now.Another is the police have cameras in their cars to prove their case in court.Both these have been a result of court cases.

Help with the law of sines and AAS ASA SSA cases?
So when you solve triangles for the AAS or ASA case, can you automatically assume that it has one solution? Unlike the SSA case where you have to check the lengths to see if you get one or two or no solutions? Or am I completely off?Help with the law of sines and AAS ASA SSA cases?

Where can I look up information on law firms? Previous cases, etc!?
I have a list of all my local law firms and I want to send them a resume. I need to gather some information about them so that I can send a cover letter as well. I don't know the web site for any of them and when I google them all I get is directions! Any suggestions?Where can I look up information on law firms? Previous cases, etc!?
Go to your local law library and ask for the reference librarian, they will help you. First, they will point you to Martindale-Hubbel - it will list the firms, associates+partners and the type of law they practice. You will also probably need Westlaw or LexisNexis - I think you could do the search in the hard copy books, but it might be tough.
It will take some work...What are you applying for anyhow? Also, what may help, if they are willing, is the career counselor in the law school - they know the different firms, etc...Where can I look up information on law firms? Previous cases, etc!?
lexis nexis and westlaw are def good places to start... but you should have gotten the details from their websites. just play around on the sites and you should find their grad recruitment programmes; contact details; HR depts; available positions; etc
also, sounds silly, but try the phone book ;-)

Did the O.J. Simpson Murder Trials of 1995 have any effect on future law cases throughout the U.S.?
Did the way that the entire trial was conducted (choosing of jurors and all) have any further influence on any other court cases in the U.S., even in the rest of the world? I am writing a paper on the O.J. case, source citations would be much appreciated. thanks.Did the O.J. Simpson Murder Trials of 1995 have any effect on future law cases throughout the U.S.?
.
No.
.
OJ did not win it; the Los Angeles Police Department and District Attorney Garcetti lost it. They managed to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.
You be the Judge:
1) Los Angeles PD was proven to have tampered with evidence. They 'discovered' blood tainted sock in OJ's home. Well, the FIRST video of the scene clearly showed no sock. The second LAPD video magically shows the sock. Second, that drop of blood they found on that sock? It contained EDTA, a chemical preservative not found in human blood. It is however, found in blood stored in test tubes - like the test tubes of blood in LAPD custody.
.
2) So, their credibility went down the tube. Just as OJ's blood expert Dr. Lee asked, ';If you're at a restaurant and you find a fly in your spaghetti, will you accept the restaurant owner's 'Trust me, there's only one fly in that entire batch of spaghetti' or will you want that whole batch thrown out?'; Will you believe LAPD's claim that the rest of their evidence is legit?
.
3) The bloody glove clearly did not fit. They were advised - even by the defense team - NOT to fit the glove; at least not in public. After the case, OJ lawyer Johnny Cochran said on national TV that he quietly advised his counterpart, prosecutor Christopher Darden not to fit the glove. The prosecutors got 'cocky' according to defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz and proceeded.
4) LAPD's star detective Mark Fuhrman was proven to have lied about his past racist remarks. He testified, under oath, that he's never uttered any racial slurs. The defense produced a tape. Fuhrman lied.
.
So, as former Los Angeles District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi opined, it's not that a majority African American jury just said, ';Let's give a brother a pass on two murders.'; ';Black juries convict black defendants in L.A. all the time.'; Bugliosi should know. He put away the white Manson Family in front of a white jury.
The case was weakened.
An overeager police department was scientifically proven to have had its fingers in the cookie jar.
A sock magically appeared.
The blood evidence was tainted.
A key detective on the case lied under oath.
Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt? You be the Judge or, for that matter, the jury.
.
.
So, no, there were no significant effects on future criminal cases.
Keep in mind that in the subsequent Wrongful Death civil case, where the threshold is simply preponderance of evidence, OJ lost.
.
Good Luck.
.Did the O.J. Simpson Murder Trials of 1995 have any effect on future law cases throughout the U.S.?
O.J. had a very smart lawyer who wisely (for O.J.) chose a very ';dumb'; jury. Jury selection has since become big business.
';Jury Nullification'; happen when a jury fails to convict a defendant even if the evidence is very clear that he is guilty as in the O.J. case.
The O.J. trial also put domestic violence in a new light.
Yes and in at least two ways that I can think of off the top of my head. (1) It popularized the use of DNA evidence that some petitioned to use to exonerte or confirm guilt after sentencing; and (2) it helped judges get control of their courtrooms in so far as the media is concerned.
Many more people now have jury profilers who try and look for traits in a juror that will make the trial go the way they want.

