My roomate will not leave or sign off of the lease, so I'm thinkin I'll just not pay the rent. I know I'll have to go to court and pay it anyway, but at least I'll be out of the lease!! What say you good people on the internet?

I got a notice of hearing regarding a civil court case that was dismissed because the plaintiff failed to appear at the initial hearing (I am the named defendant.) The letter came via regular mail and was not served to me. It wasn't an order to appear, it was just an notice of hearing. The plaintiff apparently has now filed a motion to have the dismissal set aside. For what reasons I do not know, obviously it was dismissed because he did not show, but he has no basis to have it dismissed. my problem is that I have an out of state job assignment that is really crucial for me to take which falls in that time frame as the hearing. Since I wasn't ordered to appear is it possible to send a letter to the judge stating that the plaintiff has no legal basis to have the dismissal set aside and also to state i will be unable to attend. According to the clerk's office it will be the same judge deciding on the dismissal as ruled for the dismissal to begin with. Advice anyone! thanks!

LongBeach Long Island (NY) charges to get onto the beach. I thought that beaches were considered public.

... since it charges, presumably this leaves out those who can't afford the $7 per person admission.

... or am I totally wrong and such beaches are not considered "public"???

The project is almost over, it looks good and has public confidence. You have managed it all the way through giving it your best effort. It will shortly open, when you suddenly discover that the main contractor has used inferior materials, possibly compromised the public safety, and falsified documents very cleverly, lying to you face. your reputation and future is a stake.
What do you do?

I have always been interested in criminal law and I am thinking about going to school to be a paralegal. I would like to know how many positions there are for paralegals working in criminal law? Criminal defense is the only thing I would want to do. It appears to me that there are not many criminal law paralegals out there, am I wrong?

the term "Please" means a "polite request" so they are asking you not to smoke when someone asks you to do something you have a right to say,"No." Isn't that correct?
I don't smoke, I just used this because it is the most common form, it could also be, "Please no talking" for all I care. I am just interested in how have the word Please in it affects the legal aspect of the sign.

It is a shame that there are so many homeless people out there and as time goes by it will get worse. Or economy is getting to the point where people have to choose. Some people have to chose between a gallon of milk for there kids and a gallon of gas. Some people have to chose to eat or there medications. And the way the rent is these days it's crazy. And no employer wants to give cost of living raises. And landlords just keep raising rents to the point where people cant even live. I do understand there are allot of hard working people that work hard for what they have. And that is cool
but what about the disabled. Or the mother that did not finish school and her husband of 15 yrs just left her. Or the big company that just downsized and the supervisor that worked at the company for 10 yrs just got laid of cause of it.
And all the commercials to help all the people in other countries? What about helping our own fellow man first before we help everyone else in the world. And those poor Katrina victims that are still struggling after it all.
America you really need to look at your own back yard before you help others. I suggest people volunteer at your local church give that bum on the street your spare change instead of saying get a job. Free cycle the clothes you don’t want or need. Give food to the local pantry place for the less fortunate.
I am proud to be an American because I looked in my own back yard and I have help many even though I am disabled with limited income I always find a way to lend a helping hand

Can You?

other federal government officials for war crimes? Are these civil or criminal offenses? Should he be tried in a federal or congressional court, or in a World Court, just as the Serbian leadership was tried in The Hague for war crimes? What is the appeals process if he is tried in one court? What are the punishments for the crimes? What is the model: Nuremberg or The Hague? What is the nearest US domestic model?

It requires a PHOTOCOPY of the model's drivers liscence with EVERY photo which is sold or resold or published online.
This means that you can go to content resellers, say you're an adult business, and obtain the models' personal information (and even social security number, if they have that on their drivers liscence).
I've done this. It's easy.
I think this opens alot of doors to identity theft.
There is NO stipulation which gives the model ANY control out of this after she has signed the model release and had her IDs copied. This law might be half way fair, if it stipulated that the model must sign a NEW release every time her images change hands so she could atleast have some control of who sees HER personal info.
It still leaves out the issue that if she starts a site herself that she has to have her HOME ADDRESS online.... as it requires that the name and PHYSICAL ADDRESS where "2257 records may be obtained" be linked from the front page of your website.
Is this unconstitutional?
