Our currency was once backed by gold ,and our currency
was once backed by silver .Our currency is low in value
compared to the yen .The Federal Reserve is not a
Federal agency ,and it is controlled by the wealthiest
families in the country .If the Federal Reserve prints
more currency ,our currency decreases in value .If the
Federal Reserve decides to print 2 or 3 times the amount
of currency in circulation ,we will be in economic trouble .

I cannot afford a lawyer, and legal aid does not "do" civil law or personal injury cases/law suites. I am a Canadian.
I was served the law suite 3 days ago and have 17 days to prepare a defence (according to the law suite guidelines).
In Short: I was in a car accident Jan.2006. It is debatable to whom was at fault. My opinion is we were both at fault. We both were taken to the hospital. She "t-boned" me. Anyway, the police investigated, took a report. At the accident site she acted hysterical and the officer said he didn't understand why she was overreacting so much. He also told me that she was in a car accident just 3 weeks prior. Now she is trying to blame me for her injuries, when it is very possible that this could've started in her previous crash. Both her cars were write-offs. My insurance lapsed.
This is a very brief version of what took place.
Besides handing in my letter of "intent to defend". What do I need and how do I go about it, in order to defend myself?

I was rear ended a few months ago by a young girl who was leaving work. I was stoped at a stop light when she hit me. I had a friend of mine with me who witnessed the whole thing. She did stop, and produced all of her information, and begged me not to call the cops (she had a dwi, and was afraid she would lose her occupational license), and i took pity and didn't (because the damage wasn't severe). She also asked that I give her the opportunity to pay it out of pocket. Long story short, after I gave her the estimate, she stopped returning my phone calls. I went ahead and filed on her insurance, who has denied my claim. They say my friend is not viable due to him being a friend and a passenger, and she claims it never happened. They cannot look at her car, they told me she was in another accident a month ago and her car has already been fixed. Now I am at a impasse, and not sure what to do...

They sell legal highs online, herbal products, things like that. And with them I would sell bongs pipes and stuff like that. Virginia has some pretty strict laws though, I wanted to know if it was legal or not. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Sure, they may not have been committed in the NAME of atheism but, this is truth nonetheless and it does not diminish the significance of this truth.

Facts:
-Live in Illinois, got a 0.080% DUI in June in Phoenix
-Had a prior Illinois DUI in 1996
-Just completed an unrelated 4 month suspension for 4 speeding tickets. (by the way, this dui did not occur during the suspension time)
-The Arizona DUI was reduced to Reckless Driving.

Someone told me that if (big if apparently) the Arizona dui is reported thru the interstate reciprocal agreement to Illinois, I will be Revoked in Illinois. Is this true or not? I am hoping this person mistakenly forgot that my Arizona charge is no longer a DUI, and was officially reduced to Reckless Driving.

Does anyone here know if a prior DUI + a reckless driving 11 years later equals revocation? (Or even if the reckless + the 4 speeding tickets equals revocation?)

I can handle a suspension, and getting a restricted permit, but Im worried about the Revocation advise I got.

USWA In Indiana. Our contract states that all absences will be excused with doctors note or receipt for auto repairs and so forth.

My union is telling me that I can be arbitrarily labeled as "Unemployable" and fired, even with medically excused absences. They also tell me that this law is in the U.S. Constitution. (okay?)

Funny thing, my employer has never stated this when I am presenting them with a doctors excuse after being absent. Its only coming from the union.

When I ask the Union for documentation on the matter, they clearly get upset, and then fail to produce any.

So, does anyone know if there is any truth to this "Unemployable" status?

If so, what criteria must be met, to be labeled as such.


Thanks,MetalTeK.

"If we execute murderers and there is in fact no deterrent effect, we have killed a bunch of murderers. If we fail to execute murderers, and doing so would in fact have deterred other murders, we have allowed the killing of a bunch of innocent victims. I would much rather risk the former. This, to me, is not a tough call."

I found this in a local newspaper. I didn't know this kind of thing ever happened. Am I missing something or is deportation, even prosecution for being illegal, not so common? This isn't very detailed. Can anyone point me to more information about what this is all about?

OMAHA - United States Attorney Joe W. Stecher announced the federal Grand Jury for the District of Nebraska returned an unsealed indictments charging Ernesto Nava-Irra, 28, of Lexington, with illegal reentry into the United States on or before Oct. 2, after deportation or removal. The maximum possible penalty if convicted, includes imprisonment of ten years, a $250,000 fine, three years of supervised release and a $100 special assessment.
Indictments are documents containing mere accusations. Every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

I heard the age of consent here in Texas is 17. Does it have to do with protection from statutory rape charges? I know someone who is 17 & is dating a guy in his 20's. Would he be protected from statutory rape charges since the girl is 17, going on 18?

The main arguements are 1) It is not just becuase people will not get their due because they will be getting a lesser sentence for a crime they may have or may not have commited.
and
2) It is just becuase without it, US courts can not give a trial to everyone and the system will be so backed up that nothing will ever get done. People have a right to a quick and speedy trial and it is justice to allow people to have their freedom of choice for a full out trial or not.

While we were on vacation in the San Francisco area, my friend thought it would be really cool to see Skywalker Ranch, so we drove all the way up there in the late afternoon, but it was already closed when we got there.

Since we had already driven so far out of the way, we at least wanted to bring back a picture of the site. We had just parked the car to take a picture of the gate when a security guard challenged us over the loudspeaker about trespassing. We apologized and immediately drove away.

We didn't think much about if until we got home and our family told us that there was a license plate on the front of the car and that California has some very tough laws regarding trespassing. Is there any way possible that the security guard could have obtained a picture of the license plate on our rental car and forwarded it to the police, and if so, will they prosecute us or ban us from coming back to California again?

My husband who is 54 and on permanent disability from a failing heart has recently been notified that his disability checks are to be garnished. He makes a mere $851.00 per month and they are taking just under 11% at an even $100.00! This made us just sick. With all the changes, adjustments and health scares weve both endured, now this!
The child is now 33 years old. It is not as if my husband missed paying child support on a regular basis, quite the contrary-I was there to see him pay monthly, missing very little. WHat was originally ordered by the court from birth to age 18 would have amounted to 22,000. He has payed on this child for thirty years AT LEAST and the state still sends him statements with figures that frequently change but are always over 30,000! How does this stuff happen! I know we need to consult an attorney.

How does it differ between Subject Matter Jurisdiction and JOPOT (maybe I would understand this easier once I clearly understood the definition of venue) I am pretty set with the definition of SMJ and JOPOT.