According to the law, conflict of interest disqualifies lawyers from handling cases. that doubles for juddges?
the republican judges on the supreme court have sworn not to rule in cases involving conflict of interest. that negates the bush v. gore decision in 2000, and disqualifies bush, cheney, diebold, alito, roberts, kennedy, thomas, and scalia, doesnt it? when they took their oaths, one of their solemn promises was not to make rulings in cases that had any personal affects on them. two repulican judges had family members employed by bush. for those simple minded uneducated people who say get over it, it was 8 years ago, etc. slavery was a hundred and forty years ago. have we gotten over it? you go take a look are things equal?According to the law, conflict of interest disqualifies lawyers from handling cases. that doubles for juddges?
Supreme court judges are appointed for life so they owe nothing to any parties. Secondly I bet everyone has a cousin or two who works some politician or another so what? Face facts Gore lost, falling chads butterfly ballots whatever, Those things happen in all elections and are unavoidable. Do you really think the 90 year old lady running a polling station is involved in a giant conspiracy? Gore brought great shame to himself and the country any true leader would have realized that the integrity of the process is more important than any one election and would have gracefully conceded. If democrats really thought it was such a big deal I don't see them passing to many election reform while they are in control of congress. Reasonable people can debate the need for the electoral college but the Florida results were turned into hyperbole by those exploiting the undereducated. The Kennedy- Johnson camps committed the most notorious voter fraud in history and even Nixon was man enough to do the right thing.According to the law, conflict of interest disqualifies lawyers from handling cases. that doubles for juddges?
I didnt like either one of them. I like Gore better now that bush has been in power. But I see where you are going. You do bring up some valid points. And it will be a black eye on the Supreme Court for decades to come.
When history looks at the scandals of the Bush administration, they will bring in that decision of the supreme court. I dont think history will ever forget what happend. I dont see any issue at all for you bringing it up. I agree with everypoint you made.
Here are a few takes of what happend the hours after this happend. Nothing wrong with reading them 6 1/2 years later so we can reflect on what went wrong.

You were right on the law. There is federal law on ';recusal'; for all U.S. Judges, including the Supreme Court Justices:
28 USC 455 reads, in part:
(a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.
(b) He shall also disqualify himself in the following circumstances:
(1) Where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding;
(4) He knows that he, individually or as a fiduciary, or his spouse or minor child residing in his household, has a financial interest in the subject matter in controversy or in a party to the proceeding, or any other interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding;
(5) He or his spouse, or a person within the third degree of relationship to either of them, or the spouse of such a person:
(i) Is a party to the proceeding, or an officer, director, or trustee of a party;
(ii) Is acting as a lawyer in the proceeding;
(iii) Is known by the judge to have an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding;
(iv) Is to the judge's knowledge likely to be a material witness in the proceeding.
As the U.S. Supreme Court, itself noted, in Liteky v. United States, 510 U.S. 540, 548 (1994), ';what matters 'is not the reality of bias or prejudice, but its appearance.' Quite simply and quite universally, recusal was required whenever ';impartiality might reasonably be questioned.';

I could go on. But I dont need to the story will go on for Decades to come. Thanks for the reminder, how even the Supreme Court can create our history in advance.
Thanks for making me think.
I'm not sure I understand question, can you restate?
Wrong.
Conflicts of interest do not disqualify attorneys.
And unless the ';republican judges have family members employed by Bush'; means that they work for his household and are, in fact, employed directly by Bush, then your supposed conflict of interest isn't.
Perhaps to take a course on constitutional law and actually read a book...

With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, I realize most of what I blew in law school was to fail to memorize case names. I would explain the principles involved and get them right, but be graded points off if I did not remember the case name.
Try putting the case names on 3 x 5 cards, with a short summary of the principle illustrated on the other side, and just flash card yourself. Both sides: have someone show you the name and you give them the principle, then have them show you the principles, and you give them the name of the pivotal case. Memorization is unfortunately necessary in law school.Any advice on how to remember cases in Contract law easily?
Have you tried writing a case brief for each one? Sometimes if you read a case and then right the important facts down right after reading it it will become easier for you to remember everything. Plus, writing briefs will keep you organized and allow you to quickly access your information. Are you a law student? If you are, you should be pretty familiar with writing briefs. If not, a general brief looks like this.

Briefs are usually 1-2 pages. Good luck!
I used to try to cram case names by: (1) shortening the name to just one or two words, (2) trying to come up with a word that starts with the same initial as the case-name that is also tied to the facts or the holding -- enough to help me remember ';what happened';, then (3) line up the initials in the order that the cases occurred chronologically, and (4) come up with some phrase that would help me remember that sequence of initials. If you cram that before the exam, you'll have the whole progress of cases, their names, holdings, and relation to one another. If it helps, you might break down each group of cases by general subject matter first (i.e., those related to contract formation, then those related to excuses for non-performance, and so on). That gives you a few, shorter phrases to remember as keys to the case-lists.
If you think that's fun, you are going to freakin' love the bar exam!

Try putting the case names on 3 x 5 cards, with a short summary of the principle illustrated on the other side, and just flash card yourself. Both sides: have someone show you the name and you give them the principle, then have them show you the principles, and you give them the name of the pivotal case. Memorization is unfortunately necessary in law school.Any advice on how to remember cases in Contract law easily?
Have you tried writing a case brief for each one? Sometimes if you read a case and then right the important facts down right after reading it it will become easier for you to remember everything. Plus, writing briefs will keep you organized and allow you to quickly access your information. Are you a law student? If you are, you should be pretty familiar with writing briefs. If not, a general brief looks like this.

Briefs are usually 1-2 pages. Good luck!
I used to try to cram case names by: (1) shortening the name to just one or two words, (2) trying to come up with a word that starts with the same initial as the case-name that is also tied to the facts or the holding -- enough to help me remember ';what happened';, then (3) line up the initials in the order that the cases occurred chronologically, and (4) come up with some phrase that would help me remember that sequence of initials. If you cram that before the exam, you'll have the whole progress of cases, their names, holdings, and relation to one another. If it helps, you might break down each group of cases by general subject matter first (i.e., those related to contract formation, then those related to excuses for non-performance, and so on). That gives you a few, shorter phrases to remember as keys to the case-lists.
If you think that's fun, you are going to freakin' love the bar exam!

