However, based on the tenor of the comments and questions by a majority of the Justices of the Court during oral arguments, it appears that there will be no major shift in policy in regard to patent infringement when a product is assembled and sold off the shores of the United States.

Historically, U.S. companies could escape liability for manufacturing and selling products that produced and sold in the U.S. would constitute actionable patent infringement with no negative consequences. However, all of this may change when the U.S. Supreme Court hands down a decision in the seminal case of Corporation v. ATandT Corp. The issue in this case is the actual scope of the imposing liability for patent infringement. That exception had permitted an entity or individual to avoid a components for a patented invention were supplied to an assembler in another country, provided the final product was sold in another country.

ATandT is arguing in the case before the nation's highest court that Microsoft is doing just that by causing that company's digital technology to be assembled and sold in another country. Microsoft is countering that no component as contemplated by the law is involved. Rather, Microsoft contends that only instructions directing the computer how to perform the are included in the Microsoft package being assembled and sold overseas. Microsoft maintains that ATandT needs to obtain foreign patents to protect its interests.

During oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court, Justices Souter and Bryer both expressed concern that a ruling in favor of ATandT would expose many high-tech enterprises to liability under the U.S. patent .

The only apparent support for ATandT's position during the oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court came from Justice Kennedy. He said that he did have sympathy for the ATandT position regarding the component issue that was raised before the Court. The Chief Justice has recused himself from the case.

The government is ordinarily quite willing to let you have the benefit but at times it happens that you think you are entitled to the benefits but the authorities think otherwise. So, where to go? Do you need to file for reconsideration?

If the reconsideration application is rejected, go in for a before the Administrative Law Judge. Your case will be given a thorough and independent examination here. And you'll be given a full hearing with every chance to present your case in detail. An expert may also be called to give his opinion on the status of the claimant's disability.

If your case is rejected here the next appeal lies before the National Appeals Council, which is headquartered in Washington. This is an independent review of the 's decision. The appeals council does not conduct a hearing.

If the Council also with the decisions of the earlier forum and rejects your appeal, you may institute a lawsuit in the federal court. This is part of a formal civil litigation and by you put in motion the judicial machinery of the state. The lawsuit will be contended by the authorities through a lawyer and it is advisable that you too hire one so that you do not suffer due to inadequate representation before the federal court.

In case the federal court decides against you, you may approach the against the decision. If the appeal fails, the only option you are left with is the Supreme Court, which is the apex judicial body.

It is not mandatory for one to hire a lawyer to represent one at any stage. However, if your initial appeals have not found favor with the authorities while you feel that your case has merit, it is better that you let a file a lawsuit for you so as to make sure that no legal point in your favor escapes the notice of the judge.

If you do not hire a lawyer before reaching the stage when you have to approach the Supreme Court, it would make things difficult for you because the apex court is unlikely to allow a fresh legal contention that was not raised before any of the earlier appeals. It is, therefore, advisable that you get yourself a lawyer the moment you decide to set the judicial machinery of the state in motion.

Considering copyright infringement is something that isn't as easily defined as theft or speeding, there are numerous changing the way is viewed in the U.S. By reviewing a few of these copyright infringement cases, you can get a better idea of what is, and what is not, acceptable use of copyrighted works.

As a forward, however, you'll need to know something about copyright law. Most copyright lawsuits are brought to the courts because a copyright owner has found their copyright is being used outside the copyright laws. This usually means the copyright holder hadn't been asked for permission to use the work; or if they had, the work is not being used in an agreed-upon context or they have not been paid royalties. The copyright infringement cases, listed below, sample of what goes to the in copyright infringement.

v. Rural (6th Cir. 1996)

This copyright infringement case was brought to the Supreme Court in 1996 regarding the copyright of a database. The Supreme Court, in this instance, decided that compilations of data (such as in a database) are only protected by copyright when they are "arranged and selected in an original manner." Although the level of originality needed to make the database copyright-able is not very high, the pages of a directory (such as a phone book) are not protected because the data contained therein is arranged geographically, then alphabetically. Because of this, the data was not original enough to warrant a copyright infringement charge. The competing telephone company was allowed to tap into their competitors' database and use that data in their own work without liability.

v. Michigan Document Services, Inc (6th Cir 1996)

This case has to do with the Fair Use law, which is defined in the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. =A7 107. In this case, a photocopying service was sued for copyright infringement for making "course packs" for the University of Michigan. In this case, a course pack was a group of reading materials assigned by a professor -- then the course pack was bound together by a professional copy shop.

