Slight spelling differences alone won't typically get you out from answering the lawsuit. What the court looks at is whether the correct person was served, not whether the plaintiff got the name exactly right. The misspelling will require the plaintiff do a little more to convince the court...

You either accept the offer being made or reject it and try to bargain for interest to be added into the deal. If the company holds firm on the offer or pulls it altogether you might not have any recourse. You have a key problem working against you here: it appears that after the first year you...

If done well the effort will do a lot of good in slimming down an overly large federal government. Every few decades the federal government needs to be slimmed down because government by its nature tends to grow over the years and end up bigger and more expensive than needed to carry out the...

The decisions of the "judge" in Wapner's People's Court and Judge Judy's first show were legally binding. Litigants in small claims court and similar relatively minor but potentially entertaining disputes were contacted and offered a deal whereby they would abandon the lawsuit and instead come...

Part of the answer to your question is revealed in the article: recreational use of drugs. Taking any substance that alters a person's ability to think and their perception of the world increases the risk of bad things happening, either to themselves or others. The use of such substances is...

It appears that you consider his approval ratings going up a few points over the last several weeks to be "skyrocketing". It doesn't come anywhere close to my definintion of skyrocketing. He's still hovering at leas than 50% approval rating in most polls and the number of people who think the...

I liked that song when it came out. There's no way that song would be a hit on the charts today.

That's what she was hired to: make changes that she thinks will draw in more viewers to better compete with CNN. MSNBC can't afford to just leave things as they are.

I was dismayed by Trump's firing of top military officers based primarily on his view of their political positions and his wish to have strong supporters at the head of the military. The military, IMO, has served us well for many decades without this kind of political meddling. If the officers...

Regulations like this strike me as a regulatory agency with too little to do looking to justify its existence. I agree with the EU MP who said it was best left to national/local legislation whether to ban caffeine, just as that kind of ban would be best left to the states in the U.S. rather than...

I won't hazard a guess on the number of Republicans who don't like much of what Trump and especially Musk have said and done in the last month, but there is at least a politically significant number of them and those numbers may keep growing unless Trump can stop the chaos he's created and start...

Correct, it would have to pass Congress first before Trump can sign off on it and implement it.

Until very recently Musk didn't act at all like someone who knew he lacked authority to do things on his own. Maybe it was just his big ego getting in the way of saying the right thing? :D In any event he did do some things that Trump did not approve of and Trump's team had a discussion with...

Only he knows if what he said was true and he's no longer around to explain his opinion. :) What I know of Judith Sheindlin is that she often very brusque and can be easily irritated or angered, especially when she thinks someone is wasting her time. I've known judges like that. Few attorneys...

Look, it's pretty simple: if you are uncomfortable with the attorney don't hire him and don't hire another from that firm. The judge and jury will only know he went to the same high school as you did at the same time if you tell them. Whether the attorney takes the case out of pity, or because...

It looks like the President's team may have finally drilled it into Musk's head that he doesn't have any authority to authorize things on his own and needs to make the suggestions/recommendations to Trump instead. If so, that's a step in the right direction in calming the chaos that Trump and...

Judith Sheindlin, aka Judge Judy, played things up on the show for the TV ratings and her audience was largely female. So siding more with the female litigants in family law cases isn't so surprising. The "litigants" are in an arbitration proceeding and the show puts up the money for the awards...

As to private employers that is certainly ideal, but the vast majority of companies have no legal requirement to do that. In my state there are former state legislators that are allowed to keep their legislative e-mail accounts and still have a page on the legislature's website. The point being...

I've felt that way for a long time. I tried to point out the warning signs. I respect that you are looking at what's really going on and are willing to change your view of Trump based on how he's actually doing the job. As much as I dislike Trump I didn't think he'd cause this much chaos in less...

Because Musk doesn't know what the hell he's doing and doesn't the proper way to get things done. He talks about "deleting" whole departments and agencies, something neither he nor Trump have the power to doCorporate CEOs and boards can cut their company budgets however they like. They only have...
