Attorney General Jim Petro Cracks Down on Telemarketer for Violating the Do Not Call Registry December 16, 2003 COLUMBUS - Attorney General Jim Petro today announced that he filed a lawsuit against Better Home Improvements, Co. The complaint alleges that the company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by calling numbers that Ohio consumers registered with the National Do Not Call registry. Consumers also complained that they received calls from this company after requesting to be put on the company's internal Do Not Call list. "Telemarketers need to be responsible in their business practices and honor the Do Not Call registry," said Attorney General Jim Petro. "We will take action to ensure that there is compliance with the Do Not Call laws." There were over 60 complaints filed with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) between October 17, 2003 and December 12, 2003. Better Home Improvements, Co. called some consumers more than once, causing them to file multiple complaints against the business. Under the TCPA, the court may award from $500 to $1,500 in damages per violation. The Attorney General is also requesting a civil penalty of $25,000 per violation for violating the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act. Attorney General Petro has asked the court to prohibit Better Home Improvements, Co. from inappropriately calling telephone numbers on the registry.

Also calling for the monument to be relocated was Attorney General William Pryor, who remains the target of a filibuster in Washington, DC over his possible appointment to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Pryor has been a key supporter of Justice Moore in the past and gone on record as declaring that the Commandments are the basis of the Western legal canon. "The rule of law means that no person, including the chief justice of Alabama, is above the law," Pryor told a new conference. "When courts resolve disputes, we all must obey the orders of these courts even when we disagree with those orders." Moore, who ordered the placement of the controversial 5,280-lb granite religious monument in the foyer of the Judicial Building, has been a colorful and incendiary hero to

About the Alaska Court System Introduction The Supreme Court Supreme Court Jurisdiction Supreme Court Justices ... What is a Court Case? Introduction There are four levels of courts in the Alaska Court System, each with different powers, duties and responsibilities. Alaska has a unified, centrally administered, and totally state-funded judicial system. Municipal governments do not maintain separate court systems. The four levels of courts in the Alaska Court System are the supreme court, the court of appeals, the superior court and the district court. The supreme court and the court of appeals are appellate courts, while the superior and district courts are trial courts. Jurisdiction and responsibilities of each level of court are set out in Title 22 of the Alaska Statutes. The supreme court and the superior court were established in the Alaska Constitution. In 1959, the legislature created a district court for each judicial district and granted power to the supreme court to increase or decrease the number of district court judges. In 1980, the legislature created a court of appeals. The chief justice of the Alaska Supreme Court is the administrative head of the Alaska Court System. An administrative director is appointed by the chief justice with concurrence of the supreme court. The director supervises the administration of all courts in the state.

Texas-Mexico Border Wednesday, February 5, 2003 TWO AT HOUSTON PHYSICAL THERAPY CLINIC PLEAD GUILTY TO HEALTH CARE FRAUD Seven Others Indicted in Scheme to Defraud Texas, U.S. of Millions AUSTIN A Houston physical therapy clinic owner pleaded guilty this morning in federal court to charges of health care fraud. "This scheme amounted to fraudulent billings of millions of dollars, in concert with other clinics," said Attorney General Greg Abbott. "It also included payment of kickbacks to employees and other individuals for Medicare/Medicaid patient referrals to the clinic." Assistant U.S. Attorney Sam Louis of Houston accepted a plea of health care fraud today from Jonathan Elliott Jackson, 40. His mother, Rubylene Jackson Jones, 65, an employee of her son's Park Plaza Physical Medicine clinic at 1213 Hermann Drive, pleaded guilty Monday. Investigators for the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit initiated this case in 1998. Jones conducted medical evaluations of mostly elderly Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries at their homes, and Jackson's clinic falsely billed for physician evaluations. She also received kickbacks for patient referrals. The two entered the pleas before U.S. District Judge Vanessa Gilmore. Sentencing is scheduled for May 12.

Under the Judiciary Act, the United States Attorneys were limited to handling legal matters for the federal government within their own districts, while the Attorney General handled only the litigation which went to the Supreme Court. The Attorney General was primarily counsellor to the President and department heads. Therefore, individual District Attorneys (United States Attorneys) were autonomous but isolated. This was a deliberate move by Congress and can be seen as part of the compromise that the Federalists and the Anti-federalists were trying to forge.

The Attorney General as Champion of the Public Interest Home About Office History /The Attorney General as Champion of the Public Interest The office of the Attorney General has its roots in fifteenth century England, where the Attorney General, as the king's attorney, was considered not only the legal representative of the crown but also the guardian of the public interest. The office of Attorney General as established by the colonies and later the States, no longer drew its authority from the king which made it even more clearly an office dedicated to the people. The highest court of Kentucky characterized the modern office in this way: When this country promulgated its Declaration of Independence, the writers of that instrument in discussing the inalienable rights of man stated: That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed....Thus, the source of authority of the Attorney General is the people who establish the government, and his primary obligation is to the people.

The Judicial System Gibraltar Magistrates Court Introduction The judicial system of Gibraltar is based entirely on the English system, except for minor modifications which are required because of its peculiarities. There is a Magistrates' Court presided over by a Stipendiary Magistrate or, in his absence, by lay Magistrates. The Supreme Court of Gibraltar has a criminal jurisdiction similar to that of the English Crown Court, and a civil jurisdiction which is equivalent to that of the English High Court. There is also a Court of Appeal for Gibraltar, which is not resident, but holds three sessions each year. The Justices of Appeal are in the main, drawn from the English Court of Appeal. In the Supreme Court, criminal trials are by Jury whilst in civil cases Judges usually sit alone. There are two Judges, one of whom is the Chief Justice, and so, head of the Judiciary. The legally qualified Registrar of the Supreme Court also holds the office of Admiralty Marshal. The admiralty jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Gibraltar is known in the shipping world internationally, and deals with a considerable volume of work. On account of the work of the Admiralty Marshal through the years, the Port of Gibraltar has a reputation as a good place at which to be arrested.
