CA Penal Code Section 299, Limitations on Disclosure (pursuant to the DNA and Forensic Identification Data Base and Data Bank Act of 1998): The best way to have DNA that has been included in a data bank destroyed is if you have not committed a past or prior offense and there is no legal basis [...]
Something to take note of:
5 states (California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Washington), the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands have enacted jurisdiction-wide cell phone laws prohibiting driving while talking on handheld cell phones.
With the exception of Washington State, these laws are all primary enforcement—an officer may ticket a driver for using a [...]
Although I can’t remember everything that happened when I was five, I certainly don’t remember standing in front of my class hearing whether the other kids wanted to vote me out of class and why. In Port St. Lucie, Florida, a five year old boy by the name of Alex Barton was subjected to this type of ridicule [...]
Thank you to John N. who posted a very insightful comment. I agree with you that it certainly takes time, money and foresight to figure out which generic domain names to buy. However, there is still something about it that feels slimy. If someone buys a “generic” domain name for any other purpose than the [...]
Has anyone thought that they should go into business and just buy domains that sound like a good company name? Or, in the alternative and probably the more likely scenario, have you thought of the best name ever for your company, only to find out that some company in India owns the name until 2016?

Who here loves baseball? Can’t say that I do but lately I have become a fan of the Atlanta Braves. Not sure if anyone saw the game tonight but in a Tivo re-play, I happened to see a guy swing at a pitch, make contact with the ball and I watched as the bat splintered [...]
If you haven’t heard by now, Lori Drew was indicted. Indicted for what and who is Lori Drew? Lori Drew is a 49 year old woman. Probably someone you would think was finished with high school games like having your friend call the boy you like to see what he says or perhaps orchestrating a [...]
What should I trademark? A common question asked by business owners. Now, before you feel compelled to make sure that the name of your company has a registered trademark in a classification like “egg incubator” when your company sells T-shirts but of course you “never know” what new business you might get into, think twice. [...]
Not sure if anyone has noticed but they did a special on “Cheerleading” on E! over the weekend. Now you might be wondering what I have to say about cheerleading and even more, what cheerleading has to do with the legal world. Well, for starters, I have to admit why I happened to watch that [...]
Does anyone think that if someone escapes from jail and is found over 20 years later, that the person should go back to jail? In the news the other day, I read about this woman who escaped from prison in 1976 and was recently caught. It’s like The Fugitive but kind of like if one of the housewives [...]
Let's make the law entertaining, shall we?
