My school scans the google documents we have for key words, in one of my documents I wrote about suicide. (Also is this a privacy violation?)
I have requested the collection of our work unit's, Classified Association, job descriptions and have been either ignored or directly refused by our head of HR (recently placed, inexperienced.)
Once he did refuse, there is NO backing down, apparently that's a LOSE in his view. I... Read more »

You asked if there are legal consequences for the 8th grader for telling someone to kill themselves. I don't think there is a "Yes" or "No" answer. I would suggest that most likely, "No", because an 8th grader is not likely to fully appreciate the severity of what... Read more »

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. At this point, one option is to reach out to law firms to see if it's possible to set up a free initial consult to briefly discuss. In addition to your own attorney searches, you... Read more »
I notified the school when I requested my transcripts. My attendance will show I did not attend any classes. Do I have a case for small claims court?

You don't say what the school's policy is on refunds and/or withdrawal mid-term but it likely would govern. That said, if you didn't tell them I strongly doubt a court would give you any refund.
I considered attending a state university and then never followed through. I had made an email in their system and got no further. They later contacted me via this email and said that I owed them $5,700 for a room and board that I never reserved. They only have this email and my name and they do... Read more »

If they know your name they can easily find out everything else they need to sue you; and they might, do that because of the large amount involved. Accordingly, I do not advise you to start ignoring them now. Your decision to appeal the fine has already pushed them far enough to continue with the... Read more »

My lawyer said "Shouldn't be from you" but my girlfriend called because it was such a travesty & I am in "full-blown" panic mode all the time. Her boyfriend is sports reporter for ANOTHER paper.... he said "Hell yes, people call all the time about their own situation!"

Can and should are two different things. Can you, yes, should you, no. Ethics rules prohibit/restrict what attorneys can do in such situations, but not the litigates themselves.
Our 9 yr old son was getting into trouble due to anxiety issues. He was finally suspended for verbally threatening a fellow student that had been bullying him. We withdrew him the next day. His older brother still attends school there. We just received an email from the principal notifying us that... Read more »

I do not do public education law by any means, but you have a situation where they possibly could rightful ban him from the school due to the threats he made. People can be trespassed from public places, TriMet does it all the time.
I have had multiple sit downs with the principle that always lead to a student being "talked to". However the hands-off policy is never enforced to a point that things will change. What should i do or can i do to let them know that i'm serious about getting the changes that will make... Read more »
