NORTH DARTMOUTH Applications and enrollment at the state s first public law school have surged since the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth acquired the struggling Southern New England School of Law, an early sign that the controversial merger is off to an auspicious start.

Following years of pitched political battles to block its formation, the new University of Massachusetts School of Law received 462 applicants for this fall s incoming class. That is more than twice the number who applied last year, when the school was a little-known private institution.

The size of the first-year class is also doubling to 155. And students credentials, as measured by undergraduate grade point averages and LSAT scores, have risen, a feat for a school that has yet to be accredited by the American Bar Association, say university administrators. More than half of those accepted have decided to enroll.

Students are voting their confidence in the fact that we can probably g ... Read more »

Harassment is governed by state laws, which vary by state, but is generally defined as a course of conduct which annoys, threatens, intimidates, alarms, or puts a person in fear of their safety. Harassment is unwanted, unwelcomed and uninvited behavior that demeans, threatens or offends the victim and results in a hostile environment for the victim. Harassing behavior may include, but is not limited to, epithets, derogatory comments or slurs and lewd propositions, assault, impeding or blocking movement, offensive touching or any physical interference with normal work or movement, and visual insults, such as derogatory posters or cartoons.

The following is an example of a state law dealing with harassment:

"S 240.25 Harassment in the first degree.

A person is guilty of harassment in the first degree when he or she intentionally and repeatedly harasses another person by following such person in or about a public place or places or by engaging in a course of con ... Read more »

Federal employment discrimination is a heavily regulated subject, and when hiring an employee, there are a host of rules and regulations that an employer can run afoul of. Many of these laws only apply to certain employers, and many of these laws have exceptions. Here is an overview of the regulatory framework regarding federal employment discrimination.

Although this list is not exhaustive, these are the most commonly litigated areas of employment discrimination law:

  • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin

The purpose of this information is informative, and does not represent an exhaustive list of tobacco-related state or federal laws and regulations.

House Bill 2674:

On April 22, , Governor Jan Brewer signed House Bill 2674 (“HB2674”), which will take effect on July 24, . HB2674 makes several changes to A.R.S. §§ 44-7101 (the “Escrow Statute”) and 44-7111 (the “Directory Statute”).

HB2674 Changes to the Escrow Statute:

HB2674 modified the definition of what constitutes “units sold” in Arizona. The new definition will classify as a unit sold “any cigarette that is sold to a consumer in [Arizona], regardless of whether state excise or tribal excise tax was owed or collected.” Pursuant to HB2674, the definition of “units sold” will still be found at subsection (2)(k) of the Escrow Statute, and will be redefined as follows:

Think very, very carefully before going to law school and perhaps ruining your life, permanently. The law schools have been flooding the market with a large oversupply of attorneys for decades. This has been a problem for a long time, not just in the current recession. The legal job market is horrible right now and it was only a little less awful earlier in the decade and in the 1990's. Consequently, the happy-talk about how the legal job market will improve significantly after the recession ends is bogus and intended to fool you. A huge amount of JDs, perhaps as much as 50%, never find work as attorneys, and many who do find work don't earn enough to make having gone to law school worthwhile. If you are looking for something to do with a liberal arts degree, find something else. Also, because of the huge oversupply of attorneys, working as a lawyer can be very miserable. Attorneys work very long hours under intense pressure in Machiavellian environments and many do not ea ... Read more »

by John A. Byrne Poets Quants Author on July 10,

If you’re intent on picking up your MBA in a single year, your options of attending one of the very best schools in the world narrow considerably. In the U.S. for example, only nine of the top business schools ranked by Poets Quants offer one-year options. In Europe, where the 12-month degree is more common, there are far more opportunities to get a quickie MBA at a prestige school, from INSEAD to IE Business School in Madrid, Spain.

The highest ranked U.S. school with a one-year program is Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, which started its program in 1964. The only other top 20 business schools with one-year options are Cornell University’s Johnson School and Emory University’s Goizueta.

Outside of the top 20 in the U.S. there are a number of very good one-year options at such prominent schools as Notre Dame s Mendoza College of Business, Babson College, and the University of Pittsburgh ... Read more »

Under the Socratic Method system of legal instruction. before each class, students are assigned cases to read and brief. This is followed by in-class presentations by the students. This is a crucial part of the learning process, students are questioned by the professor regarding the facts, rule of law, or the court’s reasoning in the case assigned for class.

The Socratic Method prepares students for the practice of law, it teaches law students how to analyze and make legal arguments, how to properly read and brief cases, and, lastly, how to prepare for the pressures of a legal practice. Although much of the practice of the law involves research and writing, all attorneys must discuss the law with other attorneys, judges, and their clients.

Democrats want sweeping immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship or amnesty to the current 11 million illegal immigrants currently breaking the law in the United States. Republicans want some form of immigration reform, according to Sen. Mike Lee. but do not want the sweeping immigration reform passed by the Senate last year. The Senate has passed a bill the House refused to take up since House Republicans wants a more "piecemeal" approach, especially on issues like border security. leading to an impasse. What will eventually transpire is anyone's guess, but the question remains, "What's wrong with the immigration laws that are currently in place?"

