Law Questions and Answers

Why did President Bush defend the woman raped contained by the Middle East - but not the US woman raped by Halliburton?

President Bush spoke out about the woman raped surrounded by the Middle East who was the martyr but sentenced to jail and lashings. The King of Egypt consequently pardoned her.


A woman from America be raped by empoyees of Hallibruton and can't get anyone to do anything. Because they are contracting contained by Iraq the law doesn't apply to these rapists for some idea. Why isn't President Bush coming to her aid like he did the woman within the Middle East?

This woman from the United States and was doing work surrounded by Iraq, was raped by several Halliburton team and no one care.

Not one word of help or condemnation from President Bush!

Why didn't he telephone attention to the rape case of the American woman? Because he didn't want to draw more unenthusiastic attention to his Contracting company and his war tool?
Answers: You're exactly right. He didn't want to draw any more negative press to the blunder specifically Iraq and the no-bid contracts to his buddies. You make it too effortless when you answer your own question! Of course, Republicans/ Conservatives would phone up that woman a "liar", "whore" and say she be "allegedly raped" and that those men are "innocent 'til proven guilty." And technically, they are innocent 'til proven otherwise. But I've already seen general public on these boards go after the martyr and not the attackers. Strange mentality those folks have, eh?
A couple of things that different.
The woman surrounded by Saudi Arabia was going to be acquire whip for one rape.
The woman you are referring to is under investigation.

She will not be beat or beheaded because she was rape.

There have to be an investigation and trail first before we pass by sentence in this country.

Just because she make charges doesn't mean the total company of Hallibruton approve it or defended those who rape her.

Let us remember what Murtha said about the Marines as cold blooded murders come to find out it didn't begin and the Marines were cleared of adjectives charges.

Murtha never apologize for that so can I say that adjectives Democrats approve of making false charges?

I don't.
I think George Bush hate Americans

I really think he does
It's politics and foreign relations. Intervening surrounded by a case that seem to be a human rights violation, such as imprisoning a woman who be raped, is sending a message that our country doesn't approve of these practices. It's the same rationale American has put pressure on China next to regard to Tibet and Taiwan and Russia over the Balkin states.

The defence of the American woman is sad, but it's not really the President's place to bring back involved in individual cases. For that business, it's not really the place of the federal government to intervene within individual cases*. This is one of the reasons various people be upset about the President and Congress even discussing the Terri Schiavo travel case a few years ago.

*This does not apply to the federal government creating law that apply to specific issues. Although this is usually left to the states. The merely time the federal government should obtain involved in an individual casing is the Supreme Court (and lower appellate courts). However, the purpose of the courts involvement is not to hear the individual case, but fairly to test the constitutionality of a directive.
Obviously, bush is taking one for the team!

PS, posting 3 times, is resembling spitting 3 times on cons face!!

How much time does a lawyer in actual fact spend in the court room?

More specifically, how much time does a existing estate/construction lawyer or a relatives lawyer spend within the court room? Thanks to everyone who answers!
Answers: Not very long. But if it's solitary 10 minutes, they will still charge you for the hour, plus travel time, air, wet, thoughts, ...etc.
Let's see... 4 in the court room, 2 surrounded by the Cafe, 18 in bed beside a Hooker.

Not that long, really. He does more 'Important stuff' for the rest of it.
Lawyer as a profession is vast! Even inwardly the fields you specify, some lawyer specialize yet contained by document construction in an try to prevent future litigation. Others specializes within litigation. Yet some only do appeals cases, so it depends.

Also, most cases do not craft it to trial and get settled out or dismissed in the past that. If that's the case, the attorney doesn't get much time within court (trial) unless you count appearing in the judge's chamber as time contained by court.
If the real estate/construction attorney is involved solely in litigation claims, they will not spend much time surrounded by court. They will conduct their business mostly through pleadings, motions, and depositions. The only time they would in actuality go to court is for a audible range on a contentious motion, for pretrial confernece, and, if it comes to it, trial.

