Law & Ethics - July 2007

Instead of 83 she made me 1982. I am being sued b/c I cancelled membership but they don't have any documentation. they have sent the rest of the contract to creditors and they are trying to collect the rest since at the time it was considered a "loan" I was taking out to pay monthly dues. Are there any lawyers in nyc to do this for free, or lawyers at all? do I have a valid case? What can i do about it?

What are your views on this topic? Could you see yourself using this law? there seems to be heavy crime here in south florida; do you think this law will help deter some criminals and help regular citzens feel more empowered and safe. Would you ever consider carrying a legal concealed weapon?

Wife backs into a car at store that was parked behind her blocking her in by an inconsiderate driver. When driver came back to her car my wife did not want to go though our insurance so she gave the girl driving car $200 to settle matter. Now young lady"s father calls and says that the mirror that was broken alone cost that much and wants to get estimates. I am leaning towards telling him that matter was settled when daughter took the money to settle matter and that if it was less he would not be calling to give some back. In addition his daughter was inconsiderate by blocking others in for 10 min and if I was driving I would not have stopped tell her car was pushed out of way or my truck was over it. I know it was my wifes fault legally but would I be correct to tell him to pound sand as the matter was settled when his daughter took cash?

Don't wounded soldiers deserve more than just to line the pockets of some CEO who sits at home and sadly, and I can think of no other way to put it, watches the news and counts his profits from the dead and wounded statistics.;

Writing comes easy to me so I signed up to work as an essaywriter for a couple bucks--I mean literally, a couple bucks.

Anyhow, one of the writings I completed 100% of is now popular with the customer's name as the writer. Although the customer purchased the writing, ($4 a page) none of the input was theirs, 100% of the writing was mine, do I have any legal rights whatsoever?

Just the fact that the awarded writer didn't write it would to me seem someone would have some recourse? Would the publisher have recourse if they found it was me not the credited writer who actually wrote the piece?

My friend needed money and his bank was closed, so his roommate wrote me a check, I cashed it and gave it to my friend. Within the past week I have discovered that my friend actually stole the check from his roommate and made it out to me. I was completely unaware of what happened until this past week. His roommate is pressing charges for several checks that were also taken. Am I guilty of anything here?

Muslim woman has been arrested for allegedly listening to music while sitting as a juror in a murder trial.
It is alleged she concealed an MP3 player and earphones beneath a traditional hijab.
The woman,was part of a murder trial jury at Blackfriars Crown Court. The man on trial was later jailed for life for murdering his wife.
So there you have it.A muslim can do many things whilst wearing a hijab.ie try to escape a failed bomb attack.
Why can they get away with wearing one.What utter contempt for the UK hides behind the mask of religious doctrine?
This woman has shown NO RESPECT WHATSOEVER for the victim's family.She's being held in contemt of court and I hope they throw the book at her.With stories like this,how can we ever be a 'united' society.It will never happen.I can't see a normally-dressed juror even thinking about walking into a court of law wearing an ipod??!! But just try challenging one of these 'women',and its race hate harassment.
What do you think?

After waiting 6 months for a reply from the Arkansas State Police, I emailed them asking what the deal was with my CHL. The reply I got was, "It looks like you will need to complete 2 more fingerprint cards. Please contact your instructor to get those cards and send them to me." First of all I thought whenever they needed additional information from you they sent their request via snail mail. When additional fingerprint cards are needed I thought they sent the cards with their request rather than me having to contact them first and providing my own fingerprint cards. My main question is for Arkansas CHL holders who have had to provide additional fingerprint cards. How long did it take to get your CHL after they recieved your cards. Please include how long you have had your CHL. All I'm getting from the ASP is open-ended answers with no clarification.

The day after my mother died, my aunt and I were in my mother's apartment (located in another state) and were startled by people entering the apartment. A lady from the rental office let in a neighbor to retrieve some luggage she had let my mother borrow. We had been at the apartment since early the previous day and there were no phone calls or knocks to the door prior to them entering. The neighbor that had herself let in to the apartment knew I would be coming to take care of things, but was unaware I was already at the apartment.

I have 3 children, and I do not vaccinate. I dont plan on it, unless further research is done to prove to me it doesnt cause *enter whole host of child-hood diseases* .

I recently read there is a bill in California about taking away a parents right to choose.

I wanna know what people would think it was ok for the government to FORCE parents into giving their children ANYTHING, let alone POISON. (And no, it is NOT mandatory already, people just think that, their are waivers you can sign, Ive signed lots :) ).

Shouldnt I have the right to protect my child the way I feel is best? What group is pushing for this?
