    Copyright If Terms or Public Domain or CR/TM

    And those are all non-legal dictionaries. The point is that "copyright" has no meaning as a verb. Most of the time, people use it to refer to the registration process, but registering a copyright is not a prerequisite to creating a copyright. The simple fact is that there are no formalities...

    Suing UPS in Small Claims Court

    UPS does business in every county in the U.S. Since UPS's HQ are in Atlanta, the appropriate place to sue would be Fulton County. However, you should carefully read the terms of the "insurance" that you bought to ensure who the proper defendant is.

    Copyright If Terms or Public Domain or CR/TM

    This question doesn't make sense for a couple reasons. First, "copyright" isn't properly used as a verb. Second, names are not subject to copyright protection. Copyright law protects works of authorship, and a copyright exists from the moment a qualifying work is fixed in a tangible medium of...

    Homicide, Murder, Manslaughter Does a suspect have to answer the question: What did you do last night ?

    In the future, if you want to ask hypothetical question, please clearly identify them as such at the start of your post. Don't waste people's time. They can. However, arresting a person in his home generally requires a warrant. Do the hypothetical police have a hypothetical warrant? If so...

    Failure to provide progress report

    Made aware by whom? When you were made aware of the need to file the reports, why didn't you ask the person who made you aware about how and how often to file the reports? That's an excellent question for the lawyer who advised you about this (and who, arguably, ought to have been checking...

    Need help knowing if accepting this job would be a violation. E

    You got it right. It wouldn't be illegal to to take the contract, but it would be illegal to make hiring and staffing decisions based on gender.

    City utility charges

    How did you "just find out" that you have been paying these things for 16 years? Were you writing checks in your sleep? That's facetious, of course, but I hope you get my point. Come on.... You're certainly not getting 16 years of voluntary payments refunded. Your first priority should be...

    Buy Car from private owner

    Well...which is it? He "doesn't want to give" you the car back? Or he took the car to a junkyard"? If the latter, have you called the junkyard to discuss the matter? If so, what response did you get? If not, why not? Money? No. Private party car sales are on an "as is" basis unless the...

    Notice to Vacate differs from eviction suit

    Since you failed to raise the discrepancy at the time of trial or in any sort of pre-trial motion, then you may be barred from raising an issue for the first time on appeal. I'd suggest conferring with a local attorney...ASAP (since the time to appeal is typically very short).

    Pretrial conference & discovery

    The case might be resolved at, before or after the pretrial conference. It might be resolved at any time. I'm looking at a small claims packet for Clay County. Take a look at the "Mediation and Pre-trial Conference" section on page 6 of the PDF. Of course, I don't know if you're in Clay...

    DPOA & Beneficiary

    You likely can't. You certainly cannot force someone to cooperate with what is, on its face, self-dealing by a fiduciary. More generally, you cannot compel someone to do business with you on your terms. You'll either have to leave the money at its current location or seek an order from a...

    privilege to operate a motor vehicle

    I don't know. You've quoted something without identifying what you're quoting or providing any context whatsoever. If you want any sort of useful answer, you'll need to provide context.

    If asked for an ID during a traffic stop, what should I do?

    If your wallet is in your pocket and your ID is in your wallet, you don't have much of a choice. FWIW, I was told by a doctor many years ago that sitting on your wallet is not good for your back. Of course, if you keep your wallet in a front or jacket pocket, that's a different story. No...

    Speeding in the workzone Indiana

    Here's a link where you can read section 9-21-5-11 of the Indiana Statutes. Sub-section (c) simply defines the conditions under which a temporary worksite speed limit may be enforced. As you'll see, sub-section (d)(1) indicates that a violation is a Class B infraction and will carry a fine of...

    Stay at Home Mom - Alimony and Child Support

    I have no idea what "HelloDivorce" is. Is there a divorce (dissolution) case pending in the court? If so, when was it filed? Assuming your husband is the petitioner, have you filed a response? Is either of you represented by legal counsel? You meant "our three kids," right? They're his...

    Assault...Lawyer or No Lawyer

    The DA does not act as your lawyer. The DA represents the state. That being said, I agree that you don't need a lawyer. I do, however, think it would be a good idea if you have any inclination to file a civil lawsuit relating to the incident. Sounds like a crime victim's restitution program...

    Cashing a check as a guardian

    That makes no sense. She should walk in and say, "Hi. I'd like to deposit this check into the guardianship account I set up." What's difficult about that? If this is your way of telling us that she never set up a guardianship account, then she needs to walk in and say, "Hi. I need to set up...
