I run an in-home daycare and have all the parents sign a contract agreeing to the terms in the handbook before their child starts. I had a parent tell me today that they feel my program is too structured (for their behaviorally challenge children) and wanted to call it quits today. I informed her that in her contract she signed she needs provide two weeks written notice or two weeks pay. (This IS my only income) The parent said she will "get back to me" about it this weekend when she decides. If she blows me off what do I need to do to get her to pay me the money she owes me? Where do I start that legal process?

My apartment for the better part of october (which is when they officially turn it on for the year), had no heat although I did not suffer any sickness from it, just had to wear slippers and a sweater, Others had the same problem, but i was the only one who compplained, The complaints I made to the office did no help, They would never answer me back, but they did send the maintenance people, they did come and see if they could fix it on several occasions. Than because they could not, they hired a private company to do it. I feel inconvienenced and want the apartments to give me free rent for the month of October, whats my chances of this being in my favor, I was told to sue in court for the rent I feel Im owed for my aggravation.

Right now I am extremely upset and angry about what happened in PA to a 4 day old baby girl. Her father used a cattle prod on her twice, broke bones, fractured her face etc. It's on CNN.com. I have cried about this and I am angry and I want this "man" to be stoned to death.

Why do these things happen? I have faith and I know people have free will but why does our society TOLERATE it!!?? Why isn't there a MANDATORY DEATH PENALTY to people who murder anyone, molest or rape children? How many innocents should have to suffer before we as a society say enough is enough???

I'm sorry, I am just really upset about this. I have 3 children and this whole thing sickens me. I hope this piece of human filth gets the chair.

A male solicitor dealing with mainly female clients uses his knowledge of their failed relationships to gain their trust and therefore an unfair advantage in order to enter into a relationship. I thought the patriarchal system was fading...

Why do Americans continue to believe everything we read/hear no matter how far fetched it seems??

Anyone can post anything on a website and call it "news."

I think it is sad and disturbing. I was just watching the news about a woman who murdered her two daughters in 2003 and is now free, because she was declared not guilty by reason of insanity. She got mental treatment and now is being or has been released and competent. What is wrong with our legal system? When she gets or has more children if she does she will murder her precious babies again!! It makes me so mad. What do you think?

I live in a very bigoted community and county in Oregon and I have unfortunately had to file a few cases here and there is a great deal of bigotry. I need to pay an attorney to remove my cases from this county and into another diverse county and court, i.e., Multnomah County, Oregon where they can be heard fairly and by more diverse judges.

Where I am now, there is a great deal of bigotry and blatant violations of the law and the judge makes rude and nasty comments to me even though they are unwarranted and I don't want to lose my cases based on a bigoted court not conducting themselves within the law. The bigots I speak of are White or course.

I want to pay an attorney to get my cases removed from this county and into a more diverse county where they can be heard fairly & with the potential of an African American judge &/or jury because when African Americans are involved in such matters involving other AA's the propensity for racism to prevail is lessened greatly. Help pls. TY

I work in Texas. I carry a company issued cell phone 24 hours a day and I am required to answer it at all time. We are being issued new phones next week. These new phones have GPS tracking capabilities.We have been told that we will not be tracked. However I know for a fact that the boss has already set the service up to track the phones. Can they legally track the phone 24 hours a day even when I am not at work.

Ok so I am walking on the street listening to my IPOD and I am obviously not paying 100% attention to whats going on. Plus I got a huge headache from waking up and took an advil so I totally feel like a computer. This guy is riding on his bike and crashed into me(to his defense I doubt he saw me) but still what the hell is he doing on a pedestrian walkway in the first place. Anyway I decide to play it cool and keep walking even though he was close to breaking my arm if he wasnt going a few miles more. So he catches up to me and asks are u all right? I sarcastically respond: Yeah my arm aint broke I am fine. I either mistook his intentions or he realized its all cool and decided to push me a little so he rudely said: How about asking me if i am all right? U should watch where u are f...ing going. I got pissed and told him that he should be lucky I am not American otherwise I would charge him. He muttered something and rode off. So is this crap in any way my fault or he is just insane?

I think it should be made illegal. It is so wrong to kill innocent babies.

But what do you think?

What is the practice of law? Is it about really about truth and fairness? Or do many lawyers think that law is the use of a technicality by which injustice is justified and justice becomes unjust. It is constant distortion of truths by which truth vanishes and injustice is believed and fulfilled. It is a skill, an art and a profession for exploitation. Ironically, we need the honest and deeply moral lawyers to fight for the rights of those maltreated by the legal system. And it is with the strength of these few hero’s that we believe in the hope of justice.
