The Trinity Law School, as it is now known, was founded in 1980 as the Simon Greenleaf School of Law and was originally located in Anaheim, California. It was originally named in honor of the Nineteenth century Harvard law professor Simon Greenleaf who was a major authority on the laws of evidence and also wrote The Testimony of the Evangelists. which was a work of Christian apologetics concerning the evidences for the resurrection of Jesus Christ .

The Simon Greenleaf School of Law was the brain-child of John Warwick Montgomery. Montgomery rose to prominence in the 1960s as a confessional Lutheran theologian and as a Christian apologist. He held the chair of Professor of Church History at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois (1964–74). A founding board of trustees collaborated with Montgomery to establish in 1980 the Simon Greenleaf School of Law.

It commenced operations by offering evening classes in a four-year undergraduate cou ... Read more »

Abraham Lincoln University (School of Law)

Abraham Lincoln University School of Law offers a unique program for the study of law. This program is unlike any other in the United States. We combine traditional law school materials with time-tested teaching techniques to create a truly unique law program. I would like to share with you some highlights of our program and to explain how we differ from traditional law schools. I will explain the advantages that Abraham Lincoln Law School has over most traditional law schools.

Traditional law schools teach by the casebook/Socratic method. This means that students read books with edited cases that they must "brief" and then attend classes where students are called upon to recite their "briefs." A "brief" is a synopsis of a case that generally contains a recitation of the relevant facts, the issue before the court, the relevant rule of law, the analysis by the court and the court’s conclusion. The professor will then m ... Read more »

Child support refers to the sum that the noncustodial parent must pay to the custodian. This sum serves as a parental contribution for the child's basic living expenses, such as food, clothing, shelter, health care, and education. When a court orders a parent to pay child support, the parent must pay directly to the child's custodian rather than directly to the child. States generally do not impose an obligation to pay support for a child after that child has reached the age of 18.

An individual, however, only has a legal responsibility to support one's own biological children. Thus, a court cannot order an individual to pay child support for a stepchild, subject to the caveat that the individual did not formally adopt the stepchild. While the vast majority of states adhere to this rule, a few state statutes differ with regard to stepchild support. To determine the law in a particular jurisdiction, see state laws .

Trial courts determine the amount of the periodic in ... Read more »

Family Lawyers handle cases that involve the legal relationships among family members, including - parents, children, husbands, wives, and domestic partners. Family laws differ from state to state but generally they are broken down into the sub-categories below.

Adoption lawyers are those that specialize in the process that recognizes an adult as the parent of a child who is not their biological child. All adoptions must be approved through the court system. Married couples, single people, and gay or lesbian couples all have an equal right to adoption through adoption laws, though the costs of adoption can be prohibitive.

Child custody and visitation laws can frame contentious issues for divorced or separated couples. Legal and physical custody lawyers handle the two types of child custody. Physical custody laws describe a type of child custody that permits a parent to have a child live with him/her. Visitation rights are usually granted to a parent ... Read more »

Rental laws protect tenants from many types of landlord fraud. Unfortunately, there are some landlords who make more money scamming tenants than renting apartments. Knowing what to look for can help you avoid trouble and recover any money you lose.

1. Security Deposit

The bulk of the complaints from tenants in the area of landlord fraud comes from the landlord withholding some of all of the security deposit after the tenant moves out. Rental laws dedicate what the landlord can take out of the security deposit as reimbursement for cleaning, repairs and other expenses, as well as how soon to return all or some of the security deposit. However, some landlords never intend to return the security deposit and use the following ways to hold on to the money:

  • Excessive cleaning charges: They clean the apartment themselves and charge you for much or all of the deposit
  • Exaggerated claims of damage: For example, charging ... Read more »

In 1906, Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto created a mathematical formula to describe the unequal distribution of wealth in his country, observing that twenty percent of the people owned eighty percent of the wealth. In the late 1940s, Dr. Joseph M. Juran inaccurately attributed the 80/20 Rule to Pareto, calling it Pareto s Principle. While it may be misnamed, Pareto s Principle or Pareto s Law as it is sometimes called, can be a very effective tool to help you manage effectively.

After Pareto made his observation and created his formula, many others observed similar phenomena in their own areas of expertise. Quality Management pioneer, Dr. Joseph Juran, working in the US in the 1930s and 40s recognized a universal principle he called the vital few and trivial many and reduced it to writing. In an early work, a lack of precision on Juran s part made it appear that he was applying Pareto s observations about economics to a broader body of work. The name Pareto s Principle stu ...

Baroness Butler-Sloss, the former President of the Family Division of the High Court, is leading a drive to overhaul the current laws, which date back to Victorian times, completely replacing the notion of neglect with a new crime of child maltreatment .

For the first time, inflicting emotional and psychological harm on children would be treated as seriously as causing physical injuries or abandoning them.

It follows a string of cases in which the authorities have failed to step in early enough despite warning signs of neglect and abuse, including the Baby P case and the Edlington torture scandal.

Baroness Butler-Sloss, now a cross-bench peer, has helped draft an amendment to the Government s Crime and Courts Bill, which is currently being considered by a committee of MPs, to overhaul the neglect laws, with the support of the charity Acton for Children.

The current law on wilful neglect is governed by the Children and Young Persons Act 1933.

The HIPAA law is a combination of regulations aimed at reducing waste, fraud and abuse in the health care industry. It is intended to simplify the industry as a whole. HIPAA ensures continued insurance coverage for American workers and their families as they change jobs. It also enacts strict security standards for the protection of personal health information. Besides offering federally mandated protection for personal information, the law is expected to significantly lower the number of fraudulent practices in the health industry as well as to improve data storage systems.

