What you need to prove is that you were terminated due to race, not that the white guys weren't terminated due to race. This is difficult to do, but I think you have a good bit of evidence here to at least give it a try. Talk to an employment attorney in your area. The consultation is usually...

Go on Experian and Pull your credit report. It's free if you only do it every 6 months. You'll see if you actually have a debt, and who the creditor was, and who the creditor is now. If it is a legitimate debt, being collected by a legitimate company, then at least it wasn't fraud. However...

do not, DO NOT, go against that order until the judge changes it. Feel free to take her back to court, but self help is never a good idea when you're talking about court orders. Secondly, it is extremely unlikely that you will be able to recover attorney's fees. It just doesn't happen very often.

term of art, not work of art

If "hosed" isn't a work of art, it damn well SHOULD be!

1. Only if you are being deposed. That said, it is normal practice that both party's attorneys attend. So if you are acting pro se, then you are going to want to be there. 2. You would have to ask the defendant's attorney if he would agree to pushing it back a little. 3. You acknowledged the...

This is shady. I think you should call the police and let them know what happened. This guy can't be going around talking about issuing fake warrants.

It definitely would have been better if you did, but it isn't necessarily the end of your case if you didn't.

Harris and I are in disagreement about this, but I think you should contact a lawyer about possibly bringing a suit against the municipality.

I would say bring a lawyer. Because when they are trying to figure out what bond to set, they are REALLY trying to figure out how much of a flight risk you are. The prosecutor is going to go real high, and an experienced attorney may be able to make a good argument that releases you on your own...

I'm saying they would have a duty to put up a sign if it is cheaper than damages that could arise by them failing to do so. Since this guy already wrecked his bike, it's pretty clear that it would have been cheaper to put up a sign. Remember, there is a universal duty unless the burden of that...

You got hosed. They took your money to paint the apartment, which is illegal. Then they sent you a bill for the power and water they used when painting! What I would do, is write a letter DEMANDING the return of your money, including the money that went to pay the final electricity and water...

Pretty much every law school in the country does a "pro se" divorce clinic, where they will sit down with you and go through all the paper work and I believe even file them for you. Try calling around to some local law schools and find out when they are doing these.

I think they did have a duty. So then lets work in reverse. Remember Learned Hands "caclulus of negligence"? B< PL B is the cost of putting up signs P is the probability that someone would crash if there are no signs L is the gravity of the lost (the cost of the bike) this is a ruined...
