Please explain. Do your feelings contradict each other? Should both be stopped?

Rent at my complex is due on the first of the month. Recently, the (new) management company cut back office hours from standard 9a-5p, Monday-Friday to only being open 9a-noon, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I paid the rent using the drop box -- which is what I was told it is to be used for -- during my lunch break on March 1st.
Today, March 6th, I receive notice on my door that unless I pay rent plus a $100 late fee by March 9th, I will be served with eviction papers. I attempted to call the number on the paper, and was met with 10 rings followed by the standard, "we value our residents and are not available, please leave a message."

My options at this point seem to be 1) take time off work to go in person tomorrow morning during their limited hours, 2) drop yet ANOTHER check in the drop box and hope they get that one.
Is this an issue of good-faith on their part?

To follow up on my earlier question, basically, if I get a restraining order on a crazy ex-wife (I'm dating her ex-husband), will the order NOT allow her to call my phone, but allow her 2 children (5 and 10 years old) to call? Her calls are very harassing and CONSTANT. Serious answers only please.

I have a two questions about jurt trials and law. I am from New Mexico and we can look up anyone court dates and information regarding that case online. What I would like to know is:

1. Are jury trials normally public? Can anyone sit in on a trial and hear the outcome?

2. Are you allowed to inspect court documents ?

I have also found this site, but find it difficult to determine the answer I am looking for, any help would be greatly valued. Thanks

Many businesses, colleges, and schools have banned “hate speech” that expresses views based on bigotry or racism. Some people believe that this is censorship and it violates the First Amendment right to free speech. What is your opinion? WHY?

Question - and only serious answers please! I live in Missouri. I'm dating a guy that's going through a divorce. The papers are filed and the ball is rolling. His soon to be ex is psychotic and will call him numerous NUMEROUS times a day/night to tick him off. He's finally heeded my advice to IGNORE HER. She calls his cell phone, which is actually in my name. They have 2 children together. If she refuses to stop harassing him/us, can I file harrasment charges, or a restraining order, that will prevent her from calling, and only allow his children to call him? She's a VERY coniving person that will NOT stop. What's my options, legally? PLEASE only serious answers. He also lives with me. There's no visitation for the kids established, he's supposed to get them every weekend, but she constantly denies him seeing his kids. He's a GREAT father. Need some help with this please!

When one juror said afterwards : "I will say there was a tremendous amount of sympathy for Mr. Libby on the jury. It was said a number of times, 'What are we doing with this guy here? Where's Rove? Where are these other guys?' " Collins said. "I'm not saying we didn't think Mr. Libby was guilty of the things we found him guilty of. It seemed like he was, as Mr. Wells put it, he was the fall guy."

What is the next step?

I worked for a company that is now involved in a class action lawsuit. They are being sued because they did not inform you when you are hired that if you take a day off. Sick, etc.. even if they OK it they take 10% out of your commission plus you do not get paid for the day. You only earn 5% commission so it is tough. They are also being sued for sexual harrassment. I have friends who still work there and the boss came in one day and told the Manager to tell them to sign the papers or they would not have a job. When someone asked to clarify " if I don't sign I am fired the owner said "yes" . I thought this was illegal. My friends signed because they have families and depend on the job. What can they do?

I'm just a young girl minding my own business. The new rules of random stop and search in subways and buses...is this necessary?

The subway has thousands of entrances that terrorists can get thru with no detection. Does Bush think manning only the busy entrances is going to stop a terrorist?
Soon the govt will have the right to stop me anytime anywhere to seach my bag for NO APPARENT REASON. I was just WALKING for godsake!

I am a student living with 5 others and our landlord is dishonest. I know for a fact, that for at least the last two years running, he has kept, with no good reason, the damage deposit paid to him by the previous tennants. I cannot afford to lose my damage deposit (which is exactly one month's rent) so I propose not to pay the last month's rent, due in June. If we all do this, what power will he have to sue or evict us? I have been told that he could legally sue us for the last month's rent but that as the damage deposit equals one month's rent exactly, he won't get very far.
There must be precedent for this in English law. Can anybody help me out?

My brother called police to report a man who tried to strangle him at a gas station in front of many witnesses, including the station owner. My brother then went home (this is a very small town, we have 2 officers). An officer met my brother outside his home, began shouting at him to get away when he approached the car, and told him not to move, to put his hands up. He told the officer that he was the victim that called police, and then moved away from the car and stood in his driveway, waiting for the other officer to arrive. The #1 officer came out of the car and grabbed my brother, handcuffed him, and forced him into the back of the car. My brother did not resist, but kept asking why he was being arrested. I was there along with others. He was not read his rights or told why he was being arrested. He is being charged with resisting arrest, and with all the witnesses we expect that the charge will be dropped, but can my brother sue the dept for loss of wages and attorneys fees?