In the Fair Use system, there is a system available for payment of copyright fees to publishers whose works are used in course materials. The printing shop owner refused to pay the copyright cost. When it went to the Supreme Court, they analyzed the Fair Use code and found that it was NOT Fair Use, and the printing shop had to pay the copyright costs.

As you can see, copyright infringement cases are cases in which someone violates the rights of a copyright owner, as provided by 17 USC =A7106, or of the author as provided in =A7106A. These copyright infringement cases can be taken to either criminal or civil court, and can carry with it a hefty fine.

Copyright infringement cases are brought upon people who violate copyrights every day. In recent times, you'll find many copyright cases in relation to electronic copyrights -- such as those you'd find on a website or PDF file, as well as other digital media such as music and audio files.

It's probable that you've seen copyright cases brought against the common person -- such as a child or family -- for downloading digital music in the form of MP3s. In the current Internet age, it's not surprising to see so many music and video copyright cases brought to us because of peer to peer file sharing made possible by the Internet. You can be certain that until people know the rules of copyright, and downloading copyrighted material from the Internet, we'll see many more copyright cases.

The Act represents a major progression in the regulation of civil litigation in NSW. For the first time in history in the Supreme, District and Local Courts and the will be governed by one set of common rules.

The sections of various Acts that have been moved into the CP Act are largely sections governing common procedural, as opposed to substantive matters. Those sections include matters of common concern to all the courts such as, case management regimes, costs and interest.

The Act will also streamline and simplify procedures and remove unnecessary differences between courts. It will lead to time and costs savings for the courts, the legal profession and the public. The Act also makes provisions allowing courts to utilise new technologies such as electronic lodgement of documents by clients and more efficient court management practice.

The Uniform Civil Procedure project, which formulated the Act and its accompanying rules, commenced in early 2003. A working party was established and chaired by Justice Hamilton of the Supreme Court of . The party consisted of representatives of the District Court, the Local Court, the Bar Association, the and the Attorney General's Department.

The guiding philosophy of this process was to deliver a common set of rules across the various levels of jurisdiction within the NSW judicial system. Under this policy three specific goals were targeted; to provide a common set of rules, simplified where possible, but without radical changes in substance or form.

The Civil Procedure Bill was finalised in September 2004.

The new Act and rules generally apply to civil proceedings in the Supreme, District and Local Courts and the Dust Diseases Tribunal. The Act and rules largely reflect existing provisions and continue to use phrases that have a settled legal meaning. The Civil Procedure Act contains some provisions moved form the Supreme Court Act 1970, the District Court Act 1973 and the Local Courts (Civil Claims Act) 1970.

A number of acts have been repealed in the wake of the new Act. Statutes that regulate civil procedure such as the Arbitration (Civil Actions) Act 1983, the Damages (Infants and Persons of Unsound Mind) Act 1929, the Judgment Creditors Remedies Act 1901 and the Local Courts (Civil Claims) Act 1980.

The relevant provisions of these Acts that have survived the consolidation process have generally been moved into the CP Act and rules and the Local Courts Act 1982.

Despite the prevailing policy of the project to streamline civil procedure and create a uniform regime, some differences between different courts have been maintained. In most instances this was a matter of practicality. The approach adopted recognises the fact that not all proceedings are the same. For example simple debt claims in a Local Court should not be subject to the same requirements as complex proceedings in the Supreme Court.

In other cases time constraints prevented the working party from moving specialist civil rules regarding probate and appeals to the Court of Appeal into uniform rules. It is intended that work will commence on moving these specialist rules into the uniform rules after the commencement of the initial set. The Corporations Rules and the Admiralty Rules, will not be moved into the uniform rules because they operate on a federal basis and are therefore apply nationally.

The main changes in terms of structure are moving directions and case management rules to an early position in the CP Act. This step was taken to embody the overriding purpose to give effect to the requirement of a just, quick and cheap disposal of proceedings.

Apart from the above alteration to structure the order of the Supreme Court Rules and the District Court Rules has essentially been maintained, that is, the process from beginning to end. This has been done to keep the rules both logical and familiar to users.

The CP Act gives a statutory basis for the issue of practice notes and regulates the relationship between itself, the CP rules and the remaining balance of the present rules. The senior judicial officer will be able to issue practice notes to deal with specific aspects of civil proceedings in a court. Under the operation of s 15 of the Act the practice notes will be subject to the CP rules and they will be disallowable under Part 6 of the Interpretation Act.