The HIPAA law does more than prohibit pre-existing condition clauses. It also requires that insurance is offered to all employees (with the exception of very small businesses) regardless of health information. Insurance providers are also forbidden to charge higher premiums based on the health information of a company's employees. This way, health insurance coverage remains affordable even through life c ... Read more »

With a degree comes an increase in possibilities. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in , the median weekly income for high school graduates without a college degree was $651. In comparison, those with bachelor's degrees took home $1,108. Over a five-year span, bachelor's degree holders, on average, have the opportunity to earn $119,226 more than those with only a high school diploma. With careers commonly spanning decades, it's not hard to imagine the lifetime impact a degree has on one's income, and, in turn, general prosperity.

Many states have implemented child passenger safety laws, and they have made them a part of their primary enforcement law. That means police can stop drivers and write tickets for having improperly restrained children in the vehicle. But do these laws have an effect on drivers?

Booster seats are probably the least understood and least used child safety restraint. Many parents believe that boosters are an unnecessary expense, erroneously thinking that a seat belt will do just as well. Here we will look at one state that implemented a booster seat law, and its effect on children who live in that state.

The state of Wisconsin implemented their booster seat law in June of 2006. It states that children must be restrained in a booster seat if they are:

  • Between 4 and 8 years old
  • Between 40 and 79 pounds in weight
  • No taller than 4 9

The law was well-publicized and promoted through news conferences and safety seat checks thr ... Read more »

John Law (usually pronounced Jean Lass by contemporary French people) (baptised 21 April 1671 – died 21 March 1729) was a Scottish economist who believed that money was only a means of exchange that did not constitute wealth in itself and that national wealth depended on trade. He was responsible for the Mississippi Bubble and a chaotic economic collapse in France.

Paper Money endorsed by John Law, 1718

Law urged the establishment of a national bank to create and increase instruments of credit and the issue of banknotes backed by land, gold. or silver. The first manifestation of Law's system came when he had returned to his homeland and contributed to the debates leading to the Treaty of Union 1707 with a text entitled Money and Trade Consider'd with a Proposal for Supplying the Nation with Money (1705). After the Union of the Scottish and English parliaments, Law's legal situation obliged him to go into exile again.

The remainder of this article collectively refers to all of the laws above as harassment laws just to suit its purpose.

A harassing work bully can be anybody under the so-called harassment laws, including a boss. coworker, and even a non-employee (e.g. independent contractor or client). No one is immune from violating the laws.

Additionally, harassment laws allow anyone adversely affected by unwelcome, discriminatory conduct to file a discrimination charge against a harasser directly with the EEOC (or state equivalent) or through an attorney. even if he or she was not the intended victim.

However, before filing an EEOC charge against your employer under a harassment law, it's a good idea to try to stop the unwelcome conduct by following your employer's anti-harassment policies to the letter; otherwise, your employer might be able to use the so-called Faragher-Ellerth defense against you.

The profession of a lawyer is specialized into many categories. One such category is the criminal lawyer. The criminal lawyer deals only with criminal cases. There are separate laws and courts for criminals. Criminal law is a vast subject; hence, separate and specially educated lawyers are required to work in this field. To know in more detail, see the criminal lawyer job description given for your read.

There are two sides to this profession, either you can have your own private practice where you could represent criminals against the state, or you could become a public prosecutor and represent the state against criminals that are arrested.

The criminal lawyers study criminal law in detail. While taking education, they have to specialize in the subject of law. If they are representing the state against the criminal, they have to file all the necessary documents in the court on behalf of the state. They have to get sworn testimonials from all the witnesses and ask th ... Read more »

What sets Chicago apart from other law schools is our unabashed enthusiasm for the life of the mind - the conviction that ideas matter, that they are worth discussing, and that legal education should devote itself to learning for learning's sake, not just for earning's sake. Chicago students enjoy their classes and do not simply endure them. Eminent faculty teach first-year courses because, as committed teachers, they want to share ideas with students. We are passionate - even intense - about ideas. Our energy creates camaraderie that spills over from inside the classroom to outside the classroom, where we continue our conversations in the more relaxed atmospheres of the student lounge, restaurants, clubs, and sports stadiums.

Critical reasoning is a crucial part of the University of Chicago Law School experience - some would say it's our defining characteristic. Our faculty and students are deeply involved in the life of the mind, and delight in spending their days challeng ... Read more »

Technically, Federal labor laws deal with employer-union relationships and Federal employment laws deal with employer-employee relationships.

But the terms are often used interchangeably. This section includes research resources for both, even though it more often refers to Federal labor laws .

When researching whether or not your employer committed a wrongdoing under a Federal labor law, it's important to know that employment is at will in virtually all states.

It's also important to know that your employee rights are protected only under specific, corresponding state or Federal labor laws, regulations or constitutional provisions, or by sound morality or public policy .

For example, if your boss is a jerk who generally treats you poorly on the job, your bad boss is not necessarily violating a labor law, however unfair or unethical his or her behavior might be. That's because there is no bad-boss Federal labor law per se. Additionally, your ... Read more »

Equine or Horse Law covers all activities dealing with horses, horse welfare, equestrian sports, recreational use of horses, riders and rider safety.  Federal, state and local laws govern this area of practice.

Several states have enacted statutes to protect horsemen, camps, stables, and other horse providers.  These statutes are designed to protect providers from frivolous lawsuits arising out of horse accidents that could not have been avoided.  These statutes also protect riders from negligence on part of providers or stables.

The statutes usually provide that a person may not sue if the accident resulted from an inherent risk of equine activities. They also spell out what risks such as providing defective tack or failing appropriately to match horse with rider are not inherent and therefore fair game for a lawsuit.

In many states the equine provider must post notices or include notices in contracts, or both, to bring their operations under the statute s p ... Read more »
