Home Search Printer Friendly Subscribe/Unsubscribe to Statement William P. Alford Henry L. Stimson Professor and Director of East Asian Legal Studies Harvard Law School February 7, 2002 To the Chairmen and Members of the Commission: I am honored to have been invited to testify at this, the first public hearing of the Congressional-Executive Commission on the People's Republic of China, given your charge to monitor compliance with human rights and the development of the rule of law in the PRC at this critical time in our bilateral relationship. My fields of specialization are Chinese law and legal history, international trade (including the World Trade Organization), and the legal profession. I have been involved with legal development in the PRC from the early 1980s onward when, together with Professors Randle Edwards of Columbia University and Dr. Stanley Lubman, among others, I established the first regular program of instruction in American law in the PRC and the first sustained program bringing Chinese legal professionals to this country for advanced training. In addition, I have taught in China; provided advice to our government, non-governmental organizations, foundations, and others about Chinese affairs; and had extensive occasion to observe Chinese legal development. In this statement I first offer a brief overview of my understanding of Chinese legal development - which I see as necessary for the realization in China of internationally recognized standards of human rights, but not a substitute for that vital end. I then turn my attention to American and other foreign efforts to assist legal development before concluding by suggesting directions in which attention might be focused. As time and space are short, this statement is perforce a summary for which elaboration may be found in the materials cited in my endnotes.

Alternative Legal Careers Ten Law-Related Careers Without Law School or a Badge by Peter Vogt MonsterTRAK Career Coach If you watch TV, you may think there are only two basic career options if you love the law: Become a lawyer or a cop. Fortunately, real life is not like television. So if studying for the LSAT or heading for the police academy aren't on your docket, consider these 10 suggestions. Perhaps one of these will lead to the verdict you want: A satisfying career in the law. Court Administrators Judges have enough to worry about in the courtroom without contending with administrative activities like scheduling hearings, overseeing judicial records and recording the results of trials. Who takes on these tasks? The court administrator, sometimes called the judicial administrator. These individuals also play a key role in trials by announcing the judge, marking exhibits and swearing in witnesses. Court Interpreters Many people brought into US courtrooms speak little or no English. Enter the court interpreter, who helps non-English-speaking litigants, witnesses and defendants understand courtroom proceedings by interpreting everything that's being said, either simultaneously (in real time, as it happens) or consecutively (immediately after it happens). Court Reporters Court reporters create verbatim reports of trials, hearings and other legal proceedings using either a stenotype machine or a technique called “voice writing,” which allows the reporter to speak the proceedings directly into a hand-held mask equipped with a microphone and voice silencer.

Looking for legal advice RIGHT NOW? Visit ASK THE LAWYER , a free resource for free legal advice on BDSM issues by Frederick McDermott The information which follows was donated to gloria-brame.com in 1998 by Rumpoule as a special service to the SM/fetish communities. Rumpoule is no longer accepting queries or email: this page offers some of his legal opinions on BDSM issues important to us all. BDSMD/s and the Law RUMPOULE I am Rumpoule, and welcome to my page. A Little About Me I have been a criminal defense lawyer for over twenty years. I've also been in the leather lifestyle for nearly twenty-five years. I am submissive to women as a preferred form of sexuality and lifestyle. I decided I wanted to give something back to people who, like me, have a different kind sexuality or lifestyle by learning about how the law affects us. I want to collect and pass that information on to the community's members by giving lectures and acting as a resource. Introduction As you read this, you may find it to be a little frightening. Please remember that, in a legal sense just as in health considerations, there is no such thing as "safe sex." There is however, with education, "safer sex." Just as in the health arena, education and caution can help to avoid frightening results. So be aware of what you are doing, act responsibly, and you will find you can avoid that which you may fear. Please keep in mind that there are 50 states, the District of Columbia and the United States. Federal laws generally do not have much impact. In fact, J. Edgar Hoover once said, "I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce."

70. USIS -- Issues Of Democracy, September 1999 -- U.S. Courts In this contrast of common v. civil law, US District Court Judge Peter Messitte are enacted to deal with specific issues without being codified. http://usinfo.state.gov/journals/itdhr/0999/ijde/messitte.htm

COMMON LAW V. CIVIL LAW SYSTEMS By Judge Peter J. Messitte Judicial independence is a hallmark of the American legal system. As a co-equal branch of government, the judiciary to a remarkable degree operates free of control by the executive and legislative branches, deciding cases impartially, uninfluenced by popular opinion. The American people respect their courts and judges, even if they sometimes criticize them. In this contrast of common v. civil law, U.S. District Court Judge Peter Messitte (Maryland), considers some basic aspects of both systems and explains how the American common law system compares with that of civil law. The two principal legal systems in the world today are those of civil law and common law. Continental Europe, Latin America, most of Africa and many Central European and Asian nations are part of the civil law system; the United States, along with England and other countries once part of the British Empire, belong to the common law system. The civil law system has its roots in ancient Roman law, updated in the 6th century A.D. by the Emperor Justinian and adapted in later times by French and German jurists.

76. FAQ's It is always the court s decision whether a summons to a witness will be issued . Judges are allocated to cases where there are legal issues in dispute, http://www.courts.sa.gov.au/courts/environment/faq.html

frequently asked questions How much will it cost? Do I need a lawyer to represent me? Where can I get help if I decide to represent myself in the ERD Court? What if I don't want to continue with my appeal? ... Who will hear my case? How much will it cost? To lodge an appeal in the ERD Court costs $72.50. That covers only the first stage of the process – the conference. The court fee for the next stage – the hearing - is $147. The person who initiated the appeal will be billed this amount after the hearing is over. A full list of all ERD Court fees is available. All court fees are GST free. In some courts, if you lose you have to pay the costs (for example, legal fees, expert witness fees, etc) incurred by the other party. Similarly if you win the other party has to pay your costs. That is not usually the case in the ERD Court. In the ERD Court (in most cases) each party has only to pay their own costs. Bear in mind though that all parties have a right to appeal from a decision of the ERD Court to the Supreme Court. Costs of being involved in Supreme Court appeal can be considerably higher.

Top (0 ratings) submitted by John Nicks A+ , 100%, 13 ratings), Sep 18, 05 This is completely dependent on the legal jurisdiction in which you live. Under federal law in Canada, one does not need a reason for a divorce. One simply has to meet certain legal requirements to obtain one (e.g., living apart for at least one year). This concept is an archaic holdover from the days when divorce was difficult to obtain and one needed a specific legal excuse selected from a limited number of options to be permitted a divorce. There were many divorces granted for legal reasons (e.g., cruelty, infidelity) that had no bearing on the marriage situation. The term that a divorce could be granted within (e.g., five years, immediately) could also be dependent on the reason cited.
