An Argentinian man was awarded $12,500 for invasion of privacy after being photographed naked (bare butt) in his back yard by the Google Maps truck for its Street View feature. While his face was not shown, the appeals court nonetheless determined that the man's privacy was improperly breached...

These are good points. In New York state, I've handled uncontested divorce - a term of art for "quick" divorce where both parties do not disagree (uncontested) on any part of the separation of their assets, children or other matters. Generally speaking and in summary, you need to have paperwork...

Amusing story that happened during work. I was looking at notes taken by our client intake team handling calls from people looking for legal assistance. In one of the notes I see that the potential client had a legal form agreement signed by their spouse that was obtained from "Racket Law."...

Absolutely. The whole point of joint and several liability is to address the landlord's desire to have absolutely no involvement between bickering roommates. It sounds like the rent was going to get paid to the landlord by the remaining tenant, even if it required begging a parent. The only way...

Good to see you in the library and glad you posted here. I did a little research on the road and made a few calls. In short: The items on the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission (not DMV like in New York) website are required on the title, and you will need to turn in your plates. Transferring Vehicle...