Need info about a law firm that handles nationwide cases.?
Specifically, Ennis and Ennis with offices in D.C., Miami and Ft Lauderdale. Have they represented you and are they on the up and up???
May retain them but want to be sure.Need info about a law firm that handles nationwide cases.?
One Ennis is pretty good. The other one is a total snake and fool.Need info about a law firm that handles nationwide cases.?
Handing cases nationwide can be misleading - those television ads usually flash a little bit of small print at the end specifying that the advertised firm refers cases out. The advertised firm makes a fortune by referring cases to other firms.
Every single legal case is different - you really can't compare one to the other. There are so many different factors to take into consideration! A good attorney will take the time to explain the pertinent law to you. That said, I've seen too many non-lawyers seriously screw up their own cases by taking advice from other non-lawyers, message boards, etc. Your lawyer really does have your best interests in mind - that's the law, after all!
Visit a few different firms before deciding. If you are unhappy with your choice, you absolutely have the right to find another attorney.

Specifically, I'm trying to find cases where the plaintiff was unemployed prior to the accident (and did incur permanent, disabling injuries) and if damages were awarded, anyway, for future loss of employment or a decrease in the types of occupations he/she could apply for because of injuries incurred during the accident.

Hey guys,
do any of you know of any law cases that involve students being expelled without having gone threw due process of having a hearing ith the school board beforehand?Law cases involving due process of students (highschool or college)?
Not law; school board policy.
Some situations require immediate suspension and hearing afterwards.

What is an example of a law case where someone who was likely guilty got off easy, or off as not guilty?
I'm writing an English paper about justice. My thesis is that justice is seen as an American ideal, but sometimes wealth and/or fame come in the way of it being executed thoroughly. I am using O.J. Simpson and Chris Brown as examples, but can anybody think of some less known cases that demonstrate this claim? A source would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!What is an example of a law case where someone who was likely guilty got off easy, or off as not guilty?
Instead of the usual wealth and fame, how about the other exception people pretend doesn't exist: cops always getting off?
Before the OJ Simpson case, you may remember the Rodney King beating. Four cops beating the living hell out of an unarmed man lying on his face, and not one convicted of a crime.
Within the last few years, New York police have gunned down unarmed people in several notable cases. Many of them were shot over 20 times. Amadou Diallo was shot a total of 41 times by cops who couldn't explain why they did it. And not one of them was convicted of anything.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2736鈥?/a>
A good theme would be: why does society consider police to be so unusually upstanding that they can be trusted to carry and use deadly force, but at the same time holds them to a lower-than-normal standard of conduct with that deadly force? No civilian could ever shoot anyone, let alone 41 times, without having to prove to a DA and grand jury that:
1) they or someone present was in immediate danger of death;
2) they did everything in their power to escape
3) any reasonable person would have acted the same.
Cops aren't burdened by this burden of proof for self-defense. A cop just has to say ';furtive gesture'; and all is forgiven. Try killing someone for a furtive gesture as a civilian and see what happens. That's upstanding for you.What is an example of a law case where someone who was likely guilty got off easy, or off as not guilty?

Will a tentative decision be made in a family law case if there is no response filed?
I have an upcoming order to show cause hearing in California and the other party has not filed a responsive declaration. Will a tentative decision be made without an opposing argument?Will a tentative decision be made in a family law case if there is no response filed?
The court's time is precious and they require people to meet their deadlines or suffer. If the other party has not filed a responsive declaration, they can sometimes convince a judge that there is a valid reason and get the time extended, but if they just don't respond, the court is going to come up with an answer without their input.bella cosmetics

Go down there and ask the Clerk for the Civil Division to review the file. Then you can copy almost anything in the file as long as you ask nicely and pay the copying fee.

How do I reschedule a family law case without an attorney?
I no longer have representation due to fees. My case is set for November 4th (1 week).How do I reschedule a family law case without an attorney?
Since many people handle their own family law cases most family courts have a self-help desk. Look at their website, or visit the court.How do I reschedule a family law case without an attorney?
Look up the rules of court in your state and follow those rules. There is probably a law library at the courthouse where the case will be heard. There may be a law library online (as there is in the state where I live).
As you probably already realize, going into something as complicated as a family law case without an attorney has considerable problems.
You can pay an attorney by the hour without having that person represent you and bill you for court appearance and the hours of preparation for the court appearance. Call an attorney and ask for a consultation. That $150 or so might partially make up for the disadvantage you will have of going into court without an attorney.
Are you absolutely certain that the other party does not have an attorney? If not, you might borrow money or sell something to pay for your attorney to take up your case in court. Facing a a represented party in a complex matter could be insurmountable.

No--As long as your record is clean. You had the person charged with the offenses. You were not charged. The police don`t check that part of a record. If they do, it won`t make any difference in you job application and qualifications.

