Marketing folks wear many hats. Marketing divisions oversee advertising, market research, media planning, public relations, product pricing, distribution, customer support, sales strategy, and community involvement. Over the last 10 years, the industry has witnessed radical changes, including the influx of social media and a new wave of ways to connect with potential and current consumers.

"Companies make the mistake of thinking that marketing is just 'one' thing, but marketing is everything that the consumer encounters when it comes to your business, from advertising, to what they hear, to the customer service that they receive, to the follow-up care that you provide," writes Laura Lake on the Marketing site she maintains for About.com. "It's all marketing and creating the decision within the consumer whether or not to choose you initially or for repeat business."

Successful marketers keep track of those interactions with clients, stay one step ahead of trends, and ... Read more »

Administrative law (or regulatory law ) is the body of law that arises from the activities of administrative agencies of government which is distinguished from private law which originates from the activities of private individuals, corporations, and non-governmental entities. Government agency action can include rulemaking, adjudication, or the enforcement of a specific regulatory agenda. Administrative law is considered a branch of public law. As a body of law, administrative law deals with the decision-making of administrative units of government (including tribunals, boards, and commissions) that are part of a national regulatory scheme in such areas as international trade, manufacturing, the environment, taxation, broadcasting. immigration, and transport .

In administrative law, rulemaking refers to the process that executive agencies use to create, or promulgate, regulations. In general, legislatures first set broad policy mandates by passin ... Read more »

“You gotta do well and prepare for Law School or else you will be stuck in IRAC!”

John Kerry on His law school experience

Law school is one of the breeding grounds for the common lawyer. the single most hated parasite in human history.

A typical law library search engine. Vrooom!

Law School is a magical kingdom in the sky. Many view it as a reward for going to an elite liberal arts college. and getting a 'degree'. However this fails to account for the immense import of the fabled Legal Stupidity Aptitude Test (LSAT).

This magical sky kingdom is renowned for its randomly graded tests, and the Socratic Method which is both a sex position, and a gift to over achievers (it is also the reason why Socrates drank the Hemlock). As a law student you will need a top of the line laptop. complete with designer bag and Italian notebook sock.

Many consider the greatest reward is the chance to play with the legal ferret. though experts are div ... Read more »

A patent grants the patent holder the exclusive right to exclude others from making, using, importing, and selling the patented innovation for a limited period of time. The U.S. Patent Act, 35 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq .. was enacted by Congress under its Constitutional grant of authority to secure for limited times to inventors the exclusive right to their discoveries. See Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 .

Granting exclusive rights to the inventor is intended to encourage the investment of time and resources into the development of new and useful discoveries. In exchange for this limited monopoly, immediate disclosure of the patented information to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) is required. Once the term of protection has ended, the patented innovation enters the public domain.

The five primary requirements for patentability are: (1) patentable subject matter, (2) utility, (3) novelty, (4) nonobviousness, and (5) enablement.

#Assessing the Impact of - Three Strikes - Laws on Crime Rates and Prison Populations in California and Washington - Student Pulse

Abstract

The efficacy of three strikes laws has been a topic of contention among researchers since the first such piece of legislation was implemented in the United States nearly two decades ago. With the benefit of hindsight, it is possible to trend their impact through longitudinal analysis. This paper assesses the impact of three strikes legislation in California and Washington; two states which have implemented uniquely divergent forms of mandatory sentencing. It addresses the effect of three strikes law on crime trends and prison populations therein. Results indicated that mandatory sentencing was associated with declines in some areas of crime. However, the decline observed nationally was not proportional to the scope of variations in three strikes laws and the impact on correction institutions has been minimal. This popular legislative ...

California and Federal Employment labor laws secure an employee's civil rights to overtime pay and benefits while protecting against workplace harassment and discrimination. California law states that hours worked beyond eight hours per day qualify for overtime pay of one-and-one-half times the regular hourly wage.

California has unique state overtime pay laws that protect employees from working extensive hours. With differences between state labor law and federal regulations on overtime pay, employers (especially multi-state corporations) often may, either accidentally or intentionally, incorrectly classify employees to avoid paying overtime wages and therefore violate California labor laws.

