Law & Ethics - July 2006

I'm having a problem with my personnel file.
I'm being repremanded at work for days I've missed due to a disability. I asked for a copy of my personnel file, and while they have the letter of discipline in there, they do not have my signed slips for sick days or vacation days coinciding with the letter.
Also, last year because of the discovery of my disability, I was offered and took 6 weeks of short term disability. There is NO record of this whatsoever in the file. Is there any action I can take? I just want my boss off my back over missing days that they don't even have slips signed by me for.

Say you're innocent, but the legal system found you guilty of murder. You're sentenced to life in prison. You're there for a year or so, and it sucks. Suddenly, the opportunity to escape presents itself, but to utilize it you must kill some random prison guard you've never seen before. Let's say for the purposes of this question that you can be certain of your chances of escape and are confident that you won't be recaught. Do you kill the guard?

I have heard that anyone born in 1990 and on ward will have to wait until 18 to drive. Whats more I have heard both the smoking age, which is said to go up to 18, and drinking age, said to go up to 21, are to go up. I am pretty certain the driving age is going up along with the smoking one, but what about the drinking age?

You are a lawyer. One day an elderly lady comes to you with a problem. she is a widow, and her husband made her executor of his estate. He also gave her everything he owned. 50 years ago, the man bought land under an assumed name, a combination of his first name and his mother's maiden name. A warehouse was built on this land, and his business was based there. Being self employed, the man did everything himself. As a result, the widow knew nothing of what to do. A business competitor wants to buy the land, but refused to hand over the money once he found out the business of the assumed name. The business is in another part of the country, and there is no watchman, apart from the business partner mentioned above. on several visits, the widow noticed that things are slowly disappearing, but she has no proof of theft. The old lady has all but given up the estate as a loss...

If there was a bomb in some crowded build and we caught someone who knew where it was or someone kidnapped a child and wouldn't tell the police where the child was hidden so the police tortured them for the information would it be acceptible or should it be punishable?

Let's say that this person left no will, has no real estate, isn't married, has no kids and owes on the furniture that is in the apartment. The closest living relative wants to claim all that, including the car. Does that person then take over the payments? And if no one wants to claim anything, who pays off the remaining bills?

Lets say that your are paid 8 hours for Monday because it is a national holiday but then you put in 40 hours of actual work from Tuesday to Friday. Do you get 48 hours of straight pay or 40 hours of straight and 8 hours of overtime?
I ask because we pay overtime but when I sent the hours stated with holiday pay to our payroll company, the office manager said the hours has to be listed under overtime instead of holiday. I don't think she really knows. I figured if the law was the law the payroll company would make the paycheck correct in this regards. Who is right?

WE DIDN'T SIGN ANYTHING...NOR WAS THERE ANY MENTION ON HIS ADD OR DURING THE CONVERSATIN OF 30min

My mother is going through a divorce and she and I decided to go see this attorney who's add said "free consultation." We simply needed an attorney to negociate a buy-out price against my stepfather to obtain the house...nothing further. But this attorney wouldn't listen to us and instead would be chatting about his experience dealing with other cases not related to our desires. I'm farely familar with the law and I knew up front that he wasn't suited for our needs.

We left before an hour and then tried to make my mother sign a retainer agreement and I told him that my mother would need at least a day to think about it. Then he said "Well if you don't take your case with me I will charge you for this consulation since it's free only for 30 minutes." FIRST OF ALL, THERE WAS NO PLACE IN THE ADD THAT SPECIFIED A TIME FOR THAT FREE CONSULATATION. SECOND, HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD US ABOUT THE