What happens when ex appeals judges decision in family law case?
Me and my ex got divorced in February. He already tried to modify the final decree...child support, visitation, and transportation. The judge heard his plead and denied anything be changed because he had not had a substantial change since the decree was signed. He is now appealing that judges deicison, and I was going to see if anyone knew how the appeal process worked..or whats going to happen now. Thanks!What happens when ex appeals judges decision in family law case?
It depends on your state, but generally, he will file an appeal with the Court of Appeals. Depending on what and how he is appealing, the Court of Appeals will probably review what the judge did for ';abuse of discretion.'; Essentially, they are trying to determine if there was no reasonable basis for the judge to make the decision he made . . . this is generally pretty tough to do. There is another standard of review: de novo - which means the Court of Appeals looks at absolutely everything that was before the original judge.
You should not expect a quick decision. This is a VERY slow process. He will file his motion through his attorney. You will file your reply through your lawyer. Then he can file another written response. The Court can decide the case based on the paper work OR can schedule your case for oral arguments. The Court will issue a written decision - and THIS also takes a bit of time.
The last case I had that went through the appeals process involved a case that was decided by the lower court's judge in January 2008. The other side appealed. I filed my reply brief in August 2008. They filed their final response in September. The decision was made in November 2008. (Then it got appealed to the state Supreme Court - so that literally took us through to June 2009 until the state S.C. denied the appeal.)What happens when ex appeals judges decision in family law case?
Artemis Gwen is correct.
In general, the appellate court reviews the case to determine whether the trial court judge applied the law correctly. Appellate courts do not reverse trial court decisions unless there is an error in the lower court.
It is likely that the appellate court will take several months to render their decision.
If your ex had no substantial change in his circumstances between the divorce decree and the motion to modify the decree, my guess is that he is representing himself (';pro se';, Latin for ';Oops! Forgot something very important, like understanding the law.';) or has an attorney who did not graduate in the top of his class.
i cant relly say but unless he can show he has made a major change or has a vilid reason like lost his job or is sick or somethng big i relly dont think you have much to worry about but dont take my word for it that would be putting all of you eggs in one basket
If he actually files an appeal, you will have to respond to his appeal brief. Be prepared to spend large amounts of money.

What does a Forensic Psychologist do in a CA Family Law case?
I'm asking the CA court for permission to move out of state for financial reasons. I have joint custody: our daughter lives with me and sees dad every other weekend.
My ex's attorney has filed a request for a court appointed Forensic Psychologist. What will this mean? What will the forensic psychologist do?
And what does it mean to open up a ';Discovery'; in Family Law?
Thanks for any info!What does a Forensic Psychologist do in a CA Family Law case?
The psychologist will interview your daughter; most likely, you and your ex, and, possibly, the other members of your households. (Expect an hour appointment in his or her office.) Then s/he will write a report with their recommendation to the court.
Discovery is the court term for investigation.

What is the conflict between Legislation and Common Law/Case Law?
I need to identify and describe the main conflict between Legislation (Parliament law) and Common Law/Case Law (judge made law) extending to England and Wales only. Please help. Thank you.What is the conflict between Legislation and Common Law/Case Law?
I disagree
The main conflict is that legislation has priority over common law by way of Parliamentary Soverignty.
Legislation can overwrite common law but common law CANNOT overwrite legislation.
Judges do have a role of statutory interpretation; deciding what Parliament meant when they passed statutes but they can only go so far; they may not change or stretch the words of the statute.What is the conflict between Legislation and Common Law/Case Law?
A very fine question. I'm not a qualified solicitor or barrister, but I am half way through a course in Law. (OU)
Essentially, one has to identify the aspect of law we are dealing with. Are you talking about Civil or Criminal?
In Criminal Law, there is no difference or conflict, per se. However, we still do have a reasonably independent judiciary in England, and conflicts can arise. Parliament passes legislation, but some of the laws that they pass are absurd (for example, under the Sexual Offences Act of 2003, it is a criminal offence for two 13 year olds to kiss) The Judiciary are able, thank goodness, to turn the law around by saying that, although this is the letter of the Law, was the kiss actually an assault, or simply behaviour that is natural among adolescents. Statute Law says that this is an offence, Case Law says - Oi, what is the background to the offence.
I do know of people who have been convicted by passing a red traffic light to make way for an ambulance/fire engine - I do hope that someone who has enough money and nous will be done for this, so that he/she can take the case through the appeal process to the House of Lords and get a decent decision.bella cosmetics

It shouldnt have anything to do with your ability to practice law enforcement. Isnt it very american that the employer cant base his recruiting from anything other than your ability to do the job? why would it matter?
Using the law to ensure that your rights are respected isn't grounds for discrimination. The only possible exception I could see to that was if the accused was in law enforcement.
... being a complainant?
It won't affect you unless you filed a complaint against the person doing the hiring... that would be bad.
It shouldn't mean anything in terms of your future. Just be careful with the procedures and you should be fine.

How long did your Lemon Law case take to resolve?
From begining to end. And what was the settlement?How long did your Lemon Law case take to resolve?
Although I have never had a lemon car, my brother-in-law is an excellent lemon law attorney here in California.
Whenever he takes a new client, he drafts a demand letter to the manufacturer informing them that his client has hired him and he is demanding that they buy back the car. They are given 30 days or he files a lawsuit in court.
The majority of his cases settle within four to six months - some sooner and some later. He has gained a reputation and a no-nonsense, no games lawyer who always represents his clients best interests - even if it means settling for less than the client could have received if it had gone to trial.
He once sued a manufacturer in a case that they could have avoided with a $200 repair. Instead, it cost that manufacturer $75,000 because the jury said that they had to buy the car back for full price plus pay the client 2 times civil penalties - twice the value of the car.
He has sued one manufacturer enough where their lawyers know him and they routinely pay one and a half times civil penalty (one and a half times the value of the car).
If you live in California, you should know that a lemon law client generally does not pay attorney fees unless the client lied to the attorney causing the attorney to lose in court. In California, the manufacturer pays all attorney fees if they lose the case. If the manufacturer wins the case, the lemon law attorney gets nothing.
When it comes to the civil penalties, the attorney is generally entitled to 30% - 40% of the civil penalties. In other words, if you had a $30,000 Mercedes Benz and it qualified as a lemon. The attorney would only collect legal fees from the manufacturer if it settled quickly. In some cases, the client may be entitled to civil penalties as well. The maximum civil penalty allowable in California is two times the value of the car. If the attorney successfully sued Mercedes Benz (Daimler-Chrysler) for the $30,000 car + double civil penalties, it would cost Daimler-Chrysler $90,000. Of that, the attorney would be entitled to 30% - 40% of $60,000 in civil penalties plus the legal fees which would be covered by Daimler-Chrysler as well.
If you ever have a lemon car or know a friend or family member with a lemon car, it is always a good idea to contact a lemon-law attorney who knows how to get the most for you.How long did your Lemon Law case take to resolve?

