Law & Ethics - March 2007

While defending the size of his own home after attacking Gore et al for having mansions, Sean admitted he lives in a 6000+ sf home, but said "that's the average" for the US. I have not seen this to be the average in places I've lived, but maybe you have. Is it the average in your state? How big is your home?

My employer has a return-to-work program. Since I am unable to perform my normal duties, a "modified" or "light duty" position has been offered to me. However, it doesn't pay near what I made in my former position. Am I required to accept the lower paying position?

It superceeds my motion for discovery. Mother and brother are trying to cheat me out of inheritance in my deceased dad's estate in his will. Mom wants this summary judgment to finish probate without her and my brother co-executives and co trustees to have to be deposed. They have stolen, cheated me, etc. Discovery could eaily show there was a conpiracy and collusion to defraud me, and that dad was incompetent and their attorney was complicit. Any cases? Can rules of court be suspended, bent? Are there cases where probate is held up until my request for discovery is finished and they are deposed?. They cross motioned via the summary judgment which is not allowing discovery to happen.

I can not remember where I originally heard about this law but I was hoping that you people out there could help.

the law that i am trying to find is a Canadian law that basically states that if you are in possession of someone else’s property for more than 3 months without a written or verbal contract as to its return, you now become the owner of that property

(By property I do not necessarily mean land but anything)

I bit into a sandwich at favorite restaraunt. Suddenly, I felt a terrible pain in my mouth! I spit out my food and it had blood in it. A steel wire from the grill brush was in my sandwich and slashed my lip! I ran out of the restaraunt and my friend told the manager what happened. She gave him her card and comped the meal. I went to the hospital and got a tetanus shot. My mouth hurt! What should I do? What can I do?

Where is the story on Peter Paul? Why no prosecution?

What about Lee Radek and the Barrett Report? Why can't we see it, we paid for it?

And now the latest, Hillary has ethics charges filed against her by an outside group and yet NOTHING is on the news?

My husband & I have to go out of town this weekend unexpectedly & are unable to bring our two girls with us (ages 3 and 18 months). I know we should have done this sooner, but I have not legally written out who will care for our girls should we die. Our girls go everywhere with us. This is the first time we are going somewhere without them. Anyhow, all attorneys say it will take weeks to get the paperwork back. Can I fill out a will on my own and have it notarized and witnessed? Will it hold up in court? My husband and I have decided who our girls will be with should we die and that person has accepted. What should I do? We leave tomorrow night and I have to have something in place before we go. Thank you so much!

Though I do agree with a Woman's right to choose over her body, I aslo have mixed feelings about abortion. One thing that I always think of when someone says "It's a womans choice on what to do with her body" I can't help but think that the fetus has a body too. Therefor by her saying kill it and get it out of me, it seems she's not only deciding on her body but the fetus body too, which is not her body. Do you think a Women's right to choose over her own body when it comes to abortion is flawed?

On my son's basketball team, a boy named Bob Jr. injured his forearm in Sept 2005. He supposedly had his left forearm broken, requiring him to wear a cast for the rest of 2005 (still can shoot with both hands). It's now 2007 & still the same cast!

In my opinion, he uses the cast illegally to give opponents a good shove - most of the time behind the backs of the referees. It seems he enjoys using this cast as a weapon. I mean he really lays the cast into the opposing players. In fact, he has rendered four players unconscious.

I can't imagine any cast that would need to stay on that long. However, his parents always have some medical terms why he needs it. Parents of opposing teams get upset and stated their anger but only to be calmed down by Bob Jr's parents state "He is an aggressive player under the boards & it is not his fault he has to wear a cast".

Everyone is pacified by his parents approval of the cast.
I'm 99% sure there is no reason he needs it but what can I do?

One night I was robbed and assaulted in the parking lot of the apartment complex that I recently lived in. They have security gates but they do not work and the parking lot is very dark at night. I had a craniotomy in result from the blow to my head and have been out from work for two months now. Isn’t it the manager or the owners job of the apartment complex to keep a safe living environment for the residents? Am I titled to receive compensation from the apartment complex for neglect or something?

BERLIN (Reuters) - Berlin Zoo rallied to the defense of Knut, a three-month-old polar bear cub, Tuesday, rejecting demands that the animal be allowed to die after being abandoned by its mother.

ADVERTISEMENT


The fate of "cuddly Knut" has gripped the German capital since his birth in December. Rejected by his mother Tosca, the cub was adopted by a zookeeper who moved into the animal's enclosure to care for him round the clock.


Some animal rights campaigners think this will humanize the bear too much and want the zoo to stop saving young animals.


"Hand-rearing a polar bear is not appropriate and is a serious violation of animal rights," Bild newspaper quoted animal rights campaigner Frank Albrecht as saying.


"In fact, the cub should have been killed," he added.


Berlin Zoo said the animal would not be put down or left to fend for itself: "That's complete nonsense," a spokesman said.


Knut has become an unofficial Berlin city mascot and has even had his picture taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz as part of a new climate change campaign.


Knut's mother Tosca -- formerly a performing animal in an East German zoo -- rejected Knut and his twin brother shortly after their birth. The twin died but Knut was "adopted" by zookeeper Thomas Doerflein.


The polar bear is bottle-fed, washed and cuddled by his adoptive father, who moved in to the zoo to sleep in a bed by the bears crate. Newspapers report that Doerflein also plays him Elvis songs on the guitar and gave him Christmas presents

My best friends husband was sentenced to an 18 month sentence, 9 months in our local County Jail, 9 months suspended. We are in New Mexico. She and I have searched most of the day for info on whether or not he has to do the full 9 months in County, OR if he qualifies for the "good time" credits.

He is a non-violent offender, and is participating in the work release program, and has had no problems so far.

Can anyone help me with finding out if the sentence is the full 9 months, or if "good time" applies? Thanks in advance!