Furthermore s 17 allows the Uniform Rules Committee to approve forms for use in civil proceedings. New simple common forms address a number of concerns that have been raised about the existing forms and will meet future electronic filing requirements. The forms are available on court websites, at court registries and via legal publishing companies.

This simplified set of common forms will be used in all courts. This helped to give effect to an important objective of the project as it will save on costs. Practitioners will only have to keep one set of forms on their records and fill the required categories depending on which court they were in.

In all three courts there are to be two forms only of originating process, that is, statement of claim and summons. Additionally the rules as to pleadings and discovery and interrogatories are to be maintained.

The recently harmonised rules that have been adopted on a federal level regarding subpoenas are to be adopted by the CP Act.

What does this mean to you? Will the be knocking down your home door to arrest you? Is it safe to leave the house? Should you turn yourself in? First you will need to find out if a court arrest warrant has even been issued. If so, what happens next depends on a lot of things.

Finding out if a court arrest warrant has been issued is as easy as picking up the telephone and calling the clerk of . They will be able to inform you exactly what measures have been taken by the court, and they should be able to tell you who holds the court arrest warrant, too. The arrest warrant may have been passed on to the city police or the county sheriff. Maybe both authorities hold your warrant, as well as the state patrol, the FBI, the Federal Marshall's office. The list of who can arrest you on a court arrest warrant is quite exhaustive. Who holds your warrant depends largely on what your crime was and how badly the court wants you arrested.

If you failed to appear in court for a ticket and a court arrest warrant was filed, then it is possible that the police will knock on your door looking for you. It is more likely, however that they will simply wait for you to make a mistake, like not using your turn signal, and arrest you when they pull you over. If you are a suspected terrorist, however, then you can expect heavily armored men in black masks and serving the court arrest warrant.

Once you have found out that a court arrest warrant has been issued, it is always best to turn yourself in immediately to the authorities that hold the warrant. The first reason for turning yourself in is that you won't have to constantly be looking over your shoulder to see if someone is there ready to slap on the cuffs. You will also be treated much better when you cooperate, both by the arresting authorities as well as when you show up for court. Many times when you turn yourself in for a court arrest warrant, your sentence will be much lighter than if you evaded the warrant and the authorities had to hunt you down.

Often court arrest warrants and records are available online. Try looking up the court you were supposed to appear in and see if they have an online records search. Simply type in the information it asks for, usually your name, address, social security number, etc. Any records of court arrest warrants, as well as other records about you, will come up. This information might include the date that the court arrest warrant was issued, if and when it expires, and who is authorized to serve the court arrest warrant.To learn exactly what Court Arrest Orders you need, visit www.courtarrestrecords.com where you'll find everything you need to know about the Court Arrest Orders and much more.]]> Sales Tax - E-commerce And Small Business http://www.artwoo.com/article/sales-tax-e-commerce-and-small-business http://www.artwoo.com/article/sales-tax-e-commerce-and-small-business#comments Fri, 30 Nov 2007 12:30:00 +0000 mail order salescalifornia sales taxtexas sales taxcontactstate governmentsphysical presencesuzie http://www.artwoo.com/article/sales-tax-e-commerce-and-small-business physical presence in a state, it is not required to collect sales tax for sales into that state. This rule originated from a 1992 Supreme Court decision which declared that mail-order merchants did not need to collect sales taxes for sales into states where they did not have a physical presence.

Online shoppers who live in a state that collects sales tax are officially required to pay the tax to the state even when an Internet retailer does not collect it. When shoppers are required to pay tax directly to the state, it is referred to as "use" tax instead of sales tax.

The revenue collection agencies in most states now have some kind of formal position on e-commerce sales. Most states treat the sales in the same way they treat mail-order sales; however, you should your state tax agency and ask for help and information with regard to your particular business to be sure.

and brick-and-mortar retailers are in the hunt for legislation to overturn the 1992 Supreme Court ruling. Missing out on tax revenue from online purchases is maddening for state governments, so expect changes in the future.

Practical example: found the perfect birthday present for her husband but can't find them in California, so she orders the gift online from a gift shop with headquarters in Texas. The supplier has all of its facilities in Texas and collects payment in Texas. Suzie does not have to pay (or ) on the gift.