It depends on what case management system (CMS) is used in the clerk's office in your county. Some systems allow case lookup by attorney name. Example: http://judicialrecords.wilco.org
Contact your court clerk to ask how to access this information.Is there a way for me to find out what cases my family law attorney has worked on?
Ask him, or go down to the courthouse where he practices and look cases that he has been involved in. Those are public records.

Contact your court clerk to ask how to access this information.Is there a way for me to find out what cases my family law attorney has worked on?
Ask him, or go down to the courthouse where he practices and look cases that he has been involved in. Those are public records.

Illinois has some very protective laws regarding wages, so if it's a case that involves nonpayment of wages, I would look into hiring a lawyer ASAP!
Otherwise, if you're in Chicago, the Daley Center downtown has a free library on the 29th floor which is open to the public. The librarians are very helpful and can point you in the right direction. If you're not in Chicago, call the clerk of the court or a local bar association and ask if there is a legal library open to the public. Those will be the best places to search.Where is a good place to learn about Illinios law termilogy and to look up past cases that pertain to mine.?

In what cases would the concentration of the catalyst be part of the rate law?
This is a post-laboratory question in my Inorganic Chemistry Class, and the only case that I was able to research from the internet, where the concentration of the catalyst could be part of the rate law, is when the product of the reaction itself acts as a catalyst (auto-catalysis).
Are there any other cases? Any help would be very much appreciated :). Thank you very much. :DIn what cases would the concentration of the catalyst be part of the rate law?
_____A catalyst is a substance that allows reactants to go to products more easily. Thus, they are involved in the rate-determining step, which may or may not resemble the uncatalyzed transition state.

Is a counsellor required by law to take action in sexual abuse cases?
if someone who is 19 is seeking counseling regarding marginal sexual abuse that happened during early childhood are they required to pursue details and take action against the abuser?Is a counsellor required by law to take action in sexual abuse cases?
If it is you and you may harm someone Yes. If there are other minor children in the home that may be at risk for harm yes. Otherwise if you are the one that was abused then you should bring charges against them because they will seek another child and they to will be in a counselors office or worse dead, in jail, prison, mental institution, hospital. IT DID NOT START WITH YOU AND, IT WILL NOT STOP WITH YOU. If you have a good counselor and you go through the proper counseling at sometime you will have to ask why to the person that harmed you, what gave them a right to marginal sexually abuse you ? Why not have them charged with the crime and punished before someone else gets hurt? Then you Will be able to ask why? You will be in a court room and they can not touch you againIs a counsellor required by law to take action in sexual abuse cases?
when talking to counselor everything discussed is confidential at the age of 19 you are an adult so only you can make the decision weather or not you wish to use the law as an aid to help you from experience average counseling is a waist of time but everyone is different and for some it may help. i feel the best way forward is to find one that has had some real experience and been through smiler things anyone can read a book and think they can relate to how Somone feels if your ready to talk about it you are half way there! happy to give advice
If the abuse occurred when the person was a minor (i.e., below the age of 18) then it would depend upon the statute of limitations in the specific State. Best to ask one of those Lawyer type people.
I do believe so..if it interfers with the law..or the persons saftey they are required to take action....personal experience
Hmm...I don't *think* they're required to take action unless there's a present danger of abuse recurring. I'm not 100% positive, though.
not if they are 19. Only if they are a threat to themselves or others do they have to take action.
Not in this country.

I have just started studying law and need a brief, clear way of looking up law cases, precedents etc. in both paper and computer forms. The manual produced by the college was not too helpful! Would be happy if I just was told what steps to take in the paper form first as I don't always have access to a p.c. I know the college libraray has a wealth of manuals that are updated regularly but I am not sure how to use them correctly.Can anybody give me common sense, concise information on how to look up UK law cases in both and i.t. format?
Hi Gareth.
First of all don't panic it is not as complicated as it looks.
You initially need to identify the area of law you are looking at.
Crim law, property law, Tort etc.
Each case will have the parties concerned e.g smith v smith.
As part of this the citation will immediately follow. So this then becomes smith v smith [1999] 1 All ER 225.
The citation above means [The year] Volume 1. All England Law Reports. Paragraph 225.
Some citations do not have a volume number. It may read
[1999] Crim.L.R 512
In this case it means [Year 1999] Criminal Law Reports at Paragraph 512.
There are a number of letters that you will see in the citation.
these are the reporting bodies, i.e who reported it. Here are a few for you.
WLR = Weekly Law Reports
QB = Queens Bench
KB = Kings Bench
AC = Appeal Court
All ER = All England Law Reports
T.L.R = Times Law Reports
H.L = House of Lords
There are many more but don't be put off.
If there is a precident then the citation will look like this
Smith v Smith [1999] 1 W.L.R. 275 at 277
The number 277 is the paragraph where the words of the judge are that refer to the precident.
For European law cases the citations are written differently.
Pecastaing v Belgium (Case 98/79) [1980] ECR 691.
Note the case number. it means case 98 in 1979. This is when the case went before the court. [1980] is when the final decision was made by the court.
Almost all Law text books will have a list of cases in the front, just after the contents page. The cases will all look like the examples above and the pages where the case has been referred to.
You will also see in the text a case name with a little number next to it. This tells you the footnote reference. If it is for cases you will see e.g smith v smith [1979] with the little number, then the citation either at the bottom of the page as a foot note, or at the end of the paragraph or section.
Hope this is not too confusing for you and clears things up a bit.
Good luck with your course.

