Such, increasingly, are the legal choices facing men who owe child support. A Kentucky family court judge has given repeat offenders who are in contempt the option of a vasectomy or 30 days' jail time. And courts elsewhere in the United States are placing similar conception limits on parents. At least one legal adviser predicts the issue will eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court.

Extractions: We are Boston-area disability lawyers, fighting for the right of disabled individuals to full participation in our society, including the right to employment and educational accommodation. Discrimination against persons with handicaps or disabilities is prohibited by two major federal statutes, the AmericansWith Disabilities Act and in Section 504 the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. sec. 794) . In addition the Massachusetts Constitution (Article 114 of the Amendments) prohibits discrimination of otherwise qualified persons on the basis of handicap, which is enforceable under Ch. 93, s. 103 of the general laws. Together they stand for the proposition that no otherwise qualified individual will be denied participation in or the benefits of a program on the basis of handicap or disability Congress first began seriously to address these problems in 1973 with passage of the Rehabilitation Act, including section 504. Modeling it after Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, "[C]ongress intended Section 504 to be a broad civil rights act aimed at providing equal opportunities for the handicapped."

Extractions: Attorney at Law It would be very convenient if all state and federal codes, statutes, and caselaw were available on the World Wide Web. This would give lay people easy access to the laws that they must follow and it would allow attorneys to do legal research without having to leave their office to go to a law library, or pay for expensive collections of casebooks. Unfortunately, economic realities dictate that we may never see all of the substantive law of all the states on the Web. Several states receive quite a bit of income by selling the exclusive rights to publish that state's caselaw. In addition, it is quite expensive to publish and maintain a web site, and money for such a project is not available in all states. Caselaw on the Web ideally would include decisions from at least the last 30 years, a sophistocated search engine for locating relevant law, case summaries, headnotes, etc. Providing all of these on a Web site would be very expensive. Given the above, it is impressive how much substantive law

Extractions: Reports Welcome to the Home Page for Vermont Attorney General William H. Sorrell. The Attorney General is the chief law enforcement officer in the state. He is charged with representing the state in all matters in which the state is a party or has an interest. More about the Office of the Vermont Attorney General Breaking News On June 7th, 2004, Attorney General William H. Sorrell and Senators Dick Sears (Bennington) and John Bloomer (Rutland) announced at a press conference in Manchester today that a bill to protect consumers from identity theft has been passed by the Legislature. Governor Jim Douglas is expected to sign the bill into law tomorrow. The bill creates a new crime of identity theft, and provides new tools to assist victims. Identity theft is a big problem getting bigger both here in Vermont and nationally. The financial losses to victims, both individuals and businesses, are staggering, said Attorney General Sorrell. Identity theft occurs when a thief takes over a consumers entire identity by stealing critical private information (such as SSN, drivers license number, address, credit card number or bank account number) so that the thief can use the stolen information to obtain illegal loans or credit lines to buy goods or services under the stolen name. Usually the identity thief changes the consumers mailing address on new or old accounts to hide his or her illegal activities.

Extractions: Despite Denials by HHS, Civil Exemptions Do Undermine Parental Legal Responsibility to Provide Care Common Law Does Not Effectively Restore Parental Duty When the Duty is Confused or Negated by Exemptions The cornerstone of present HHS policy on the exemptions is to allow states to exempt parents from neglect charges - thereby apparently absolving parents from responsibility for providing medical care. HHS, however, has alternatively argued that civil exemptions do not really negate such responsibility (in the absence of specific criminal statutes) since the common law provides for a duty to care. However, common law in the absence of a specific statute, provides no enforcement capability, so parents will have no incentive to carry out a common law duty when a specific statute appears to absolve them of the specific duty. Serious Ambiguities in Laws Confuse and Undermine Parental Duty to Care Civil religious exemptions are a maze of legal ambiguities, open to opposite interpretations. Either the parent must rely on spiritual healing no matter what the circumstances, or only in limited, non-serious circumstances.

Extractions: Advanced Search About NCSL Services Overview ... Issue Areas var doctitle=document.title document.write(doctitle) Add to My NCSL Law enforcement agencies estimate that electronic communications are a factor in from 20 percent to 40 percent of all stalking cases. Forty-four states now have laws that explicitly include electronic forms of communication within stalking or harassment laws. State laws that do not include specific references to electronic communication may still apply to those who threaten or harass others online, but specific language can make the laws easier to enforce. Two reports from the U.S. Department of Justice provide detailed information on cyberstalking: Stalking and Domestic Violence: Report to Congress (May 2001) and Cyberstalking: A New Challenge for Law Enforcement and Industry (Aug. 1999). CyberAge Stalking , from LLRX.com , discusses the prevalence of cyberstalking and outlines state and federal statutes and case law. It also provides resources and information about how to protect against this crime. Cyberstalking: Navigating a Maze of Laws New York Law Journal , July 2002) describes various statutory definitions and provisions in several state cyberstalking laws.
