the forged checks that were wriitten and cashed in the amount of $5000.00? My nephew stole my Father, his Grandpa, checks from his check book and wrote the checks out to himself and his debtors and signed my Father's name on them. If my Father was to press charges against him, could we make the bank be responsible for that amount? My Father doesn't want him to go back to prison (he was in prison for some other charges, not fraud or stealing) and if he pressed charges against him he would. H e wiped out my Father's bank account. If the bank would give my Father back the money (or almost all of it) I think he would press charges. Please, I need your help on this ASAP.. Serious people only. Thank you.

doesn't defend the pedophile priests? Isn't it the same thing? Or is it that their hatred of the Church trumps their delight in defending child rapists? How can this be defended? Don't give me this crap about defending civil rights. I totally understand that. But when something is criminal, such as child pornography, this is not someone's "civil rights." It is criminal. Period. Children have for too long been mistreated and tossed about as sexual objects. These are children. How can the ACLU (Anti Children Liberal Union) advocate this?

This guy is so over the top dishonest. He only is physically in the office about 7 hours a day then goes for an hour lunch, yet consistently bills 8 hours a day. And the time he is at the office, he is online, on the phone, texting, etc... It is really irritating because it looks like he will receive a bonus related to his hours.
The billing partners are either oblivious to the true hours this person is in the office and working, or don't care because they make money off of this dishonesty. Ever hour this person bills is money in their pocket. I think they know what is going on.
Is there anything I should do about this? Who would you report something like this to? What kind of penalities would this person/the firm face?
Thanks

I understand that a high score on the LSAT can overcome average grade points and that there may be schools open to undergrads without a Bachelor's. The closer to Missouri the better.

I'm planning to paint a surrealist mural on my car to include a tasteful and extremely stylized nude female. Since it's mostly a black and white and she's almost difficult to see in the over arcing design I would not consider it in any way pornographic. Does anyone know if this would be legal to paint on my car?

If you are called to the stand to testify and you answer "No" to the question "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?" what happens? Is that a crime or can you just not testify?

I noticed that Posner went out of his way to note that the attacker in the Marisconish case was black, even though race was irrelevant to the case. Is he a bigot, in your opinion?

Ok i was hit by a guy who failed to yield and when he hit me my minivan flipped over and know my back is all screwed up and ive had some minor procedures because of the accident. My lawyer and i have been in agreement to take the case to trial and then i recieved a letter stating that the insurance company has made a final offer and in the letter from my lawyer it said that they reccommend i take the offer and settle the case? Why would my lawyer all of a sudden change his mind and say to take this offer and settle? The last time i spoke to him we were in agreement, i dont get it? What do think is going on?

"If psychologists need to be present to keep detainees from being killed, then the only way for us to protest is to leave those situations."
APA leaders voted down a substitute motion that would have limited psychologists to "ameliorative psychological treatment of detainees that are deprived of adequate protection of human rights".
"Without the amendment that would call on our colleagues to not participate in these inhumane situations, it's all just words," said Bernice Lott, a member of the APA council of representatives.
Many within the APA believe that psychologists must remain present to act as safety officers.
"I just came here from Cuba," said APA council representative Colonel Larry James. "If we remove psychologists from Guantanamo, innocent people are going to die."
Beth Wiggins of the APA law division agreed.
"Walking away from these situations would make us passive bystanders," she said.

Recently a girl overdosed on caffeine and had to be hospitalized (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/dietfitness.html?in_article_id=475021&in_page_id=1774&ICO=HEALTH&ICL=TOPART)
it is obvious that caffeine is a dangerous and harmful drug with a high potential of abuse and no known medical use. it should be outlawed just like pot. it is a danger to our us all and will eventually cause the downfall of society.

I'm writing this question to inquire if a law against psychological coercion would be helpful in stemming cases of domestic abuse, and other forms of sophisticated manipulation that exist in our society?

If you agree, what type of issues or language would you suggest be included in such a provision under a state or local statute?

I know this question has been asked before, but i am confused about the funeral arrangement. Is this part of a living will? As i understand a living will gives directives on what i want to do if i am in a need of medical care such as no resusitate or no tubes and so on. But does it apply to funeral arrangement like who i want to have to do it or where i want and so on. I want to have a living will made but uncertaint as what it covers. thanks.