Are there law firms in the US which represent foreign clients in US courts for civil cases?
This is in response to a discussion item for a Cyberlaw class I am taking. The question is ';Bob, a U.S. website owner, sells products world-wide. Customer in China buys one from Bob, and is injured by it in China, and wishes to sue Bob. Should Customer have to come to the U.S. to sue Bob, or should Bob have to go to China to defend himself? Why?';
Is there a lawfirm in the US that represents foreign nationals in the US without the nationals having to come to the US?Are there law firms in the US which represent foreign clients in US courts for civil cases?
Actually I disagree. The person in China may have the option to use either forum and sue in China. Most countries including the US have long arm statues which can compel people to appear in court in a different city, state, or county. What this would likely come down to would be if Bob is targeting Chinese's buyers, for example having a site in their language or advertising on popular Chinese sites, advertising shipping to that country, or simply doing a lot of business there. If the opposite were to happen, if it was a company in China selling products on the internet to American buyers then the American buyer would have the standing to sue in his local court and compel the company to appear. Hope that helps.
This concept in US Law is called Minimum Contact. This is the civil procedure to determine the appropriate court to assert jurisdiction. I'm sure that China's laws give its citizen similar protections.Are there law firms in the US which represent foreign clients in US courts for civil cases?
Pretty much any law firm will do that.
And yeah, the Chinese customer would have to sue in Bob's jurisdiction, because the law makes it pretty clear that the point of sale is where Bob is.
The reason for that is that if the customer sued in China, and won, they'd have no way to collect, because a Chinese court can't compel Bob to do anything when he isn't in China. Only an American court can compel him to pay a judgment and punish him if he refuses.
The suit would be have to be in the US (point of sale) and service of process obtained through the Hague Convention (although, I'm not too sure if China is a signatory of the Hague).
Many firms represent foreign corporations as well as foreign countries.
The law firm of Jim Baker, the Secretary of State under President GHW Bush, was the defense counsel for the Saudi Prince in a civil law suit brought by the families of 9-11 victims.
1.Yes, all law firms represent foreign clients
2.The customer in China will have to come to America to sue, so Bob can be punished.

In cases of credit card fraud, is there a dollar amount before the bank calls in law enforcement?
A relative may of committed credit card fraud and I was wondering if the bank would ask that the debt be paid, or drop the issue at a certain dollar amount, or have law enforcement intervene. If law enforcement was to get involved, what would they typically do?In cases of credit card fraud, is there a dollar amount before the bank calls in law enforcement?
If the ';mistake'; is paid in full promptly, the bank will probably let it go. Not paying promptly is generally considered confirmation of fraud. Banks are becoming far more aggressive in collecting these days -- they have to.
Each bank determines their own criteria for pursuing fraud charges. And they are disinclined to discuss or publicize those criteria for obvious reasons. But banks (and other lenders) are definitely pursuing criminal charges on much smaller amounts than they did a year or two ago. And they are pushing prosecutors/district attorneys much harder to go after these.

Do you know a whole about law vocabulary/supreme cases?
I am loking for someone who can help me understand law vocab.and what happened in the Goldber VS. Kelly ET AL.supreme court case.
Argued October 13, 1969
Decided March 23, 1970
I am a student studying law and my assignment is to tell what happened in this case and why. please help.Do you know a whole about law vocabulary/supreme cases?
It was basically about due process.
Someone was receiving welfare, but then the state decided that he was no longer eligible and told him that the payments would stop. He said, wait a minute, if you let me explain the circumstances, you'd see that I'm still eligible (it is called a ';hearing'; when someone is allowed to come in and tell their side of the story). The state said, fine, you can come tell us about the situation (we'll give you a ';hearing';), but first we are going to terminate the payments. If, after hearing your side of the story, we think you are still eligible, then we will start making the payments again. SO THE STATE OFFERED HIM A POST-TERMINATION HEARING.
The guy thought that he should get a PRE-TERMINATION hearing, and that the welfare payments shouldn't be stopped BEFORE he was able to explain his side of the story. So he sued the state.
The state argued that it would be too expensive and time consuming to give all welfare recipients a pre-termination hearing.
The case went all the way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court decided that it was unfair to terminate the payments without first hearing the guy's explanation of why he was still eligible. The court said WELFARE RECIPIENTS MUST BE ALLOWED A PRE-TERMINATION ';HEARING'; BEFORE THEIR PAYMENTS ARE CUT OFF.
Why? In the words of the court: ';The interest of the eligible recipient in the uninterrupted receipt of public assistance, which provides him with essential food, clothing, housing, and medical care, coupled with the State's interest that his payments not be erroneously terminated, clearly outweighs the State's competing concern to prevent any increase in its fiscal and administrative burdens.';

