Extractions: Lots of developments: Army doctors may have been involved in torture: Medical personnel helped tailor interrogations to the physical and mental conditions of individual detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to the report. It says that medical workers gave interrogators access to patient medical files, and that psychiatrists and other physicians collaborated with interrogators and guards who, in turn, deprived detainees of sleep, restricted them to diets of bread and water and exposed them to extreme heat and cold. "Clearly, the medical personnel who helped to develop and execute aggressive counter-resistance plans thereby breached the laws of war," says the four-page article labeled "Perspective." "The conclusion that doctors participated in torture is premature, but there is probable cause for suspecting it." 2) More developments on the "rendition" practice front: On Oct. 5, 2001, Pakistani authorities seized Habib, and over three weeks, he asserts in a memorandum filed in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, three Americans interrogated him. The petition says he was taken to an airfield where, during a struggle, he was beaten by several people who spoke American-accented English. The men cut off his clothes, one placed a foot on his neck "and posed while another took pictures," the document says.

Extractions: As an individual approaches the end of life, many legal issues may arise, including medical decisions, financial and estate planning decisions, and care for dependents. Planning in advance for these issues will give you greater assurance that your wishes regarding these decisions will be carried out. There is always the possibility that you will reach a point where you cannot make or communicate decisions for yourself. When this happens, a bank, hospital, or other service provider may need to know who is authorized to act for you. If they choose the wrong person, they may be held liable for a wrong decision. There are tools to help you plan for who will make these decisions and laws that provide ways to address unplanned situations. Healthcare Proxy A healthcare proxy is a document allowing you to designate another person (an 'agent') authorized to make health care decisions for you in the event that you are unable to make or to communicate healthcare decisions. This is described in more detail in Advance Care Planning. This document must be put into place before you are unable to make or communicate health care decisions for yourself. A durable power of attorney is a document providing for the legal appointment of another person (an 'agent' or 'attorney-in-fact') as your legal representative to make non-medical decisions for you. It is 'durable' because it does not end if the person giving the authority becomes incapacitated. The appointment of the agent can be structured so that it doesn't go into effect until you actually become incapacitated. This document also must be put into place before you are unable to make or communicate financial care decisions for yourself.

Since Nature's readers are scientists themselves, they will understand this. But a broader public might not. Something about the writing must change if a writer wishes to communicate with this broader public about scientific issues that concern us all. This course in science writing will not teach you how to write scientific research papers. Instead, we'll learn how to "translate" scientific and technical research for a non-specialist audience without either confusing your readers or making a travesty of science.
Extractions: What is a "Power of Attorney"? In the general sense, a "Power of Attorney" (hereinafter "POA") is a document whereby one person (called the "principal") authorizes another individual or entity (called an "agent" or "attorney-in-fact") to act on behalf of the principal. The most common uses for a POA are financial transactions and health care decisions. Most states have one set of laws governing financial POAs and second set of laws governing POAs for health care decisions. Therefore, it is the common and recommended practice not to mix the two purposes into one document: i.e., an individual desiring to have a POA covering both financial and medical situations should prepare two separate POAs, one dealing with financial issues and the second dealing with medical issues. When should I have a financial Power of Attorney? durable power of attorney, your family members will need to go to court and have a guardian or conservator appointed over your assets. If you have previously executed a durable power of attorney and then lose mental capacity, the agent named in your POA will be able to handle your financial affairs without the time and attorney fees necessary of going to the court to get a guardian / conservator appointed.

Extractions: Introduction This website is intended to provide information to students about the UTA Student Legal Services' Office and to make them cognizant of some of their legal rights, duties and responsibilities. This website should not be viewed as a substitute for an attorney, however. Should a situation require legal representation, an attorney should be consulted. Seeking Legal Assistance In many instances, the best time to see a lawyer is before trouble occurs. Having an attorney prepare or explain important papers, for example, can save unwelcome problems later. Of course, some situations do not require a lawyer. For example, someone may owe another person $50. In such a case, the person seeking redress may file a lawsuit in small claims court. Alternative methods of dispute resolution include mediation and arbitration. Under appropriate circumstances, reputable bankers, accountants, real estate salespersons, tax firms, investment counselors, the Better Business Bureau, federal, state and local government agencies, and others can provide valuable assistance. The important thing is to consult a lawyer if a lawyer can be of help. Most lawyers have a fee for a first office visit that is within the financial means of most people. This visit does not obligate you to hire the lawyer.

Advice is available on such matters as credit purchasing, state and federal taxation, state motor vehicle laws, landlord-tenant relationships, laws involving domestic issues (divorce, adoption, etc.), state residency matters, immigration laws and commercial contract laws. Check with the Legal Assistance Office for information specific to your area of concern. The Navy lawyers cannot represent clients in civilian court, but they can advise and assist active duty and retired service members that have personal legal problems. The Legal Assistance Officer is required to treat all such problems confidentially and may not lawfully be ordered to disclose such information by any superior authority. When a legal problem is not within the scope of the Legal Assistance Program, referral can be made to local civilian counsel. Act immediately when a legal issue is discovered. Immediate action will often resolve small problems before they become more serious. For example, the best time to ask questions is before signing a contract rather than when the terms of the contract come into dispute. Never sign a blank contract!! Utilization of Legal Assistance services is both advised and encouraged when a legal problem is first identified.