A few months later, the online business opens a warehouse in California to handle its online orders for the entire country. Suzie continues to order gifts from the same company in Texas but she must now pay California sales tax.

Should Internet commerce remain exempt from sales taxes to encourage the growth of online business or should it be subject to the same taxation faced by storefront companies is not our place to decide, but it is a concern for all selling and buying online.

There will be several other with their clients. There always seems to be and there will be other people doing the same thing that others are doing. The person's attorney will tell them how to dress, what to say, and how to act. This is important because the judge is paying close attention to the peoples all around appearance.



Without the attorney being present it might attract the judge's eye because the person may wear something that looks expensive or they may say something that a judge might pick up on. There are people that will represent themselves in United States bankruptcy court and it is allowable to do so but it isn't really recommended for people to handle it by themselves.

One question that the judge may ask people is if they understand why they are in the United States bankruptcy court. The attorney will brief their client to answer with yes and to not . The last thing someone should do is to keep talking after answering the judge's question.



Another question that a United States bankruptcy might ask is if this is the persons first time to file bankruptcy or not. If people have filed before and this is not the first time in front of a bankruptcy court, the judge will want to know when the person last filed for protection.

If you are involved in with a party and is locked into dispute over the value of a claim, for example a , you can make what is known as a Part 36 offer to that other party in the dispute.

It is a tactical measure which is frequently used by to resolve disputes over quantum or the value of a claim. If used effectively it can bring the other party in the action to his knees due to the effect it has on cost.

If therefore you are ever involved in a dispute over money as in the case of and the other party makes a 'Part 36 Offer' you or your solicitor needs to take this very seriously indeed.

What is a part 36 offer?

So what exactly is a Part 36 Offer? I explain this in some depth in my book `The Personal Injury Claims Guide for DIY Claimants' which also provides other tactics in personal injury claims negotiations.

Basically, a Part 36 offer is made pursuant to Part 36 of the which were brought into effect in 1998 under Lord Justice Woolf.

Part 36 Payments to County Courts and High Court .

Previously, the procedure existed but was known as a `Payment Into Court' under which a physical payment was made to the court following the . If proceedings were in one of the County courts then the payment was made to that particular court.

If the claim was of a higher value than the county or it was a case involving complex issues as dealt with in the High Court then payments were made to the Accountant General of the Supreme Court.

More recently you do not need to make a physical payment into court and a suitably drawn Part 36 offer letter is sufficient for these purposes.

The Part 36 offer must be sufficiently detailed to enable the other party to see how the offer is made up. You cannot just state an amount in your offer letter and expect the other party to accept it without stating how you arrive at the offer made.

The offer would not be effective in these circumstances and you would lose the main benefit of a Part 36 offer which is to protect you in respect of costs.

Costs.

Once an effective Part 36 offer has been made the other party in the negotiation has 21 days to respond to the offer. He is not bound to accept your offer and may very well decline your offer and counter-offer with his own Part 36 offer.

If agreement cannot be reached the offers stay on record until the trial of the case.During this time the judge is not made aware of the offers as this would prejudice his decision at trial when awarding compensation otherwise known as damages.

If these offers were to be revealed to him he could favour one or either of the parties and make an award to benefit that party.

Judgment award.

Once the judgment amount is known if this lower than the Part 36 offer by even a penny then the other party must pay all his own costs and those of the party making the Part 36 offer. These costs include the full trial costs and all costs incurred from the date the Part 36 offer was made.

The burden of costs is therefore extremely high for the losing party who fails to beat a Part 36 offer. You cannot therefore afford to ignore a Part 36 offer and bury this in the files for months or years before going to trial.

All Part 36 offers need to be given the serious consideration they deserve at the time they are made.

While different teachers - and curricula - alter the format somewhat, the basics are the same.

Overview

This section contains the and an assessment of how much ground the class has covered in the topic area. The the importance of the lesson within the context of the subject matter. It the topic is , the overview might discuss the impact of high court decisions on everyday Americans.

Purpose

This section defines the overall goal of the lesson, both mandated academic requirements and actual educational value. Writing lesson plans should always include both elements, but it is important that the mandated goal not overshadow the learning involved.

* Personalize the . Write the lesson plan to define your purpose for each student: 'Every student will understand the importance of the First Amendment within the context of his personal life and the context of any professional goals he might have.'

Objective

The objective defines the activities to be completed and the learning to be accomplished. The students will have examined ten Supreme Court decisions and discussed their constitutional impact. They will have learned the manner in which cases come to the court, and impact that rulings have on current statutory law.

