Finance is the study of raising, allocating and using monetary resources. Finance falls under business and economics and therefore it is said that to understand finance, one must understand business and in fact the entire economy.

#Used Vehicle Warranty Law

A Massachusetts Consumer Guide:

The Used Vehicle Warranty Law

The Used Vehicle Warranty Law protects consumers who buy used vehicles from a dealer or private party in Massachusetts. ( M.G.L. c. 90 7N 1/4 ) The law requires dealers to provide consumers with a written warranty against defects that impair the vehicle s use or safety, and requires private parties to disclose any known use or safety defects.

The Used Vehicle Warranty Law provides you with protections and remedies, including mandatory repairs, refunds, or repurchases. It does not cover all vehicles or all defects, and not all problems will qualify your vehicle for repurchase.

If you purchased a vehicle fewer than 14 days ago, the fastest way to get relief may be through the Lemon Aid Law .

Vehicles Covered:

#World s Best Business Schools

20world" /% Flickr/Florian Pilz

Is an MBA that costs two years of your life and $150,000 really worth it?

With increasing global competition and a tough job market, business school may hold the key to getting ahead — if you go to the right one.

For our fifth annual survey of the World's Best Business Schools, we asked thousands of professionals from around the world who have experience hiring MBAs to determine the best business school. They came back with a clear favorite: Harvard University.

Survey participants rated the reputation of the graduates from top business schools around the world on a scale of poor to excellent (1 to 5), with excellent ratings used as a tiebreaker. We included responses only from professionals who said they had experience hiring MBAs at least half the time, as well as other filters to optimize our survey pool.

#Using Benford s Law to avoid corporate chicanery: Business

2C265" /%

Investors wanting to dodge the next Enron, or just outperform the market, might want to pay particular attention to the first digits, and only the first digits, in numbers in company accounts.

Called Benford’s Law, after physicist Frank Benford who discovered it in 1938, it describes a well-observed fact: In naturally occurring sets of numbers of sufficient size the first digits are not evenly distributed. Lower numbers predominate: 1 is the first digit in a number almost 30 percent of the time while 9 begins less than 5 percent of numbers.

No one knows exactly why this happens, but in data sets from rainfall amounts to town population, the numbers follow a Benford’s Law distribution.

As the U.S. Internal Revenue Service uses Benford’s Law to sniff out tax cheats, or at least to narrow the field to better channel resources, why not do something similar with the data produced by com ... Read more »

When couples in Indiana decide their marriage is over, they will likely decide to turn to the court system to file for a divorce. There are several considerations that must be factored into the decision. The grounds for the divorce, the waiting period, property division, alimony, child custody, and child support must all be considered.

In Indiana, a person petitioning the court for a divorce can file for a fault divorce or a no-fault divorce. A fault divorce means that one person did something that ended the marriage. The grounds for a fault divorce include incurable insanity, impotence, or a felony conviction during the marriage. In the case of the incurable insanity cause, the condition must last at least two years.

If the marriage is simply over but nobody is at fault, the solution might be a no-fault divorce. This means that there isn t any need to produce evidence about a situation that broke the marriage. This is called an irretrievable breakdown of the marriag ... Read more »

#Петиция · Revise the NH Tint Law to be less strict. ·

New Hampshire is 1 of 4 states that ban tint on the front windows to the left and right of the driver (link , link ) while every other state allows it.

While the reasons for such ban are minimal, the benefits to the people seem to have been overlooked. The NH tint law was created in 1989 and was last modified in 1997. This law, surprisingly, even goes against the state motto of "Live Free or Die".

Such moderate tint laws affect thousands of drivers everyday. Benefits of allowing tint on the front windows include, but are not limited to:

• Adds additional crash safety from shattered glass. (link )
• Reduces the sun's glare, helping prevent accidents due to excess glare. (link )
• Reduces headlight glare and brightness, in the sideview mirrors, from drivers behind us. (link )
• Blocks 99.9% of UV radiation which is important to prevent melanoma cancer to the skin and the eyes, ... Read more »

An expansion of Bloomberg BNA's  Sexual Harassment in Employment Law—providing the most complete  coverage of harassment issues in the workplace

Workplace harassment has become one of the most litigious areas of employment law, with thousands of cases being brought against employers, resulting in millions of dollars in litigation costs and awards. Bloomberg BNA first addressed this explosive subject in its seminal treatise Sexual Harassment in Employment Law. Given the expansion of the theories of liability for harassment, however, and the evolution of employer and employee rights and obligations, litigators and employers need an updated  reference that addresses the entire spectrum of workplace harassment issues.

The new Workplace Harassment Law provides the comprehensive coverage that ... Read more »

#Utah Gun Laws

Talk to a Criminal Defense Lawyer

Utah protects the right to bear arms under Article I, Section 6 of the state constitution, but this does not mean that everyone may carry a gun, or that you may always carry a gun wherever you like. While you may openly carry a weapon without a permit, Utah requires a concealed carry permit to carry a weapon concealed on (or near) your body or vehicle unless you are in your own residence or on your own property. (Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-511).

For more information on concealed weapon permits, see Open and Concealed Gun Carry Laws in Utah .

The following sections explain who may not have a gun, as well as the circumstances when carrying a gun is illegal.

People Who May Not Carry a Gun in Utah

Utah lists persons restricted from carrying a firearm in two categories. Category I restricted persons are guilty of a second degree felony if they possess a firearm, whereas Category II restricted person ... Read more »

For the LBers who have been following the rising cost of law school tuition and debt, University of Massachusetts School of Law has proposed a bold solution: cap tuition for the next three years.

That means the new schools full-time in-state tuition will hold steady at $23,068 and its full time out-of-state tuition at $30,760.

The establishment of UMass Law is about mission, not money, said UMass President Robert Caret on the school website.

The move may also be borne out of necessity. A brutal legal job market has given way to a steep drop in law school applications. UMass, which opened its doors in after acquiring $23 million of assets from the Southern New England School of Law, could have a hard time filling seats if the market doesnt improve.

The American Bar Association gave the school provisional accreditation earlier this month. According to the February Massachusetts bar exam results, not a single first-time test-taker from UMass passed the b ... Read more »
