Why throughout Massachusetts law and TV decree shows set in Boston does it trade name references to 'The Commonwealth'

Answers: I will of late quote William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:

"Massachusetts, like Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Kentucky, is call a "Commonwealth". Commonwealths are states, but the reverse is not true. Legally, Massachusetts is a commonwealth because the term is contained contained by the Constitution. In the era leading to 1780, when the state Constitution be ratified, a popular permanent status for a whole body of folks constituting a nation or state was the word "Commonwealth." This occupancy was the preferred usage of some political writers. There also may enjoy been some anti-monarchic sentiment surrounded by using the word "Commonwealth." The name, which surrounded by the eighteenth century was used to tight-fisted "republic", can be traced to the second draft of the state Constitution, written by John Adams and accepted by the ethnic group in 1780."

For more information, stir to the Commonwealth website listed below contained by "source."
Because that is the prescribed name of Massachusetts - the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

This is a adjectives trivia trick question that asks how plentiful states there are. Four states - Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Maryland - are formally titled as Commonwealths. (They're states beside fancy names.)
it resources "common obedient," or "best interest." it is what Mass. sometimes uses in the style of criminal cases where on earth the state is the prosecutor. They are saying "the best interest of Mass v. Defendant." the prosecution represents "the best interests of Mass." it is interchangeable next to the term "state."



The other answers are correct too, I assumed you be talking going on for Crime Drama TV like Boston Legal. I hold never heard the occupancy Common Wealth used in any context save for in the style of criminal cases, but I am an attorney. So, I would be ignorant of any other usage. Any state can call themselves a "adjectives wealth." I own seen states bar Mass. Use it in published cases. I hold also seen Mass cases styled as State v. Defendant and State of Massachussettes v. Defendant and purely plain Massachussettes v. Defendant.

"Commonwealth" is a British term. The occupancy "Wealth" used to mean "powerfully being" in Britain. It is resembling using the term "witnesseth my hand" instead of "witness my signature" or "affaint saith not" instead of "deny." In officially recognized documents. Older attorneys usually use these terms. You find other places surrounded by the law where on earth you will run into dated terms. In MS where on earth I practice, some of the older lawyer will say "bastardy suit" instead of "paternity suit." The MS code even still have the term "bastardy as resourcefully as bastard" in it.
The previous answerers also forgot to include Kentucky among the states that refer to themselves as the "Commonwealth of." This vocalizations tends to be used by the productive states (and some like Kentucky that be parts of the original nouns of the U.S.). The term commonwealth date back to the Government established by Cromwell after the English Civil War during the interregnum prior to the restoration.

The residence state on the other hand derives from the concept of an independent administration (e.g. nation-state) and was the terms used in the Declaration of Independence to refer to the untried status of the thirteen colonies.

In addition to the states, Puerto Rico is also a commonwealth but, within relation to Puerto Rico, that is a extraordinary description of status under the federal law governing Puerto Rico.

Is there a statute against preventing a wild animal from slaughter another wild animal?

As long as you didn't injure any animal in the process?
Answers: certainly, there is a statute against harassing wild animals unless you own a hunting permit. you can't chase them, shriek at them etc.
in the in their natural habitat it is fine. if human intervention is involved, then it is not fine and possible there are law against it.

btw, harming animals as a child is a strong predictor of growing up to be a serial hired gun. might want to get support now while you still can .

Sexual Harassment
Workplace Violence
Any nature of Child Abuse, sexual or not.
Hello,
I did not read the article. I feel putting everyone surrounded by a box like this regulation is doing is wrong.
This is now academy policy all over the nation as resourcefully.
A disabled kid who gets picked on daylight in and morning out finally has plenty of it and sticks up for himself and is put in the box beside major problematic kids, it is freshly wrong.
Society these days is running terrified, this law is simply one prof to this.

My cousin has be indicted on one count of sexual assault what kind of plea quibble can he be looking at?

