    1. What is the law of supply?

Law of Supply

2. Law of Supply

It states that at higher prices, producers are willing to offer more products for sale than at lower prices.

It states that the supply increases as prices increase and decreases as prices decrease.

It states that those already in business will try to increase productions as a way of increasing profits.

3. What’s difference between Law of Supply from the Law of Demand?

4. Like the law of demand, the law of supply demonstrates the quantities that will be sold at a certain price. But unlike the law of demand, the supply relationship shows an upward slope. This means that the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied. Producers supply more at a higher price because selling a higher quantity at a higher price increases revenue.

5. Time and Supply

Unlike the demand relationship, however, the supply relationship is a factor of time. Time is important to supply ... Read more »

Consular officers are required to report to the Department of State documentarily qualified applicants for numerically limited visas; U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security reports applicants for adjustment of status. Allocations were made, to the extent possible, in chronological order of reported priority dates, for demand received by July 10th.

According to Newton s first law, an object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. It is the natural tendency of objects to keep on doing what they re doing. All objects resist changes in their state of motion. In the absence of an unbalanced force, an object in motion will maintain its state of motion. This is often called the law of inertia .

The law of inertia is most commonly experienced when riding in cars and trucks. In fact, the tendency of moving objects to continue in motion is a common cause of a variety of transportation injuries - of both small and large magnitudes. Consider for instance the unfortunate collision of a car with a wall. Upon contact with the wall, an unbalanced force acts upon the car to abruptly decelerate it to rest. Any passengers in the car will also be decelerated to rest if they are strapped to the car by seat belts. Being strapped tightly to the car, the p ... Read more »

Daianna Karaian, an alumna of the Kellogg School of Management, reveals how much of her MBA she still finds useful a year after graduation

THESE days, questioning the value of a business degree is one of the few growth industries. The Economist itself indulges in the practice from time to time. Is two years out of the job market and tens of thousands of dollars in tuition a wise investment? A year ago, as a newly-minted—and unemployed—MBA, I was sceptical.

With a background in sustainability and marketing gained from non-profits, government and small business, I went to business school to discover unexplored territory: the MBA would be my bridge into big business. I regularly pulled all-nighters poring over finance and accounting textbooks, poking into the darkest corners of Excel, and solemnly applying Little s Law to eliminate hypothetical bottlenecks in imaginary factories. Within six months I felt I ... Read more »

When he was 15, Shlomo Zippel got his first job programming. And that was pretty much the end of his academic career.

"I had an arrangement with the principal — as long as I showed up for tests and did well in them, he wouldn't tell my parents that I wasn't at school," recalls Zippel. "Instead of getting on the school bus every morning I got on a normal bus that took me to the office I worked at." Zippel, who lived in Israel at the time, was developing software used by all major banks in the country plus Reuters Israel.

At 17, the hourly rate Zippel was making for coding was higher than his parents'. "My dad is a surgeon," Zippel says. "This might say more about how little doctors are paid in Israel though."

United States immigration refers to the process of non-U.S. citizens moving to the United States. Throughout history, immigration has been a difficult process. Initially, this was because of the physical difficulties of getting across the ocean to come to America, but also because of racial prejudices that made it difficult for people from certain countries to become citizens. Today, though the process for citizenship is long, the United States accepts more immigrants as permanent residents than any other country.

After transferring their visa, a person can become a permanent resident and be eligible for a Green Card. A Green Card is proof of permanent resident status. Being issued one means that a person has the right to live and work in the United States. Also, people who are permanent residents are able to apply for full citizenship after a certain period of time. Aside from transferring visas, people can be eligible for permanent resident status through work or through m ... Read more »

#Welcome to Brian Leiter s Law School Rankings

Welcome

Faculty, students, and parents are, quite reasonably, interested in comparative information on the quality of different law schools. This site compiles such information about many (but, unfortunately, not all) U.S. law schools, along dimensions like faculty quality and job placement. Five or six new studies are posted each year, and are listed under Newest Rankings. Prior studies, some going back a decade, are listed under each of the subject-area categories. Each study begins with an explicit statement of the measure being utilized, often with caveats that should affect the interpretation of the results. No attempt is made to aggregate different measures, since no weighting of different elements could be justified in a principle way. Students are invited to consider measures important to them and to utilize those in selecting schools to which to apply and, ultimately, in deciding which among the schools to which you ...

Federal law is the whole of the laws passed by the federal government of a country. The federal government is the government that runs the entirety of the country, rather than governments at a smaller level such as state, province, or city. Federal law is typically established in one or more documents that clearly indicate the laws that govern the whole of the country, and may be created and upheld by one or more departments within the federal government. In the United States (US) for example, federal law is created by Congress, upheld by the president, and interpreted and enforced by the Supreme Court.

The US federal law consists of the US constitution, US treaties, federal common law. and federal statutes and regulations. This makes up the body of law for the whole of the US and all citizens within the nation are considered equally protected and governed by these laws.

for example, some criteria that are used to compile the rankings are:

  • salaries on graduation or salary increases of graduates
  • gmat scores

#Wrongful Termination: Was Your Firing Illegal?

If you've been fired from your job, do you have grounds to challenge the termination?

If you've been fired from your job, how do you know if the termination was legal or illegal (called "wrongful termination")? Most employment is "at will," which means an employee may be fired at any time and for any reason or for no reason at all (as long as the reason is not illegal). But there are some important exceptions to the at-will rule -- and legal remedies -- that may help you keep your job or sue your former employer for wrongful termination.

Written Promises

If you have a written contract or other statement that promises you job security, you have a strong argument that you are not an at-will employee. For example, you may have an employment contract stating that you can only be fired with good cause or for reasons stated in the contract. Or, you may have an offer letter or other written document that makes pro ... Read more »

#Wrongful Termination Lawyers, Wrongful Termination Legal Help.

FREE CASE EVALUATION

Understanding Wrongful Termination

To answer the question, "What is Wrongful Termination?" (and to determine whether someone may have been wrongfully terminated), it helps to understand what the phrase "employment at-will" means.

All states have adopted the employment "at-will" doctrine to some degree, which means that employees can generally quit their jobs at any time without advanced notice or cause. It also means that an employer can generally fire or lay off their employees at any time without a reason. Employers often, and legitimately, ask employees to sign contracts or agreements that document and enforce the terms of at will employment, usually in company policy manuals.

There are exceptions to this doctrine. Employees and employers aren't allowed to breach employment contracts or agreements, or violate laws, regulations, constitutional pro ... Read more »

#Juvenile Curfew Laws - The Basics

Juvenile curfew laws are local ordinances that prohibit people of a certain age (usually under 18) from being in public or in a business establishment during certain hours (such as between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.).

Juvenile curfew laws are almost always enacted at the local level, by city or county government. The legislative intent behind juvenile curfew laws is usually social order goals like prevention of crimes involving juveniles, and maintenance of the general peace.

Juvenile Curfew Laws and Exempted Activities

Almost all juvenile curfew laws identify exempted activities or exceptions under which juveniles may lawfully be out after curfew. These exceptions will vary by jurisdiction, but typically include:

  • Minors accompanied by a parent or guardian
