Recently graduated from esthetics school in Florida but it was the worst experience I've ever had. One of the things we can be taught is a Brazilian wax where all of the last but are waxed. I was the demo for my instructor and during the wax, she kept making comments along the lines “oh look... View More

Assuming you are referring to "cosmetology" as defined in Florida Statute 477.013 (4), no, it is doubtful. The conduct you describe doesn't appear to be a crime.
The other party has since withdrawn from school and my daughter is getting all the fault. They even say they investigated but will not share any of the file
My vaccinated friend caught COVID-19, spread from an unvaccinated student, his next-door dorm neighbor. They have isolation dorms specifically to quarantine people and promised reservations for those who were vaccinated. The rooms are all full because they gave them to anyone who got sick instead...

Your friend's rights largely depend on the terms and conditions agreed to when signing up to reside in the dorm. He therefore must schedule a consultation with an attorney and present all relevant writings for review. He can click on the Justia "Find a Lawyer" tab up top or contact... View More
It was to be placed in the school's chapel which it was. The school built a new chapel and the stain glass window remained in the old chapel which is now used for a study hall. Can my family ask for the window since it no longer is where it was specified to be placed.
Thank you - Bob M

Your family can, of course, ask, but unless the donation was conditional you couldn't enforce your request.
i am applying for fl license as a MFT and they are not sure if the exam was a state or national exam. Please help!!!!
answered on Jun 4, 2021
I have no idea what MFT means. If you took it in New Jersey, I would guess you should ask you question in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > New Jersey. If you mean "Marriage and Family Therapist"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_therapy#Licensing_and_degrees), it would be a state exam.

When you turn 18 you will be an adult, and therefore able to move out whether or not you are still in school.

Whether it is ethical or it is breach of contract, you must revisit the agreement you signed with the school when you first enrolled. You should bring a copy of the agreement and consult an experienced contract attorney.
Things such as a no-kissing policy, no contact policy, or no general acts in school policy, or are these a violation of freedom of due process and of association.
answered on Jan 3, 2021
I assume you mean rules applying ONLY to acts on school grounds, as such restrictions on acts OUTSIDE of school, with penalties for noncompliance, likely would be unconstitutional. For on-campus activity, there are all kinds of rules for decorum purposes that would withstand constitutional... View More
I’m a high school student in Florida. My teachers are saying that theyre going to require webcams and record us because of online learning. As someone who values their privacy, this is very concerning to me. Is this legal?
answered on Aug 25, 2020
While it's generally not legal in Fla. to audio-record someone without their consent, I imagine that the school has made your consent (or your parents' consent on your behalf) a condition of attending the school.
What can I do to get my student out of taking that class? I don’t care if people want to live in sin but being forced to take a sexual preference choice as history I don’t agree with and it’s against our beliefs.
answered on Aug 5, 2020
You can protest to the school &/or the school board. If the school board won't listen to them, work to get the school board members replaced in the next election. Or you can transfer him to another school.
We are in Florida. My husband's grandfather was and his mother is in California.

My MIL took the $25,000 and opened an... View More

It doesn't appear that the trustee can do that, but one would have to read the trust to be sure. Also, since it appears to be a California trust, you might want to ask a California attorney to take a look at the situation.
While school is closed, they are making us file unemployment I have over 120 PTO hours is this legal?
answered on Mar 23, 2020
It appears that this private education company is attempting to avoid possible disaster caused by a bunch of teachers all going out on PTO at the same time; however, the way they are trying to avoid closing down is probably unlawful. Look for an experienced employment lawyer who is familiar with... View More

If the dispositions of you’re old cases were with hold of adjudication ( as opposed to an adjudication) you may be eligible to seal/expunge them. It’s basically the difference between a misdemeanor conviction or a disposition of the case with no conviction.

Yes, as I recall you do need someone 21 or older. What does your permit say?

Since you have custody this is an issue between you and the school board.

You would have to consult with an expert on the laws of China to determine whether your father could "refuse to accept" you. But if your mother has custody of you she can, until you reach the age of majority, require you to take the flight.