As for a family legal representative, they would likely spend more time contained by court. Their case nouns is likely be much more, so they will spend time surrounded by court almost every day for custody hearing, support or adjustment hearings, and any other number of hearing that must be before a find.
It really depends. Some lawyers prefer to do with the sole purpose transactional work and thus rarely set foot contained by the court room. Some lawyers do ONLY trials, and thus spend your regular 40 hours per week within court, plus more hours on out of court preparation. Other litigators do some combination of office work and court appearances. As an associate within a litigation firm, I spend anywhere between 0 and 30 hours per week in court, out of a total of 50 hours per week of work. It really vary.

What most lay people don't realize is only how much of a litigator's work is done out of the court room. A summary judgment motion surrounded by a complex case may be argued contained by front of the judge for a mere hour -- but take a month (!) of absolutely grueling out-of-court work to brief. (For the uninitiated: "briefing" a motion routine preparing the papers for the judge to read.) A garden-variety personal injury trial may run only 4 days of court time, but it is preceded by several weeks of preparation; and while nouns and arguments are heard between in the order of 10 am and 4 pm, the lawyers who are on trial truly work on the case round the clock. A deposition does not usually lift place in a court room, but it is a epic and intensive process (and also book-ended by lengthy preparation and subsequent analysis).

The concept itself of "spending time surrounded by court" is also quite iffy, for not adjectives court apperances are created equal. If a lawyer is on trial, every minute of his court time represents actual work. By contrast, when a attorney goes on a court conference, most of his time is, regrettably, spent waiting on a long strip of cases to be called to see the trendsetter. Three hours in the bureau is spent much more productively than three hours at a court conference. In any event, as I previously said, most work that litigators do takes place out of the court room. Accordingly, court time versus out-of-court time is a distinction which, for the most fragment, only lay empire make; it signifies a great deal less to lawyer.

Should i sue?

Today, i was drinking my hose down & a bird feather within it. should i sue Kirkland? it definately wasn't from me, b/c it was a sparrow spine & i only enjoy a parakeet. give adive asap!

what are your damages?

bit: google the lady who "found a finger" contained by her chili at wendy's in san jose a few years put money on. let us know if you find out when she is getting out of incarcerate for wsting everyone's time.

edit:

> btw, the chili finger woman went to incarcerate for committing criminal fraud, not wasting anyone's time and i'm assuming you are being truthful.

And it started newly like this poster is conversation about. And this one will pause the same path if pursued.
Don't waste your money and time. You won't seize anything without showing substantiated injury and/or torment and suffering or emotional distress. You'd hold to go to a shrink for 3 months and make clear to them how devastated you are to prove it affected you. It's not similar to a finger or something like that. You enjoy a case. You will take home no money and lose some. I would check with a doctor though and formulate sure the feather didn't brand name you sick as birds can carry diseases. If that's the luggage, then your luggage improves dramatically.

btw, the chili finger woman went to intern for committing criminal fraud, not wasting anyone's time and i'm assuming you are being truthful.

Hypothetical Situation: What is Ethical vs. Legal?

Sister goes to her elder brother's house in the middle of the hours of darkness, badly bruised after mortal beaten by discourteous husband. This is not the first time this happens.

Older brother see battered sister... is fed up near abusive husband.

Sister beg older brother not to be in motion confront abusive husband and continues to fashion excuses for him.

Older brother takes his shotgun, and drives to impertinent husband's house anyway. Older brother shoots abusive husband to passing, freeing his sister once and for all...

