All I can say is probably not. But go see a local attorney about this.
I've seen plenty of people arguing on whether modding a video game is illegal, so I just want to know once and for all

about 5yrs ago my husband bought me a ring for Christmas. I have moved since then and I know I lost it. I haven't seen it for months. how or what do I need to do now?

If your case is in Cook you can check online by name or case number at http://www.cookcountyclerkofcourt.org/?section=CASEINFOPage.

I don't know exactly what you mean. However, a "motion" is basically asking the judge to do something in your case. You must give "notice" of your motion, or tell the opposing party, what you are asking the judge to do, as well as give them enough time to arrange to be in... View More

You should speak to your employer ASAP. Yes, you should go it is probably for a trial and your testimony is needed to establish putting bills into evidence at trial. Make sure the request is not for records only which can sometimes be confusing.

This can mean the vacating of a "dismissal for want of prosecution." This phrase sometimes means a plaintiff missed a court date and the case was dismissed. They can be reinstated if a motion is brought within a certain period of time.
