Online Mapping Assists Megan's Law Notification

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department Web site shows the approximate location of offenders returned from a search.

Known as Megan's Law, H.R. 2137 amended the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act of 1994 which requires states to register individuals convicted of sex crimes against children.

How Law Firms Can Achieve Giant Breakthroughs With Just a Turn of the Head

Opening my own firm is one of the most rewarding professional experiences of my career. This year marked my fifth anniversary. While I learned a lot about how to run a law firm in my 11 years at a previous firm, I also learned how not to run a law firm.

The Right Tools

Having the right tools is the key to efficiency, productivity, and cost control. One critical decision I made five years ago was to choose the software platform that would run my business. I remember writing a list of needed functions like time and billing, accounting, and document management. I also made a “wish list” of what I thought were pie-in-the-sky, unrealistic features like centralized case management, calendar management, contacts management, and yes, a powerful feature that could organize, manage, and centralize the mas ...

#A Letter to My Future Daughters-in-Law: He Won - t Complete You - For Every Mom

This mom of three boys has a few really important things she wants her future daughters-in-law to know. This letter is a touching must-read.

Someone recently asked me what kind of men I hope my sons grow up to be. I think about this every day.

Even though I look at my sons and see my babies, I’m not raising babies. I am raising men. Men who some day will hopefully become fathers and husbands. Some of the most important roles in existence. It’s my job as their mother to raise them with the skills necessary to go out into the world and fulfill those roles well. Each and every day I am gifted with these boys, I am committed to that responsibility.

To my future daughters-in-law,

I have a few things I want to say to you. This can’t possibly cover it all, but luckily, we have some time.

I don’t know you yet, but already, I love yo ... Read more »