According to the Republican from Utah, "I think most members of [House Speaker John A. Boehner's] Republican conference would be willing and eager to pass some form of immigration reform, but it needs to be broken up, and it needs to be taken step-by-step, one step at a time."

Lawyers are people who practice law. In most countries, lawyers enter their profession through a period of specialized study. Lawyers are a frequent target of criticism, in part because they are often the face of an opposing party and are the proxy target for that anger, because they often the public face of unscrupulous parties such as persons being tried for crimes, because they employ a specialized jargon which makes it difficult for persons without a legal education to receive the benefits of the legal system without hiring a lawyer, and because they make up a disproportionate percentage of politicians.

  • It may be that the jury would incline to regard a practising lawyer as a man of probity whose word was prima facie worthy of belief. But the belief of lawyers in their own probity is not universally shared, and there are those who believe them to be capable of almost any chicanery or sharp practice.

With an acceptance rate of nearly 80%, admissions at Cooley are not intended to be selective - last year, 4,570 out of 5,775 received acceptance letters.

The full-time JD class of 's middle 50 th percentile LSAT scores ranged from 146-152, with a median of 148; Cooley's official policy is to accept only the applicant's highest LSAT score.

    If you’re considering a postgraduate-level degree in business, there are three main options available to you: MA, MSc or MBA. The core courses of any postgraduate business degree aim to introduce advanced-level topics in areas of business such as accounting, finance, marketing, human resources and operations management. Many programs then offer a wide range of elective courses, although some are specialized in one particular area of interest right from the start.

    Some of the key differences between an MBA and other Masters in Business programs are explained below:

    MBAs and other postgraduate business degrees have many similar entry requirements, including GMAT/GRE scores, academic achievements and evidence of language requirements.

    National Sunday law is a conspiracy theory which alleges that the United States government is on the verge of enacting a national blue law that would make Sunday a day of rest and worship. The theory is based on the idea that the Pope is the Antichrist and the Mark of the Beast is worshipped on Sunday. Sinister forces (read: the Vatican ) are conspiring to enact a national Sunday law in the United States, which would be the trigger that unleashes the fulfilment of the prophecies found in the Biblical books of Daniel and Revelation .

    Fears about a national Sunday law date almost to the founding of the SDA church. In The Great Controversy. Ellen G. White wrote: "and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance."

    Automobile lemon law – Quick Reference Guide

    For cars and trucks that qualify under a states lemon law, the manufacturer must offer to replace or repurchase the offending “lemon” car. The qualifications and restrictions regarding replacement cars will vary by state.

    Automobile manufacturers will print warranty books that contain “instructions” for consumers who think they may have a lemon car that qualifies under their states lemon law. Consumers must remember that these lemon law “instructions” or “steps to follow” are what the automobile manufacturer wants you to do, and is NOT necessarily the required steps or procedures for utilizing the lemon law process.

    The practice of law involves representing a client in a court of law or during legal negotiations, and providing legal counsel to clients. While lawyers may also draft documents and conduct research into case and statutory law, these tasks are often relegated to paralegals, or legal support staff. To practice as a lawyer, an individual must have earned a juris doctor (J.D.) degree, in most cases from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association, and pass a bar examination to become licensed in their state. While there is much interest in online degree programs in law, it is important to note that at present there are no fully online programs leading to the J.D. that are accredited by the ABA, according to the ABA website. Since most states require students to have graduated from an ABA-accredited program to sit for the bar exam, online law school programs are not currently a feasible path to becoming a lawyer for individuals in all states.

    Even so, it is possible ... Read more »

    Choosing an accredited MBA program can be the first step to enrolling in a world-class course. The decision to pursue an MBA degree is a huge commitment, requiring both time and money in the hope of increased earning potential and career progression upon completion. The journey begins with a deliberate and thorough search for the right school.

    Accreditation from a leading accreditation body provides an immediate short list. Because business schools participate in an extremely competitive market, each one competes for faculty, administration, researchers, corporate partnerships and of course students. The good, the bad and the ugly distinguish themselves by accreditation.

    Accreditation, especially international certification creates global exposure for an institution inevitably drawing in a higher level of talent. Business schools are among the most competitive in the world, bringing advancements in curriculum and res ... Read more »

    Some people believe that vehicle window tinting keeps the temperature inside a car cooler, while others just think window tinting makes a car look cooler. And in some cases, drivers or passengers may have a legally recognizable medical need to have tinted vehicle windows, even when the tint level would otherwise violate their state's vehicle code.

    Whatever your reason for wanting tinted windows on your car, truck, or other passenger vehicle, you should get familiar with laws that regulate vehicle window tinting, as well as exemptions under those laws. Here you will find basic information on window tinting laws, "medical necessity" exemptions, and more. (also see: State-Specific Information on Vehicle Window Tint Laws )

    Used a much older version of Abacus Law and it was straightforward and decent. But this was back in the Windows 95 and Windows 98 days. Appointment book looked like a real book, contacts looked like real rolodex cards, that sort of thing.