Argued October 13, 1969
Decided March 23, 1970
I am a student studying law and my assignment is to tell what happened in this case and why. please help.Do you know a whole about law vocabulary/supreme cases?
It was basically about due process.
Someone was receiving welfare, but then the state decided that he was no longer eligible and told him that the payments would stop. He said, wait a minute, if you let me explain the circumstances, you'd see that I'm still eligible (it is called a ';hearing'; when someone is allowed to come in and tell their side of the story). The state said, fine, you can come tell us about the situation (we'll give you a ';hearing';), but first we are going to terminate the payments. If, after hearing your side of the story, we think you are still eligible, then we will start making the payments again. SO THE STATE OFFERED HIM A POST-TERMINATION HEARING.
The guy thought that he should get a PRE-TERMINATION hearing, and that the welfare payments shouldn't be stopped BEFORE he was able to explain his side of the story. So he sued the state.

Should juries be able to disregard the Law and free ';Guilty'; persons in racially charged cases?
Wanted to hear about your opinion on this topic.Should juries be able to disregard the Law and free ';Guilty'; persons in racially charged cases?
Wow ... no ... where does that stop at?Should juries be able to disregard the Law and free ';Guilty'; persons in racially charged cases?
It is the jury generally who would decide if the person was legally guilty. Therefore the person is not guilty unless the juryb says so and if they turn them loose they are therefore not turning loose a guilty person. This of course does not touch with a 10 foot pole the ? of whether or not they should have found them guilty beond a reasonable doubt. Juries are not always fair just as many other things are not fair and sometimes there are ';legal technicalities'; that cause someone to get to walk when it cerainly seems they shouldn't and visa versa.
No. The constitution says that everyone is equal under the
law. Everyone should be treated equally, regardless of race,
creed, color, sex or anything else. Whatever the case, only the innocent should go free and the guilty should receive just punishment. Disregard of the law sends a pretty stupid
and dangerous message.
O.J. Simpson criminal case stands as the new level to which a jury will go in exercising its right to ';nullify'; the evidence. I f you take the legal system serious after the verdict in the Simpson case you deserve to live in America. Jury nullification is used all the time by minority defendants who have a ';good jury.';
Most people would say no. That is because they have never been a victim of things like that. But Black and Brown Know these situations to well. What we need to do is open a Forum of discussion on case law vs Constitutional law and evolved from there. Great Point and Question.
Isn't that called anarchy or communism? The point of having laws in place is for them to be followed. If you disagree with the law, change the law, don't just pretend it doesn't exist.

What does derived mean when dealing with law or legal cases?
I wish you'd given a context. It can mean subordinate, i.e. emanating from a larger, more significant source, in other words, trickling down. Droit d茅riv茅 in French translates as ';subordinate legislation';.
What are examples of cases that might arise under civil and criminal law?
What are examples of cases that might arise under civil and criminal law? Ex) OJ simpson case.What are examples of cases that might arise under civil and criminal law?
A good and more recent example is the Brandy case....she could end up facing misdemeanor criminal charges along with the civil suit she is facing
Many cases which are criminal can also arise under civil law if they are crimes against another person (i.e. hit and run accidents, murder, stuff like that)What are examples of cases that might arise under civil and criminal law?
O.J. Simpson - Criminal Law
There are two broad categories of law with which you might be familiar.
Criminal law addresses the need to investigate crimes, prosecute defendants, and hold offenders accountable, usually through penitentiary, jail or probationary sentences. Common criminal law issues would be driving under the influence of intoxicants, a gun-point robbery of a convenience store, homicide, and rape. The District Attorney prosecutes criminal cases in court, and must prove the guilt of accused defendants beyond a reasonable doubt.
Civil law addresses situations in which people have been harmed, and an economic award might help remedy the situation. Examples of civil law cases include divorce, disputes involving property ownership, and contractual disputes. Private attorneys generally handle both sides of a dispute involving civil law, and the issues in civil court most often need to be proven only by a preponderance of the evidence.
If you have a civil claim – for slipping on an icy sidewalk and becoming injured, for instance – you should discuss the matter with a private lawyer. You can find one listed in the yellow pages under “attorneys.”
If you are a victim of a crime – a crook stole your car out of your driveway and wrecked it during a joyride – you should report the crime to law enforcement and the District Attorney’s office will prosecute your case, if possible. You probably also have a civil claim against the car thief, and you should also consider discussing the matter with a private lawyer.bella cosmetics

Is there a national law regarding how much attorneys can receive on their cases?
Just wanted to know.
Is there a national law regarding how much attorneys can receive on their cases?
You can find that answer from your state bar's web page. For instance just type www.(your state)statebar.org in your city and you can get the information from there. But as far as I know, and each state has its own rules and regulations, the answer would closely fit 33 1/3 % of the settlement.
Hope that was of some help. Please do utilize your state bars web site. There is a lot of important and useful information for legal inquiries. If you are seeking legal help, and you don't know which lawyer would best suit your specific need (s), your state bar post all lawyers available within your state, as well as any lawyer who has violated an ethics rule, has had their license suspended or revoked and why. This way you don't end up getting a lemon lawyer for your legal needs.
Have a blessed day!Is there a national law regarding how much attorneys can receive on their cases?
No, at most there is a prescribed fee for notarial fees and court awarded attorney's fees. Otherwise, an attorney can charge his clients as much as he believes that he's worth, i.e. the better the reputation of the lawyer - the more expensive he is.
Not usually, no. There's no laws against anyone in any profession making as much money as people are willing to pay for their services.

