If PERSON DEFAMED is the man........
-who publishes the bad imputation made upon him
-who drags the defamatory matter in notice of third person
-who communicate the defamatory matter to the public.
Now can the PERSON DEFAMED charge the MAKER of imputation for defamation ; when imputations were made during one to one personal chatting on some internet chat site in India?

now here in america if an 18 year old were to date a 13 year old then its illegal (Which ofcourse is a good thing to make it illegal) but thats 5 years apart, how is it that an 80 year old is allowed to date an 18 year old and thats not illegal, theres like 62 years difference...i honestly agree that 13 yr olds can not date 18 year olds, but why is it that if your 18 you can date someone as old as ur great grandparents, how is that not concidered being a pedophile...i mean i know when ur 18 your responsible for ur own actions but still..

I know a lawyer has the right to represent who he chooses. And the reason for that is that everyone, including quilty ones have the right to a fair trial. Where do I find that in writing in the ethics or guildlines anywhere?

I lost a trial and the defense lawyer filed a motion for attorney fees totalling over $100k. But at a hearing the defense withdrew the motion.

The problem is, the judge tried to reinstate the attorney fees because she's a total b*tch. So the defense may refile for the fees. But I've been told that time to refile has passed (60 days after verdict) so what are the chances the defense can refile and win the fees?

What recourse would I have if they refile and win? Wouldn't the judge be breaking the rule by allowing the defense to file after the 60 days period????????

i thought a law court is where one faced their acussers and and that wearing a hijab by juror, wittness or defendent would not be allowed. today a juror is found to be listerning to a mp3 player whilst at a murder trail (you've got to give it to these musslims as they grasp at western life with both hands whilst spouting cr*p) surely a court is no place for masks .or cover ups

Just saw this headline - "After 22 years, DNA frees man convicted of rape". What is done for exonerated criminals? I think he should be awarded millions of dollars and set up in a home and basically given back everything that was taken from him. What do you think?

I recently had a bad experience with a company. I'd like to create a website to tell my story and warn other consumers. I'm not going to make accusations or libelous statements, but I would like to lay out the facts and let the public decide. My question is this: if their domain name is xyzcorp.COM, will I run into legal difficulties if I register xyzcorp.US? Since I won't be selling a product, and I'll only be talking about the company, I believe I should be legally safe. Am I right or wrong?

I was riding the Katrina boat from Rainbo Harbor, Long Beach. My daughter 7 wanted to use the restroom, the restroom is small so she went ahead. All of sudden the lady who runs the boat calls the other guy they run towards the bathroom, soon as that happened I ran to the bathroom. My daughter is crying in great shock with the lady. I ask what happened, the lady says the door fell on top of her. The lady(who works there) says she found her in the bathroom crying, but they dont seem to say anything to me, just offering her candy or something to drink. My daughter keeps crying and I keep asking her what happened, there was a laday in the restroom with my daughter she had tooken her kids to the restroom during the same time, she comes out and says while my daughter was in the bathroom, the door fell on her. The other guy(who works there) overheard and says the door was already broken.
After the boat ride I went to the booth and they gave me the card, the girl there says it always happens. I called there office I believe the owner returned my call and said maybe my daughter crawled under and opened the broken door, because he doesnt see the door falling on her, he asked me what i would like as compensation (refereing to 0ther cruise tickets) . I dont know what to do because what if my daughter's arm is effected by this later in time (she did complain). I told the manager this he said to call him today Monday so we can sign some kind of paperwork? what do I do, I dont want to sue because it may cause me money and time plus I am recently going to court for a felony? is there anything else I can do?

I have known guys who worked hard and earned the money themselves yet in a divorce they are expected to give half of their money to their wives, pay alimony, and give half of their house or even all if their wife wins child custody. If American women have alot of equal rights like men (voting, running for office, attend college) should these divorce privileges cease to exist?

I am currently desperate for a job, but I am also desperate to move away from home. I am a graduate, applying to law school for next fall, so I prefer jobs with law firms with pay decent enough to afford an apartment and my student loan payments. I am unable to visit the law firms I am finding online, and I cant tell if they are real law firms, with real clients, or just fake websites and no clients. I want experience with a reputable law firm. How can I find an ABA law firm to work at? Is there a website that list all of the firms? Also, is Robert Half Legal a real company placing workers, or just internet fraud? I dont want to work for an 'ambulance chaser', or one of those fake comapnies on TV. I need a job soon, else my dad is going to make me take a job here, and I cant stand living at home anymore. Cannot network at home, nobody with law connections. No local law jobs, area too rural for a large law firm with jobs and connections to the area of law I want to practice (IP).