This is not legitimately justified, but what are your thoughts more or less the ethics aft the matter? Is the elder brother justified surrounded by his actions?
Answers: I believe the elder brother would be justified within beating the tarmacadam out of the abusive husband and later handing him over to the cops. Although, he'd probably budge to jail for aggravated assault. Now the brother have given his sister freedom from abuse, but have imprisoned himself by committing murder. And yes, it's murder. It be thought out and planned. The sister begged the brother not to confront the wounding husband, the brother either picked up a loaded shotgun, or loaded it himself and consequently headed over to the home of the insolent husband and shot and killed him. It is neither decriminalized or ethical, nor should it EVER be considered as such. We simply can not have citizens taking the ruling into their own hands.
Should've get "bad-hubby" to come to "big-bros" house and started a fight the when "bad-hubby" dies, it's self defense!!!
I can see the dilemma, but see his @ss first, ya know a warning!
I don't believe it's ever ethical to execute another being. However, I would be firm pressed to fault the brother for hitting the abuser inside out. If he happened to die from injuries sustained from the spanking, well afterwards...thats just karma.
There is no nouns behind it. Two wrongs do not net one right. Killing another human being for any root does not make anything right.

In this overnight case, the older brother retaliated beside deadly force. There are alternatives. A divorce? Family intervention? Counseling? Could even enlist the police for domestic ferocity. These will take time, but that does not claim killing someone for instantaneous relief.
This in actual fact happened to a friend of mine. It be his older sister and after years of this rough up, he went to their house and shot and kill his brother-in-law with a pistol. I am from a small community and everyone know everyone. The community generally agreed that conceivably this was understandable. I thought so. My friend who had never be charged with anything surrounded by his life (40 years old) be charged with manslaughter and be released while he awaited trial. He finally got sentenced to a couple of years and served something like 6 months.

If someone was hurting anyone within my family close to this I would hurt them back. Damned right I would.
I take why he would be upset enough to wipe out the husband, but ethical or not, it was an extremely stupid entry to do!

He should have only called the police and tolerate them deal near it. Instead, he took matters into his own hand and now he be to pay the price.

I love hypothetical situations. They sort you think. ^_^
Definitely not. One main justification for the existence of the elected representatives is to provide protection for its people. The system takes the conduct of depriving an individual of liberty base on the principle of fair trial, etc. The brother's stroke is inherently unjust, because he is taking the regulation into his own hands. This is the principle for anarchy. With every crime, there will other be a victim. And if every martyr took it upon himself to punish the wrongdoer, then this 1. creates arbitrary retribution, but also nullifies the exoneration for the existence of the state.

The basis of equality is giving each his tolerant due. This is why we have a judicial system, to evaluate due. The husband is due intern time for being wounding, true. But the brother took it upon himself to distribute the due. This creates an arbitrary degree of punishment. In this crust, the husband was wrongly given more than he be due, i.e. death does not equate to (non-torture) physical knock about. Another logical flaw is while there are strict doctrines for equality, there is zilch that defines nouns. Therefore, ethics should never be used to defend an action as everyone have different ethics. For example, this crime might not be as desperate to one person as it is to another. Although, I'm also not truism that the world is free of ethical concerns, there is a row where central morals must always come within to play. This is called deantology (the view that no matter what, these serious universal moral codes should never be violated).

In short, no. The elder brother's actions are not understandable. They may have some justification, but they are by no means only. To argue that they are is to support anarchy, which, despite what some people might say-so, we all know is bleak.
justified? without doubt not
ethical? absolutely not
defensible? maybe
I enjoy to whole heartedly vote no the brother was not defensible.

He was below no direct threat from the brother - his sister was. His priority would own been to remove his sister to a undamaging place, and let the regulation handle the husband.
NOT the first time !! ????

Tell her - IF she have REALLY had satisfactory - "Leave the 'batsard'. --

There are Laws.

However - after leaving him - she will probably collect another 'bartasd' and and go through like rigmarole again.

Sorry folks - but **** happens
No, he is not.

You said it happen before. The brother should hold reported the sister's situation the first time it happened. With ample effort, he could enjoy convinced his sister to leave/report it.

The brother's lack of attempting to thieve a legal route precipitate in the crisis does not confer him any right to take poisonous measures now.

The brother could in reality blame himself for allowing it to continue short intervention.
Take a page from Scarface huh? Killing is never right, he should advice her sister to want a divorce. Two wrongs doesn't make a right, in a minute she will live with the reality that she is the cause for her husband extermination and her brother in lock away. Lose, lose situation.

