| |  | | Two Days in the Life of a Civil Court Juror | | by SeventhSibling, Oct 4, 2008 | | The pool of jury candidates is pulled from the state’s listing of registered voters and/or those who have obtained a vehicle operator's license. Jury duty is to be considered a civic responsibility, yet many of us, including me, cringe when we receive a jury notice. | | Comments(1) Liked It: 2 |

 | | Filing a Lawsuit When You Have Been Diagnosed with Mesothelioma | | by Michael Riel, Sep 30, 2008 | | Since the 1800s, people were exposed to asbestos without realizing it. This occurred in places of employment, schools, and even apartment building where people lived without knowing it. As a result of the severity of it, people exposed to it have a legal right to seek action. The fact that most people diagnosed with Mesothelioma don’t live more than a year after being diagnosed means they need to take action fast. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

 | | Human Rights | | by Chanman, Sep 28, 2008 | | Australia's current legal system has limited scope for human rights. The Constitution provides several express gaurantees; the common law system has protected some fundamental human rights too. However, these "protections" are insufficient. The common law system is shackled to the chains of precedent and are subject to change at Parliament's discretion. The Constitution has stood the test of time but its formulation prior to Federation has made it a product of its time - entrenching only the values deemed important at its formulation. In response to these limitations, both statutory and Constitutionally-entrenched bill of rights have been put forward. Should we follow the United States of America with a Constitutionally-entrenched Bill of Rights or should we follow Victoria and Canada with the (Victorian) Charter of Rights? | | Comments(0) Liked It: 1 |
