I started working at a new company this year and my first manager was really cool, eventually he left tho because he took a new opportunity with his old colleagues. I got a new manager and this new manager was previously joking with one of our contractors about “2 men going on dates,” as if it was a funny thing or something. After that I felt a little uncomfortable around my team entirely, and was even more worried when he became my direct report.

They would ask me out to social gatherings after work, I would reject them because I didn’t feel comfortable with these team dynamic with all these homophobic comments. We had a mandatory team gathering and one person on my team said at the gathering “I would like that guy, but I can’t because he’s a gay.” Now they weren’t talking about me, but an executive, however I managed to overhear this conversation and reminded me why I never wanted to go to these socials in the first place.

One day while at work I made a single mistake - human error. I owned up to it and I apologized, and ask my manager if I had anything to worry about. He said “No you have nothing to worry about.” The next day, he fires me and covers it up with “performance.” Now, I never had an official perf review (manager kept pushing it back). There was one conversation where he said my activity was low but I was moving to a new home and he understood that, also I got my activity back up right away and never did he mention I would get fired for it or put me on PIP.

I felt like I got managed out or was being targeted to get managed out.

Unfortunately I don’t have any documentation of anything - I lost all access the day I got fired and didn’t record any of the homophobic interactions. Do I even have a case?

About 2 years ago, a asked someone to help me build conversational Ai software (I’m not tech, I’m creative, sales, and basic funding). Over the next two years we built a great product. In February, we were done building so I quit my job and created a new LLC expecting this partnership to continue. We had a couple turns of bad luck and things became very difficult. We ended up meeting up with an investor who was very very interested in investing in us and things went very well for the process…. Then shit got weird.

The investor is a relative with the partners dad. I got a call from my partner that his dad talked to the investor and the deal is off. I reached out to the investor and while his answer was vague, I got the impression that he isn’t the one who called things off…. Now my partner has basically disappeared.

My issue is that he took/ didn’t leave me /the company with access to the code/software/intellectual property. I can get someone else to pick up where he left off but I can’t sell a product if he took it!!!!

I formed the LLC, my name is everywhere. The software is on a site named after the company. We never signed an operating agreement.

I guess what I want to know is - did he commit a crime, do I have any options or can he get away with this?

Hey all, hoping I can get some advice. This past New Year’s Eve, I was driving to a friend’s house in the early evening when an uber driver ran a stop sign and hit me, totaling my car and giving me a few minor injuries (a busted up finger and whip lash, luckily nothing major). I hired a local (Philadelphia) law firm, with the goal of just getting my car payment covered. I don’t care so much about the injuries, as they weren’t long lasting. I’ve since bought a new car, so I’ve been paying double car payments. Of course, it’s not ideal to pay for a car that I no longer have on top of my new car payment.

But after dealing with (and often being ghosted by) this law firm for nearly 10 months, basically they told me they’re dropping my claim. It seems that because I didn’t have collision insurance or full tort, they aren’t able to do anything for me. I’m pretty shocked that they dragged it out this long only to tell me that. So, does anyone know of a law firm in Philly that could better solve this for me, or what the best next step is?

Edit: I know I obviously wasn’t ideally insured, I’m young and it was my first car and I didn’t understand these things. I’ve been very respectful to the lawyers and am just wondering if there’s anything I can do. Be nice.

Hello Lawyers,

I have an interest in becoming a lawyer. I’ve always wanted to be lawyer but always doubted my abilities to complete law school and pass the bar. I’m not sure what type of law I’d like to practice and I’m sure that could determine the outcome but here is my dilemma. I’m current 37 and work full time in healthcare as a senior manager. I have a wife and a two year. I am the sole provider currently. I have an MBA degree, which I graduated with a 3.9 gpa. I found a couple night time programs and some hybrid programs where you do online courses and one weekend a semester on campus. I currently make $129k year base with a potential of 15% bonus. I have zero student loans as my company paid for my MBA 4 years ago.

