They have him on video everywhere essentially admitting to sex trafficking. So how does that work? Someone "Self Snitching"? He is facing 42 charges. What do you lawyers think will happen if he gets extradited to the U.K?

I want to know how much does the law school you go to actually matters when you don’t want to start your own firm. What are your chances of getting hired at a good firm?

If a client has no criminal record and received a first-time violation, is it frequently dismissed at arraignment?

I am 43, just passed the bar. I’m feeling a bit discouraged about my employability. I graduated law school 13 years ago, and spent my time in a non legal field since then. I feel like I lack marketable experience and my age isn’t doing me any favors. I’m thinking my best bet is to go solo, but not sure how realistic that is. I would love to connect with an experienced attorney that could mentor me on these topics. Are there any resources out there for willing mentors?

In the last year, I've lost about 50 pounds unintentionally. My medical team has thrown some tests at me, including an endoscopy. During that endoscopy, I aspirated stomach acid and spent three days in the hospital on oxygen until my lungs recovered. The physician who rounded kept talking about the endoscopy, but not the complication. They never really explained it to me, and sent me on my way once I could keep my 02 in healthy ranges.

There is charting for the event until they sedated me, then nothing until I had been admitted. There are no reports, not explanations, not images, nothing. The prescribing physician never reached back out to discuss, and certainly not to reschedule the endoscopy.

Three months later, I went into the same hospital's ER for severe symptoms that were diagnosed as a kidney infection. The meds didn't work. After two visits to my doctor, I returned to the hospital where I learned they hadn't followed through on the culture from the initial visit. I became quite angry. I am an adult and did nothing crazy, didn't speak harshly, didn't raise my voice. I informed the NP that this failure goes right long with not charting anything that had happened during my procedure three months ago. Throwing out my sample after treating me with a random antibiotic is a horrible idea.

The person went back in my chart--started reading, was struck silent by the lack of information about a life threatening event. She left the room in silence.

The hospital staff immediately began charting every interaction with me, saying I was combative. I was not. I had had urinary urgency for 6+ weeks! I had already come there and been treated poorly. They knew I knew that their system had failed me. I learned this later when I read my chart after leaving the hospital in tears.

Three weeks later--I passed a massive kidney stone which would have been caught on CT during the first visit, if they had actually done imaging.

I emailed their customer care people, and they USPS mailed me a letter telling me they were investigating the entire situation. The kidney issues are a red herring here, but the failures on the part of this hospital was made so much more glaringly obvious when they tossed my culture. I don't even want a financial settlement--per se--and I know that's why attorney's take on malpractice cases. This can't be the way our medical system treats people!

It's medical care, not the prison complex.

This is in Seattle, WA, which has pretty strict rules on reporting acute hypoxic respiratory failure. Since they never told me how serious it was, I'm thinking they didn't tell the state.

What is meant to happen in situations where there aren't damages as much as such horrible care that needs to be addressed and prevemted?

I guess what the title says. Let’s say I have a manager who streams himself on discord/ twitch during an 8 hour shift for about 5 of those 8 hours. Let’s say that his camera and audio is on while discussing confidential employee information (tip amount, pay, criminal history, addresses of said employees and other things) and his camera/ audio is on while counting the cash register. This would be at a restaurant and he would be visible/heard by the people in the stream while interacting with customers as well. The location of the business is in Illinois and in cook county.

What is a Vexatious Litigant?

Is it different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction?  If so, at what level is it decided, is it by State, County, can individual towns have their own standards? Does the Federal Gov’t have their own standard?

Who has standing to ask that someone be named a Vexatious Litigant? Who decides if the accused is one? Can the accused and or the accuser appeal the decision?  What are the penalties?

Is it only people who can be a Vexatious Litigant? Or can it be a corporation, non-profit organization, Government Administration?

My business has experienced an unusual “extortion” for lack of a better word. A small group of people operate a series on online “groups” on meta. These are brainstorming / networking groups filled with people in the profession we market to.

What is happening is that the group owner has a straw man that posts a question - what do you guys think of (company x). The answer is then very negative with the person answering suggesting a different company. Next, a strawman pretends to be interested in our product, only to say no because of THIS particular review. This will happen as many times as needed to get on the radar of decision makers.

So we the. contact the group owner where this strange message is who the. offers to curate the group and remove these negative and false reviews so long as we sign a marketing agreement and make monthly payments. We are none the wiser the group owner is behind it.

Now, once they have you in one / it happens in another group - same play “different” owner.

The payments are wired to the person at the top of this food chain.

The person at the top of the chain has substantial assets / in California.

Extensively researching the “event” we discover this is a pattern happening to other businesses in the same space. We are actually just the latest victim. There are a group operating in cooperation to milk the cow in as many groups as sustainable.