* Provide an example drawn from real life. Discuss how a civil rights decision forced dozens of states to rewrite school requirements. Writing lesson plans should include drama provided by dynamic examples.

Resources/Materials

When writing lesson plans every teacher lays out the material requirements for the lesson to be taught. This includes textbooks, access requirements, any multimedia tools to be employed, and current events materials such as newspapers or magazines.

One site to consider is: http://4booklovers.com

* Ask the student to bring forth an example of the lesson topic's impact. A little guidance here will produce interesting stories. The relationship between Title XX of the Civil Rights Act and our professional female athletes, thirty five years later. As much as possible, write a lesson plan that highlights the potential impact of the topic on the individual student

Activities and Procedures

Usually, when writing lesson plans these sections discuss the classroom specifics. There is a list of daily activities that proscribe development of the overall lesson.

* Include a timetable. Don't just keep it in your head; itemize it in your plan.

+ Tying it all Together/Closure

This section can be not only a summation of the lesson, but a look forward. Here the lesson plan can connect what the students knew at the beginning and where the lesson has taken them. When writing lesson plans, you can also hint at what is to come next time. Teresa Styles helps parents and teachers become more effective helping children learn and enjoy learning.

Houston Schools will have to make some decisions in years to come based on both of these results. The Supreme Court decision has been brewing for decades. While Houston Schools do not use race as admission to magnets, the specialized schools were started for the purpose of desegregation. And the current battle over the issue of achieving racially balanced schools by using race as a factor is a tense one. Houston Schools won't have to make changes to its magnets, as other schools in the country will. But =96 the Houston Schools will still need to focus on ways to address the huge .

The , conducted by Cecelia Rouse, a professor of economics and public affairs, released some disturbing statistics for both Houston Schools and the entire state of Texas. Individually, every high school drop-out costs the United States $260,000. In Texas, only 66.8% of high schoolers make it to graduation. And a 2006 article reported that less than 50% of Houston Schools students graduate on time. In that same year the Princeton Study reported that drop-outs cost the state of Texas over $31 billion.

What explains these numbers? Educators in Houston Schools aren't surprised by the numbers. They have know for years facts that the study cites from numerous sources; that high school graduates in the Houston Schools (and the nation) are less likely to become teen parents than drop-outs; they raise healthier and better educated children; commit less crimes; and use less public services (welfare, food stamps) and less government healthcare. It's the cumulative cost of these factors that make the drop-out rate so costly for Houston Schools.

How is that affected by the recent Supreme Court Ruling? The question is race. Houston Schools face a significant gap in graduation rates between white and non-white students. In 2006 the racial breakdown of the percentage of students who graduated on time from Texas Schools looked like this: Asians 83%, Whites 75%, African-Americans 60% and Hispanics 25%. Houston Schools follow these numbers closely.

Although Houston Schools magnet programs aren't currently affected by the new ruling, expect to see more changes on the horizon. The ruling only prohibits schools from using race as the single determining factor for admission to magnet programs. It still leaves room for questions about- using it as one of many factors, the role of charter schools, and the multitude of ways schools try to achieve racial balance. The parents of Houston Schools students are torn. Some are ready to scrap any evidence of racial profiling for use in academics. Others fear that the elimination of attempts to balance racial mix will result in a return to largely segregated schools where minority and low income students suffer in the worst areas, in crumbling buildings, and with the least qualified teachers.

This union of one's small "I" with the Cosmic "I" is also known as . Anyone who has ever tried to meditate knows that achieving the final goal of yoga is not as easy as it sounds. Many people, in fact, give up the pursuit before they reach the goal. Despite this seeming difficulty there is a simple technique that can put the achievement of ultimate bliss within the reach of everyone.

Before I reveal the "greatest secret of the universe" it is useful to understand how the process of meditation actually works. "As you think, so you become" is the principle upon which meditation is based. If you think about something that is limited or small, then your mind becomes small.

On the other hand, if you forget about the physical world around you, turn your attention within and begin concentrated thinking on an infinite object your mind begins to expand. If you continue the process in a systematic way, regularly every day, then your individual consciousness will one day merge with the Supreme Consciousness.

The greatest obstacle on this path is your own . Of course you need an ego to even begin meditation. After all it only when you say "I will today" that you can get started. However, during the process of meditation it becomes bothersome if instead of thinking about the Supreme Consciousness you begin to think about "my job", "my house, "my car" and other things connected with your everyday life.

