Law & Ethics - October 2007

At least four local real estate agents have not returned my call for help with a contract to rent my home, or "are too busy." Fine I'll remember that when I need an attorney for closing and title insurance after I sell. In the meantime, can I write my own rental agreement? I know there are forms; I am concerned about the wording for things outside the standard lease...

Attachment? Exhibit? Thanks in advance for any assistance...

How much would lawyer charge for such cases.

Thanks for reading,

I only ask because the cash intake for my up-coming re-election bid has been rather lacking.

So, as a Water Board seat holder I feel they should contribute to the benififs others will recieve from my sterling leadership.

While it is true they will not recieve any direct benefit due to the fact that I would never live in the area they live in, I would think that they would feel proud to have me serve in the wealthy area in which I reside.

So...last Saturday, I got food poisoning, I was hugging the toilet all night...and I had to go to work at 9:30 a.m. Obvoiusly I called work at about 8a.m and told them I was sick. They made me come in anyways. I work at a very popular restaurant in Hollywood, worked for about 5 hours, had costumers complain because they could tell I was sick...a total show.
My manager got mad at me after I told him that I was leaving. I threw up at work 4 times and I was DONE!
Is it actually legal to make someone come in even though they called sick? I tried to look info online but can't find anything.
I would love to get answers quick since my boss wants to have a talk with me today...about sunday...anyways, thank you so much!!

Hello, so I was in a journalism class and we had to come up with an original product to market. We decided on a cell phone that would have a feature never before thought of in relation to cell phones. We were so inspired by it that we then thought the cell phone companies might come up with some type of variance of this feature. The Question: How does one go about copyrighting a cell phone feature? If one can that is. I went onto copyright.gov and found nothing in relation to improvements on product, only literary and visual works. I am uncertain because it is simply an improvement on a product already being used. Any answers that can help point me in the right direction are appreciated. Thanks!

I have tried for a year to gain satisfaction from a large corporation.

In small claims court the judge ruled that the company I filed suit against had to provide the service I requested.

BUT......It took me a year of phone calls, certified letters, time, trouble, plus a day off work and the filing fee for court.

Why should I be out even one penny and the corporation jerked me around for a year didn't even have to pay for my filing fee?

How does the public hold them accountable? How is it that they can jerk paying customers around for a year? What should a citizen do to hold them accountable?

It makes me ill to think that companies can take your money and then treat paying customers poorly and get away with it.

Suggestions?

THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL:

Even though the society around you likes to condemn this particular type of people and the fact that you are helping one of these people will make you look bad, and could possibly get accused of being a traitor and torn to bits by the media?

I think most people will say "yes" even though they would act diffrenty...

Tell me if this sounds fishy to you, i gave my two weeks and my last day was to be the 11th of october. Yesturday we had a big mandatory meeting with the HR lawyer, the usual stuff, harassment and so forth but they wouldnt let me in. They said it was cuz i was leaving in a week, then he did one on one meetings and they wouldnt tell him i wanted to talk to him. So finally he agrees to talk to me and i had questions about getting compensated for work i did 6 months prior, but never heard back from my managers about. So he says that he will pay me up to the 11th but i cant work there, i have to stay home. I said what if i dont want to do that, and he says i have no choice. Is this true? Did i not have a choice but to leave? Ive never met this HR guy before and i believe the reason they told me to leave was because they are not running the place legally and they think i know too much. dont know what else it could be since ive never even been close to being written up never been in trouble?

What exactly did he do wrong legally? Im so confused. He hit on a cop in the bathroom...why would that be illegal? Can't there be gay men in Idaho...or is it illegal to try to pick up someone in the bathroom. Does that just apply to bathrooms or is it everywhere? IM REALLY CONFUSED

That's like running through a red light in front of a cop and then backing up and stopping after he has been caught.

My father had heart failure 18 months ago and has been deemed unfit to do his job which was a truck driver. He did not pass the DOT physical and applied for disabilty and social security. He is 58 y/o. He is having a very hard time with the process. They told him at the SS office that he was able to have gainful employement and did not qaulify. He has no medical insurance and is paying for his medication out of pocket. $300.00 month. How can we get him some additional help. I don't really understand what the problem is with him receiving these benefits, at his age, and condition he can't get a job that he has performed all his life. What do they expect him to do?

Scenario:

You find that everytime you put your food in the communal fridge, someone steals it. So you poison it. Person steals it and eats the poisoned food. They die. Somebody finds out it was your food.

Are you liable? Aren't you free to do whatever you want to to your OWN food?
