Law & Ethics - August 2006

We are trying to build a camp for kid's with special medical needs near Yosemite National Park. Unfortunately, we can't find out what the law is for worker's comp regarding volunteers or even what level of government level the law belongs to. The quotes for the price of workers compensation if we get it for volunteers would prohibiit us from letting anyone volunteer at the camp which is a shame. How do nonproift camps and associaton s handle this and can anyone give us more information on worker's compensation?

I am heavily considering filing a federal and/or state lawsuit against my former employer for egregious civil and work-related violations as guaranteed under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). I disclosed my documented disability at the time I was hired (a mental illness), and later elaborated on it. However, they let me go and cited one of their primary reasons for doing so as my "boundary issues" with staff and members (in short, I have spatial boundary issues, but they called them "professional boundaries").

How do I go about filing a federal or even state lawsuit againt my former employer, how successful are these lawsuits generally and what is the maxium punitive damages I can be awarded under federal or state law(s)?

If I could sue that company into the ground I absolutely would, but there are probably set limits as to how much I can sue for, even if the discrimination was egregious in nature.

Are there actually laws against incestuous relationships or simply bans on marriage between people too closely related? If they are two consenting adults, is it noboby's business but their own? If a law banning such relationships exist, I imagine the main aim is to prevent child birth. Would such a law apply to those beyond child bearing age?

can an employer withhold your check for 30 days just because you did not give a 2 week notice? This person I know gave 1 week and worked it.

Many states have federal mandatory sentences if an offender commits a drug crime while they are in possesion of a gun. Many still, are sentenced to 50+ years even though they never brandished the gun or threatened anyone with it. Some were convicted for having a gun in their car during the transaction, some for having the gun on them. Check out this link and tell me what you think. I never thought about it until I heard of Weldon. Check it out...

By page 52 you know how the hysteria to attack Iraq got going and what Bush and Company actually knew about Iraq and the WMD's.
Thomas E. Ricks was there in person when Cheney making a speech to the Veteran of Foriegn Wars Convention got the hysteria going on August 26th of 2003 by declaring that "There is no doubt" that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, or WMD.
Cheney flatly called for war, proclaiming that Iraq was a clear and persent danger to the United States.

why do people often blame the way women dress for being raped? or if they flirt with a man? why do people think this therefore gives a man the right to rape somebody? why can't these rapists gain some willpower to resist? also, the argument is flawed as most women who are raped arn't wearing revealing clothes or drunk. surely it's a womens right to wear what she wants without fear of being raped.

There is a police report on the incident, he didn't get hurt at all but is saying he has over $4000 worth of doctors bills. we don't get along at all!!! What should I do, I don't can't afford an attorney. Doesn't he have to have proof? Can he get away with this?
