What law requires you to report the finding of a dead body to the police?
Q. Well I just asked another question on whether it's against the law to not report a body you found to the police. Therefore my next question, since so many people think there is such a law, what law is it? Specifically.

A. In the state of Texas (May differ slightly from state to state) Texas Penal Code states in 37.09 an offense under subsection(2) is a class A misdemeanor (2) observes a human corpse under circumstances in which a reasonable person would believe that an offense had been committed, knows or reasonably should know that a law enforcement agency is not aware of the existence of or location of the corpse, and fails to report the existence of and location of the corpse to law enforcement agency.

What exactly does the law and ethics have to do with each other?
Q. As a hopeful lawyer soon-to-be (okay wannabe, you made me say it) what does ethics have to do with the law? I mean, I know ethics has good intentions. It can restrict lawyers from doing bad things. But it also gives criminals leeway to get away from the law? How do they complement each other? If you know the origin of "ethics" (from "ethos") and logic (from "logos") upon which much of the laws have been built in the history of the world, you'll see why the Ancient Greeks called them branches of Philosophy. So why have we only taken "ethics" and "logic" from Philosophy and applied it to the law? There's aesthetics, metaphysics, and others? Seems like the law is just trying to keep out the others. I say get rid of ethics and everything… [cont.]

A. You have to remember that nation's law are not just based on logic or ethics. Take for example slavery in America, it was perfectly legal to own slaves...was is right, no. So, you have to take into account the mental state of a nation and how they make their laws. Just like some third world nations, they see their laws as just, but we as Americans see them as horrific tools to oppress women, men, etc...

What exactly is the law that states a business has to give you an application?

A. Federal law supersedes local or state law when they are in conflict. However, a state or local law can be made that goes further than federal law. For example, a federal laws on firearms ownership (can't be a felon, can't be convicted of a domestic violence charge, cannot be mentally incapacitated, etc). A state can go even further and require a permit and set the requirements. What the state can't do is say that anyone can own a gun, including someone mentally incapacitated because it would violate federal law. In California, the state allows medical marijuana, but it is still illegal on the federal level, however, The US Attorney has chosen not to enforce the law at this time. At any point, he could go after anyone for selling it… [cont.]

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?

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!

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!!!

A. Murder is the highest level of offense there is, and is almost always waived to adult court when allegedly committed by a juvenile. Different states have different ages at which the juvenile can be waived to adult court, and there can be different ages for different offenses. For example, in Indiana, a 10 year old could be waived to adult court for a murder charge. In Ohio, Murder is a "shall waiver" offense when the charged juvenile is 16 or 17. There will be a hearing, but the juvenile MUST be waived if he is charged with murder at 16 or 17. Here are pages with info on waivers for Ohio.

A. Because the U.S. is a constitutional republic, not a direct democracy. Our elected representatives are the ones who are responsible for making the laws. Otherwise, segregation might still be legal in many states, because the vast majority of voters did want it until the feds came in and overrode them. I'm not saying I'm against decriminalization of drugs, just that what's popular isn't always what's right and allowing the voters to have absolute say in the law would result in mob rule. If you look at the writings of the Founding Fathers (in particular, the Federalist Papers) they considered democracy to be the worst form of government.

A. Enforce - to put or keep in force; compel obedience to: to enforce a rule; Traffic laws will be strictly enforced. Administer - to manage (affairs, a government, etc.); have executive charge of: to administer the law. When a policeman writes a ticket or a warning he is enforcing the law, hopefully this compels obedience. When a policeman handcuffs someone who has a warrant for their arrest or when a judge gives judgment they are administering the law. Note: Usually the police enforces the law, but when he handcuffs anyone he is doing both because they have executive charge of that individual.

What happens when the Fed creates a law that interferes with a State law?
Q. What happens when the federal government creates a law that interferes with a state law? Does the state have to change their laws?

A. Per the Supremacy Clause, the federal law preempts the state law unless it is found to violate the 10th Amendment. In order to violate the 10th Amendment the feds have to have created a law that violates the states' ability to make and create their own laws traditionally left to the states. "Traditional" laws are laws usually related to family law, criminal law, etc. But some criminal laws such as the Controlled Substance Act, can be regulated by the feds, because drugs are a commodity and can easily be transported between states. Therfore, the feds can regulate drug laws to some extent because of the Commerce Clause.

Is it possible to prepare for both law school AND medical school with a degree in bioengineering?
Q. I am a senior in high school planning on attending the University of Washington this fall. My GPA is currently 3.9, I got a 2060 on the SAT, and I have taken several AP classes. The branch of law I am interested in is patent law/intellectual property law. And for medicine I am interested in becoming an anesthesiologist. Is it possible to prepare for medical school while gaining the same qualifications to get into a good law school? Thanks a lot!

A. If you want to be a patent lawer, you probably need a degree in engineering. MD and law together is probably more like malpractice law. A patent lawyer and a anesthesiologist are both 50+hours a week job and do not overlap.

What is the law concerning a 17 year old girl getting pregnant by a 15 year old boy?
Q. Texas Law...I know that 17 is the age of concent, but my son is the 15 year old here. Just want to know our options regarding the law.
Asked by concerned in Texas - Fri Apr 10 12:29:55 2009 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Well i got pregnant at age 16 by a 16 year old and there was no problem. I mean the cops didn't come busting his door down or anything like that. If your son did this willingly then i don't see the point of pressing charges, make him get a job and take care of his baby. The most important thing is for him to feel like you are there for him even if you aren't try to be supportive. Good Luck! Remember he isn't the first young parent and he won't be the last plenty of people can do it so can your son.

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.]

A. Is the existing drain going through a wall to the outside or not? Personally, I don't care for the idea of draining to the outside. There is too much possibility of insects and such getting in the drain and clogging it up. If a humidifier is going to share the same drain you definitely don't want it going outside, it will freeze up in the winter. Draining it inside the dwelling with as short of a run as possible is preferred. The best way is to use a condensate removal pump that has a safety switch float switch on it. This way if your drain tubing clogs up or your pump fails, the float switch will shut down the system to prevent a flood.
