Is the 'court-appointed-council' expected to 'play ball' with the prosecutor... or, make no waves... at the expense of and to the detriment of their entrusted clients? How does such a travisty of 'justice' continue generation after generation with no correction?

A co-worker has, on several occasions, used the 'n' word, made anti Semitic slurs, and other racist and sexist remarks. The remarks are never directed at me but it is still offensive and unprofessional. I have told him but he keeps doing it. Is the company liable for tolerating such behavior?

I was pulled over in NY for 'obstruction of rearview mirror.' I had the typical rosary of the Virgin Mary on my rearview mirror. This is a common item placed on many rearview mirrors belonging to Christians! Is this right? Is there anyone who can help me fight this?! The officer handed me 15 tickets and I did nothing wrong! I was polite and I did not show any attitude! I think cops who take advantage of their power do not deserve their position. I may be Christian but i definitly believe in karma!

California's at will policy seems to be a win win situation. But is it? Sure for the workers you can leave an establishment with out notice and your boss can let you go with out notice. Lets say that you were the hardest worker there and then the boss just decides to let you go with out notice . Now you have a family and bills to feed and pay and all the boss tells you is that it is all about the At Will policy. When asking what did you do wong they said nothing you are the hardest worker here. Confused you recive your last check and well you're on your way home to try and explain this one to your family, friends and your debtors. Now I can see that yes this policy is necisarry for those who are not responsible and /or reliable but what about those who are and loved there jobs? What if tomarrow you woke up to a call saying come to the office to get your last check?! You work hard and you know with out a shaddow of a doubt that you did nothing wrong would this policy be acceptable?

In order to get visitation rights to see your son?

The Judge ( a woman ) informed me if I even wanted to try and have visitation rights with my son I had to abstain from sex for a period of at least 18 months!

She said ( judge) my behavior ( MY AFFAIR) was directly attributed to my sons POST TRUMANTIC STRESS, in him witch because of his age (13, going to be 14, in NOVEMBER) he get violent witch is common among males all ages.

She said she could not order me to comply but could have me served with an ORDER OF RESTRAINT to protect my son from my robust sexuality.

I know I'm responsible for the problems in his life at this time but, to lose your son because you enjoy sex, unbelievable.
The Judge pointed out 8 cases supported by the Supreme Court so I have no appeals cause if action!
So once again would you give sex up for your CHILD?

What would your response be, my LAWYER says the ACLU wont touch this verdict.

I want my son in my life so celibacy it is for 18 months.

My husband and I have been seperated for 5yrs. We never owned a home,stock,bonds...nothing. But have a child together. We are amicable as far as visitation and child support.. We don't want to have to pay a lawyer for what we are already agreed upon. It has worked for us and our son for 5yrs..Is there a Stature Of Limitations on how long we are seperated to just have the marrage dissolved.....We live in Illinois. Cook County jurisdiction.
Any help would be great... Or does anyone know how to file your own divorce and if it's allowed in my county and state. Some counties here allow legal ON-LINE Divorces...not mine though.

I think so. I believe in safety and health first. How many LESS people would be killed per year in the USA if guns were illegal and difficult to obtain. The government could subdue and kill violent criminals safely. My Mom's boyfriend legally had a gun and he used it to commit suicide. How many more gun related deaths will there have to be before our government realizes that guns are designed and used to kill. Lethal weapons should not be available to citizens.

Do you own any? Do you like the current federal laws and the laws in your state? If you own any, are they rifles/shotguns for hunting or are they handguns for defense?

My brother is locked up and has been for 3 months now with felony burglary charges but they haven't indicted him yet. How long will it take before he will be indicted or is it lawful for him to sit in jail until they finally decide they don't have sufficient enough evidence to convict him. Also is there something we can do to speed the process along?

I'm looking for some good answers that would typically, in a classroom, lead into a discussion on the topic. Why did it increase crime and gangs? What would happen if the law was passed again today? How does the era relate to the selling of illegal drugs today?........i'm hoping these would lead into a discussion in my class, i'm just looking for some answers on here. Thanks for your input!

OKay My husband got a ticket a few months ago for 651.00
we got an extension from the court till september 13, 2007 to pay it off. I keep getting these collection agency letters saying i owe THEM not the court 951.00 and they want me to send the money cash through western union. does that sound weird???? To me thought a big company like that would be able to accept payments directly to them and not through western union. anyways i went to rip off report.com and i searched the name and i found a lot of complaints..What do you guys think?????

Party A backs out of a parking space as Party B rushes to get around party A knowing party A is backing up. Party B stops vehicle directly behind Party A, does not blow his horn but says with the window rolled up "Stop! Stop!" as if anyone could hear. No police or other officials were contacted and both parties left the scene exchanging only phone numbers. Who is legally liable for any damage incurred?

Come back and everything is fine but then someone tells the DA and judge that he was in another state and has proof with pictures with the dates and stuff. What can happen? Do you just revoke your bond or is that another charge?

The most liberal one that I ever heard of was Florida - anybody who commits a crime with a penalty higher than a ticket and/or a fine are most likely to be put in handcuffs and leg irons before being brought before the judge.

Listen to my question I posted: These downloads dont work for my sims 2 game. And now listen to his answer: Go out and buy the game. Dont download because it is illegal and you just got caught.I know your yahoo name. You will receive a letter for a court date soon. See you in court. Meaning he thought I illegally downloaded the game wich I did not. Also I am 13 so he is harming a minor please help me and clear this up! Can he figure out my info from my username? Do you really think I will recieve a letter in my mailbox for a court scentence? Can I just throw it away because I am a minor? I mean do you think he will find where I live ever? He probably lives in a random state and never find were I am. do you think he is just trying to scare me out of not doing anything illegal?

My friend invested all of her money in buying her parents a home in Nanjing, China. She has lived in the U.S. for 8 years and is now a citizen. The government razed her house in the middle of the night a couple of days ago. The reason was that the property value was high and they just took it. Are there any support groups for Chinese Americans that have gone through this? What course of action can she take?
