Similar consolidations are happening all over Connecticut. Meccariello said state lawmakers crafted the legislation to reduce the number of probate courts in the state from 117 to 54. Probate courts are mostly self-sustaining, sending the fees they collect for their services to a state office, which then pays the judge and staff. Southington pays less than $10,000 each year toward maintaining the probate court, springing for items such as paper, postage and scanning documents.

Thrown out of court | Macleans.ca - Canada - Features

There's another concern paralegals share: cost. "It's going to become a lot more expensive to practise," says Wanda Forsythe, chair of the school of legal and public administration at Toronto's Seneca College. And those costs will be passed down to the public. Thanks to a new education requirement, people wanting to take up the profession will now have to pay college tuition for a two- to four-year program; after that there are insurance costs, and a $500 application fee to the law society. Experienced paralegals could skip the education requirement if they paid $1,075 and wrote an exam. (Of [more...]

Is Sexting Child Pornography? « California Family Law Paralegal

After trying to crack down on teenage sexting by charging offenders with felony child-porn offenses, states are rethinking their approach. Perhaps, some argue, a split-second decision made by an impulsive teen mind should not carry the risk of decades on a sex-offender registry.

Fourteen other states are considering new laws that would treat underage sexters differently from adult child pornographers. On [more...]

Greg Sidak of Georgetown University Law School found that the number of telecom lawyers–as measured by membership in the Federal Communications Bar Association–grew by a stunning 73% in the late 1990s. That was largely driven by a 37% hike in FCC spending and a tripling of the number of pages of regulations in the FCC Record in the post-Telecom Act period.
