My friend recently passed the California Bar Exam and his parents are throwing a party to celebrate. I thought this, or something like it, would be a good gift idea. He majored in Political Science and Economics as an undergraduate.

i've been prompted to get some experience to 'demonstrate' my commitment as part of a application. Im looking to start either a paralegal or legal secretary ILEX certificate in september so i could get a job next summer to 'further demonstrate' commitment. Any suggestions to which certificate would be more useful for getting a temp job and then crucially to enhance my postgrad application?

Also, my ambition is to do international legal aid i.e. for people in prison who cant afford representation for a trial.. any advice or information about that would be appreciated!!

Many thanks.

Let's be honest. Marijuana is no more harmful than tobacco or alcohol. Laws prohibiting the use or sale of marijuana have done next to nothing to curb use of the substance. Valuable tax dollars are being spent on law enforcement efforts related to trafficking of marijuana. Would the US be worse off if the substance was legalized and taxed in a similar way as alcohol?

I know this question has been asked many times before. I'm just curious to see what opinions are out there.

And for the record, I don't use marijuana, nor would I if it were legal.

I peed in the hot tub at my apartment and the guy that works there knew who I was and wrote my name down and ran off saying I was in big trouble. He knew because they had a red dye that activates when it touches urine.

A RN worked for AK DOC in 2005 and became involved with my brother who was an inmate. He was a "patient" and under care and custody of DOC. My brother served almost 20 years in prison. He was to be released in a couple of months. He committed suicide in late May '06 due to relationship problems with the ex-DOC nurse/"girlfriend."

I filed a complaint with the AK Department of Commerce Community and Economic Development/board of nursing, and I was notified today that they would not pursue the complaint due to "The statues and regulations that govern the practice of nursing in the State of Alaska do not prohibit a licensed nurse from becoming personally involved with a patient or inmate."

Nothing will bring my brother back. I know she violated some guidelines, what are they specifically? I live in AZ, but this took place in Alaska.

She abused her power/authority as an employee. My brother was in no emotional and mental state to get involved with a person of authory. Thanks.

My credit union teller gave me a fake $100 bill. I tried to use it at a store and the cashier told me it's fake. So I take it back to the credit union. They won't take it back. Can't file a small claim in a court. I have no proof. If I file a police report, I still won't get my money back. How can I get my money back?

It's generally agreed that "respecting" means supporting or endorsing. But look at the word "an" in the phrase "an establishment of religion".

Current jurisprudence treats the clause as if it read "respecting the establishment of religion", and treating "establishment" as a verb. To establish. Congress shall make no law to establish a religion.

But the text reads "respecting AN establishment of religion". Now, you can get the same result as above by treating "establishment" as a gerundive participle (a form of a verb) like "enactment". Congress shall make no law that establishes a religion.

But what if "establishment" was being used as a noun? What if the clause was referring to any religious establishment, aka a church or religious organization. Congress shall make no law supporting/endorsing a religious organization.

Does treating "establishment" as a noun change the meaning of the clause?

This is a scenario from Washington State in the early 1980s (see North v. Port of Seattle, King County Circuit Court, 1983). Officers planted a wallet with $10 inside but no identification near a pay phone. An individual picked up the wallet, put the $10 in his pocket, and walked away. He was then arrested for petty theft. I have two questions for you:

(1) Is this arrest legal or is it entrapment?
(2) Regardless of the current law, in your personal opinion should the arrest be legal?
