Extractions: How does disadvantage accumulate? Different legal issues and problems will be relevant at different stages of an individual's life. Similarly, different barriers to accessing justice may arise according to one's age. Young people and children For the purposes of this project, children will be defined as a person of up to 11 years of age, and a 'young person' as a person aged between 12 and 25 years. The question of when a person ceases to be 'young' is a matter of some debate. This is particularly so where many benefits and consequences of 'adulthood' legally arise from the age of 18. The age of 25 has been chosen because it is commonly used by welfare groups and other organisations in defining young people. This is largely because government Youth Allowances are payable to full-time students below 25 years of age.

Extractions: The popularity of the Internet, along with advances in digital imaging and desktop publishing, has raised many issues among writers, artists and photographers. Appropriation of intellectual property by pirates can now be accomplished with ease and anonymity. A wealth of information and images abound on the Internet that can be copied with a keystroke onto a hard drive. From there, the use of purloined property is limited only by the imagination. Image manipulation software makes it easy to modify an image obtained from another's website. And desktop publishing software makes it possible to take the product of another's research and use it in a newsletter, magazine article or website in a matter of seconds. Nonetheless, knowledge of the law can protect you and your work to some extent. It can also help keep you out of legal trouble by updating you about the rights artists and writers have over the use of their materialsif and when you are tempted to use something you did not create.

If you said 'Yes', think again!! Consider the internet provider in Lithuania or the one person startup in Canada who download the contents of your site onto their servers, change the headers, and are deriving commercial benefits from that content. Consider the professor in California or the faculty staff member in the UK who believe that they have all the justifications for copying your publication without attribution or authorization since they are using it only for non-commercial teaching purposes.

Lawyers form the backbone of this vital system, linking it to society in myriad ways. For that reason, they hold positions of great responsibility and are obligated to adhere to a strict code of ethics. Lawyers , also called attorneys , act as both advocates and advisors in our society. As advocates, they represent one of the parties in criminal and civil trials by presenting evidence and arguing in court to support their client. As advisors, lawyers counsel their clients concerning their legal rights and obligations and suggest particular courses of action in business and personal matters. Whether acting as an advocate or an advisor, all attorneys research the intent of laws and judicial decisions and apply the law to the specific circumstances faced by their client.
Extractions: Introduction Kansas Statutes General Information Choosing a Policy ... Miscellaneous Long-term care is needed when a person is no longer able to care for themselves. The care someone needs can range from help with daily activities to skilled nursing care. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners has published estimates of how much long-term care may cost. In 1991, the cost of one year in a nursing home averaged around $30,000. The cost of receiving skilled nursing care in your own home from a visiting nurse was estimated to cost $12,300. If the only care you needed was personal care from a visiting home health care aide three times a week, the NAIC estimated that this would cost $8,400. These figures have undoubtedly risen since 1991. It is because of this high cost that many people purchase long-term care insurance policies. Long-term care is not covered under the Medicare program. Medicaid does pay for long-term cae, but to receive Medicaid, you must meet federal poverty guidelines for income and assets. Many people must "spend down" a large portion of their assets to become Medicaid eligible. The long-term care insurance policies allow individuals to receive care, should the need arise, without depleting the assets that have been accumulated throughout the years.

Extractions: Financial Services in an Electronic Age: Some Emerging Legal Issues By Alan Gahtan and Jeff Graham - June 1997 Technology is facilitating the creation of new approaches to service delivery and permitting the introduction of new electronic products. For example, a number of major Canadian financial institutions are now offering financial products and services through the Internet. In many cases, their competitors are scrambling to catch up. Some financial institutions view the Internet as an alternative product delivery channel. For others, including the new Citizens Bank of Canada, a subsidiary of Vancouver Savings Credit Union and ING Direct, the trust company subsidiary of ING Bank (Netherlands), the Internet is a primary delivery channel. No proprietary software or private communication network is necessary. Customers can use industry standard Web browser software and must arrange their own access to the Internet through an Internet service provider. The conduct of financial transactions through the Internet is not likely to displace other more traditional channels anytime soon. However, financial institutions appear to be drawn by two factors. The first is the lower transaction costs associated with transactions conducted electronically as opposed to their branch networks. The second attraction is the demographics of customers who are interested in using the Internet to access financial services. One American study projected that with respect to the banking industry, each Internet customer is likely to be 50-250% more profitable than the average banking customer.
Telemedicine And Health Care Informatics Legal Issues Telemedicine And The law Overview of legal issues Presented by Telemedicine, PRIVACY AND THE NII Safeguarding Telecommunicationsrelated Personal http://www.netreach.net/~wmanning/telmedov.htm
Extractions: Last updated by Bill Manning on 8/03/97 The increasing computerization of health care data, combined with the emergence of new telecommunications applications and technologies create vast opportunities for the provision of health care. Some of the legal and regulatory issues, though, seem way behind the curve. This page is devoted to these legal issues. Telemedicine "began" in the 1960s as medical treatment rendered over the telephone and by wire by physicians who were physically remote in relation to the patient. Although today, the principles are largely the same, the technology and milieu of contemporary telemedicine are vastly different. In the age of high-speed data lines, advanced data compression technologies, the privatization of defense technologies, and computerization of patient records, clinical outcomes and physician practices, telemedicine promises to be the next milestone of health care advances. Health care informatics is the study relating to the development and application of information technology to health care information. CHINS, electronic patient records, clinical guidelines and clinical pathways are examples of health care informatics applications.

Age Discrimination Law Describing age discrimination and legal protections for workers. related Content. Disabilities law Articles Employment law Forums http://www.expertlaw.com/library/employment/age_discrimination.html
Extractions: Your Source for Legal Information ExpertLaw ExpertLaw Library Employment Law September, 2003 Notice : Please note that this is only an introduction to age discrimination law. If you believe yourself to be a victim of age discrimination, please consult with an attorney to have your claim fully evaluated. If you believe you have been subjected to discrimination due to your age, you may be able to secure relief under state or federal law. Please note, however, that age discrimination protections are based upon allegations that an employee or applicant suffered discrimination for being "too old for the job". It is ordinarily legal to discriminate on the basis that somebody is "too young for the job". The ADEA also extends protections to employees, against retaliation for filing age discrimination charges, for participating in an investigation or litigation under the ADEA, or for testifying in related proceedings. If you are forty years of age or older, and the employer engaging in discrimination has twenty or more employees, you may be able to obtain relief under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA). The conduct of smaller employers may be regulated by similar state anti-age discrimination laws. Anti-discrimination protections typically apply to both job applicants and to employees at any stage of employment, including the initial hiring decision, promotions, layoffs or "RIF's", compensation, benefits, job assignments, training, or termination of employment.
