One of the problems with our judicial system is that anyone can file a frivolous lawsuit. Just pay the filing fees and find an attorney who does not take the time to investigate and learn the truth about the facts.
The frivolity of the lawsuit filed against me by Jane Un is obvious: Typically in these cases, one attaches a written agreement evidencing such agreement. And in all cases when an attorney undertakes representation, such undertaking is evidenced by a written retainer agreement as compelled by the California State Bar. None exists in this case, because Jane Un was never my client. Nowhere in the court's own records is there, or can be found, any reference to such representation by myself, but of four or five other attorneys. Ms. Un's credibility is, to say the least, suspect.

Abandoning interest in a partnership which owns real property operating at a loss may result in either a regular or capital loss depending on how the interest was abandoned. Receipt of consideration at the time of abandonment qualifies the loss as capital rather than regular. The taxpayer is also liable for cancellation of debt income if the debt which attaches to the partnership and allowed the loss is forgiven at a later date. Two recent cases which exemplify this process are presented.

Walter Rickard, foreman
Seventeen years ago, I started as a felt cutter at H. Gerstner & Sons, a century-old company that handcrafts wooden toolboxes, jewelry cases and attaches. After a few years of learning from a 55- year employee all the different steps in finishing, I now work in the same job my father had more than 25 years ago: Finishing department foreman. It's enjoyable when you take something raw and see how beautiful it can become. I'm very proud of our boxes. I feel a real sense of accomplishment when I'm inspecting them. People have been collecting our toolboxes for years--we even have a club for collectors. I personally own 10 or 12 boxes, some of which were damaged and I fixed up myself. We use mostly cherry, walnut and oak, but are starting to get into more exotic w...

The right to counsel is one of the most established tenets of criminal law. But a recent U.S. Supreme Court case could lead more trial courts to find a right to counsel in civil cases where litigants face the potential loss of liberty or other rights, and procedural protections are lacking.
The case, Turner v. Rogers, "sets a precedent allowing judges to be a little more proactive in deciding when pro se litigants" can get appointed counsel in civil cases, said Albert S. Dandridge, a partner in the Philadelphia office of Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis who has written about the ruling's implications.

PRESIDENT Barack Obama has never looked more vulnerable. His poll numbers keep dropping. The economic news is still grim. And his team's political sense often seems to be missing.
Take the recent report that White House senior staff were heartened by hearing historian Michael Beschloss tell them that Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan had each won re-election even though unemployment was high.