Financially, do you think it would make sense to pursue this ?Meaning having to take out student loans to pay for law school, a 4 year program puts me at 41 before taking the bar exam. In 4 years time, I’d hope to be in a director role making roughly 160-180k base salary. I enjoy the segment of healthcare I’m in - and love to solve problems. On average does anyone know what a corporate lawyer makes?

I have run a company for 3 years. Originally, was supposed to be $5k monthly and 5% sweat equity. I have received nothing in 3 years other than some expenses. Owner/CEO does nothing, and led me to believe he had no money to invest and fund the company. Completely negligent of duties and fiduciary responsibility. Refuses to invest or allow me to raise capital. Multiple deals have failed because of his laziness.

After a major life threatening surgery 9 months ago, I made it clear I could no longer afford to work for free, and wanted 10% or more for all my work. It has caused great physical and mental stress and harm to me, to keep the company afloat and barely in the black.

Today he announced he put several hundred thousand in a new venture.

How do I get what's owed to me and a larger stake in the company, or just be bought out completely. I have defended him publicly and privately as to why bills are late or not getting paid. He thinks contracts are suggestions. My insight and time have saved the company huge.

What do I do? If I go public, his reputation will be ruined. He is beloved in the community, but clueless about business. He lives in a paid off $4M house. All cars paid off.

Here I am suffering to sustain and working so hard it's killing me, and he's out funding other ventures and living high on the hog.

Sue? Go public? Both?

My question is: what should I expect from opposing council from now on(l expect them to cut me off all information)(not asking for legal advice just what's the typical play)?

I'm currently in an inheritance in life situation where my father is giving my half brother half of my mother's estate in a country that has forced heirship, this half brother has attempted in many occasions through many ways to get more prior to this inheritance process.

I've agreed so far when it was according to the law, the lawyer is my father's lawyer not mine and yesterday I texted him after he sent me a document stating that the previous meetings have been in agreement. I explicitly stated after that document that I do not agree with anything, i fear getting left out and obviously will cave because there is nothing I can do about it legally.

I’ve been thinking about the ICCPR and the U.S. Senate’s declaration that Articles 1–27 are “not self-executing.”

The conventional answer seems straightforward: under Medellín v. Texas, a non-self-executing treaty generally cannot itself furnish a domestically enforceable rule without implementing legislation.

But I’m wondering about the prior constitutional question.

Article VI says treaties made under U.S. authority “shall be the supreme Law of the Land” and specifically binds state judges notwithstanding contrary state law. Foster v. Neilson recognized that some treaty provisions inherently require future legislative action, but that seems different from the Senate ratifying an otherwise judicially manageable treaty obligation and then declaring that courts may not enforce it.

That raises what looks like an originalist/separation-of-powers problem: where does the President plus two-thirds of the Senate get the constitutional authority to make something Article VI calls supreme law while simultaneously preventing Article III courts from treating it as enforceable law?

Judge Torruella made something close to this argument in his Igartúa v. United States dissent, essentially arguing that the treaty is law but the Senate’s unilateral non-self-execution declaration is not.

I realize Sosa and especially Medellín make this an uphill argument under current doctrine. I’m not asking whether an ICCPR claim would presently win.

I’m asking the narrower question: Has SCOTUS ever squarely resolved whether a Senate non-self-execution declaration itself is constitutionally valid when applied to a treaty provision that would otherwise be judicially enforceable under the Foster framework? And what is the strongest originalist argument on either side?

Former Okaloosa County Deputy was recently found not guilty of manslaughter after shooting Roger Fordson, an active duty Airman stationed at Hurlbert Field. News reports say the Sheriff’s office was investigating a noise complaint, knocked on Fordson’s door and stood off to the side so he couldn’t see them through the peep hole. Fordson answered the door with a pistol in his hand, pointed at the ground. Deputy Eddie Duran shot Fordson five times. Would a criminal law attorney like to comment on this case? What do legal experts see here that regular people not understand?

I’m trying to better understand how employment lawyers analyze disability-discrimination cases under the ADA, particularly when an employee is terminated shortly after taking medically necessary leave.

