If you could steal, or found a bag of a million dollars and knew for a fact that you could get away with it. No one would ever find out, or anything incriminating would ever happen. Would you keep it?

I want to help a friend fake her own suicide in order to avoid an abuser. I was thinking of having two guys dressed as cops go and tell him that she was found dead so he'll leave her alone, but alas, impersonating a police officer is illegal. It would be cool if we could pay a couple of cops to do that. What do you think?

In my literary studies course, my Professor told us that the law school at my University was going to begin mandatory writing courses focused primarily on legal writing, for their students. Apparently, some of the firms that hired the school's graduates, were complaining that the graduates didn't have good writing skills. My question is, exactly how much writing does a lawyer actually have to do? I assumed that was what paralegals were for? Also, would an English major make a good law student?

Technically, the UK still owns America. Should we therefore revoke the Colonists independance, and ask for back taxes since 1776?

My brother was in charge of theft under $5000, it was his first time. my parents hired a lawyer to apply diversion for him. We paid $1500 for retainer

The lawyer said if diversion is approved , she'll return half the retainer which is $750.
she appeared to the court about 7 times for my brother. Last December diversion was approved. In March 7th, was my brother's last court date, cause he has already completed all the community works and stuffs. Our lawyer called the next day , said everything 's done, she'll send the bill.

But till now, we still haven't got her bill. My dad called her twice, she was like, do you think we owe you or you owe us? My dad said we just need to see the bill.

is this normal? is it a normal reques that we need to see the bill?

thanx a lot

My sister is a single mother with an arrest warrant. If she should get picked up with her kids in the car, or home alone with her kids, what happens to the children? Does social services get called, or will the police take the children to a family member?

I was in a store yesterday and I went to the change-room to try on a shirt. I heard a noise coming from the change-room but was told by the worker to go on in as nobody was in there. I opened the door and I saw 2 manikins have sex. I am disgusted by what I saw can I sue the store for sexual harrassment. Thanks

We have an on going law suit that is on a Non-Contingency basis. We have paid out over $8,000.00 over 5 years. Can the attorney get himself dismissed from the case for lack of funds? Lending legal companies won't fund unless on a contingency basis with the firm. One lending company told us that they thought the Defendants weren't viable if collection became necessary yet, one Defendant has offices throughout Canada and the U.S. The other Defendant has offices throughout the U.S. and Europe. We have an Affidavit stating that we could have done in the 8 digit figure in revenue which we lost due to the Defendant's actions. We have Libel, Breach of Contract and various torts. Discovery and Depositions have been completed. Now into the Damage phase but the expert needs a $5,000.00 retainer. The Defendants motion to dismiss has been denied. Now the attorney needs funds to continue and the "well-is-dry". Can he get dismissed..?

in 1998 in NY, I walked into a cd shop and shoplifted a couple cd's. I was caught, put in jail overnight, and sent to court the next morning. My sentence was 24 hrs. comm. serv. I lived in MD at the time, and was just visiting NY for the weekend. So when I was released from court, i took the bus home to MD..so I never did my comm. serv hours. Now I am trying to join the military, and when a background search was done on me with the NCIC, it stated that I had a warrant for my arrest for failure to appear. So I called the NY ccourt clerks office, state's attny, police dept, and gave them my info, and asked to find out if I have a warrant..and they all sd no!!...but the problem is that on the NCIC report which is what the military uses to do a background ck, states that I do!!..so I am confused and I need to get this cleared up, b4 I join the Military. Can someone help me?
