If I join the military as a JAG, I am required to serve there for four years. In the long term, I want to be a federal judge. However, will spending four years as a JAG hurt my chances of becoming a federal judge given that I will be four years behind in regards to clerking for judges compared to... Read more »
Maybe the best person to pose your question to could be a former JAG. But your question remains open for four weeks. Given the high regard for the program because of its selection process, many would see it as a strong accomplishment. Some might see the fact that you would probably be working with... Read more »
I know it was stupid and dumb but I was at my friends home and I was bored I meant no harm and I asked for nothing I called the number and said this is against Martinez of the FBI and your number was associated with prostitution please refrain from committing acts of prostitution. I did not ask for... Read more »
Actually, this is no joke. Impersonating a federal officer is a very serious crime. You really should consult with a federal criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
I just maxed a 3 to 6 year sentence a judge gave me. I was originally sentenced to 3 to 12 months in the county and 3 years probation. I had no new charges, yet the judge resentenced me and added more time on to my sentence making me have to do 6 years instead of 3. I had tech violations but it... Read more »
From your location this is an Ohio question, which I am not qualified to answer. However, if this is a Pennsylvania question the answer is that if probation is revoked you can be resentenced to anything that was originally allowable. Its an important differentiation between probation and parole.... Read more »
Yes. It's the mayor's - city council's call to make, and such measures have been implemented in other cities across the nation. Good luck

Hello, I have Jury Duty on May 11th in the city of Philadelphia. PA extended their lock down till the 8th.
I am seriously frightened of getting the virus.
If I have to go and I get the virus, can I sue the city of Philadelphia for putting me in that position?
Probably. But wait and see: at least one other surrounding county has extended their judicial shutdown through the end of May, and Philadelphia may do the same in the coming weeks. I bet it will.
Best of luck to you, and wash your hands.
My child is a senior this year, her school has sent out letters saying they wish to go cyber for the rest of the year March 30th. Our family is quarantined at the moment because we have family members who would not be able to survive the virus and the virus is close. Is it legal for my child’s... Read more »
Yes, the school is within its legal rights to disseminate education to its students through online learning. Requiring students to attend school, in person, could put more students at risk than necessary, so providing online education would not violate any laws.
More specifically, a municipality. To be quite forward, under notice fairly given.
Any attempt to extract fees, or prosecute for said fees, under a non dangerous, non moving violation such as a parking ticket. The ticket would be considered a first step in legal procedure correct? And must... Read more »
I think I get the gist of your question this time. The ticket is not evidence against you it is simply notice that you have committed a violation. On that ticket is information about what you need to do to challenge that violation. The ticket does not assign a value for a penalty it merely puts... Read more »
Yes, there are minimum requirements of Due Process. What that means is almost entirely impossible to explain in this format. There are hundreds of articles written on this on the internet. If you have a specific context it would be much easier to address and give you a more productive answer.... Read more »
Person A feels like they are being treated unfairly and is being retaliated against because person B is affiliated with the officials who are prosecuting Person A. Is this case supposed to be handled different than normally?
I can see your issue, but not sure how else the situation should be handled. How many victims of crimes are related to, say, cops? What should happen in those cases? The world isn't perfect.
Sometimes in very high profile criminal cases in which there's a conflict of interest... Read more »
Pertaining to medicare supplement insurance.
Not prosecuted but if it turns up in the medical records they could drop you or re-rate you. Sorry, the person.
My husband is currently disabled and we have had no income now for months. Until he can get any kind of help we have to pay to get our prior taxes done for his corporation (he no longer has - due to not being able to walk anymore); before we can do our personal taxes.
The only way to... Read more »
The penalty varies from plan to plan. You can check with the plan administrator to determine exact amount. It is unlikely that the IRS is even aware of the pension plan, do very doubtful that they will be able to seize money.
Try contacting your local Pennsylvania State Police barracks with your questions. They deal with and enforce most of the firearms laws in the Commonwealth. Better safe than sorry, right?
Best of luck to you.
I can only answer as to Pennsylvania law. Title 18, section 4913 ("Impersonating a notary public or a holder of a professional or occupational license") is probably what you're looking for.
If you're looking for a similar statute in Maryland, I suggest posting your... Read more »

Please re ask but with some facts.
required to attend a counciling service that requires you sign a document saying you are not allowed to use the internet . I HAVE NEVER USED internet for improper purposes. There are various reasons i must have internet access. If i use the internet i will be dismissed from counciling and then be... Read more »
It's not but the way around it is to get a modification of the order allowing you use of the internet however it will have to be limited, you will likely have to allow others access to your computer and any and all passwords you have so they can make sure you aren't useing this in an untoward way.
Refusal to issue me a state ID card due to assumptions on the part of a call center supervisor.
Not under the circumstances as you describe them.Were you able to get the ID?
They have use police to remove speakers for speaking out. I violated something for reading board minutes, a veteran was removed by police for pointing out hypocrisy. On one occasion I (the press) was removed by police, the police escorted me out, we discussed the situation and he allowed me to... Read more »
Speech may be limited by time, place and manner. It sounds like things were getting a little out of hand. How much is hard to say, however if you feel that there was no reason for the removal,contact the Pennsylvania Civil Liberties Union.
Evaluation was done in NY where incident occurred, but only saying it's too old. Clean record since. No issues. Just moved to PA from NY and applying for license here in PA. Left NY license in good standing after finishing legal process.
Not sure what evaluation you need, but if you had some situation it was needed for Pa. and most states require that on reapplication you may need another.
1 yr. and 3 mo. I filed motions while incarcerated on grounds of 2255 and 3553 and other rules that the courts shafted me . I want to sue the third dist court of Allentown , Pa. this has taken away extra years of my life, because of their mistake upon the rules and sentencing guidelines. I think... Read more »
You can try the Pennsylvania Civil Liberties union but I will tell you that judicial immunity would protect any of the federal courts involved. I don't see that you have a case you can file for what you believe were rule violations as a result.
My Father-in-Law is 90 yrs. old and has dementia. Back in 2014 he received a "Notice of the Recall of your Driving Privilege" He has not sent his license in and thinks he can still drive. What is the financial penalty or is there a financial penalty for not sending his drivers license in.
Usually $100 but it can be a misdemeanor or felony under other circumstances.
