#Robert s Rules for Amending Bylaws

No matter how good a job you've done creating your bylaws, sooner or later you'll need to change something. Robert's Rules encourages creating bylaws that can't be too easily amended, but amending them isn't so difficult that you can't consider and make changes within a reasonable time when necessary.

Setting the conditions for amending your bylaws

In amending a previously adopted bylaw, make sure that the rights of all members continue to be protected. The surest way to provide this protection is to prevent bylaws from being changed without first giving every member an opportunity to weigh in on a change. And bylaws should never be changed as long as a minority greater than one-third disagrees with the proposal.

Always specify in your bylaws the exact requirements for their amendment. According to Robert's Rules, you should, at the very least, require a two-thirds vote and previous notice to make any change at al ... Read more »

#Roman law

Roman law , the law of ancient Rome from the time of the founding of the city in 753 bce until the fall of the Western Empire in the 5th century ce. It remained in use in the Eastern, or Byzantine, Empire until 1453. As a legal system, Roman law has affected the development of law in most of Western civilization as well as in parts of the East. It forms the basis for the law codes of most countries of continental Europe (see civil law ) and derivative systems elsewhere.

The term Roman law today often refers to more than the laws of Roman society. The legal institutions evolved by the Romans had influence on the laws of other peoples in times long after the disappearance of the Roman Empire and in countries that were never subject to Roman rule. To take the most striking example, in a large part of Germany. until the adoption of a common code for the whole empire in 1900, the Roman law was in force as “subsidiary law”; that is, it was applie ...

#Removing Late Payments From Your Credit Report

Late Payments can have a detrimental effect on your credit score.

Share this page on LinkedIn

Share this page on Pinterest

One recent late payment on a single account can lower a score by 15 to 40 points, and missing one payment cycle for all accounts in the same month can cause a score to tank by 150 points or more.

A single 90 day late payment also factors heavily in your credit score and is about as damaging as a collection account, judgment, tax lien, and even a bankruptcy.

Consecutive late payments are even more harmful to your score, as each subsequent late payment is weighted more heavily.

Let the industry leader help!

Whether you have a single 90 day late payment or a series of lesser late payments, if they are being incorrectly reported on your credit reports, you can dispute them with the credit reporting agencies and the lender who reported it.

#Rules of the Internet

About

Rules of the Internet is a list of protocols and conventions, originally written to serve as a guide for those who identified themselves with the Internet group Anonymous. The list serves as a summation of popular catchphrases and axioms commonly associated with 4chan. Since there are numerous drafts and editions in circulation, the rules fluctuate in number and the validity of each rule remains debatable. Despite this, several of the rules including Rule 34 and Rule 63 are agreed upon across internet communities.

Origin

The idea of making a set of rules, similar to Netiquette [5] for 4chan users, was initially talked about on Anonymous-related IRC channels before an entry was submitted to Encyclopedia Dramatica sometime in late 2006 and archived [6] on January 10th, 2007. The entry was highly debated on its discussion page [7] as well as the site’s forums. At the time of the archival, there were 18 rules in ... Read more »

#Smart Ways to Leverage Law School Forums - US News

Asking school representatives about a school's median LSAT score will not make an applicant memorable.

Stephen Brown, the assistant dean of enrollment at the Fordham University School of Law, knows the angst that comes with meeting a law school representative. He has been to possibly 60 recruitment forums, answering questions from nervous applicants and noticing those who make the peculiar choice of wearing beach attire for the professional event.

He believes the Law School Admission Council recruitment forums are an easy way for prospective students to get ahead in the admissions process.

A real advantage is they get to talk to lots of different people from different schools, he says. Aspiring J.D. candidates can ask questions that are not covered by school websites.

#Shoplifting laws

"Shoplifting" generally refers to the theft of merchandise from a store or place of business. Shoplifting is a type of larceny. which simply means taking the property of someone else without their permission, and with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of the property taken.

Though states may punish shoplifting under their general larceny or theft statutes, many states have enacted statutes to specifically address shoplifting. States may refer to the crime by different names, including "retail theft" and "concealment of merchandise."

These state laws vary widely, but generally, shoplifting offenses includes two elements:

1. willfully concealing or taking possession of items being offered for sale; and

2. the intent to deprive the items' rightful owner (typically the store) of possession of the items, without paying the purchase price.

National Service Dogs is committed to helping service dog users achieve greater independence and equality. Service and guide dog use has been on a steady incline over the last 25 years and society, for the most part, has embraced the work of service providers and service dog teams across Canada. Despite increases in public education and increases in the number of dogs with jobs, accessibility for many service/guide dog users can still be a challenge.

Accessibility laws across Canada differ from province to province, and in many cases are antiquated, poorly defined, and do not take into account the various needs of individuals with disabilities being supported by service dogs.

Window tint is measured in terms of visible light transmission, or VLT. VLT represents the percentage of light allowed to pass through the tinted window; the lower the VLT, the darker the window. Window tint, whether offered as a spray-on coating or an adhesive film, is sold with a VLT rating that falls into one of several categories: dark (20 VLT), medium (35 VLT) and light (50 VLT). Some brands of window tint are also available with a "limo" rating (5 VLT), which may be intended only for use on specialty applications and not passenger vehicles.

In regulating VLT under law, most states specify a minimum VLT for the front side windows, another for the rear side windows and another VLT for the vehicle's rear window. Windshields are usually required to be left at factory specifications that may actually include a mild tint or partial shading to reduce glare.

#Sharia Law in America - Current Status

Sharia Law Advancing in America

Sharia Law in America

Sharia law in the United States of America ( America ) has reached Spread of Islam Phase 3.

As the number of court cases that involve conflicts between civil law and Sharia law rise in America, majority of American states have introduced bills banning courts from accommodating Sharia law.

But those bills have been stalled by well-financed challenges in court by Muslim groups that also campaign against politicians who sponsor and/or support such bills. Oklahoma s law banning Sharia law from courts has been struck down, and only seven other conservative states (Louisiana, Arizona, North Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Kansas and Alabama) have been able to pass Sharia law-limiting legislation, and only after watering them to not even mention the word, Sharia.

#Specific State Laws Against Bullying

Every state has passed some sort of law or policy regarding bullying. Montana is the only state that has passed a statewide policy discussing bullying without having enacted a statute specifically prohibiting it. All other states have at least passed a law defining bullying and authorizing school officials or other authorities to take appropriate action to stop it. There is currently no federal law specifically addressing bullying, but other federal laws, such as civil rights and nondiscrimination laws, may require schools to intervene with certain types of bullying.

Although anti-bullying laws vary from state to state. they generally focus on listing the specific behaviors that constitute bullying. These behaviors can include teasing, threats, intimidation, stalking, harassment, physical violence, theft, and public humiliation. States may also identify certain characteristics or traits of students who are often targeted for bullying, a ... Read more »

#Should law students buy new or used textbooks for their law school classes?

I advise a law student not to buy any textbooks, if 1) he or she wants to save money, 2) his or her studying philosophy and ways of thinking about law school subjects are similar to mine, 3) the law school library is sufficiently stocked and managed well enough, and 4) his or her view on the role of the law school in providing legal education is similar to mine.

I will elaborate my reasons below, but it must be understood that I was trained in a common law legal system and educated in a particular Asian law school with a curriculum and pedagogical method modeled largely upon the English style of legal education. I do not know if my advice will be relevant or applicable in a different context, like in a US or UK law school.

Bingham's definition of that much-used term is now entirely authoritative and will probably remain so for the next 120 years or more.