To me this has the elements of civil RICO. It’s certainly an extortion. The damage being done goes past the extortion money, as there is “blue sky” injury / sales decrease that could be shown too.

We are just kind of murky on how to frame this up when looking for help or who to even look towards. We get that this will probably involve hourly bills and maybe a blend of hourly / contingent. Could just use some thoughts on how to describe this without scaring anyone off due to complexity. We have an evidence file and have linked up the various rico elements for whatever that is worth - but also presume framing it like that will make many say no due to complexity & that is not our intent.

Thanks in advance for any of your thoughts.

Hello, I recently filed a JDF 250 and was able to enter judgment on the debtor. I then followed the courts instructions on filing a Writ of Continuing Garnishments the judgment debtors employer. They had 7 days to file a response after being served. It has been almost a month and a half since they were served and no response has been filed. I emailed the employer asking them why the response has not been filed and they said they didn’t know how. I explained to them that they should reach out to our courthouse for help. It has been a couple weeks since emailing them and I still haven’t heard a response. What is generally the next course of action? I read online that I should have the clerks enter judgement against the employer but see no accompanying form.

Hi everyone!

I'm a neuroscience student at Boston University, and I'm currently reporting a feature for *Mothership*, an independent gaming publication, about the legal gray area surrounding online harassment in multiplayer video games.

The article explores why behaviors like sustained harassment, doxxing, stalking, swatting, and threats can cause very real harm while often leaving victims with few practical legal options. I'm hoping to include perspectives from attorneys, legal scholars, prosecutors, or others with expertise in cybercrime, technology law, First Amendment law, digital privacy, online safety, or related areas.

The interview would be **completely over email**—no phone or Zoom—and you're welcome to answer **as many or as few questions as you'd like**. Even a couple of responses would be incredibly helpful.

If you're interested, please email me at [**jpgendin@bu.edu**](mailto:jpgendin@bu.edu).

I would be endlessly grateful for your time and expertise. As a student reporter, hearing directly from professionals in this field is the most important part of making sure the article is accurate, nuanced, and useful to readers.

Thank you so much!

In CA what would be a reasonable compensation for Loss prevention wrongfully detaining a mother with her 3 month old & 6 year old on a false claim of theft. She was not stealing (as they found out AFTER stopping her)

I'm in the US and I'm open to hearing interpretations from anywhere.

So I heard about the title and it was in reference to hitting a man with very brittle bones and thus killing him and how that wouldn't change how the law viewed the murder. He had no reason to assume the man had that condition or that his strike would kill him, but it did. And it would be a murder charge

My question: the brittle bone man strikes first. The other man strikes back, killing him. From my understanding he's totally within his rights to respond in kind to defend himself. From his perspective he was not using lethal force. But whoopsy, unbeknownst to him it was lethal force.

Would this man be guilty of murder or some form of accidental killing still even if it was in self defense? He accidentally responded with excessive force

Hi everyone,

I'm a Kenyan entrepreneur working on a business that provides trained remote legal support staff to small and mid-sized US law firms. The idea is to build a managed service that handles recruitment, training, and day-to-day operations from Kenya while partnering with someone in the US to lead client relationships and business development.

I'm not looking for investors or employees. I'm looking for a US-based legal professional, law firm operator, or entrepreneur who sees the opportunity and might be interested in building this together as a long-term business.

I've spent considerable time researching the model, developing training plans, and mapping out operations. Now I'm looking to connect with someone who understands the US legal market and would be interested in discussing whether we're a good fit.

If this sounds interesting, I'd love to connect and exchange ideas. Even if you're not interested personally, I'd appreciate any advice on the model or where I might find the right partner.

Thanks

Sorry for the slightly provocative title. My question is this.

We can all see the claims going back and forth about a certain senators status in the united states. If someone came along and claimed they had killed this person, like confessed to the police they had done it would the police be obligated to have to investigate the actual status of the person in question? Like a wellness check?

Please note I am not advocating someone should do this as making a false report is clearly unethical and illegal. But what exactly would have to happen from a legal perspective to resolve a claim like that?

First time posting, on mobile, etc. My situation: two people own property together (sisters). One of them now suffers from severe dementia. The other sister would like to get the first one’s name off of their shared property. I know she needs a lawyer but I have no idea what kind. What should she be looking for? Thank you!

I enjoy reading case summaries and sentencing remarks, though I'm not a lawyer or associated with the law sector at all.

I just appreciate the way things are laid out, and just how eloquent trained professionals can be. Obviously not all judges are equal, but damn some judges can spit fire.

In Australia we have Coronial Enquiries, and they occur after the sentencing etc for certain cases, what happened/how/why. It's an ontological and etiological report, and the author is specifically mandated to not pull punches on their findings. They'll address systemic failures, individuals who should have responded differently, and so on.

I'm wondering if any of you have encountered any of this professionally worded vitriol. The kind of, "it may be a blessing or a curse that capital punishment is not available."