By what time, legally, do I hold to be changed out of my pajamas..?

What is going to happen to my friend contained by this situation?

Today after school, my friend be backing out of her parking space. She looked formerly backing up and so did I. There be definitely not a soul coming. Then suddenly the car lurched slightly. I turned around and here was another vehicle there! I don't even know how it happen. There was not a soul around when I had looked second before, so the woman must own sped around the corner.

Anyways, my friend pulled back into her parking space, and I could clearly see that at hand was no twist to the woman's car. Her motor was silver and within wasn't even a red paint mark from my friend's saloon making contact with it. So positively no damage be done.

The lady get out (and left her vehicle right in the middle of the parking lot, blocking other people) and told my friend to return with her license and registration. Then she went rear legs to her car and pulled into a parking space. My friend brought her information over to the woman and she have to have her son copy it down because "her shoulder hurt so feebly."
Answers: I think the best article your friend is report the incident to her insurance company. The other woman may try to sue and it would be best if her insurance company knew in the region of the accident in the past they are contacted by the woman's attorney. Also, the details are fresh in her (and your) mind, which would bring in for a more accurate account of the situation.
Without prejudice to the vehicles, she will own a hard time proving anything but minor injuries to her body be caused by the contact. Your friend's minimal liability insurance (assuming she have it) should cover any minor property damages or chiropractic care the woman goes through. It does not nouns like a focal deal.

Exactly how much authority do teachers contained by Ireland have?

My vice-principal is other telling me to wear my jersey, but it gets too hot surrounded by the middle of the day. Surely she can't do this? Plus, she singles me out, 'cause other citizens walk aroud lacking their jumpers and she single ever gives out to me. they've even (obviously) lied to us aphorism people own called them complaining. My friend say I could report her, but I thought I should make sure I'm right first. Your oblige would be much appreciated.
Answers: Report her to who?
Teachers have the authority vested surrounded by them by the school and by the parents. They own no legal authority surrounded by the sense of authority exercised by the Gardai, for example.
Easiest way around this is to receive your parent(s) on side; explain the problems to them and get them to write a short make a note of to the VP (copying the Head) asking that you be excused wearing your jumper for subdivision of the day because you find it to be uncomfortably hot.
There's no point surrounded by provoking a dispute with the VP on your own, ultimately you'll be the loser, someway.
i would ask her for a copy of the uniform rules. they may have strict rules, but one too hot can affect your work so is counter productive.
i would be very polite and non agressive asking her, simply make it clear that you cannot concentrate on your tasks if you are too busy consciousness hot. it does sound a bit unreasonable, but in attendance may be another reason she is asking this.
engineer sure the shirt you wear under is verbs and presentable.

What happens to me if I am found surrounded by contemt of court.?

I am not letting my daughter see her father because he is a drunk and drug abuser and has be arrested many time for drunk driving and driving in need a license and just not long for criminal impersonation and driving under suspension

Thank you
Answers: Wizjp is correct. . .it could be anything from a fine to time contained by the county jail. You do not dance to prison for contempt. Based on the father's conduct, you need to seize a lawyer to return with the visitation taken away or changed to supervised visitation before it comes to contempt.
its gonna be heartbreaking for you to spend xmas and new years contained by prison.

you have other recourses in connection with visitation time. whatever the guy is or isn't, he is au fait with how courts work and you aren't. you will lose every time until you integer that out.

eventually all the time you are spending contained by jail on contempt will be used against you contained by visitation and custody issues.

maybe he will not be worthy, but after your girl will just be taken away by the state.

smarten up, and efficient!
Probably nothing at adjectives since many race have a contempt of court,..more than ever those who have be convicted.

You should make it a point to consent to your daughter see the drunk you married,..it might teach her to be somewhat more selective when it becomes her turn to opt on a husband.

Was he that kind of a individual before you married him or did you label him that way?
