    Becoming a Lawyer

    axelfox: Depends what firm your with and what the area of specialty is. I was at one firm where I hardly left the office. I was at another where I was in court so often, I was barely even used my office. AndrewR: No offense taken. I frequently put lawyer jokes on my exams. :)

    Becoming a Lawyer

    As a member of the bar and office of the court, you hold a position of public trust. As such, there are strict rules about money handling, safekeeping of documents and information, disclosures, etc. Part of that is confirming that you dont have a criminal history. They even require that you...

    Becoming a Lawyer

    The answer depends upon what state you live in. Generally: 1. Obtain a bachelors degree from an accredited college. The major doesnt really matter. Some law schools prefer non pre-law/CJ majors to add some diversity. GPA, activities, and leadership roles are important. 2. Take LSAT...

    FBI Suspects Israel Has Mole in Pentagon

    Sorry, but at no time did I ever say that any spies in the US should not be prosecuted. To the contrary, I beleive they should. And although we may commit acts which may be considered terrorism, I fully believe that we should likewise fight terrorism. Hmmmm. As to the moron crack, I'll let...

    FBI Suspects Israel Has Mole in Pentagon

    No, that is not false. The US recognizes its citizens as being only citizens of the US. Have some caselaw to back your propoisiton up? I have several years of being an immigration attorney to back mine up.

    Ummm...the US does not recognize dual citizenship. While other countries might, how can we dictate to other countries their internal policies about citizenship?

    FBI Suspects Israel Has Mole in Pentagon

    Of all the countries with spies in our governement, the Israeli spies are the least of our concerns. Would I like for there to be no spies in our govt? Of course. Is it going to happen anytime soon? Nope.

    My parents are getting divorced

    My parents got divorced right after I took the bar exam. I was almost 27. It does take some getting used to and you will be out of sorts for a while. It probably took me a year or two before everything was cool again.

    If you commit a crime in another country...

    More than likely incorrect. You may have been cleared under the second countries laws, but that is irrelevant to the first country (barring them having a treaty providing to the contrary).

    Need some help with a certain speeding ticket

    The spelling of your name is simply a technical error, not a substantive error and will have no bearing on the csae. The office can amend or reissue the citation to reflect the proper spelling. Your best bet is to plead not guilty, show up at the hearing and explain your case to the office and...

    legal question about marriage and such

    As was stated, get her here on a fiancee visa and then get married here. Once youve done that, apply for her to get here green card. Once that is done, you can apply for advance parole for permission to return to her country to have the ceremony performed over there as well. If you get...
