Anyone In The Legal Field Game To Talk To Me About Some Legal Matters I Am Researching?(yes They Are Personal)

[Frans]

I have some legal background on me from the LOA courses I have taken in the past and I am now in the process of getting my AA in Paralegal Studies but I am stumped with some of the legalities that are going on, in trying to help my husband get the upper hand with his ex, she is dirty to the core she is getting by with everything so far and even slandering my name and etc...can explain more if contacted, he can't get a good attorney here the one he had for his divorce really got over on him big time. Took almost 2 yrs to get the divorce and then took 3 months to get the final degree from the court and then she didn't get everything he had wanted in there. Top it off she close the case before fixing it.

Left Behind Games Inc. Sent me a Nastygram Let me preface this blog by saying that I thought very carefully about whether to post this at all. I'm not clear of the legal ramifications of blogging about this, but ultimately I decided that whatever action does come of the following, it affects the gameology community(which, by reading this, you are a part of), so it make sense to bring it before you all to see what you think.If you've been following this blog for a while, you've probably seen that we've posted some rather critical remarks on the game Left Behind: Eternal Forces. Of course, we are far from alone in our criticism and are, in my opinion, far less harsh than some other reviews I've read. We're also a pretty small fish in a very large pond. Still, we're apparently on Troy Lyndon's radar as critics of his game because they've hit us with PR-spam here and here. On Monday, they escalated their response by sending me a nastygram threatening me with legal action unless I remove "false and misleading" comments from this website. The full text of their letter appears below. Sources: http://www.gameology.org/blog/left_behind_games_inc_sent_me_a_nastygra newuser63171353 50 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment.

Google keeps on scanning, and the publishing world keeps on fighting a rear guard action with too few troops and no supply line. Nevertheless, the Los Angeles Times writes: Critics have argued that Congress, not a private lawsuit in federal court, is the appropriate venue to settle the conflict because its outcome could alter the rights of many people who may not be aware of the case. So even if Chin grants final approval, the settlement could remain mired in courts. Among those who have said they would appeal is Scott E. Gant, a class-action attorney with Boies, Schiller & Flexner. Gant filed a personal objection to the settlement in his role as an author of a book titled ?We?re All Journalists Now: The Transformation of the Press and Reshaping of the Law in the Internet Age.? ?I am gravely concerned about the rights of the absent class members who are either unaware or do not understand the implications of this settlement,? Gant said. ?It could be several years,? he added, ?before we will see final resolution.?And what will change? In my opinion, not too much. Google keeps on scanning and processing. Who is going to do the job? Any national libraries? Thomson Reuters? Reed Elsevier? A consortium of publishers?

The coverage of the federal cases, district and appellate, is from 1924 to the present. US state cases cover 1950 to the present. Additional content will be added; for example, I have one source that suggested that the Commonwealth of Virginia Supreme Court will provide Google with CD ROMs of cases back to 1924.

The service is easy to use, but the engineering required to provide access to the content strikes me as non-trivial. Content transformation is an expensive proposition, and the cost of fiddling with legal information is one of the primary reasons commercial online services have had to charges hefty fees to look at what amounts to taxpayer supported, public information.

5 Myths about going to law school The cost of a legal education is now reaching stratospheric proportions. Anyone contemplating this enormous investment of time and money should think long and hard before applying.Here are five common myths about what law school will do for you:Myth 1: I'll be able to use the law degree in whatever career I decide to choose.Go to law school if you want to be a lawyer. But don't go if you believe it will "open doors" for you. It won't. By the end of law school you may still have no idea what you "want" from your career; only now you are likely to limited by huge law school debt.Myth 2: I'll get a job when I graduate law school.If you graduate near the top of your class from a top school, then your job prospects are likely to be strong. But if you have an average performance from a second-tier school, finding your first job may be a big challenge.Myth 3: I'll get to be in court and try cases.Most lawyers never see the inside of a courtroom. About 95% of all civil law suits that are filed are settled before trial. Much of the work of a "litigator" involves reviewing documents, preparing court filings and negotiating with the lawyer from the other side of the case.Myth 4: I'll be able to advocate for the little guy.If you are independently wealthy, you can advocate for the poor, fight for environmental justice, defend civil rights, etc. But if you are like the typical law school graduate today, you will finish with substantial debt. Public interest jobs are too low paying to accommodate a heavy debt burden. Some law schools have a debt-forgiveness program for people going into public interest jobs, but the salaries are so low that they are often hard to manage even in light of debt forgiveness.Myth 5: I'll have intellectually challenging work.Early in your career, you will probably spend a lot of time reviewing documents all day rather than tackling great intellectual issues. Even litigators ? many of whom go into law to argue exciting, constitutional issues ? will spend most of their time researching mundane procedural issues at the beginning of their career.If you're thinking of going to law school, make sure you have a clear plan for how you will make that degree useful(and essential) when you graduate. Find some practicing lawyers and spend time with them to find out what they really do for a living.If you are already in law school and reading this, don't panic. Rather, start doing some of the harder thinking that you put off and figure out how you want to make the best use of your degree when you do graduate. The work you do now will surely pay off in the long run.

The Law of Attraction has been taught, and in most cases is being taught, in such a way that it appears to have no connection points to general psychology ? and general psychology terminology has become part of our language usage ever since therapy showed its face on our horizons.It feels to a lot of folks that the Law of Attraction exists in a world of its own, a total break away from any other field that attempts to interpret human behaviour.In fact, this is not true. The Law of Attraction simply describes the way the universe(we) bind incidents together, that which we use to construct our lives and the stories of our lives ? it is a Law of Cause and Effect. It is compatible with any other rationale, can be integrated in any other way of thinking, is part of and the background of all that we are and do and have. And the ability to integrate the best of what we have believed with our knowledge of the LOA, makes us the complete beings we are.Take the concept of Toxic Relationships. It has become apparent to me that in many cases, subscribing to what the LOA teaches has put blinkers on us, sometimes makes it hard if not impossible for us to realize that there are still belief systems in which we function, and that, just like steering clear of negative stuff in our lives, steering clear of toxic relationships and understanding why we attract those in our lives can be part of our picture, our growth, our unfolding and the learning of the lessons we need to learn in order to use those relationships to steer us clear of who we are not and towards who we are.We choose our parents. Ouch. We know before this lifetime what we are coming to do during this one ? we set up the scenarios and people and events that unfold before us like a play ? and such it is, a play, our play, leading us to who we can be. And through the choosing of our parents, we also choose parents who do not teach us how to recognize bad relationships, who do not teach us how to keep ourselves safe, emotionally and otherwise.(And of course there is no real danger anywhere, ever.) And then their teachings(skewed as they are ? resulting in adults who are naïve, trusting, unable to recognize red lights in other people, in relationships) and the way we emerge from them attract teachers who enforce these beliefs we hold, and on and on ? the Law of Attraction in action.And then one day we arrive at a place where all the stage lights go on ? almost all at once ? and we find a term which speaks to us, which illuminates the difficulties we are having in our lives ? like Toxic Relationships ? and the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. And we understand that those teachers who did not equip us with the knowledge to be able to navigate the seas of our life, who protected and coddled us and at the same time abused and crossed our boundaries ? we were not even taught healthy boundaries ? are our most important teachers because that is NOT WHO WE WANT TO BE ? NOT who we are ? and against the backdrop of that we suddenly understand what we came here to teach.I am grateful to my parents, to every unbalanced unhappy relationship I have ever had, and I raise my glass to the fact that I have my headlights on now ? that I can recognize healthy from unhealthy, and that I know I attract more of the good stuff, at last.