Minimum Wage

As of July 1, , the minimum wage in the state of California is increased to $9 p ... Read more »

#Attorney for Germanwings victims says compensation too low

Attorney for Germanwings victims says compensation too low Associated Press Saturday, July 18, 2015

BERLIN (AP) — A German attorney representing some 30 families of victims of the March Germanwings plane crash says his clients are rejecting the airline's initial compensation offer as far too low.

In an email, lawyer Elmar Giemulla said Saturday he had written Lufthansa, Germanwings' parent company, to say their offer of 25,000 euros ($27,200) compensation for each victim covered by German law and payments of 10,000 euros ($10,830) each to victims' immediate relatives must be significantly raised.

He's asking Lufthansa for a lower six-figure sum in each category and for the airline to broaden how it defines immediate relative.

#At a glance: Supreme Court decision on Arizona s immigration law

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled largely in favor of the federal government in a case involving Arizona's immigration law (SB1070), striking down most of its key provisions. However, it upheld the most controversial provision involving police checks on people's immigration status while enforcing other laws.

A 5-3 ruling

The majority included Justice Anthony Kennedy, Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Steven Breyer, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

The minority included Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito.

"Arizona may have understandable frustrations with the problems caused by illegal immigration while that process continues, but the state may not pursue policies that undermined federal law," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion.

"The national government has significant power to regulate immi ... Read more »

#Attorney legal definition of attorney

Attorney

A person admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction and authorized to perform criminal and civil legal functions on behalf of clients. These functions include providing legal counsel, drafting legal documents, and representing clients before courts, administrative agencies, and other tribunals.

Unless a contrary meaning is plainly indicated this term is synonymous with attorney at law, lawyer, or counselor at law.

In order to become an attorney, a person must obtain a Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school, although this requirement may vary in some states. Attendance at law school usually entails three years of full-time study, or four years of study in evening classes, where available. A bachelor's degree is generally a prerequisite to admission to law school.

With few exceptions, a person must pass the bar examination of that state in order to be admitted to practice l ... Read more »

Physicists will tell you that the laws of physics aim to describe the world around us so that mathematicians and other physicists can understand what is going on. Physicists, for better or worse, tend not to talk in terms of hosts of golden daffodils fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Instead they use shorthand phrases like, "force is equivalent to the product of mass and acceleration .” Or more likely, perhaps, "F equal M-A.”

Describing the world of physical laws

So when a physicist says the laws of physics describe the world around us, it's true, but only up to a point. The description afforded by these laws is extremely limited. The laws of physics describe a bare minimalist world, devoid of irrelevant detail and populated with a panoply of simplifying assumptions.

The laws of physics do not cover love or life. The laws of physics steadfastly avoid truth, beauty and charm. ... Read more »

Below are links to a variety of sample national domestic violence laws. Some of these resources are regional or global surveys of national laws. Others are examples of laws that have been enacted in particular jurisdictions. While national laws may serve as useful models or resources, none should be transplanted into a different legal context without substantial consideration and adaptation. The principles of ensuring victim safety and batterer accountability must guide the drafting process of any new law.

Prior to drafting, it is important to address the issues of whether there is a need for a domestic violence law and whether introduction of such a law is appropriate at that particular time. The answers to these questions will depend on an evaluation of the ways in which battered women s needs are or are not being addressed in the current legal system, the contribution that can be made by a domestic violence law to deterring batterers behavior, and the current political si ...

#Australian MBA Fees & Costs 2015

The Australia MBA programs on offer come with a wide variety of fees.

There are many reasons for this including the most basic one that what is being offered is not the same in each case.

It is therefore important to consider what is being offered for the fee rather than just the fee itself.

This list shows the latest fees for 2015. The fees for 2016 Australian MBA programs will differ from those currently displayed.

#Bankruptcy laws

Bankruptcy law provides for the reduction or elimination of certain debts, and can provide a timeline for the repayment of non-dischargeable debts over time. It also permits individuals and organizations to repay secured debts --typically debts with real estate and vehicles pledged as collateral -- often on more favorable terms to the borrower.

