    Copyright Need help with copyright possibilities for a game idea

    What does this mean? Do you mean that characters in the game will be dancing, and you're considering copying choreography from real plays? "Copyright" and "trademark" are different things, and neither word is properly used as a verb. Trademark law protects words, pictures, etc. that indicate...

    Cashing a check as a guardian

    What happened when she went to the bank and asked this question? Listed where/on what? Is there a court order that appoints your GF as her mother's guardian? The answer to your question depends on how you answer my questions.

    What indicates a federal agent?

    The CFR is cited only about a half dozen times, all in reference to commercial driver licenses. In no case does it indicate "that authority is based" on the CFR. No, but why do you ask?

    Scammed by a close friend out of $10k+, possible to get any of the money back?

    Yeah...not even going to start to read that dissertation. I can, however, address some of your questions at the end. Anyone can claim bankruptcy. I have no idea whether the person in question might actually qualify for relief under the Bankruptcy Code or whether he might actually file a...

    Pretrial conference & discovery

    Is this a question? Assuming the case is in small claims court, the answer could have been obtained by googling, "florida small claims court pretrial conference." I don't know. What is the evidence, and on what basis would you propose to challenge it? Keep in mind that you've told us...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Can you sue a drug manufacturer in small claims

    That makes absolutely no sense. Whether the case is in small claims court or otherwise, proving liability in a case such as this will require expert testimony. How else could the plaintiff possibly prove causation? There's no such thing as a "going away award." My guess is that you're...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Can you sue a drug manufacturer in small claims

    Has a doctor told you that this particular drug was the cause of these things? Did the doctor who prescribed the drug review the potential side effects with you? Did you read any of the packaging that came with the drug? Mental health side effects, including suicidal thoughts or actions, have...

    faulty product

    I assume this means you filed a complaint in a court (i.e., you filed suit) and did not attach documentary evidence to the complaint. If that's correct, you certainly may file an amended complaint (whether it's necessary or desirable to do so is, of course, a different question). However, if...

    Adding a "Special Stipulation" to A Will?

    Please think twice about this. What happens of the two co-execs don't agree about something? As for your questions: 1. How? With words that clearly express your intent. Where? It doesn't matter. No need for a separate document. 2. No way for persons unfamiliar with the situation to...

    Executor Withholding and Misappropriating Funds

    So...that's pretty vague, but.... If you don't want this to be done, you (and whoever is of the same mind about this) should make your position known in a clear writing that is directed to the executor and the executor's attorney. The executor would be foolish to proceed contrary to the heirs'...

    Europe car accident

    I'm assuming you don't have more info than this, but what does "the filing" mean? I assume it refers to litigation, but maybe not. Define "often" and "move." As the first response noted, none of us know anything about the legal system in any of the nearly 50 sovereign nations in Europe...

    What NOT to put in Will

    I disagree. The only reason to do the $1.00 thing is to avoid an argument by the excluded heir that the testator forgot about him/her. That can be accomplished just as easily by mentioning the excluded heir and a statement along the lines of: "I am intentionally making no provision for any...

    Making a Lease Turned down from housing based on credit file

    It says no such thing. It says that, in connection with the sale or rental of housing or the extension of a mortgage loan, "It is illegal discrimination to take any of [several listed] actions because of race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability...

    Executor Withholding and Misappropriating Funds

    Your post raises lots of questions. When and in what county was probate commenced? What was the date on which the court appointed the executor to serve in that capacity? Is the executor represented by an attorney? Are you one of the beneficiaries? If not, what's your connection to the...

    What NOT to put in Will

    Ummm...the lyrics to "Stairway to Heaven" or "Highway to Hell"? Seriously, what's the point of this post?

    University's new administrator wants to take back my private lab space

    There is no way that anyone who hadn't read these documents can speak intelligently about their legal effect.

    City Ordinance - consumer responsible for under street Sewage

    The only recourse here will be to persuade the city council (or whomever makes the ordinances in the city) to change the law.

    Making a Lease Turned down from housing based on credit file

    No. You should only file a discrimination complaint if you have evidence of illegal discrimination. Being "denied [due] to [your] credit history" and being denied "due to [a] lack of credit history" are NOT the same thing. So...call and ask.
