Pro bono publico if you will. You're boned even by that standard- the motivation just has to be "significant" to trigger the rule, not the "most significant". Proof seems like the obstacle there. joat mon posted:So you are asking "how is leggal avize formed?" But you're asking for a friend!

My post to the occupation thread was Discendo Vox posted:Dowd's been arrested. This is one of the earlier occupiers. The charges were unrelated to the occupation, a prior theft of a firearm.

We had a lawyer from a big divorce firm give a talk at our law school and he told us if we were going to get a divorce, we should totes talk to every lawyer in town first. It's definitely bad advice, but divorce lawyers seem to like giving it.

My wife and I sat down and discussed how we would split our assets before even talking to a lawyer, and are now using the same lawyer. Because we're both well adjusted adults who aren't trying to cut off our own nose to spite our face. But apparently that's uncommon.

KillHour posted:Are those even legal? Or do they give them some fake "Congratulations, you're divorced!" certificate? If done properly, yes. If you're charging $150, probably not. edit: The "if done properly" assumes compliance with the rules of disciplinary conduct regarding appropriate representation, and conflicts of interest. The problem is when the couple starts squabbling, the attorney can find himself representing two clients with disparate interests, and then he's in a conflict. blarzgh fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Feb 9, 2016 |

Proof certainly is the obstacle, along with what is "significant." I don't know what Oregon considers significant, and I will admit that generally when I've given people free legal services with the hopes of more work in the future, it's because they mentioned it to me first. But if you can answer "yes" when asked whether you would provide the pro bono services even if you know you will never get any business from it in the future, how can it possibly be a "significant" motivation?

You live in a no fault state, you don't have to prove that he's an rear end in a top hat or abusive or anything. You just have to say 'I don't want to be married anymore' and like Miss Manners says, 'No' is a complete sentence. The law is not for resolving relationship issues, it's for your financials unless you need a restraining order or something. You should perhaps stop cheating on him until you sort this out since the law people said that will count against you, and work with your therapist on your issues. And maybe we can ALL pledge to keep the EN where it belongs?

My legal advice is to have kids with either the husband or the side guy, but play"guess who" regarding paternity. But I'm a bad lawyer.

I dunno if it's a but for test or what- absent language I'd think the standard would be lower in normal legal interpretation, but hey, lawyers regulating lawyers. Remember, though, this is specifically in a context where initial contact was them driving up to the compound and handing the dude standing there illegally with a rifle their ADVERTISING MATERIAL. There's another part of the same rule that's apparently Oregon-specific that may come into play: quote:A lawyer shall not solicit professional employment by written, recorded or electronic communication or by in-person, telephone or real-time electronic contact even when not otherwise prohibited by paragraph (a), if: Hot Dog Day #91 posted:My legal advice is to have kids with either the husband or the side guy, but play"guess who" regarding paternity.

Hot Dog Day #91 posted:Including filling fees? Yup. But each of my contracts has a clause that says if you can't agree and I have to do something besides draw up papers, it's a contested divorce and my contract gets renegotiated. 90% are copy and paste work, no joke. And then I can usually up sell them on a will and mpoa. G-Mawwwwwww fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Feb 10, 2016 |

Forgive my lack of civics education: A bill (resolution?) H.R.3016 was passed by the House but I think it's being voted on by committee. Does this mean it doesn't go in front of all Reps who showed up to work that day, just this very small group? If it was passed by this committee, who votes on it when it goes to the Senate?

Yes, it passed the house as a whole (check under Actions in the drop down box), and yes, if a bill isn't scheduled for a vote by the House as a whole (also called a floor vote) it dies at the end of the congressional session.

You also need to find out if there's a Senate counterpart bill which might see Senate action instead of the House bill. And it might get referred to a Senate committee before going to the Senate floor (if it does go to the Senate floor), so you would want to check that as well. But get alerts should help.

Did you know that the ionic particles in silicone are what inhibit cunductionness of electric signals in computer chips? If you just dip the circuit in iodine (ionized water), the water will absorb the ions from the silicon particulate, and quadruple or more your processing speed! Manufacturers don't want you to know this, so they can manufacture the same chips, but sell them for different prices and just "dip" the ones they want to sell as faster chips. This is me doing the computer version of Sovereign Citizens.
