Both the Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action are workplace policies that seek to reduce discrimination in business. The United States federal government instituted both programs in an effort to encourage diversity in corporate hiring and promotion. However, the programs differ in their goals, requirements and administration methods.

The Equal Employment Opportunity law requires that employers evaluate all job applicants fairly, without using their race, ethnicity, sex, age, religion or physical disability as a means for discrimination against them. Once a worker is hired, the Equal Employment Opportunity Act also mandates that employers extend job training and promotions equally to him, regardless of any physical differences or personal beliefs he may possess.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or EEOC, enforces the Equal Employment Opportunity in workplaces across the United States. This law applies to most companies that employ at least 15 ... Read more »

Law books are without a doubt one of the biggest expenses for students, and it doesn t help that textbook prices increased nearly threefold between 1986 and 2004 according to the Government Accounting Office (PDF). Sadly, selling them back for pennies is perhaps even more depressing than buying them in the first place.

The Internet has created a virtual playground for shoppers, and here are 28 places you can save money on law books -- and note that many buy back books as well:

1. AbeBooks.com. A subsidiary of Amazon.com with books discounted up to 90% off list price.
2. AddALL. Popular textbook search and comparison engine.
3. Alibris.com. Textbooks from 10,000 independent bookstores.
4. Amazon.com. Surely you know of Amazon s excellent book selection, but don t miss their Marketplace, which has some of the best prices anywhere on used books.

Time and time again, we ve warned prospective law students about the dangers of applying to law school without first arming themselves with the knowledge that a career in law might not be the golden ticket that it once was. And yet time and time again, those prospective law students have ignored all of the evidence that was presented to them on a silver platter, and continued on their merry way to law school.

These 0Ls don t care about whether they ll be employed; hell, they don t even care how many law schools are sued for their allegedly fraudulent employment statistics. All these sophisticated consumers really care about are the U.S. News law school rankings.

But what would happen if a law school were to inform applicants that they may never be employed at all. Perhaps a message like that would stem the tide of willfully ignorant prospective law students .

One student is trying to make commencement a little more bearable for her classmates by crowdsourcing her graduation speech.

Marta Belcher has asked fellow members of the Stanford Law School Class of 2015 to help her develop, write and even edit the speech she and several other students will deliver at a diploma ceremony on June 13.

“There is no reason that a graduation ceremony in 2015 should look the same as it did for the Class of 1915,” Belcher said in a statement. “Being at Stanford and in the Silicon Valley, we are surrounded by a spirit of innovation that encourages us to ask, ‘Why do we do it this way, and how can we do it better?’”

Using a class wiki, more than 85 students are working together to create the speech. The group began the third and final phase of the process at the end of April, with an edit-a-thon.

It s the first time students at t ... Read more »

Intellectual property law protects the creative works of authors, composers, designers, and inventors from being pirated. There are four basic categories of intellectual property: copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. Generally, each category is used with different types of material and affords different protections. Copyrights protect original works of authorship from the moment they are created and fixed in a tangible form. Patents protect new and useful machines, articles, substances, or processes through exclusive rights granted by the federal government to their inventors. Trademarks protect identifying marks that distinguish goods or services, such as names, logos, designs, emblems, and distinctive sounds and smells. Trade secrets protect confidential business information or "proprietary information," such as business plans, chemical formulas, and customer lists.
