This site is specifically about legal issues, and we're happy to discuss those that impact AI, which also has impacted this site. Some of the challenges include the terms of use which explicitly forbid the use of our content by machines, such as what LLMs are doing by having crawled this website...

The Salvage Asset Recovery Scam So of all the gin joints, you happen to come to the place where this lawyer actually teaches a blockchain technology course in a major university and has represented clients at major crypto exchanges who were victims of pig butchering scams? I've kept your post...

For the most part, the roads and sidewalks have been cleared. My guess is that the poster was able to clear the sidewalk before leaving for work because the snow subsided in the very early hours of the morning. There are supposed to be additional snow showers but the sky seems clear now. I'll...

Small claims is worth a shot. I've found that the results can be difficult to predict, even with clear cut cases. From my experience the arbitrators like to split the baby in half so going may not result in a total loss. That said, you'd need to have your witness in court to testify if you're...

So very sorry to hear this news about your husband. It must be heartbreaking. Discussion with an attorney is of paramount importance, as mentioned by others. You may want to discuss with your attorney the possibility of speaking to the DA, local politicians, and the press. This is a rather...

It's still coming down pretty hard. This was taken about 2 hours ago and drifts were easily nearing 5 to 7 inches. Now this is what we actually can call snow.

We haven't had large snow fall the past few years, often being one every 2-3 years. Now we're supposed to have 2 reasonably sized storms. The first was cleared pretty quickly although it did linger for much of a day. This is supposed to be much more intense, lasting from Sunday into Monday and...

This thread is getting salty! In the US Northeast we are known for our black snow, slush and ice!

A while ago I wrote a snow and ice removal law in New York City article for our law guide, although @adjusterjack provides current information directly from the NYC Sanitation on the subject, who is the regulator responsible for snow removal. The Department of Sanitation (NYC DoS) has a fleet of...

I would agree strongly with @Tax Counsel for all the reasons stated. Unless there is a reason not to go to an ABA accredited school, it's only to your benefit that you do. I would also recommend that you not be swayed by scholarships if the school isn't well recognized and received. Having a...

This is California's Lemon Law FAQ and here is another which doesn't appear to cover your scenario as it relates to the auto manufacturer's warranty. The Lemon Law – Consumer & Business In your case it seems that someone modified the vehicle and there may have been a material misrepresentation...

My resolution... OK, here's top of the list. Try to make even more special time for my parents and family is probably at the top. Always trying to improve in every way, especially being consistently attentive to the needs of others.

I received this email from "chinaregistry.org.cn" which is supposedly a domain registrar in China regarding domain name registration. I recall getting similar such trademark and domain name infringement emails over 25 years ago and thought they were a scam. I still receive postal mail from...

An Argentinian man was awarded $12,500 for invasion of privacy after being photographed naked (bare butt) in his back yard by the Google Maps truck for its Street View feature. While his face was not shown, the appeals court nonetheless determined that the man's privacy was improperly breached...

These are good points. In New York state, I've handled uncontested divorce - a term of art for "quick" divorce where both parties do not disagree (uncontested) on any part of the separation of their assets, children or other matters. Generally speaking and in summary, you need to have paperwork...

It is said that social media is the alcohol of the masses. I am asked countless times whether posts on social media which are made in a personal capacity from a personal account not associted with a company can be used as grounds for dismissal. It seems like she knows how infefensible her...

I just noticed that this is an old thread. If there are issues such as this one where consumers feel powerless to obtain help about a righteous matter, it may be time to turn to the news media, press and social media in the hope it might attract the wrong type of attention for the county and...

This is a good question even though there isn't a legal issue presented. I'm sympathetic to our young people who want or need to start their own lives earlier than planned, but this is often not a simple endeavor. As most have mentioned above, the key issue is risk mitigation - what is the...

The above are excellent "life tips" and I have to wonder about the age of those in issue. Your college and neighborhood buddies may truly mean no harm but it doesn't mean that they are free from being extremely careless and taking significant risks. Going forward, do not use blind faith. @Tax...

As was mentioned above, Chicago is like New York City in having extremely strict gun laws. Here in NYC it is recommended to call the NYC hotline which answers all types of questions, and they have a specific telephone number for guns. I'm assuming they have the same for Chicago...
