Law & Ethics - February 2007

Last October, I was fired from a small botique for supposedly stealing something. I was told over the phone, and didn't really get a chance to explain myself thoroughly. I never recieved my last pay check either. I most certainly didn't steal the dress (it was two sizes too big for me, common now) but was fired becuase one of the other girls said I did it. Everytime I think about it, I get really upset. My confidence was pretty ruined by this experience, not to mention I was out of a job. Do you think emotional distress and being fired under false pretenses (is that what you call it?) without recieving my last paycheck is grounds for a law suit?

I'm trying to find out how long alabama will hold someone. My brother got pulled over in Alabama and they ran his info and he turned up with a warrant in Missouri. He has waived extradition and we are just trying to figure out how long alabama will hold him waiting for Missouri. I searched here on answers, and also googled but I cannot seem to find a site that can answer this for me (or I'm just missing it somewhere) Any info or sites you can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Does any modern day country practice what the British used to do (for definition, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_colony ). Just curious because many people, as a response to the question of what do do with criminals, respond 'put them on an island' as a solution.

Some politicians have suggested that the United States enact a constitutional amendment requiring that the Federal government balance its budget annually. Explain why such an amendment, if strictly enforced, would force the government to enact a contractionary fiscal policy whenever the economy experienced a severe recession.

God tests our reflex action all the time.
1. Take an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. (630 AD) (revenge)
2. Turn the other cheek. (about 01BC) (forgive)
In those periods, there were no coded laws that are now existent no doubt, and in present times, the law takes charge.
What would YOU do if hurt or harm was done to you by another?

don't you think it should be law that when this happens that every employer should be required to increase everyone's income to compensate for this? After all, it is due to increasing costs of living, which in turn makes businesses more money in the long run.

I have a product idea. What does it mean when something says "Licensed by the NFL"? Does everything have to be licensed, I mean, let's say it's a football ( a common object), but it represents something in the NFL(like the football phones with team logo), does this have to be licensed? If it deals with a specific identity that is found only in the NFL is that what causes it to be licensed? If manufacturer already produces a licensed product, can they then produce another product much more easily? Is it better to sell a product idea, if possible than it is to keep it and try to do it on your own?

How would that affect your opinion of capital punishment? Do you think states would place a moratorium (or an outright ban) on executions?

Unlikely? Consider the following Facts on Post-Conviction DNA Exonerations (source: www.innocenceproject.org)

* There have been 194 post-conviction DNA exonerations in the United States to date.

* 14 DNA exonerees were at one time sentenced to death or served time on death row.

* The average length of time served by those exonerated by DNA testing is 12 years.

* Since 1989, there have been tens of thousands of cases where prime suspects were arrested or indicted – until DNA testing (prior to trial) proved that they were wrongly accused.

I know, I know...time is money. However shouldn't a qualified lawyer be able to give me some indication that my case has merit over the phone?

I spoke with the lawyer's secretary or legal assistant on the phone (can't remember which), but not to him directly. After reviewing the details of our conversation with him, she called back and ask if I would like to schedule a consultation....for $250/hr.

Now if the lawyer truly believed my case had any merit, souldn't he offer to consult with me for free?

Or am I just paraniod after hearing so many negative comments about lawyers and their integrity. Sorry in advance if my question offends any lawyers out there, that is truly not my intention.