Law cases having to do with partnerships and companies?
it will depend on the jurisdiction where the partnership or companies are organized. i suggest you get cases in the appropriate jurisdicition from the appropriate commercial courts or a law book on partnerships and corporations in your jurisdiction.
I need interesting law cases to write paper on!?
So far, I've looked at Brown vs. Board of Ed., Schenck V US, Lochner V NY, Gideon v WainwrightI need interesting law cases to write paper on!?
Try the Palsgraf case. Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Co., 162 N.E. 99 (N.Y. 1928). Dude with newspaper-wrapped parcel was running to catch the train and a railroad employee lent him a hand. In so doing the employee accidentally knocked the parcel to the ground. KABOOM!! Turned out there were fireworks in the parcel. The whole station started shaking for a few seconds. No harm no foul right? Wrong! The shaking caused by the explosion caused heavy metal scales, at the opposite end of the station, to topple. Right onto a little old lady called Mrs. Palsgraf. Well the old bird decided to sue. Couldn't find the passenger, who was long gone, and probably didn't have a dime. So she sued the railroad for negligence. Who won? Read the case.I need interesting law cases to write paper on!?
One that always bugged me was the guy who was trying to break into a place and he fell through a faulty skylight on the roof. The owner of the building lost in court when sued for damages to the guy who was trying to break in. he had to pay for medical and for damages - big money as guy became quadriplegic. I felt that he incurred injury in performance of a felony and should have been responsible for his own damages. The owner was found to be negligent as the skylight was faulty and he did not repair it. I felt had the burglar not been on the roof trying to get in he would not have been injured.
Yet this became law. The owner was responsible. it is a travesty as far as I'm concerned.

Are there law students that help with cases?
in cincinnati at the u.c law school, are there law students that help with business court cases? how do i find out how to contact any that do?Are there law students that help with cases?
I really don't know but why would they? Better yet, why would you want a student? Most law firms have people on staff you can use that are like interns who cannot charge much for their services since each case they work is a learning experience.Are there law students that help with cases?
They may be able to help you if you just want research done. But if you intend to rely on the knowledge of a college student for a serious legal matter you are taking your chances and they are risking their degree program. If you are trying to save money then there is another option. check the source and I hope this helps. Good luck.
No. Law students are not licensed to practice law. They may assist licensed attorneys in a legal clinic setting.
You're probably not going to find any free legal help in corporate law. Most clinics are designed to help low income individuals with domestic law, landlord-tenant law, and criminal defense. Legal issues are usually considered to be a cost of doing business if you are in business, but it doesn't hurt to ask if somewhere like Legal Aid would help you (or know any avenues for you to get help).
Also, depending on the type of case that you're dealing with, you might find a lawyer who would give you a free consultation and/or take your case on a contingency fee basis.
No, may be you can contact a legal expert at websites like http://definitivelab.com/bella cosmetics

Which law of motion is illustrated by each of the following cases?
a. a person jumps to a dock from a boat, the boat moves away from the dock
b. a galloping horse comes to a sudden stop. Its rider is thrown over the head of the horse and lands on the ground.
c. a pingpong ball accelerates faster than a golf ball when hit with the same force.Which law of motion is illustrated by each of the following cases?
a) Third law of motion
b) Law of inertia (1st law of motion)
c) 2nd law of motionWhich law of motion is illustrated by each of the following cases?
a.) The third law of motion. The force that pushed the boy forward to the dock led to an equal and opposite force pushing the boat away from the dock.
b.) The first law of motion. When the horse stopped, there was little force to prevent the rider from continuing to move at the horse's velocity until gravity stepped in and slowed him down, causing him to eventually fall. The First Law states an object at rest stays at rest and a moving object continues to move at the same velocity, unless (in both cases) an external force changes that.
c.) The second law of motion. The Second Law states that force is proportional to the rate of change of momentum, which translates to the fact that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when force is constant. The ping-pong ball has less mass than the golf ball, and so the ping-pong ball will accelerate faster with the same force as the golf ball.

Jewish law cases that changed America?
What is a law suit involving Jewish people that may have changed America in some way?
or
What is a Law case involving death that may have been controversial and changed America?Jewish law cases that changed America?
Probably one of the most profound was the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in the early 1900's. It was a sweatshop employing mostly Jewish young women, that locked all their doors shut to prevent the workers from taking breaks. When a fire broke out, the women had no way to escape and many died horribly. It was a real tragedy. The resultant prosecution and civil lawsuits led to the passage of many workplace-safety laws and other protections for workers that we take for granted in America today.Jewish law cases that changed America?
I'm frankly appalled at the ignorance in the first two answers. And to correct them: no Jews have ever 'lynched' anyone!Perhaps the answerer would care to provide a link...? No? Quelle surprise.
And to correct what the second answer said: Jews make up less than 2% of the American populace. It would be frankly physically *impossible* for there to be a Jew ' in every' legal case. The notion is absurd.
To the asker: is this an assignment? If not, what makes you think that there is ANY lawsuit involving Jews that have changed America? I'm just asking out of interest :)
Just about every single civil rights law suit involves Jews in some way or another. Either the law firm, the judge, or some expert witness.
