One of the crimes mentioned in the previous message, in more detail: http://news.yahoo.com/woman-charged-murder-death-vegas-girl-174126756.html "She doesn't meet the profile of someone who would kill a 10-year-old girl," the defense attorney said. "Liker alleged the DNA evidence against his...

NYC is becoming like a California grade-school? "California, for example, became the first state to ban the sale of soft drinks in grade schools, in 2003, and one city, Boston, moved earlier this year to forbid the sale and promotion of sugar-sweetened beverages and sodas on all city property."...

I guess the new generation mob is losing control over its turf, which could be bad for its business: - http://news.yahoo.com/las-vegas-seen-dangerous-even-crime-drops-145823799.html "... case of two law students charged with beheading an exotic bird at the Flamingo casino-hotel." That's what...

I'm not a law school student, and this is not any kind of homework assignment. You may quote me on that.

It is P2's attorney. P2 (handicapped by her eloquence in the English language, which is why she wanted an attorney) was not aware of these kind of charges, and was (mis)led to believe that the hourly billing rate was $400/hr, not $2000/hr. As I see more details emerge, it is becoming apparent...

A $2000/hr billing rate? Seriously..

Please don't feel obligated to reply. Often, in cases like the above, it is the attorney(s) who escalate an otherwise straightforward matter that neither party would have done, if left to their own means (e.g. Pro Per). These attorneys have a vested interest in escalating these matters for...

What parameters do attorneys use to determine when they will take a case on a contingency basis? I notice automobile accidents, medical malpractice, ... are often taken on contingency.

In a Family Court situation, can a Petitioner P1 request that the opposing counsel (not the Respondent) be put on the stand to make that statement under oath, or be made to withdraw that statement? Or would a judge not allow that kind of thing?

My experience with corporate stock options is that they are worthless most of the time; it is all speculation. And in small, privately held companies, the higher-ups can really mess with the value of your stock: Issue more stock to dilute your stock value, Issue different classes of stock, where...

But some attorney out there might want to string him along, milk him out of some $$$ to go through the motion(s) in court, and eventually lose the case. Because the attorney will still get paid, regardless. With the accused's picture all over the media, he'll have an extremely difficult time...

Why? Even fast food places around here have free WiFi. Last year, I saw many people with laptops in a special area of the jury lounge dedicated to people who wanted a "special" place to do their work. That special place is not available in the other courthouse I am normally assigned to...

Do they rotate substitute jurors for a particular (lengthy) trial? e.g. Can you imagine being a substitute/standby juror on that (lengthy) OJ Simpson trial? At least the real jurors got to see some action in court to keep them occupied. Jury lounges can be pretty boring places, but some have...

Normally, when summoned for jury duty in California, you had to go to the courthouse and wait almost an entire day before you were selected/dismissed. Sometimes, you get selected but not put on an active jury, and then you have to hang around there longer to see if they actually need you as a...

Granted companies can terminate any employee for any reason (employment is "at-will" ?)... I'm thinking he might counter with "his actions on that flight did not affect his work" kinda argument. That's why I asked if he could have been fired for hitting his wife, or kicking his dog.

I hope the kid is OK. We will see what kind of charges are going to be filed against him next: "An Idaho man accused of uttering a racial slur and slapping a crying 19-month-old boy on a Delta Air Lines flight is now out of a job." -...

Just a stark reminder of how powerless we are against these things. This wasn't very big (for a meteor) too: about 50 feet across, 10,000 tons? Must have been travelling at some incredible speed to have caused that much damage.

Attorneys often have "Law", "AtLaw", "attorney", "Atty", etc. as part of their e-mail names, so they are not too hard for hackers to spot. And there are companies that actually sell lawyer mailing lists, that include their e-mail addresses. And many attorneys do send/receive financial docs via...

Many attorneys appear to request financial documents (tax returns, pay statements, bank and retirement account statements, etc) via e-mail. They use hotmail, gmail, yahoo, aol, etc email accounts to receive these documents. If anyone should hack into their (attorney) email account, the...
