Within a couple of weeks, most of these words will become part of your regular vocabulary and you will have forgotten those first moments of panic when you thought everyone except you understood what was being said in class. We are not attempting to define the legal terms you will encounter in reading cases such as demurrer, summary judgment, or proximate cause. For that we refer you to the standard legal dictionaries, hornbooks, and your professors. But if you want to know what a hornbook is, what F.3d is, or what a parallel citation is, please read on. While you can use this dictionary to locate individual words, it is brief enough for you to read through in its entirety. Please let us know if this 1L dictionary is helpful and if whether there are other terms you wish for us to include. You may e-mail your comments to us at

Extractions: On behalf of our long-time client Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), we filed an amicus curiae brief in this case in the Eleventh Circuit, addressing both the private right of action and remedies issues. We also assisted plaintiff's counsel in the preparation of her initial and reply briefs. Oral argument in the case is scheduled for September 2002 and we anticipate that plaintiff's counsel will yield some of her argument time to permit participation by IPR attorneys on behalf of amicus PVA. Access to Foreign Airlines While we believe litigation will continue to be an effective strategy, we will also continue to evaluate other options such as administrative or legislative advocacy and possible uses of a press strategy. We have contacted a number of European organizations of citizens with disabilities to determine whether there are EC laws that might affect the claims of airline passengers with disabilities and whether there are causes of action under European law.
U.S. Catholic Bishops - Pro-Life Activities code Ann. §§32.1162.21, 32.1-162.22. The law forbids human cloning, defined as the The massachusetts law specifically includes an embryo in its http://www.usccb.org/prolife/issues/bioethic/statelaw.htm
Extractions: Modeled on the federal Brownback/Landrieu cloning bill. Forbids any person to "perform or attempt to perform human cloning" or participate in such an attempt. "Human cloning" is defined as "human asexual reproduction, accomplished by introducing the genetic material from one (1) or more human somatic cells into a fertilized or unfertilized oocyte whose nuclear material has been removed or inactivated so as to produce a living organism, at any stage of development, that is genetically virtually identical to an existing or previously existing human organism." Those who violate the ban are guilty of a class C felony. Those who ship, transfer or receive an embryo produced by human cloning for any purpose are guilty of a class A misdemeanor. Bans efforts to create a human being by utilizing somatic cell nuclear transfer "for the purpose of, or to implant, the resulting product to initiate a pregnancy that could result in the birth of a human being." Also bans "human reproductive cloning," defined as "the creation of a human fetus that is substantially genetically identical to a previously born human being." Establishes a state policy that "research involving the derivation and use of human embryonic stem cells, human embryonic germ cells, and human adult stem cells from any source, including somatic cell nuclear transplantation, shall be permitted." This new law may be designed to supercede the older law against creating a cloned fetus. "Embryonic germ cells" are obtained from 8-week-old fetuses, while adult stem cells are obtained from born children.

Extractions: About NCSL Services Overview ... Issue Areas var doctitle=document.title document.write(doctitle) Add to My NCSL State Computer Harassment or "Cyberstalking" Laws Law enforcement agencies estimate that electronic communications are a factor in from 20 percent to 40 percent of all stalking cases. Forty-four states now have laws that explicitly include electronic forms of communication within stalking or harassment laws. State laws that do not include specific references to electronic communication may still apply to those who threaten or harass others online, but specific language can make the laws easier to enforce. Two reports from the U.S. Department of Justice provide detailed information on cyberstalking: Stalking and Domestic Violence: Report to Congress (May 2001) and Cyberstalking: A New Challenge for Law Enforcement and Industry (Aug. 1999). CyberAge Stalking , from LLRX.com , discusses the prevalence of cyberstalking and outlines state and federal statutes and case law. It also provides resources and information about how to protect against this crime. Cyberstalking: Navigating a Maze of Laws , (New York Law Journal, July 2002) describes various statutory definitions and provisions in several state cyberstalking laws.

Extractions: Massachusetts Court System The court system in the United States can be a confusing place. This confusion stems from the fact that there is no one judicial system, there are many. Each of the 50 states (and territories) operates as an independent, autonomous unit. Thus each state has different laws and differing court structures. Next to all of these operations sits the federal government, which also has its own laws and courts. To further complicate matters, these systems often overlap. Parties to a lawsuit often have a choice over whether to bring their case to state or federal court. State courts are often called upon to enforce federal law, and federal courts sometimes must apply state law. Yet despite this complexity all of these systems manage to interact and coexist with one another.What follows is an overview (with diagrams) of how the Massachusetts state courts are organized. Court System Diagram ,The Trial Courts The Superior Courts District Courts ... Supreme Judicial Court Massachusetts Courts: The Massachusetts court system is organized on three basic levels: the trial courts, the appeals courts, headed by the Supreme Judicial Court.