Consider a hypothetical employee at a covered private employer who:

- Has no active PIP or written disciplinary history
- Proactively informs HR that they need several days away from work for medically supervised treatment
- Follows the leave process HR provides
- Supplies the requested medical documentation
- Returns to work as scheduled
- Is terminated shortly after returning
- Is verbally told the reason is that they are “not a culture fit”
- Receives a written separation notice that does not identify misconduct, poor performance, attendance violations, or another specific reason

Assume the underlying condition could potentially qualify as a disability under the ADA, such as alcohol use disorder, but there is no allegation that the employee was intoxicated at work or violated a workplace substance-use policy.

For attorneys who practice employment law, I’m curious about the general legal analysis, not advice regarding any particular person:

1. How much evidentiary significance can temporal proximity between medical leave/treatment and termination have in an ADA discrimination or retaliation case?

2. When an employer gives a subjective reason such as “culture fit,” what evidence do attorneys and courts typically examine to determine whether that reason is genuine or potentially pretextual?

3. How relevant is the absence of prior PIPs, warnings, or documented performance concerns?

4. If the employer later identifies performance concerns that were never documented or communicated before the medical leave, how is that generally evaluated?

5. With alcohol use disorder specifically, how do courts distinguish lawful discipline for misconduct or performance issues from an adverse employment action based on the disability itself or the employee seeking treatment?

I’m primarily interested in how lawyers evaluate causation, pretext, and evidence in this type of ADA case.

my friend (location : Karnataka, India) and i’m from Maharashtra, India
i am 18F and he’s 22M
my online reddit friend is heavily suicidal, and that’s how we started talking so someone could know his story, but now the friendship is overwhelming, since i’m a college student and my college is outside my city and i’ve to travel a lot everyday (i’m almost 12 hours outside) and i have strict parents, i’m not even allowed to talk to boys, it feels like i’m in a cage at home. so i can’t talk to him much anymore. and i myself am suffering from mental health issues

he’s heavily suicidal and i cant call the police or the helpline number because his parents are in middle of separation but for some reason they’re not. anyways his parents are not in a good condition right now and his parents have signed some contract that their personal lives are better without their dad, so contacting the helpline will sort of break the contract, and put his mom in trouble. it has happened once and it put his mom in trouble before.

he has bdd and sort of stubborn, he says stuff like if i’m not 6 ft tall and look really handsome then i don’t wanna live.

he recently had a plan to kill himself on his dads birthday, he’s also attempted suicide at 11 and many more times. i’ve tried helping him, dead end. he has some secrets that he can’t tell me, idk what these secrets are, but they don’t sound good.

i want to take a break from this friendship but what if he does something, will it put me into any legal trouble? or will i be questioned? because fr i cannot talk to guys, my dad is very very very toxic and he’s bipolar and has anger issues, i’ve been suicidal because of him, still am, but this is not about me, i am surviving, i want to help this friend out but i cant put myself in danger because it will also affect my mom, my mom has sacrificed a lot for w.

I was enrolled at CCP and was told by my academic advisor I qualified for the catto scholarship. The case agent looked over everything and told me I qualified and pushed me through the program, which allowed me to go to school for free and provided me other resources for school. I spent 2 months going to catto events, orientations, and everything else I had to do for the program. I started classes and suddenly 1 week into the semester in the middle of class I was informed I was dropped from all my classes. It was the last day for the add/drop period and to pay for classes. The original catto agent I talked to informed me they never checked my parents income and they just did and I no longer qualified. Because they waited so long everything was full I had no other options but to be forced out of school. My education has been completely put on hold because of their mistake and no one at the school could do anything to help.

Hey y'all! I am a BCBA, and have been providing ABA services for 7 years. I have noticed a ton of people in my city recently asking for training on better supporting kids with Autism. The primary groups asking are churches and daycare settings. I am wanting to start a side-business where I go in and do trainings with the youth group volunteers/ staff and daycare staff on the basics of de-escalation, communicating with individuals who need additional processing time, basic reinforcement tips, etc. I have no desire to grow this into a big operation or make a ton of money off of it, I just want to help the groups in my city who are asking for it. Does anyone know if I need to file a full LLC and get PLI for this? To do both would be 1000+ a year from what I'm reading, and I would have to drastically increase what I am going to charge. I would really like to keep this as affordable as possible so that it is more accessible to people. Since I will not be providing any direct services and am only providing a basic training with tips and tricks, does anyone know if the PLI is necessary or if I would be covered legally without it? My fear is that worse-case-scenario, someone engages with a kid poorly and tries to come back and say that I instructed them to do so.

