I think whether the ADA would apply in this instance would turn on just how severe that sunburn was. Some sunburns are very painful, damaging to the skin, and require some significant medical care. If I were that manager, I also wouldn't want to go down that road of arguing over whether the...

Just the other day I said on these boards Biden would stay in for the long haul. He seemed determined to see it through. Clearly I got that one wrong. In the primary era party conventions have generally been snoozefests. No real drama, just a big party celebrating their nominee. This Democratic...

There are things may do. Reporting the fraud to the various law enforcement agencies that army judge linked is pretty easy to do and costs you nothing. That probably won't get you your money back, but it might help land the criminals in prison. You may try suing the operators of the scam in...

You don't have to be guilty of a crime to be lawfully arrested. If you resist an officers lawful effort to arrest you, you may be convicted of that offense even though you were acquitted of the charge that was the basis for the arrest. In Georgia, a felony resisting arrest crime is one in which...

The basic rule in the U.S. is that you are free to use any name you like so long as the purpose for doing so isn't to aid in committing a crime, evade law enforcement, skip out on your financial obligations, etc. As a result of this basic rule, there are a lot of people, particular those in the...

The time that you spend researching the laws, etc, on your own legal doesn't entitle you to any money under the law. I'm an attorney and if I represent myself in a legal proceeding I don't get any money for my time either. Attorneys fees, when awarded by a court are compensation to a party in a...

Ethical standards vary from one organization to the next, and from one individual to another. It's up to the company leadership to establish the ethical standards that will be applied. If the situation you described is unethical, I don't see the ethics problem occurring because they are married...

The exact details of your respective properties may matter. As a general rule, though, it is not illegal to photograph anything that you can see from a place you have the right to be, other than photos of things for which privacy is generally expected (e.g. taking a photo of the neighbor getting...

Could be a lot of reasons, but it doesn't matter what the reason was as it doesn't affect your options. The Rules of Civil Procedure in New Mexico (and pretty much every other state) require that the service of the summons and complaint for a lawsuit must be made on the defendant, or, for a...

I don't see that as a problem. Of course Trumps most fervent supporters believe something quite different — they believe everything Trump tells them is true, everything anyone says about Trump that's negative must be a lie in an attempt to undermine Trump, and for some, they seem to believe...

I don't see JD Vance at this point as one who could win a general election, and he is risking a lot being Trump's running mate. Should Trump win and his presidency be as chaotic or more than his first term, that likely won't give much of a boost to Vance beyond the MAGA diehards who would vote...

I agree with that 100%. Differences in views are not a bad thing if the exchange of views is done, as you say, civilly. It can be a very good thing if people aren't so rigid in their thinking that they aren't open to change or new ideas when presented with something they hadn't considered...

Technically LP doesn't make the charging decision, so LP can't drop the charges. It can tell the prosecutor that it's satisfied with the restitution and doesn't want you prosecuted, but ultimately it's the prosecutor's decision. Is it possible that LP will agree to ask the prosecutor to drop it...

Yeah, well, good luck with that if he pursues it. I don't see that as having a high rate of success. I'll reserve judgment on Trumps guilt or until the court cases have played out. Even if judged not guilty, however, doesn't mean that what Trump did was legal or right. Judge Cannon's decision...

You may file the motion, but it's not likely to be granted because you aren't the right party to file those motions. Your daughter and your wife would be the ones that would need to bring motions to dismiss, assuming that there is some basis for the dismissal.

The problem is that terms and conditions of the trust and the state law that applies to that trust (which might not be the state in which the trust creator lives) impact how much freedom the trustee has to distribute the assets while the trust is in effect. The nature of the assets in the trust...

I get that idea from having actually done it myself. Sure, a lot of places will stick firm on the price, but some will give a bit if you ask. I bought a computer a number of years ago from a chain store and thought the price was too high, so I offered the store a price a few hundred bucks lower...

You can negotiate with some humans. Others stand firm on their pricing no matter what. Some online seller sites do have ways where the buyer may make an offer, though most don't. Most retail stores set prices and don't give their employees the power to negotiate prices, but some do. In some...

There is a good reason for that. Google and Apple both charge up to 30% of the sale price for sales made through apps on their platform. That cost is then passed on to the customer. It's the same principle of airlines charging a bit more for flights booked through a travel agent in which the...

The article is about how large companies set their prices. Some will negotiate, and some won't. Pricing models which charge different prices based on the differences in demand among different customers (what I call micro pricing) have been around for a long time. What's different today is that...
