The question many ask regarding this question is whether or not this should be legal, to assisted in someone’s suicide?A new clarification has been given to the law about helping someone to commit suicide, there has been a number of factors given, which will be considered when dealing with each case, i.e. if the accomplice was acting out of compassion or for their own gain (financially etc).

I understand why this is such a divided topic and can be hard to work out whether you was doing this to help a loved one and put them out of their pain however people may take advantage of this and this is where the problem lies.

Council Tax is one of those things that we all must pay no matter what, failure to pay can lead to prosecution and these do not take likely to missed payments or delays. Many have occurred additional charges due to things that have not even been their own fault such as processing your house address.People always ask the question what is it actually for when we pay tax on everything else, well I might be able to shed some light on that for a few people, the main reason for Council Tax really is for maintenance of roads, street lights and stuff like that really.

Common law forms the basis of the legal system in England and many other English-speaking countries.

Common law was invented in England by three courts — King’s Bench, Exchequer, and the Court of Common Pleas — in order to establish a system of law that could supersede the judgments of local courts.

The term common law can also refer to the precedent-based element within the legal system, as opposed to statutory law and legislation.

The term common law also underlines the fact that this type of law did not originate from equity, maritime, and other special branches of law. Statues serve as brief explanations of common law, and therefore are not very explanatory.

For many law and insurance firms sponsorship is key the key to promoting their company / organisation we mainly see the larger companies on shirts of football teams as these companies pay the teams huge amounts of money to sponsor them.

I am in no doubt that these firms make their money back with the exposure generated from being a sponsor. Look at the likes of Manchester United this is a globally recognised team who travel around the world whether on pre season tours or in the competitions the sponsor and team both get huge exposure.

If you are considering a career in law do not be put off by the work load as there is many benefits to come once qualified. Some top tips to consider have been listed below:

1) Be realistic

When there’s so much competition, firms look at both your academic background and which university you went to. If you don’t think you can beat the competition, apply to firms further down the pecking order.

2) Work hard

Make sure you do get the grades you need. If you are doing you’re a-levels you have plenty of time to get your act together.

3) Get some work experience

It’s never too early to start getting work experience. Sure, most big firms won’t offer placements to anyone not at university. But, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t go to a local firm and shadow someone or sit in the public gallery at your local law courts.

4) Specialism’s

Think carefully about the type of law that would suit you. A common mistake students make is they have a misguided view of what lawyers do.

5) Firm size

Lastly, think very carefully about the type of firm you want to work in. High Street firms are smaller and may have only three partners. In contrast, the bigger firms will have around 200 partners and 130 trainees. Both have different benefits so it’s important to work out what’s best for you.

Spoon-bending celebrity, Uri Geller, has taken legal action against CNN. The American news channel broadcast an interview in which someone said that Geller made money out of setting up Michael Jackson’s infamous interview with Martin Bashir.

The person in question was Jackson’s dermatologist. Quite why he isn’t being sued, I’m not sure. Geller is using Paul Tweed as his lawyer, who has also represented Harrison Ford, Liam Neeson and Van Morrison.

I’d normally put a closing line about what else Geller had been up to recently, but I don’t think he’s done owt. Nothing worth hearing about anyway.

Apparently, over half of people believe that the law should protect people who clear snow from in front of their houses if people subsequently fall over on the cleared path.

I saw quite a lot of people attempting to do this during the recent heavy snowfall. My advice would be, if it’s snowing heavily and the snow’s deep, it’s probably less slippery than what you’ll create by smearing the pavement with mushed snow and leaving it to freeze over again. I’d also add that sprinkling salt might work when there’s a bit of a frost, but when snow’s three feet deep, it ain’t going to do a lot.

Hollywood studios who think they can copyright every word in the English language have struck another blow in the ongoing war against small refigeration companies in Northampton. MGM Studios is threatening to sue 700 refrigeration for breach of copyright.

700 refrigeration have foolishly adapted the phrase ‘licence to kill’ turning it into ‘licence to chill’ in the kind of wordplay that has never before been seen in all the decades that James Bond has been so prominent in popular culture.

MGM has seen red that a very small firm in an unrelated industry might profit to a very small degree through a play on words based on THEIR WORDS.

The Government is not going to make much effort with equal rights proposals after the church pointed out it would make it difficult to be prejudiced against gays.

The church is keen to deny jobs to homosexuals and believes that equal rights legislation might cause it problems in this regard.

Slightly mental purveyor of arbitrary double standards, Harriet Harman, says that the law in its current state will be fine, because while religious groups can’t be prejudiced when employing book keepers, cleaners and the like, when it comes to the proper jobs, they can still turn a man away because he prefers bottoms.

Bigoted religious leaders throughout the country have welcomed the move.

The Government is putting the full weight of the law behind its bid to combat binge drinking. The devastating move, which should send shockwaves through the blubbery carcasses of the nation’s hardened drinkers, will see councils gain the ability to maybe close a few pubs for three hours between 3am and 6am.

If I could have been bothered, I’d have gone and asked some local alcoholics how they felt about this and one would have said:

“I’m not happy. Not happy at all. With only 21 hours of drinking each day, I’ve barely got time to get half-cut. What am I going to do between 3am and 6am? Sleep?”