With constant practice you can overcome your attachment to mundane objects and one day arrive at a when there will only be one thought in your mind, "I am the Supreme Consciousness." This is a great achievement (known in yoga as Savikalpa Samadhi) but even in this state your "I" feeling still exists. As long as your feeling of individual consciousness exists, you will remain separate from with the Supreme Consciousness.

Here is where the "greatest secret of the universe" can help you out. Normally when you meditate, you are the subject and the Supreme Consciousness is the object of your thoughts. If you turn it all around and think that the Supreme Consciousness is the subject and you are his object then your meditation will change dramatically.

It will become much easier to remain in a meditative state when you think that the Supreme Consciousness is all around you, witnessing you, meditating on you. Instead of trying to meditate on the Supreme Consciousness, let him meditate on you! What could be simpler?

As simple as this technique is, it is the key to reaching a state where there is no feeling of your individual "I" and only the oneness of blissful union with the infinite.

There is an old story that illustrates this process. A seeker came to a door and knocked. A voice asked, "Who's there?" The seeker responded, "I am here." The door remained locked and there was no reply from within. The seeker returned another day and tried once more. Again when asked "Who's there?" he replied "I am here." And again he failed to enter.

Finally one day he knocked at the door and when the voice asked, "Who's there?" he replied, "Thou" and the door opened for him.

But it's not easy. You really need to know what you are doing. You must know in which county court the arrest took place. You will also need to know the full name of the person who was arrested as well as some other information about him or her. Addresses where the person has lived, age, date of birth, date of the crime or , ; all of these things can be helpful in searching for court arrest records.

You can certainly search court arrest records with just the person's first and last name, but you need to know that there will be more than one person with that name in the system. A middle initial is very helpful, as well as knowledge of any other names that person might have gone by, such as a shortened name, nickname or an alias. All of these might be included in court arrest records.

If you want to find court arrest records for free, the best way to do it is to go to the courthouse where the person was sentenced and find out where they keep their records. Because of the Act signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966 the courts have to make this information available to the public, unless the records have been expunged for some reason, but this is rare. The courts are not required to make it easy for you, though. They will direct you to where to find the court arrest records you are looking for, but it is not likely that anybody will help you find what you need. You could spend hours, or even days looking for the court arrest records you need, often with little or no results because you aren't really sure what you're doing.

You can find court arrest records from home on the internet, but only some counties offer this information for free, and even many of those have limits on how far back you can search. Typically these websites are limited either by law, because in some states you are only allowed to see court arrest records for a certain number of years and then they disappear off of the person's records, or you can search back to the date that the website was set up, which could only be a couple of years.

There are private databases that contain information that the general public cannot get for free, if at all. These are the databases that private investigators have access to, for a fee. This is why when you search for court arrest records online you find so many websites offering to do the search for you for a fee. The more information you want, the higher the fees will be. Only you can decide if it is worth it to pay for a court arrest records search by a professional, but if you do you are sure to get more than what you could have found on your own, and often in a very short amount of time.To learn how to find arrest records by visiting www.findarrestrecords.com where you'll find everything you need to know including the union county nc arrest records area and much more.]]> Are Prenuptial Agreements Affected By Changed http://www.artwoo.com/article/are-prenuptial-agreements-affected-by-changed http://www.artwoo.com/article/are-prenuptial-agreements-affected-by-changed#comments Fri, 21 Apr 2006 09:50:08 +0000 prenuptial agreementsunfortunatelyprenuptial agreementnew jersey supreme courtcontractscontract principlesdivorce lawyers http://www.artwoo.com/article/are-prenuptial-agreements-affected-by-changed s, sign the agreement with the expectation that the agreement will be enforceable and will give them the future protection that they seek. Fundamentally, we are talking about a contract between competent adults, which should ordinarily be enforceable and not subject to modification. , prenuptial agreements are routinely attacked at the time when party or the other seeks to invoke its terms.

Clients must therefore understand that for goods or services are different than contracts between married people, or between those who plan to be married. In New Jersey, the in the case known as Lepis V. Lepis, created the quintessential loophole, enabling potentially endless modifications of family support provisions, regardless of whether they were ordered by the Court or stipulated to by the parties. The only requirement for this review is a significant and relevant change of circumstances.