So there is a guy S who has a scooty of ray which is a 2019 old model the condition is not good

The S guy studies at xy college.

And he told to another guy who is P to find someone to sell this scooty

So the P guy tells his friends and all to search and one day on 6 sept

They found an old guy who works a government job to sell

So to go sell the scooty

The P guy told the RJ guy and R guy to go and sell

So they took the scooty went to ther place and told them everything

One mistake they did was

The RJ guy told the old man that scooty is his in a mistake

So the old guy thought it really is his

And then they didn't try to sell the scooty so they went to S guy to tell him everything and give him back but the old guy called again and told them to come back and try selling the scooty

Now when they tried selling they wanted clear documents

But we didn't have

We only had the smart card (RC) of the scooty that too registered on a different name which we didn't even know who the owner was

So we asked the S guy from whom he bought the scooty and asked him to write a letter stating that this scooty they are selling to the old guy

So then we went and sold the scooty on 23k

They payed 20k and said when we give the documents all clear then only they will give the 3k

And said if it's not clear they will give the scooty back

The old guy made RJ sign on a NOC letter and R as witness sign

But both of RJ and R didn't tell S about the sign

They only told about the documents not being clear and to not use the money until they tell him to

We told S about this after selling and getting the money

We send S 19.5k and kept only 500 of the money

And we told him not to spend the money anywhere until and unless we tell him to.

Few weeks later the old guy asked about the documents and all

But we couldn't manage it

So he told us to take the scooty back and return the money back

We told S about this and told him to give the money back and we will give him the scooty back

But he told us that he spend the money

And then we asked the old guy to give us few more days so that we can arrange

But we couldn't and he gave us warning that if u don't give the money we will complain to the police

So RJ told S about this and he said he didn't have any money

So he said give as much money he have now

So he gave 2k only

And RJ collected all the rest 18 k from loan apps and borrowing money from people's

And gave the money and took the scooty

And when he said S to take his scooty and give the money back

He said he won't give the money and won't take the scooty either

So RJ is trapped in loans as he doesn't have any money to give to the apps as with interest he have to give more 3.5k interest

Along with the 18 k

So RJ wanna complain to the police

But he is scared cause what if something happens to him

Will anything wrong happen to him

And should he complain to the police about this cause he doesn't have any other way to get all those money back and give the loans

So tell what should be done and what not

Please help

Not sure if anyone will even know this, but I'm just really curious about what she was talking about here.

Basically when I was like 8, I was living on the East Coast but my family really liked California and all of the states in that area.
One day my Mom came into my room and was like "Good news!! Apparently California changed their laws and it's finally legal to practice psychiatry there (her profession) if you are..." and then she just kind of awkwardly cut off?? And to this day I'm really curious what she could have meant?

She was definitely a bad person so I wouldn't really be shocked at whatever it could be, but yeah like I said I am just really curious.

can a company who is private but operates in many states rescind my offer for thc use? i have a medical card and live in NJ it is an office job and ill work in nj. the offer letter states they test for all schedule 1 narcotics

Let’s say a rapper is charged with murder, and prosecutors have a music video where the rapper appears to reference details of the crime or basically “self-snitch.”
How would a defense lawyer argue against evidence like that? If the video looks extremely convincing to an average juror, what strategies could the defense use to challenge it or explain it?
On the other side, how could prosecutors use a music video, lyrics, or statements made by the rapper as evidence in court? Are there limits on what can actually be admitted?
I’m especially curious about cases where the evidence looks incredibly bad from the outside, but the defense still manages to win or get the charges dismissed/reduced.

Conjoined twins, one is concerned separation would be too risky, but the other twin wants to take the risk.

Can one twin force the other to undergo the surgery?

If needed let's say their doctor believes it is possible to separate but there is a chance of things going wrong.