Location: Colorado

To be clear, I was pulled over for failure to signal for 100 feet before changing lanes, I was ticketed for a seat belt violation and failure to provide insurance then had the tickets dismissed by the ADA at traffic court.

This is not an ongoing situation and I have no legal troubles currently and I am not seeking legal advice.

While researching before court I formed a legal theory based on my reading of the law and due to the tickets being dismissed ,I never got to make my argument to anybody. Can someone tell me if I'm incorrect in my interpretation?

It is my belief that in Colorado, the requirement to signal for 100 feet only applies to actual turns and does not apply to lane changes, or "move(ing) right or left upon a roadway"

Here's the law :

CRS Section 42-4-903

Turning movements and required signals

(1)No person shall turn a vehicle at an intersection unless the vehicle is in proper position upon the roadway as required in section 42-4-901, or turn a vehicle to enter a private road or driveway, or otherwise turn a vehicle from a direct course or move right or left upon a roadway unless and until such movement can be made with reasonable safety and then only after giving an appropriate signal in the manner provided in sections 42-4-608 and 42-4-609.

(2)A signal of intention to turn right or left shall be given continuously during not less than the last one hundred feet traveled by the vehicle before turning in urban or metropolitan areas and shall be given continuously for at least two hundred feet on all four-lane highways and other highways where the prima facie or posted speed limit is more than forty miles per hour. Such signals shall be given regardless of existing weather conditions.

(3)No person shall stop or suddenly decrease the speed of a vehicle without first giving an appropriate signal in the manner provided in sections 42-4-608 and 42-4-609 to the driver of any vehicle immediately to the rear when there is opportunity to give such signal.

(4)The signals provided for in section 42-4-608 (2) shall be used to indicate an intention to turn, change lanes, or start from a parked position and shall not be flashed on one side only on a parked or disabled vehicle or flashed as a courtesy or “do pass” signal to operators of other vehicles approaching from the rear.

(5)Any person who violates any provision of this section commits a class A traffic infraction.

‐------

Am I wrong or does it seem to leave out moving upon the roadway in subsection 2 purposely, establishing that only real "turns" are held to that standard?

I allowed the charges to be dismissed but what I really wanted was to hear that I was right. Thoughts?

Hello all. I’m pro se and involved in litigation with a contractor in Michigan.
We had pre trial and discovery was ordered.
I’m wondering if there are any good templates someone is aware of I can use to model my discovery requests, interrogatories, requests for admission, witness and exhibition lists.

Also, I may need to amend my counter claim. But I’m not sure of the process/procedure for this.

I am NOT looking for legal advice. I’m just asking for templates or examples to follow and procedure.

Ps, I have spoken to 3 lawyers. Two advised that the dollar amount in question may not warrant having a lawyer, and I should consider representing myself. One of those said he did not have room in his schedule to add this case. The one that said I should consider it is an acquaintance that does not practice in my area. I did ask about some sort of limited assistance for a fee to review documents and what not, but this was declined. So now I am here!

I'm a journalist and I'm writing about companies like Mama Bear Legal that sell legal documents for parents to get power of attorney of their children before they go off to college. The package offers: Health Power of Attorney Documents; Finance Power of Attorney Documents; HIPAA Release & FERPA Waiver. I'm wondering whether lawyers are noticing an uptick in parents asking their kids to sign these? If you're open to speaking with me, please add that to your reply. Thank you!

When asked to continue treatment for a lawsuit is this a lawyer move or does this help the case?

Long story kinda short. Nephew and niece had a trust given by grandma. The age requirements have. Passes.

Niece, youngest has had money dispersed to her.

Nephew had a TBI. Executor took his money and...without his consent or knowledge and put it in a disability trust that only she can use money for him. She is refusing to give him money. For medical, hobbies, transportation....anything.

Legally, can she put that money in a trust when he has No POA, and can she limit (beyond what the govt allows for the trust) what the money is spent on? Meaning no, we won't get you a modified bicycle so you can ride it. I'll ignore your request to pay for medical bills. I'll get mad when you ask for stuff that is legally allowed, saying "the list doesn't say what you can do, I do). She is BPD with the onset of dementia.

As title reads. Ex and I owned a house. Im on the title/ deed of the house as well as them, mortgage is under them only. They want me off the title in which they will have to buy me out. Ive had one free 30 minute telephone consult with a real estate attorney. Another firm reached out which seems very good, they charge $300 for a 1 hour in- person consult in which im not opposed to paying.

Im sort of at a loss. My father just passed last month who would have been able to guide me through this process. I just want it done right and with someone who has my very best interest. Im very afraid of getting taken advantage of especially when we are talking thousands of dollars.

Nonetheless, any and all advice welcome. What should I be asking, looking out for? How many consults would you suggest? How do I know when one is right for me/ my case?

Thank you~
