AnagramsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Law is a system of rules, usually enforced through a set of institutions. It shapes politics, economics and society in numerous ways and serves as a primary social mediator of relations between people. Contract law regulates everything from buying a bus ticket to trading on derivatives markets. Property law defines rights and obligations related to the transfer and title of personal (often referred to as chattel) and real property. Trust law applies to assets held for investment and financial security, while tort law allows claims for compensation if a person's rights or property are harmed. If the harm is criminalised in a statute, criminal law offers means by which the state can prosecute the perpetrator. Constitutional law provides a framework for the creation of law, the protection of human rights and the election of political representatives. Administrative law is used to review the decisions of government agencies, while international law governs affairs between sovereign nation states in activities ranging from trade to environmental regulation or military action. Writing in 350 BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle declared, "The rule of law is better than the rule of any individual." Legal systems elaborate rights and responsibilities in a variety of ways. A general distinction can be made between civil law jurisdictions, which codify their laws, and common law systems, where judge made law is not consolidated. In some countries, religion still informs the law. Law provides a rich source of scholarly inquiry, into legal history, philosophy, economic analysis or sociology. Law also raises important and complex issues concerning equality, fairness and justice. "In its majestic equality", said the author Anatole France in 1894, "the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread." In a typical democracy, the central institutions for interpreting and creating law are the three main branches of government, namely an impartial judiciary, a democratic legislature, and an accountable executive. To implement and enforce the law and provide services to the public, a government's bureaucracy, the military and police are vital. While all these organs of the state are creatures created and bound by law, an independent legal profession and a vibrant civil society inform and support their progress. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What law is it that allows you to retire after 17 years in the military? Q. I've seen people retire after 17 years due to things like PRT failures and they always say it's a law that you can't get kicked out unless you do something illegal once you hit 17. It makes sense to me because if the military could get away with it they would kick everyone out after 19 and 364 days to save money. Can someone please give me the law or instruction number? I can't find it anywhere. Asked by william k - Sat Jul 26 16:56:55 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. You can also be discharged from the military based on HYT (high year of tenure). For example: You are in the AF, an E-4 with 11 years. If you do not have a line number for E-5, you will be out of a job as soon as you hit 12 years. Each service has their own HYT system, so the numbers will vary. But, you don't retire. You are just out. Most do have a HYT step at 20 years, so no one gets caught w/o retirement. Also, you can be discharged for refusing an assignment. You're at 19 years. You get a 3 year tour to Germany. You turn it down, you're out of a job. You're 9 months of 20 and you get orders for a remote to Korea. You turn it down, you're out. No retirement! And I've seen people do it!!

I would like to prepare for my first year in law school. I am looking to purchase books on torts, contracts, civil procedure, constitutional law, and criminal law. Any recommendations on which books to read? I've heard Gilbert's Law Reviews have good outlines, but is it easy to read and understand? Please advise. Asked by knesa27 - Mon Jan 15 16:34:43 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Emanuel's is a good outline - I liked it better than Gilbert's. Examples & Explanations is also good. For class, you should get High Court Case Notes, which are keyed to your textbooks and summarizes each case in the book. You do not need to purchase any books on the above topics until you get your book list though. The books are very expensive and you do not want to get the wrong book. You should take it easy before heading to law school. Maybe read 1L or watch the Paper Chase. But, to begin reading textbooks is not something I would advise you do. You will be doing enough of that when school starts!!! Answered by j_melfi_1201 - Mon Jan 15 19:41:36 2007 How does common law apply to trademarks used on websites intended for nationwide commerce?
Q. I understand that common law can protect a trademark in a limited geographical area. The area would be the locality that the business operates in. However, if a trademark is used on an Internet website that was designed to solicit business anywhere, does common law extend to everywhere the website can be viewed? Asked by Debra - Tue Feb 10 12:00:34 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hi, Under Australian law, trademarks are protected exclusively through the operation of the Trade Marks Act, NOT through common law. Common law is only used to interpret the provisions of the Act, but it does not, of itself, protect your trademark. Secondly, a trademark is not protected unless it is properly registered pursuant to the Act. Once it is registered, it is protected ONLY within Australia and only for the various classes you have registered the trademark for. Note that registration protects your mark through ALL of Australia - even if your initial business was localised. However, you might wish to note that you will have NO protection of your trademark in the international sphere - even if it is protected within Australia.… [cont.] Answered by Grecian2000 - Thu Feb 12 09:59:04 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Law"