Such contract-loosening changes are typically required to be unanticipated, substantial and non-temporary. The powder keg language of Lepis reads as follows: " have little place in the law of domestic relations." That being said, NJ must pay close attention to five key points.

First, it is important to note that properly drawn prenuptial agreements are given the initial presumption of validity. By "properly drawn" we mean that the parties were independently represented by counsel, that there was no coercion or duress, that there was an appropriate level of financial disclosure, and that the agreement was essentially fair.

At the time of attempted enforcement by one party, the burden of proof for showing that the agreement is somehow unconscionable is borne by the party seeking to avoid enforcement. Otherwise, the prenuptial agreement should be enforced.

Second, a prenuptial agreement will not be considered to be unconscionable unless it can be shown that enforcement of the agreement will result in a standard of living for any party that is "far below that which was enjoyed before the marriage."

Third, soon after the Supreme Court's finding in Lepis, clever New Jersey divorce attorneys came up with the idea of incorporating anti-Lepis clauses into their property settlement agreements. This sort of thinking can be applied to the drafting of a prenuptial agreement as well. Such clauses can prevent alimony liabilities, or can ostensibly limit them in the event of divorce. To add yet another level of complexity, the anti-Lepis clause itself can be the subject of a modification motion. As equivocal as this may sound, sometimes these clauses are enforceable, and sometimes they are not.

Fourth, if the objective is to attack an antenuptial agreement at the time of attempted enforcement, the New Jersey divorce lawyer is wise to read the case of Marchall v. Marchall. In Marchall, the Court stated that antenuptial agreements should be regarded as subject to modification by reason of "changed circumstances" in the same manner as property settlement agreements. This statement, however, was only in dictum, and does not fall into the category of binding precedent. Notably, Marchall was only a Trial Court decision, and therefore not binding on the courts of other counties, as an Appellate level or Supreme Court level decision would be. The Marchall decision was also decided four years prior to the adoption of the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act in 1988. Furthermore, the Marchall decision predated the Appellate level decision in Morris v. Morris, which case expressed the teter totter viewpoint that sometimes anti-Lepis clauses are enforceable and sometimes they are not.

Fifth, the case of Pacellii v. Pacelli must also be explored. In Pacelli, a mid-nuptial agreement was involved. This agreement was entered into between the parties some 11 years after their marriage and after having two children. The Appellate Division refused to enforce this agreement. The Appellate panel found that the agreement was unfair when it was entered into in 1986 and likewise unfair when enforcement was sought in 1994. The Court did not believe that such mid-nuptial agreements should be treated the same way antenuptial agreements are treated. The Appellate Division opined that "the dynamics and pressures involved in a mid-marriage context are quantitatively different."

When a prenuptial agreement is executed under circumstances devoid of coercion or duress and where the requirements of the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act are met, Lepis should not apply, and the agreement should not be modified. The only exception would be under the unconscionability standard of the act. Ironically, that is exactly the same standard that was used for modification of New Jersey matrimonial agreements prior to Lepis, under Schiff v. Schiff.

When it hits town, it will hit hard, and will reshape the landscape of courtrooms everywhere.



Saving Time and Emotions It's easy to understand why technology-savvy courthouses are exploring the option of videoconferencing in court trials. After all, this technology is cost-efficient. Think of how much the state can save if it doesn't have to transport inmates to the s and back. Additionally, videoconferencing in court trials strengthens the safety of . This is especially true of high-profile and highly volatile cases that involve emotionally-charged confrontations between the and the accuser.

Videoconferencing in court trials also allows to maintain their dignity. The media frequently turns hearings into a circus if these involve celebrities and high-profile individuals. Videoconferencing in court trials saves defendants needless grief from negative media exposure.

Another benefit of using videoconferencing in court trials is time. By eliminating the need for personal appearances in the halls of justice, arraignment procedures can be much shorter and go much quicker. With use of videoconferencing in court trials, there'd be no need to postpone hearings just because the accused is set to undergo surgery, or is in rehab.



Saving Millions The idea that videoconferencing in court trials is feasible took root in U.S courts in the summer of 2006. At the time, court systems nationwide had only begun to realize the huge impact the technology can have on the over-all budget of the justice department.

Since then, video conferencing in court trials have gained wide acceptance. In fact, it is used all the time in conducting legal procedures that involve lawyer - client consultations, depositions, police interrogations, and the safe processing of inmates.

