There has been a lot of negative talk about law school lately, but the facts belie the hype. The legal profession has low unemployment rates, lawyers earn high salaries and loans are manageable.

By Aaron N. Taylor

It’s open season on legal education — falling applications, lawsuits by former students and dooms day warnings about the legal job market. The rampant bad publicity has taken on a sensational flair. Popular blogs and even established news forums are peppered with anecdotes about law school graduates drowning in debt with no good options for the future.

But as is often the case with anecdotes, these compelling tales of woe represent exceptions. Worse yet, criticisms of the wisdom of attending law school are often based on flawed premises and faulty logic. You’ve likely heard many reasons why you shouldn’t go to law school. I’m going to give you a few reasons why you should.

Law firms are organized in a variety of ways, depending on the jurisdiction in which the firm practices. Common arrangements include:

• Sole proprietorship. in which the attorney is the law firm and is responsible for all profit, loss and liability;
• General partnership. in which all of the attorneys in the firm equally share ownership and liability;
• Professional corporations. which issue stock to the attorneys in a fashion similar to that of a business corporation;
• Limited liability company. in which the attorney-owners are called "members" but are not directly liable to third party creditors of the law firm;
• Professional association. which operates similarly to a professional corporation or a limited liability company;
• Limited liability partnership (LLP), in which the attorney-owners are partners with one another, but no partner is liable to any creditor of the law firm nor is any partner liable for any neglige ... Read more »

Stark Law Compliance and Defense

Stark Law/ The Prohibition Against “Physician Self-Referral,” 42 U.S.C.§ 1395nn.

Stark Law is based upon AMA Code of Medical Ethics Opinion 8.0321, which prohibits a doctor from referring patients to an outside provider, where the doctor owns an interest in the provider, without full disclosure of the conflict. Stark Law is based on this concept with several differences, (1) the definition of “ownership” has been expanded to mean “any financial relationship,” (2) the rule only applies to Designated Health Services (DHS’s), (3) the rule applies to physicians and close family members, (4) there is no provision for compliance by full disclosure to the patient.

Stark Law dates to 1989, when Congressman Pete Stark sponsored a special rule prohibiting certain Medicare referrals, which only applied to physicians. and only to certain specific items of expense termed, “Designated Health Services ,” or DHS’s. ... Read more »

Question: What traffic laws apply to bicyclists?

Answer: When ridden on any roadway a bicycle rider has all of the rights and responsibilities of any vehicle (RCW 46.61.755). Unless bicycles are specifically excepted, all traffic laws and rules apply to bicycles. Bicyclists who violate traffic laws are subject to a citation.

Question: Should bicyclists ride with the flow of traffic or facing traffic?

Answer: Bicyclists should always ride with the flow of traffic (RCW 46.61.100). The law requires this. Riding with the flow of traffic greatly increases safety by making bicycles visible and predictable to other drivers. Riding against traffic is a leading cause of bicycle accidents.

Question: What position in the lane should a bicyclist use?

Answer:

1) Bicyclists traveling at the speed of traffic may use the middle of the lane.

2) A bicyclist traveling at a speed less than the normal flow ... Read more »

Guidance When Getting A Lawyer You Need

www.burrlawoffice.com/waukesha-bankruptcy-tips-advice/ .

An excellent trick in the event that if you are looking to cause an attorney is really to be sure to thoroughly inquire whether or not a certain lawyer will be an excellent fit. It's usually a good idea examine them to each other and to go over a few different attorneys at a moment.

Choose one when you actually desire an attorney who specializes in a certain discipline. They may not know enough to truly manage your situation in a manner leading to a favorable result while you may possess a lawyer who you trust unconditionally. Ask for who they might advocate instead, that attorney.

Make certain your attorney and you are on the same page when it comes to arranging meetings. Keep in touch. Without speaking for some time to them plenty of solicitors perform for customers. It is possible to prevent plenty of problems by agreeing on a schedule imm ... Read more »

Workers' compensation refers to a system of laws outlining specific benefits to which injured employees are entitled. and the procedures for obtaining such benefits. Every state has its own workers' compensation laws, which are contained in statutes, and vary somewhat from state to state. In addition, there are special workers' compensation laws for employees of the federal government, and still others for workers in specific types of industries such as railroad employees.

Under the law in most states, every business must have some form of workers' compensation insurance to cover injured employees. Filing a workers' compensation claim is similar to filing an insurance claim; it isn't a lawsuit against an employer, but rather a request for benefits.

The Purpose and Effect of Workers' Compensation Laws

Workers' compensation laws are designed to ensure that employees who are injured on the job receive fixed monetary awards, without having to litigate the ... Read more »

The 1947 Taft-Hartley amendments to the National Labor Relations Act (1935) sanctioned a state s right to pass laws that prohibit unions from requiring a worker to pay dues, even when the worker is covered by a union-negotiated collective bargaining agreement. Within a couple of years of the ammendment s passage, 12 states passed these so-called right-to-work (RTW) laws, as did many other states in the intervening years.1 Although there has been an extensive amount of research on the effect of right-to-work laws on union density, organizing efforts, and industrial development (see Moore (1998) and Moore and Newman (1985) for literature overviews), there has been surprisingly little examination of the perhaps more important issue of right-to-work laws effect on wages.

The limited amount of research that does examine the effect of right-to-work laws on wages can be divided into two areas: RTW laws effects on union wage premiums or the average effects of these ... Read more »

(Redirected to Physical law article)

For a list of set rules, see Laws of science .

A physical law or scientific law is a scientific generalization based on empirical observations of physical behavior (i.e. the law of nature [ 1 ] ). Laws of nature are observable. Scientific laws are empirical, describing the observable laws. Empirical laws are typically conclusions based on repeated scientific experiments and simple observations, over many years, and which have become accepted universally within the scientific community. The production of a summary description of our environment in the form of such laws is a fundamental aim of science. These terms are not used the same way by all authors. Some philosophers e.g. Norman Swartz uses "physical law" to mean what other means by "natural law"/"law of nature". [ 2 ]

Several general properties of physical laws have been identified (see Davies (1992) and Feynman (1965 ... Read more »

In physics. gravitation or gravity is the tendency of objects with mass to accelerate toward each other, or, in other words, two masses attract each other. Gravitation is one of the four fundamental interactions in nature, the other three being the electromagnetic force. the weak nuclear force. and the strong nuclear force. Gravitation is the weakest of these interactions, but acts over great distances and is always attractive. In classical mechanics. gravitation is given by Newton 's gravitational force, which is an inverse-square law. In general relativity. gravitation arises out of spacetime being curved by the presence of mass, and is not a force. In quantum gravity theories, either the graviton is the postulated carrier of the gravitational force [1]. or time-space itself is envisioned as discrete in nature, or both.

The acceleration due to gravity of a body in the vicinity of the earth is approximately 9.8 m s 2 .
