Law & Ethics - October 2006

I have a very large, extremely winnable potential class action against a major American corporation. I don't want to deal with an attorney looking for a few bucks from me, because this is a legitimate actionable behavior on the corporation's part and I can't afford to mount a suit on my own. I'd need to find a class action attorney who is ethical, brave and competent (the defendent will have corporate resources) and innovative (someone who's stupid won't begin to grasp the technical intricacies of the case, let alone win it). Any reasonable, responsible suggestions?

I was reading about the evidence in the case on Wikipedia and I'm convinced he did it. What do you think?

My daughter was arrested for a felony malicious wounding on another 14 year old girl. Both of the girls planned the fight (day, time, etc). During the fight my daughters necklace was ripped off and as it was falling she caught it in her hand, as she was looking to toss it to one of her friends, the other girl hit her so she hit her back in the nose. From that the other girl received a scratch on her nose and later her parents called the police. The officer called my daughters cell phone and assured her that she wasnt in any trouble and that he just wanted to get her side of the story. After he gained her trust and got her to say that she did hit the girl he arrested her. The only statements the officer got were from three girls, all of whom were involved in the fight and are all white. No other people were talked to regarding this so now I have a daughter who is an honor roll student facing up to 8 years incarcerated and all because of a scratch on the nose. Is this justice?

This organization says that none of its positions can be mentioned in political mailings for candidates.

WTF??!!

They have the authority to suspend First Amendment rights?

What are they thinking? I have no clue how they expect to get away with this.

The Republicans are ignoring them. What can AARP do about it?

I am fifteen years old and my boyfriend is 17 soon to be 18. He and my father have never gotten along, and lately my dad has been threatening to keep him away by getting a restraining order. My boyfriend has never, ever threatened me or my family in any way and I was wondering if it would still be possible for my dad to take legal action. If not in a restraining order, is there anything else he can do? If you know any other helpful information on this topic, I would very much appreciate it. Thank You.

It doesn't make sense. Stem cell research could lead to a plathoera of scientific breakthroughs. Many terminal diseases - Parkinson's among the many - could potentially be neutralized. People with previously no other hope would be given an extra chance. This is clearly the future of our species.

The main argument against seems to be fear of cloning. This isn't going to happen. Brave new world type scenarios will never exist, besides, this is not even the main goal of stem cell research.

Anyone who actually knows anything at all about biology/chemical research supports stem cell research. Hollywood actors and politicians who have failed us before - and who don't know the facts - are against.

If we don't amend the laws now and begin stem cell research, other countries will, and we will lose 100s of brilliant cutting edge scientists who will usher in the new era of the world.

I'm in Ohio and during our next Elections in November, a law may be passed to ban smoking in public. How is that even constitutional? So, let me get this straight, owmen can abort their own babies, homosexuals can't marry, and we will no longer have the right to smoke outside our homes. Oh, and I can't forget that in another state they are trying to ban baggy jeans. What next, are they going to ban cable television? What about football because it's an agressive sport? what are your opinions?

My question is specifically geared toward the fact that I have seen a lot of racism in the world today, and yet I have heard Americans, for the concept of freedom say that those who are not white do not deserve freedom. What's your stance on this subject and why do you think that?

Just found out my neighbours may have taken delivery back in Septmeber of my lap top when it was returned after being repaired. Problem is they're like the hardest family on the estate & don't wanna upset them by asking if they did sign for it cos obviously they don't want to give it back to me if they have. Know I should just let the police sort it but seen the damage they do when others have informed the police about things they've done.

So do I claim off my Coverplan Insurance as the repair company has advised me to do or bite the bullet & risk broken legs...yeah no joke!

Every kid drinks by at least 16, you used to be an adult at 18, but this gay law makes it 21. WTF is that. Politicians get angry at young people for voting but they refuse to give these people equal rights.

I was recently in a car accident... where I was at a dead stop in traffic.. (wrong place.. wrong time) and a woman came out of no where and hit the passanger side of my car. She was young and cute and claims that a "third party driver" ran her off of the road and that forced her to hit us, so the young police officer who wrote up the report did not find her at fault because of this "third party" that could have been a ghost as far as we know.. This person did not actually hit her, so there is no physical evidence of her claim. But because that is what the police report says, of course that is what her insurance company is going by. So her insurance company (geico) is refusing to cover the cost of of my damages, and my insurance company (Nationwide) is refusing to do much about it except pay for my damages and raise my rates!! This a bunch of BS. So can I sue Geico to try and get them to fork out the money since i did NOTHING wrong? If so what kind of lawyer do I need?
