The judge is only required to make sure you have made a voluntary and knowledgeable statement of your guilt. Registration isn't actually considered the penalty so they're not obliged to tell you that it is going to ensue. At this point, the time has long passed to do anything about what...

The First Sale doctrine says that you can resell merchandise (notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary you made when you purchased it). The usual challenges to such resales are improper use of the TRADEMARKS involved. This is where it gets sticky. You can use the trademark to...

Substitution issue is between the attorneys, the court, and the client they represent. The other party doesn't have a bone in that process.

Teachers are usually exempt employees. They are not required to be given overtime pay. Your contract will tell you if you have specific rights to overtime over what the law mandates.

A POA can't do *ANYTHING* after the death of the grantor. That authority ends with death. Information on how to get the second owner/beneficiary is detailed in this article: I Bonds Beneficiary vs Second Owner in TreasuryDirect.

Zddoodah is correct. Nothing on the credit report matters for the SOL. Transfer of a debt to a collection agency also doesn't affect it. It's as he describes.

No, if he was only charged with a the regulation violation (as originaly stated), he won't get anywhere near the real judiciary for quite some time. The case will be heard by an Adminstrative Law Judge. Note that since this isn't a crime, you can't get a public defender nor do any of the...

I'm afraid I have bad news for you. Just because you work for a military contractor doesn't give you any benefit for converting your H1B status. Even if your job fell into an national interest category, the priority date for Indian citizens is way longer than two years. Your job doesn't...

Understand that there is a difference between a single word (especially a descriptive one like cocky) and a full phrase like you posit. Note that it also matters how you used the phrase. I think they're in a rather thin situation if it ever went to court, and it's really easy to write cease...

You shotgun a lot of issues here. I can't even begin to fathom it. If you think you have a medical misdiagnosis that resulted in some (physical) injury, then you should seek a medical malpractice attorney who can take an informed and dispassionate view of the facts and advise you...

If you were only charged with 33 CFR 95, you are looking at a $5000 civil penalty. Whether that makes it worth getting an attorney involved will depend on your situation. If they also charged you with something like 46 USC 2302, you are looking at criminal penalties. If you hold a Mariner...

Believe me, I have exactly what you describe. One of our roads passes straight through the edges of the properties. It's not platted and the property lines are defined via the deed (though they do mention the road) and there is a separate easement both for road ingress and egress and yet...

I disagree. The subdivision plat may show indications of easements or other encumbrances created at the time of the subdivision, then again it may not. As I said, I'm on the board of a 47 lot HOA which has not only private roads plus a runway in the common area. I have a dozen...

Plots [SIC] often aren't defining. You have to look at the historical deed records to find out who owns anything. You also have to check for any easements or the like granted. If the HOA does in fact have some sort of ownership interest in all or part of the property, there are likely...

You're dissing the OED solely because you regard it as a British publication but you appear to have ZERO experience using it. It is quite modern and covers historical and modern British and American English to greater detail that any other English language dictionary I have ever use (and I'm...

The issue is that the ownership division is just part of the problem. You'll want new easements and perhaps some agreement on maintenance going forward. This is going to require an attorney. I'm on a HOA board that (among other things) maintains several private roads, some of which have...

There's more involved than we can possibly answer. You'll have to see if the exactly what the land records involved (ownership of the road, easements, HOA incorporation documents and bylaws, covenants, etc....). A lawyer can research these as well as the laws involved and help you come up...

The publisher's explanation doesn't support your contention at all. It specifically says that the modern definitions are there (and in fact, do track modern changes in both American and British usage) as well as the extensive historical use. I have been an OED subscriber for years, and your...

The OED lists copyright as a verb with history of that use going back to the 1878, meaning "To secure copyright for; to protect by copyright." The noun definitely came first, going back more than a century earlier. Copywrite however is right out, unless you're talking about someone writing...
