I'm thinking about going to law school. Anyone think it's a good idea, bad idea, reasons why?? I've heard that law school graduates have a hard time finding employment after they graduate. Is that true? Are there any areas of law to specialize in (tax, property, personal injury, corporate law etc) that would increase the odds of finding employment because there's more of a need for a certain type of lawyer? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I've got a potentially stupid question - I've got a song I'd like to protect with copyright but I don't really understand the extent to which my song would be protected. I live in Ireland, so if I copyrighted the song over here, would that ONLY protect the song in Ireland, or is the song also legally protected abroad, say in the UK/US?

This is what the question says :
For the following two questions imagine that you are the chairperson for a meeting and explain how you would handle the situation described.
1) A voice vote has been taken on a motion, but it is not clear whether the majority is in favor of the motion. Somone at the meeting calls for a "division of the house".
2) An amedent has been made to a motion and the amendment has been voted down.
Thank you

“Did Riel Receive A Fair Trial?”
By: Samira 8-3

Riel was charged with high treason for leading the North-West Rebellion against the Queen and her Canadian government in 1885 in what is now Saskatchewan. Prime Minister Macdonald decided that he had to be executed regardless of widespread belief that Riel was mentally ill and should be given mercy.
Riel's execution is often seen as a breaking point in relations between French and English.
Louis Riel did not receive a fair trial from a number of perspectives. One would include, that the case against Riel was being heard by a jury of six English- speaking men. At that point, English and French were not the best people who were getting along. English- speaking men at the small courtroom in Regina have been against Riel’s beliefs and his side of the story.
When the Hudson’s Bay Company gave up the control of Rupert’s Land in 1869, Riel created the Provisional Government to get closer to the Métis rights. Many English-speaking men thought that this was obligating treason. Treason expresses once someone is over throwing the government in power.
Ultimately, Riel was on trial. Quebec was concerned that if Riel would be hanged, they would be angry with Conservative Party and if he would not be hanged, Ontario would be enraged.
Many members of the Canadian government believed that Riel was an insane and was not responsible for his acts. He did not refuse that he stayed at a mental hospital, but Riel said that the doctors had specialized that he was cured.
Louis Riel was insane man, but his plan was to populate the divisions of Canada with many races, Catholic and Protestant. Many Metis thought that if Riel was insane, would sane men follow an insane leader- risk their lives for him, respect him and confide in him.
Louis Riel was no traitor in Canada. He was a loyalist who stood up for his people and their beliefs.

heres how my unorthodox questions work. they do not give my stance or anything, however, i'm gonig to provide 3 valid points for each side and whichever side you choose to side with refute the opposite points. I. E. if i said 1. i like watermelon because then you would say no, you do not like watermelon because
PLEASE do not say "i agree with these points!" unless you are also refuting the opposite side's points. thank you!
Pro:
1. School uniforms would help to unify the students as a whole
2. Uniforms would prevent richer students from flaunting new clothes
3. Dress codes would be No longer needed, and this helps stress on teachers as well, as they don't have to scan their students every day for breaking of that code
Con:
1. Many kids feel that the only thing they can control is what they wear, and they couldn't even do that
2. would cause lots more money/electricity used..need to wash/replace uniform many times
3. May cause more students put in homeschool (PO'd parents)

Our Government decides so many things that we as a people are against yet they do these things more and more often, What would happen if everyone decided for example 'none of us were going to pay the congestion charge anymore' surley they couldnt fine everyone? and if they did but we all united and refused to pay the fines - they couldnt take everyone to court could they?

Pro:
1. In the case of getting no outside help, what are they going to do?
2. What's wrong with vengeance? isn't an eye for an eye correct?
3. Jail = parole / bail / plea bargains, unless it's a life sentence.
Con:
1. That sort of violence is never justified
2. encourages murderers to get away with what they're doing
3. are we truly civilized, to justify the killing of people?

All right...side that supports the change: Pro
1. UN is specifically designed to combat injustice in the world, such as terrorism
2. UN is engineered in such a way that it can communicate with terrorist countries, negotiate.
3. US is not powerful enough to stand alone against terrorism
Con: (us should take this over)
1. UN is corrupted in that it includes these terrorist countries... they're not going to support the combat of terrorism
2. UN has no standing army to "combat" terrorism
3. UN is still trying to decide the definition of terrorism too passive!!

My mom has been working at a school for the mentally disabled for almost 3 years now. One of the requirements for the job is a GED or High school diploma. Well, when they hired her, they knew she did not have her her GED, they told her to keep a secret until she took the test. Now they just found out that the State is coming by to check up on the place like they do every year. The company is getting scared that the state will see they hired my mom without her GED or diploma and now they fired her for not having her GED. Is this legal? Could she sue them or take them to court? After all, they knew good and well when they hired her she did not have her GED.

He does have a lawyer, that's what his and her lawyer's came up with. she broke all the rules why was she not held in contempt of court? The excuse for her getting away with breaking court orders was his lawyer actually told him that she was the mother of his children and he had an affair end of story...So pay up or you will go to jail this is coming from his lawyer.

I don't believe it's spelled out in the Constitution. Do all U.S. states have that standard and why? Why not 11-1 or 10-2? Can individual states legislate a different number other than unanimous?

Devin Moore at 17 years old was arrested for car theft and while being booked he grabbed the officers gun, shot and killed him and two other officers. He then escaped in a police car. He and his attorney blame it on the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Sony and many other companies are being sued for this. Will the companies have to pay? Does the media cause violence? Are there any laws for this kind of stuff?

I'm 21, married, with a 5 month old son. My husband is abusive. He's also kept me locked in the house for two years, and cut off all my contact with friends. He also cheats.

I'd like to get a divorce. But I'm currently in the middle of spouse immigration. If we break up now, I have to leave the country. And if I didn't have to, I'd want to. That means a custody battle over my son, who was born here. Also, my having been locked away for two years while my husband worked, isn't going to look good in the "responsibility" area. Fair enough except that my husband honestly doesn't give a damn about his son, and will waste his last cash on booze while I'm scraping pennies out of the couch for baby formula. I can't leave my son with that.

I also have no cash of my own, and no access to his.

I need out of this situation before it breaks me, and I don't know how. I have zero proof. Any ideas, any knowledge of divorce/custody proceedings and my chances, would be very very much appreciated