    Then, I switched the office to PCLaw which had more features and more in depth accounting we needed. Their tech support was good but the software was not perfect (tech support needed to repair corrupted data a few times, etc. ? not cool),

    Then, switched to custom software web-based on our own server. But, that is a headache too to add functions and fix things over time. We re lawyers not programmers!

    Now, PCLaw is part of the evil empire (Lexis Nexis) ? just a joke BTW ? so not sure how much it is now. I see they also have Juris too. PCLaw may be even better than before under Lexis Nexis s wings.

    Anyways, that is why I was interested in Houdini Esq ? advertised to have lots of great features despite goofy name, logo, ... Read more »

    The concerns of elders and the concerns of their caregivers typically coincide—quality of life, quality of care, wellbeing of the primary caregiver (ordinarily a spouse or family member), and wellbeing of loved ones, including pets.

    Elders often find it unavoidable to address these problems: (a) to maximize financing for expensive long-term care versus leaving an inheritance for loved ones; and (b) to wisely select fiduciaries to act on their behalf in case of physical or mental incapacity. Such problems present significant emotional, financial, and legal challenges.

    Massachusetts elder law draws on both federal and State law for its legal content. The Massachusetts Medicaid program has been renamed MassHealth. Other distinctive features include

    • the absence of legislation recognizing living wills substituting reliance upon health care proxies instead
    • a well-developed mental health law
    • a well-developed case law of trusts based on a t ... Read more »

    You should know that, under eviction law, your landlord cannot simply kick you out of your apartment or other space that you're renting, even if you are behind on rent. In almost all situations, a landlord must obtain a court judgment before evicting a tenant.

    In order to evict you from your rental lease, your landlord must first give you adequate notice, normally in writing, that must conform to certain formalities. At this point, you have a few options. First, you can act according to the eviction notice and move out. On the other hand, you can fix whatever defect your landlord has complained about (smoking, pets, late rentetc) and see if your landlord still wishes to go through with the tenant eviction procedures. Your last choice is to not do anything and continue to live in your apartment. If you choose this last option, your landlord will have to file a lawsuit against you, normally called an unlawful detainer suit, to keep the eviction procedure moving forward. To win ...

    These days, it’s really not easy to get into a law school.

    A recent survey reveals that the quality of law school applicants has increased a lot in the past few years, making the competition more fierce than ever before. Earning a law degree through attending an online law school is especially difficult, but it’s still possible.

    All states in America, except California, require students to get a law school degree accredited by the American Bar Association before they take the Bar exam. However, there is no online law school accredited by ABA. Therefore, only those living in California or willing to relocate have a chance of taking the Bar exam, which is essential for a practicing lawyer, with an online law degree.

    How to Choose an Online Law School

    Choosing the right online law school really makes sense for people whose career goal is to practice law as an attorney. It is risky to attend an unaccredited online school. Also, it might be a suffer ... Read more »

    What is Business Law?

    Business law deals with the creation of new businesses and the issues that arise as existing businesses interact with the public, other companies, and the government. This area of the law draws on a variety of legal disciplines, including tax law, intellectual property, real estate, sales, employment law, bankruptcy, and others. Business law attorneys specialize in transactional work, meaning they do not represent clients in court. In fact, business lawyers are often hired for the purpose of avoiding future litigation.

    To understand the role of business law within the legal system, it helps to view businesses as entities separate from their owners and employees. Just like individuals living together in society, business entities are subject to legal rules designed to give every participant in the marketplace a fair opportunity to succeed.

    An enforceable system of business laws also benefits the economy as a whole and provides for ... Read more »

    Good, but it should have been better

    You ever watch a movie that under normal circumstances you'd think was great and wonderful, but there is something about the movie that keeps you from fully enjoying it? It gets sort of stuck between being great and being good, so ends up in neither place, and you end up liking but not loving the movie. Ultimately the movie falls into abyss of almost , and you very quickly forget it altogether.

    Such is the curse of Laws of Attraction, a really good movie that's just sort of there. Half way into the movie I was wondering to myself why I wasn't connecting more with the movie since its funny, well acted, and very charming in all of the right ways. Somehow despite being able to see the quality I stopped caring what happened.

    Can I recommend this romantic comedy about lawyers in love? Yes, its sweet and light and everything a good romantic comedy should be except memorable.

    The Divorce Act of 1968 governs divorce in Canada. Unlike the United States where divorce laws differ from state to state, federal laws govern divorces in Canada. All provinces follow the same laws and regulations. The act was revised in 1986 to establish grounds for divorce and guidelines for child support and spousal support.

    Chapter 8

    (1) A court of competent jurisdiction may, on application by either or both spouses, grant a divorce to the spouse or spouses on the ground that there has been a breakdown of their marriage.

    Breakdown of marriage:

    (2) Breakdown of a marriage is established only if:

    (a) The spouses have lived separate and apart for at least one year immediately preceding the determination of the divorce proceeding and were living separate and apart at the commencement of the proceeding; or< ... Read more »
