Since there are no current regulations pertaining to the unauthorized practice of law by non attorneys, however Vinny (the lawyer) would have the authority to make sure that Lisa follows rules consistent of ABA model rule 5.3, the responsibilities regarding non-lawyer assistants. In re Estate of Divine, the court ruled that non-lawyers could not be held responsible for the supervising attorney’s actions. However, Lisa stepped over the line and contacted her attorney friend in NY, and had him fax fraudulent biographical information on a Judge who Vinny was posing to be. Had she gotten caught, she would be in direct
The District Court found that company management regarded Wilson as disabled when in fact he was not and terminated him as a result of his perceived disability in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The court rejected the company's contention that Wilson was laid off during a reduction in force necessitated by business conditions. During the trial, Wilson's attorneys pointed to an e-mail Phoenix's president Robert Hurst sent to an associate stating Wilson "qualifies for ADA designation and we will have to consider accommodations." But when Wilson requested a larger computer screen and help with typing, his requests were denied. While the court did not rule on the issue of whether the company violated Wilson's ADA rights by failing to provide accommodations, this case shows what employers should not do when trying to determine if an employee is disabled.
[xxii] In the LA Weight Loss case, the company was not hiring men as well as not promoting current male employees because they were male. [xxiii] Lowry’s attempted to avoid discrimination suit by claiming the hiring of only female servers was a “company tradition which affected business.”[xxiv] Both companies settled out of court for amounts over $1 million. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)[xxv] prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

Speers quickly concluded, or so he said, that Medina was unreliable and, therefore, that he had no obligation to inform Brandley’s lawyers. The private attorney she had consulted thought otherwise, however, and brought her to the attention of the defense. Despite the accumulation of new evidence, Judge Coker recommended that Brandley be denied a new trial a recommendation perfunctorily accepted by the Court of Criminal Appeals on December 22, 1986. But by now civil rights activists had coalesced and raised $80,000 to help finance further efforts on Brandley’s behalf. James McCloskey, of Centurion Ministries in Princeton, New Jersey, took on the
Other witnesses enlightened the jury on the unusual position of John Diamond’s gun on the morning of the murder. It was loaded, cocked, and in the waist band of the experienced police officer and marine. The defense called upon witnesses that concurred in Mr. Diamond teaching Trudi ways in which to disarm a person with a weapon when she felt threatened. This statement brings up another point for why the second round went through her wrist, she was trying to disarm her lover in fear of her
The Ewells' plan was revealed transparently. In Mayella's testimony, Atticus asked her a series of questions like why no one came to help her, especially her seven siblings when she had claimed to have hollered, or whether or not Bob had beaten her up. All Mayella did was to remain silent, because their spurious story didn't add up after all and she didn't know how to answer those questions. The facts were clearly showed: no one had beaten her up but her own father. So when they announced the verdict, I was so shocked that I was nearly knocked of the chair.
I know that you’ll find a way to get me out of here John, to prove to the people that I am innocent and so are the others. I have faith in you John even if I don’t seem to show it, but answer me this. Do you have faith in yourself? I’m see that you finally see Abigail for what she really is a manipulative and jealous child. I’m glad that you decided to testify against her.
the defense lawyer for the Sarah Good witchcraft trial, and I am pleading for you to compromise and understand the facts. Sarah Good may have been part of the lower class and was looked down upon but she was well known by some of her neighbors she had seemed to be “pleasant and friendly.” You have come up with these wild attacks on my client, has it occurred to you that all these accusations may merely be lies from the community to get rid of this innocent human. “Sarah Good what evil spirit have you familiarity with?” “The Examination of Sarah Good” Without solid evidence you try to prove my client guilty and constantly abuse your powers to harass her. From these three children you bring your judgments they are not to be trusted, they
He has not yet lost all hope in the court, but has altered his mind on the subject differently. When Reverend Hale absolutely lost hope is when Mr. Proctor was convicted through Abigail’s false acquisitions when Danworth called goody Proctor to the court room and asked her if her husband was guilty of adultery, and she stated no. Hale rapidly replies “Excellency, it is a natural lie to tell; I beg you, stop now; before another is
Don't worry, I made sure to find out their realnames first, and I'm well aware that Frykowski wouldn't be there because hewasn't an American citizen. I'm still very bothered by this finding because in myown experience (people I know who have died) the death index is 99% accurate.If the only people I knew in my life who died, where the victims of the Mansonfamily, that database would seem to have only a 1 percent accuracy rate. That'sa huge discrepancy. I will never know short of going grave digging why it is thatthere names are missing from this seemingly accurate database.This finding of mine took place about 4 to 6 months