Videoconferencing in court trials has enabled the justice department to save millions. As a matter of fact, within the first year of using video conferencing in court trials, the West Virginia Supreme Court saved the state a whopping $30 million in transportation costs.



Ruling in Favor of Videoconferencing Ultimately, videoconferencing in court trials not only opens up a whole new world of judicial enforcement, it also offers a potential solution to many of the most challenging issues surrounding the justice system and the legal profession the world over.



"We've only just begun to scratch the surface in terms of helping this market realize the full potential of the technology for reducing the costs and headaches of travel and boosting productivity," says Ron Goldman, founder of Video TeleCon's i2i Network, one of the tech mavericks who saw the need for technology that could meet lawyers' requirements for in-person communication despite distance and time constraints. Recently, some lawyers in different states have even already explored the use of videoconferencing in court trials to coordinate mass tort suites of national concern, such as those around diet drug, tobacco and asbestos litigation.

Indeed, for as long as videoconferencing in court trials continually proves its usefulness in the portals of court houses in serving justice quickly and without prejudice, it will see action in courtrooms even quicker than the judge can pounds his gavel.

I always wonder how they stay under control despite all the things that happen around them in the court of law. As the parades of witnesses come and go, you can see them pound away or talk into the equipments that help them do their jobs.

It is obvious very few people pay attention or understand the equipments that help court reporters perform their jobs so efficiently. In this article, I examine these equipments.

The court reporter uses two primary equipments in the performance of his or her job. They are the Stenograph and the .

I will start out by talking about the stenograph.

The stenograph also known as stenotype is a specialized typewriter used by court reporters to do their jobs. It is designed to allow for . The keyboard is compact like that of a piano. The symbols on the keyboard are phrases or words. They are translated or transcribed in real-time to computers.

A good court reporter using a stenotype can type up to words per minute. It is this speed that allows the court reporter to capture all the things said in the court of law.

The number one manufacturer of the stenotype machine is the . The corporate headquarter is at Mount Prospect, Illinois. They manufacture manual or automated machines. Some of them are even wireless.

The second and last court reporter equipment I will cover is the Silencer. The silencer is a hand held mask that contains a microphone. The reporter uses this silencer for voice writing.

Using the voice-writing method, a court reporter speaks directly into the silencer. As the reporter repeats the testimony into the recorder, the mask on the silencer prevents the reporter from being heard during testimony. The silencer records everything that is said by judges, witnesses, attorneys, and other parties in the court. The silencer can even capture gestures and emotional reactions.

A leading manufacturer of silencers is the AudioScribe Corporation. They are located in Breaux Bridge, LA.

There you have it. If you were ever wondering about court reporters and their equipment, you don't have to wonder any more.

Here they are:

Make sure you are well dressed. If you are dressed inappropriately, it will be seen as an insult to the court...and this is NOT going to help your case.

ALWAYS be polite and to everyone there. This includes the judge, the , and the police officer. Also, remember that these people know each other very well. Always be nice to these people.

The idea of is for the movies. It doesn't work like this in real life. Remember the only thing separating you and a conviction is evidence.

If you admit to anything in the court room, the charge against you can be changed at a moments notice. You can be found guilty if it comes from your own mouth. If anyone in the court room (judge, or prosecutor) asks you anything whatsoever about the ticket, be courteous...and say you would prefer not to testify against yourself.

Remember that the proof required in criminal cases is beyond reasonable count. The in all of this is reasonable. If you don't challenge the evidence, it will be presumed reasonable by everyone in the court room.

Remember that you are being charged for a specific speed. Not just for driving fast. The prosecution will try to show evidence that you were driving a specific amount over the limit, not that you were simply driving "fast".

You do not need to try and prove your innocence. You simply need to prove that the prosecutions evidence is either unreliable, or is inadmissible. This is an important distinction which you need to keep in mind.

Bankruptcy judges that preside over the bankruptcy court cases are appointed for a fourteen year term by the United States court of appeals.

In technical terms, the US district courts are authorized to handle bankruptcy cases, though each such district needs to refer bankruptcy matters to the bankruptcy court. Initially at least, all matters relating to bankruptcy are handled by the bankruptcy court.

However, if circumstances are unusual, the district court can withdraw the reference or take the bankruptcy case away from the bankruptcy court and decide upon the matter itself. Most of the bankruptcy matters are handled by a bankruptcy judge sitting in a bankruptcy court who may pass decisions on these matters which will be final except for appeals to the district judge who may review such decisions.