(in texas)there was this girl that be obsessed near my cousin and went to great length to try and be with him. it be sort of like mortal attraction. she was 16 and he be 24. he didnt want to be with her because of her age and she wouldnt permit it go. she threatened him near rape and all that but he never took it serious. he looked-for to just look right through her and hopefully he thought it would go away but it didnt, she done up telling imperative enforcement that the she did have sex beside him but it was consentual, they arrested him for it and he get indicted just on her word for one count of 2nd level sexual assault on a child. this has cause him pain and depression and hes thinking almost taking a plea bargain if they propose it. the fear of prison is concrete and you must look at all your option. so what do yall think to the best of your wisdom can they plea down to from 2nd degree sexual assault on a child surrounded by texas?its his word against hers. thank all of you for your time and answer
Answers: Don't filch a plea bargain. It is a tool for slothful lawyers and prosecutors beside no case. A fully clad lawyer should know how to get him rotten if he really didn't do it... a good attorney should be able to bring him off even if he did.
The majority of rape or sexual assault cases are he said/she said cases. Just depends on how believable she is. Apparently the DA think she is believable.

The DA will probably not be interested in pleading it down to a crime i.e. NOT a sex offender crime. So sexual assault may be as low as the DA is predisposed to go.

Local law or your particular situation may convert the general rules. For a specific answer to your request for information you should consult legal counsel near whom you can discuss all the facts of your luggage. **
One thing he should do is hire a biddable lawyer and sue the crap out of her for unpleasant slander, defamation of role, and injuries, and make it be for ...oh, i don't know, read out $10 Million dollars, in a CIVIL suit, resembling they did to OJ after he was found no guilty contained by criminal court. The families took him to CIVIL court and sued him for wrongful release and won. Your cousin should do that, sue the crap out of her for slander, defamation, injurious conduct, etc.

As for your cross-examine, I know its tempting to budge for the plea bargain, but if he didn't do it, NO. There be a guy who recently get out of jail and have the same type of story your cousin does. He be eventually freed as being wrongfully locked up, and he never, ever backed down on his innocence. You cousin doesn't want ANY benign of guilty plea on his record, not a soul will EVER believe that he is innocent after that, no matter what. He should stand strong, and verbs to do all he can to prove his innocence. Including getting the girl to confess that she lied, somehow, along next to suing the crap out of her. He really should do that.
he needs an impressive attorney immediately, as the charge could efficiently be changed to rape.

Even at this print, the charge is one that will make him register as a sex criminal for the rest of his life, and to be exact a blot no one requests.

A plea bargain will be determined no opportunity for appeal. he shouldn't even be speaking to the DA without an attorney present.

His attorney will know how to button the situation, and it will likely not result contained by a trial because if the girl was a strong witness, the charge would be much complex already.

But if he is stupid enough to bring it without allowed advice, the DA will be glad to hold it as a feather contained by his cap.

How do you file a complaint against Superior Court?

Does anyone know what I can do? I enjoy filed my divorce paperwork within Long Beach Superior Court. My attorney wanted us to travel to trial because he said LB is notorious for losing paperwork. I own been calling them every week to see if the intermediary has signed the judgement. They couldn't find the papers and next apparently they did and the judge signed them and after it was supposed to be processed. Well apparently it never arrived to be processed and they own no idea where on earth it is. The supervisor is not there and the woman surrounded by the department with my sort out is not there any. Can't something be done about their failing as employees? Can I report a complaint? Or anything? This has be EXTREMELY stressful and if it gets lost it will cost me more money.
Answers: Makes you wonder in the region of the wisdom of Lifetime appointments for Judges. Since most courts are lawyers perfect luck trying to file a suit against them.
There's zilch you can do except complain to the supervisor in the clerks bureau - who will, of course, discount you.

Civil servants are effectively immune to suit - or pretty much any other action - surrounded by regard to how they do their job.

Why else is it, do you think, that governing body work invariably attracts the laziest and most incompetent people surrounded by the world? It's because they take job where they know they can achieve away with conduct that any private employer would fire them for.

Uh this is right formerly Xmas - people are on leave. some people may hold temp replacements.

Try again after new years.

It is not the court's issue if you didn't budget ample time or money for the task you set out on.

Do you think the NYC nightclub lawsuit is frivolous, or does it own merit?

A man has sued the NYC nightclub over "Ladies' Night" discounts and free admission, truism the promotions discriminate against men. I think it's a ploy! What is your opinion?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071215/ap_o...
Answers: I wouldn't nickname it frivolous; I would call it misguided. First, I don't reflect on a tried and true business marketing strategy is discrimination. Secondly men, while usually have to pay more than women, benefit from this scenario contained by other ways. Like having a superior ratio of women to meet and socialize beside. In my lifetime of partying, I have not hear one single complaint from anybody about this. Hollander is gay and wishes to get a enthusiasm.
i just hear about that a few minutes ago and i deliberate it's ridiculous also!

the nightclub is taking steps to ensure there's lots of ladies there for the guys so everyone can enjoy a good time and he's truly upset about it? why doesn't he only go to a gay banister, i bet they don't "discriminate" against guys there.

i hope the courts throw this one out.
Tons of merit.

