Can you legally make me hire from one group and not from all others? If so, please explain to me how this is possible? I have 30 employees in a very diverse group, all nationalities, religions, gender, straight and not. But this new NFL rule has me concerned that in time it will be the government... Read more »
The US Constitution places limits on government action, not on the conduct of private parties or organizations, such as the NFL. This is a common misconception among laypersons.

A person may file a Section 1983 suit concerning lack of medical care by filing the complaint himself or hiring an attorney to do so. Attorneys who file civil rights suits generally do so on a contingency basis but are particular as to which suits they will choose to undertake given the... Read more »
Can an Article I judge deprive the US Court of Appeals of subject matter jurisdiction ?
No.
I've been told something about it is caterized with "Slung-shot devices"
A Missouri attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Monkey's fists are illegal in some states, and only a Missouri criminal attorney would be in a position to advise on the law in Missouri. You are correct in what you describe - although the knot was commonly... Read more »
Resulted from an illegal search and seizure...he conducted search after he told us we were free 2 go
The judge can advise you that proceeding without an attorney may not be the best when faced with a felony charge. In order for you to proceed pro se, the judge has to make sure that you fully understand certain things prior to actually representing yourself and that you have the capacity to proceed...

In general it is tough to find pro bono representation because you are asking a stranger to donate thousands of dollars of his or her time to your case. Therefore, you’ll need to be more specific if you want to catch someone’s attention.
In Section 1983 civil rights cases, prevailing... Read more »
Asking about a friend but curious because when said friend was detained by police and arrested, his firma complicated but he's also a felon so he doesn't know if he's being charged.
No, felons cannot have firearms.
Will the warrant be dropped when going before a judge
Yes. In fact it what normally happens so a hold is created so that the accused is not released from the holding facility upon resolution of that case.
Of course you can be charged. Based on the post, I suspect that has happened. Whether someone ultimately gets convicted is another issue. Time to hire a criminal defense attorney.
They blamed Covid, but there was no notification and I missed work to be at court. I disagree with the ticket and now will need to take more time off whenever the ticket is entered and they set a new date. Am I guaranteed a speedy trial and if so, can I get this ticket dismissed. Had I missed... Read more »
No, you can't get your ticket dismissed based on what you have stated. If you had missed the court date, the court would have mailed a letter to you to remind you that you missed your court date and would have re-set your court date on a future date. If the Prosecutor hasn't filed the... Read more »
I have a medical marijuana card in good standing in the state of missouri
Even a valid medical marijuana card does have some limitations with regard to amount. Such as:
"Up to four ounces may be purchased per 30 days. The Department of Health may set limits on the amount of marijuana possessed, “provided that the limit is not less than a 60 days supply.”... Read more »
I'm being told that in Missouri, you have to REQUEST a speedy trial? From what I'm aware of, the (6th Amendment) Right to a Speedy Trial, is active by default and only changes if you formally waive your right to the speedy trial. This is for a criminal case with a felony charge if that... Read more »
You are right in your assertion that you have a 6th Amendment right to a speedy trial, however there are 2 different concepts of a speedy trial. Procedurally, you do in fact have to request a speedy trial and the court should set a trial date as soon as it is reasonably possible. Once you relay to... Read more »

It is unclear from your description whether you have provided written notice of these issues. You should document the problems with your neighbor and send them in writing to both the manager and the landlord/owner. Also, review your lease and see if there is a clause prohibiting disturbing your... Read more »
Bad idea on many grounds. First, I doubt the match would be commissioned through the state. Second, you would incur liability risks. Third, it might be unlawful under your city's laws. Fourth, it might violate your HOA declaration or rules and regulations, if applicable.
And the information they supply online, my son's name is the same as mine but a "II" after his name they got his history on mine ,I can't get a job cause of case.net (employers use it as a criminal search) and I'm constantly being put n jail for his warrants cause they... Read more »
As you know, there's no easy answer to your situation. You haven't asked a specific question, however. Casenet is supposed to accurately reflect the names of the parties as they are identified when the case is filed. I'm not sure what you specifically want done, and by whom. I... Read more »
The change of ownership is not generally significant so long as the lease is still in play.
It's probably unorthodox to ask bc I'm not seeking legal advice but I have a paper due this week and our History teacher wants us to write our meaning of Thanksgiving Day so I dug into our founding fathers, read the constitution, and saw that (My question in forum) Ive always wanted to...

Here's something to ponder. In Missouri, if you owe someone 15 bucks, the person doesn't need to accept payment via a bag of nickels.

I recently got into skateboarding for a fun past time. I would never consider doing tricks on my board anywhere else other than skate parks but have given thought to riding a longboard for a method of transportation. Is it legal to ride a long board on sidewalks? Where can I ride it legally? I... Read more »
If you are not able to find laws in your ordinary searches under civil, traffic, recreational, and other laws, you could check with your elected officials on the city council, assembly, and other local, city, and state government bodies. One of the problems with skateboarding is that many places... Read more »

You have the right to represent yourself, but unless you comply with the local court rules, rules of civil procedure, and relevant statutes, you will quickly find the experience to be a frustrating one. It might cost you more in the long run not to have hired a good attorney at the outset.
This case would go to the Supreme Court. It is newsworthy. Civil rights violations. Statues ignored. Policies and procedures not followed. False documents presented to the court. This needs to be brought to the media's attention. Background in Family Law would be a plus. It is a very long... Read more »