Bankruptcy law is federal statutory law contained in Title 11 of the United States Code. Congress passed the Bankruptcy Code under its Constitutional grant of authority to "establish. uniform laws on the subject of Bankruptcy throughout the United States." See U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 8. States may not regulate bankruptcy; but, they may pass laws that govern other aspects of the debtor-creditor relationship. See Debtor-Creditor. A number of sections of Title 11 incorporate the debtor-creditor law of the individual states.

#Australia to toughen citizenship laws to combat terrorism - BBC News

Australian PM Tony Abbott has announced a push to toughen citizenship laws and tackle those inciting hatred in an attempt to target domestic extremists.

He said citizenship for dual nationals involved in terrorism could be suspended or even revoked.

People born in Australia could also lose some privileges if they broke anti-terror laws, he added.

Officials have warned that the country faces a growing security threat from radical Islamists.

Dozens of Australian nationals are thought to be fighting for Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq and Syria.

Experts are worried about the effect of returnees - and on those who support them - on domestic security.

"It has long been the case that people who fight against Australia forfeit their citizenship," Mr Abbott said in a speech at the federal police headquarters in the capital, Canberra.

The Master of Business Administration is one of the most popular and sought-after degrees available today. As the world moves to an increasingly corporate and service-based economy, companies have an ever-growing need for business savvy and certain sets of technical skills. And an MBA-holder is likely to have those skills and savvy. According to a recent New York Times article, "the term MBA has become synonymous with raw business talent. Pay scales have risen accordingly, and overall, the future looks bright for MBA students."

In 1965, fewer than 10,000 MBAs were granted to U.S. students. In 1977, the number rose to 48,000 and in 1998, it was 94,000. Even more interesting, sometwo thirds of these degrees are awarded not to full-time students, but to part-time or distance students, often subsidized by their employers. These are people looking to advance their careers, to move to a more rewarding career or even to start their own businesses. According to a su ... Read more »

What Is a Contract?

A contract is a promise between two or more persons involving the exchange ofsome good or service. Some of the basic elements of a contract include: an offer and an acceptance; "capacity," or being of legal age and sound competence; "mutual assent," or agreement on the terms of a contract; and "consideration," or compensation for goods or services rendered. The element that distinguishes a contract from an informal agreements is that it is legally binding:the law provides a remedy in the event that the promise is not fulfilled.

In the United States, the professional doctorate in law may be conferred in Latin or in English, as Juris Doctor (JD or J.D.) or Doctor of Jurisprudence (DJur or D.Jur.), respectively. "Juris Doctor" literally means "Teacher of Law", while the Latin for "Doctor of Jurisprudence"—Jurisprudentia Doctor —literally means "Teacher of Legal Knowledge".

Invariably an earned doctorate, the J.D./D.Jur. is equivalent in academic rank to the Doctor of Laws or Legum Doctor (LLD or LL.D.).

Aviation: An Overview

Aviation law governs the operation of aircraft and the maintenance of aviation facilities. Both federal and state governments have enacted statutes and created administrative agencies to regulate air traffic.

Using its constitutional authority to regulate interstate and foreign commerce, Congress has enacted several federal laws pertaining to air navigation. The first of these was the 1926 Air Commerce Act, which provided for the certification and registration of aircraft employed in interstate or foreign commerce, among other things. The statute was amended in 1938 by the Civil Aeronautics Act which created the "Civil Aeronautics Authority," a five member panel with the power to regulate all aspects of aviation within federal jurisdiction. Later, a Civil Aeronautics Board replcaed the five-member panel, and most of its power was transferred to the Department of Commerce.

Contracts are agreements that are legally enforceable. A contract may involve a duty to do or refrain from doing something, and the failure to perform such duty is called a breach of contract. The law provides remedies if a promise is breached- aiming to restore the person wronged to the position they would occupy if the contract had not been breached, rather than punish the breaching party.

The existence of a contract requires:

1. an offer;

2. an acceptance of that offer which results in a meeting of the minds,

3. a promise to perform,

4. a valuable consideration,

5. a time or event when performance must be made,

6. terms and conditions for performance,

7. performance, if the contract is "unilateral".

A contract may be express or implied. An express contract is one, whose terms are stated in words. An implied contract is one, the existence and terms of which are manifested by conduct. A unilateral contract is o ... Read more »
