I am currently desperate for a job, but I am also desperate to move away from home. I am a graduate, applying to law school for next fall, so I prefer jobs with law firms with pay decent enough to afford an apartment and my student loan payments. I am unable to visit the law firms I am finding online, and I cant tell if they are real law firms, with real clients, or just fake websites and no clients. I want experience with a reputable law firm. How can I find an ABA law firm to work at? Is there a website that list all of the firms? Also, is Robert Half Legal a real company placing workers, or just internet fraud? I dont want to work for an 'ambulance chaser', or one of those fake comapnies on TV. I need a job soon, else my dad is going to make me take a job here, and I cant stand living at home anymore. Cannot network at home, nobody with law connections. No local law jobs, area too rural for a large law firm with jobs and connections to the area of law I want to practice (IP).

If a girl makes a false accusation of indecent assault and you are ostracised, what remedies are there?

Is this slander or actually a criminal offence?

more examples:

shoplifting
make 'bump keys'
make bombs
making your own fake id's
etc.

is it illegal to provide instruction, or could you be held liable? or would you just have to but up a warning to say you don't condone illegal behavior, but then post a 'how to anyway'?
would you have to be more specific and post a legal code saying im entitled to post? whats the story?

I have been conservative my whole life and I want to emphasise on the fact that I am asking if this is a generally believed stereotyping.

I would from personal experience agree with it as I have been extremly stubborn and set in my ways, until just recently. I had a near death experience and a great feeling of hopelessness forced me to let go of my ideals and look for new perspectives. In the course of changing my perspective and my life I have occurred a truly open mind.
I believe that many people on both side of the political spectrum could use a little oping up. Just seems like the right has a little tighter grasp on their close mindedness.

I know I am going to get attacked for this and people are going to bring up specific points, but I am talking about general, not specific.

Ok, I got punched in the face, total cheap shot. The guy was charged with battery and has court in September. I had to go to the hospital. Now, I went to the police station today and the report I received does not reflect everything I said...it seems as if the cop made stuff up...not sure why? I didn't say some stuff in there and some stuff is untrue. What do I do? Also...how much could I sue this guy for in civil court?

Cat Stevens proformed at the Al Gores "Save the World from itself" tour. Cat Stevens is a radical Islamic follower (practices Wahobism) and has called for the death of Rushdie, and the death of the Swedish cartoonist who partrayed Muhamed in a unflattering way.

How does supporting / promoting Islamic relgion and culture (probably the Most oppresive religion in the world, especially for women) mesh / blend with "liberals do what you want" and "You can't judge me" lifestyles?

They obviously aren't educating their own children on the subject. It's being left up to movies, tv, and music in most cases. My aunt told me she's not going to talk to her children about sex til they're 16, my cousin is 14 and has had more partners then i have at 21.... Great plan, leave it up to the parents that truly think that their angelic kids don't know anything besides the mechanics of sex.

According to infoplease.com abortions in general have decreased significantly BUT the ages at which the average girl getting an abortion is much lower... in one state it jumps from the average age of 28 in 1988 to age 14 in 1996. Other states jumped from 25 & 26 to 16. Some parents of must be of a new opinion "we don't have to tell our girl about protection, we'll just get her an abortion".

I went to what was called a "Defend Marriage" rally where over 20,000 people went to protest the legalization of same sex marriage. At that rally there was maybe, maybe 100 people there in support of same sex marriage. No national media showed and only one local tv crew showed. That local tv crew (I watched them do this) gathered the 100 or so into a tight group and moved thier cameras in really close. That night I watched the news and they reported on a huge rally to SUPPORT same sex marriage and the footage looked like there was this huge crowd of supporters there.

No other media reported on it.

I am a conservative and I know there is biased in media on both sides of ever issue but why do liberals deny it? It is so blatently obvious.

Hi,
I live in Long Island, NY and want to change my name on my indian passport. I am on an H1 that expires sept 2008 (3 extensions left).
I understand that I need to advertize my change of name in 2 newspapers. I have done that in two indian newspapers, but need to do it in a local one.
How does one go about announcing a name change in a local LI newspaper?
My affidavit that was prepared in the bangalore high court does not have the standard text, but rather reads as, "I xyz, hereby change my name to abc, as of 1/1/2006 for purposes of blah blah." thats. it. Will this cause a problem?
Also, if anyone knows how to correctly fill out the application for passport for name change, do let me know. Things like which name goes where etc etc.
Thanks!!!