It is public policy and decree to not discriminate based on sexual category and race among a few other things.

The claim is that the club offered indistinguishable service at different prices based solely on masculinity.

How would you feel if the policy be "whites pay $3 for a drink and blacks compensate $15 to enter and $10 per drink?"

Of course you would be outraged.

In the eyes of the law, discriminating base on gender is no different afterwards doing so based on see.

So, there you enjoy it.
It probably has merit.

I've commonly wondered how some gyms can be for "women only" and not be discriminatory.

Likewise, I've often wondered how homeowners associations can be solitary for those over 55 without it individual discriminatory against those younger than 55.

If this nightclub had a "Gentlemen's Night" they would enjoy been sued long ago.

Not that I necessarily agree near any of this -- but I have wondered just about it, and why it would not be considered discriminatory.
I do think it have merit. It is discrimination why should men recompense more than women to go to like peas in a pod place? Don't you think Equality should aim just that?

As a woman I want equal treatment. Women have need of to stop expecting handouts if they truly want equality. The fact that a man is bringing this to the public eye is the best item he could do to promote true equality.

Are you breaking the law if you drive long-gone those road signs that say "Do Not Pass"?

Perhps thats why Cops view everyone as criminals, we adjectives passed that sign,

How could a jury member, who have been molested as a child, possibly be detached when deciding on a sex armour?

Answers: He or she probably can't be truly impartial.
considering that 1 surrounded by 4 people own been sexually molested as kids ,,,,if it be a jury of peers the ration would be the same as contained by the culture.

but you are right they probably want to hang someone
One doesn't involve to be impartial, one wishes to listen to all the evidence and consider it somewhat.

Layers are given a number of challenge in which they prevent someone from self on the jury for any reason or no defence at all. Judges too enjoy latitude in this nouns.

Is your question anything more consequently hypothetical?
She proably can't - which is why a defense attorney would probably try to keep her stale the jury. Finding out stuff like to be precise the purpose of voir dire.

Richard
Some could. Some could not.

I can only speak for myself. I would not want the crimes that be perpetrated against me to be perpetrate against any other person. I would want the entity held to account if they be guilty. HOWEVER, I also know how truly devastating the results are, and want the RIGHT person held to justification. I would want everything nailed down even tighter than someone else might, because I want to know that the physical criminal is behind bar, rather than getting away next to the crime and living free to hurt another while someone innocent languished within jail.
It depends. Many ancestors cling to the wrongs done to them forever, while others move on and live time.

Statistically in a room of 100 citizens 40 of them will have be molested in their energy or a victim of a sexual assualt. In the voire dire the attorney for the defense would plausible try to eliminate survivors of verbal abuse in instruct to give a unprejudiced trial. The reality is that not everyone of those 40 will be vindictive or out to go and get everyone accused of foul language. Many have deal with it and moved on beside their lives -- any anger they have is directed at their perp not society surrounded by general.

What happends when your involved in a judment by a credit company?

I be just served 30 days ago I didnt know I have to file broadsheet in court in a minute they say I am contained by default and within is a judments against me now beside a garnishment of my wages what can i do now is in that some type of law that protects me or what rights do i hold , I want to pay them but they dont want to hear from me at adjectives . what can i do?
Answers: Nothing. You had a opening to settle it and be heard; you inferior to follow. You can try going back to the court that ordered the garnishemnt; but you'll hold to prove you shouldn't have to clear; and that's not happening.

Pay the debit surrounded by full or pay the garnishment
Most States own a procedure for you to move to have the defaulting judgment set aside and own a trial on the merits as to whether you actually owe them the money or not.

Since you plead guilty that you DO owe them the money, all that would do is cost you a second set of court fees.

Once they own their judgment - any now or after a retrial - they can garnishing your wages. A creditor is under NO condition to accept a operate, even BEFORE they get a sentence. Once they HAVE the judgment though, here is no reason at adjectives for them to do so.

Richard
Too bad for you.

They will put liens on everything you own until they gain their money. They can also attach your bank accounts, your coup¨¦ and anything of value you own.

Shudda salaried them.
