Threats Of Journalism In Risen

Threats Of Journalism In Risen
Threats to Journalism Over the past few years, threats on journalism increased immensely due to the past attack on September 11, 2001.
Journalists are misrepresented as criminals due to their involvement in leaking information about topics that the government chose to keep
secret. The disclosure of this confidential information forced the Obama administration to pursue journalists and bring them to court. This
attack on journalists may continue or get worse under Donald Trump because Trump has deliberately and strongly shown his dislike towards
media through his speeches and even on his twitter. Trump also feels the need to follow in Obama's footsteps and continue with the legacy of
prosecuting journalists. Nonetheless, even though many journalists ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Journalists are forced to reveal their sources in court regardless of if it will help a case or not. Obama has successfully prosecuted nine cases
against journalists and because of this he has created a leeway for Trump to further silence the media. With this record, Trump can only
increase the number of journalists prosecuted every year. Journalists are people who distribute news to the public so that the people can get
an insight in what is happening in the world and do something about it. However, with the new system that the government is trying to order
it will be hard for news to spread without being sent to testify in

Joe Shlobotnik Washington Bugler Analysis
Anonymity Vs. The Law A reporter of the Washington Bugler, Joe Shlobotnik, wrote a story last year accusing the local director of the
United Way, Dr. Harvey Serene, of embezzling more than $400,000 in funds that were donated to the organization by members of the public.
The story initiated after a call was made from Serene's administrative assistant, and part–time lover, Rose Mary Woods. Woods agreed to
communicate with Shlobotnik on given terms that her name was to be kept anonymous. Shlobotnik agreed on these terms, and promised that
her name would remain unidentified. Disregarding the promise, Shlobotnik went ahead and informed the managing editor of Woods' identity,
following his newspaper's policy. Woods provided Shlobotnik with 117 ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The subpoena that was ordered to Shlobotnik to disclose of any records in his possession that were relatable to the case, can be argued with
the fact that it intrudes on the editorial process, therefore violating the First Amendment – the right the speak without fear of state
interference (RCFP). People that are involved in the case, see a subpoena as an easy and cheap way to get information that's relatable to the
case. Another case that results in a subpoena being quashed includes the Sykes v. Bayor case. A subpoena was issued to blog owner Kathleen
Seidel, who writes about autism issues. In one of her posts, she wrote about the link exposure to mercury to the plaintiff's son's autism. Their
attorney served Seidel with a subpoena, and in return, she provided the judge with a collection of information that was so well argued that
she managed to quash the subpoena

The Ethical Decision-Making Model
I believe the initial considerations are related to Bill making a good faith effort to protect his client (the child) and provide confidentiality
using a sound ethical decision–making model, his ethical identity, the code, and the agreed upon "informed consent". He is now on the
witness stand in a courtroom testifying. His role should be that he is a clinical mental health counselor in private practice and his client is the
child. However, I believe Bill has made some mistakes along the way with his decision–making, the use of the code, and now his ethical
identity is challenged in what could be a high pressure courtroom setting. It does seem that he is not actually sure what his role is at the
moment. In the chain of events leading ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
However, since the mother was most likely the one who initiated the subpoena, then perhaps this was not possible. It does seem at this point
as if communication between Bill and the mother was not sufficient to continue with a sound relationship and there was potential that she
might terminate the counseling services provided by Bill. It would be prudent for Bill to anticipate the need to make a referral. Bill and his
lawyer also could have written a letter to the court stating that they wished to comply with the law, but that Bill was ethically obligated to
testify about them unless compelled to do so by the court or with the consent of the client (APA, 2006). However, since the mother was most
likely the one who initiated the subpoena, then she would have also provided consent. In writing such a letter, Bill and his lawyer could have
also requested that the court consider Bill's obligations to adhere to federal requirements (e.g., the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 [HIPAA]), to protect the interests of the child (APA, 2006). Bill could have cited his ethical standards, which
support him in safeguarding the child's confidences and privileged information (ASCA, FAQ). He could have explained that the state will
gain no new knowledge should he testify, but on the flip side the child may be harmed by my testimony (ASCA,

What Is A Paralegal?
What is a paralegal? Paralegals are a distinguishable group of persons who assist attorneys in the delivery of legal services. Through formal
education, training, and experience, legal assistants have knowledge and expertise regarding the legal system and substantive and procedural
law which qualify them to do work of a legal nature under the supervision of an attorney. (The Paralegal Professional By Walter Lundstein,
Esq. Pg 2) Being a paralegal comes with many responsibilities but most importantly code of ethics. One as a paralegal should always follow
the National Federation of Paralegal Associations code of ethics (NFPA Code of Ethics) To follow these guidelines means to work in an
honorable efficient manner. In the following paragraphs I will discuss various scenarios involving a paralegal working at a law firm and I
will identify the ethical rules the paralegal and/ or the attorney violated and give some examples of how they could have avoided it.
Monday On Monday Carl started working for Dewey, Dewey, and Howe. Carl is assigned to be attorney Howe 's paralegal. After discussing

However, in the event the OIG issues a report upon its completion of its investigation, a copy of the summary, with all contact information
redacted, would be provided to the Mayor's Office, Corporation Counsel, and the Department of Aviation. With regard to the subpoenas, the
OIG is currently not pursuing the materials and information requested therein. Unfortunately, it would not agree to withdraw the subpoenas
at this time, but it is open to discussing the topic after Ms. Hill's interview. The OIG also indicated that it might wish to speak with Jennifer
Kirkendahl, but again, it will not make that decision until after talking with Ms. Hill. We recommend that United agree to produce Ms. Hill
for an informal interview under the terms set out above. We believe such an agreement will demonstrate United's willingness to cooperate
and will assist in persuading the OIG to withdraw its subpoenas. Therefore, kindly advise at your convenience if we are authorized to
produce Ms. Hill for her

Akram Dejam Case Study
Mr. Akram Dejam is a foreign resident alien. He arrived in the United States in 1996 from Yugoslavia. His immigration and naturalization
file indicates that he was born in 1970 in Sarajevo. In connection with his immigration, Mr. Dejam stated that during the years 1988¬ to
1993 he was a student. Recently, the U.S. Office of Special Investigations (OSI) received information that Mr. Dejam was perhaps not just a
student during these years. In fact, he may have been a war criminal, formerly engaged in atrocities during the on–going civil war in his
home country. Based on this information, the OSI is now investigating Mr. Dejam. In connection with this investigation, OSI has issued an
administrative subpoena demanding that Dejam produce documents ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Gecas, 830 F. Supp. 1403 Gecas stated in his application for an Immigrant Visa that, during the years 1938 through 1944, he was a "pupil" in
Lithuania. Gecas swore that this information was true. The petitioner now claims to have evidence that, during this period, Gecas, in fact,
assisted the Nazi forces then occupying Lithuania, and that he participated in the persecution of persons because of their race, religion,
and/or political opinion. Had this information been known to petitioner at the time of Gecas's immigration, he would have been disqualified
from entering the United States. In furtherance of its investigation into Gecas's wartime activities, the petitioner, through its Office of Special
Investigations ("OSI"), issued an administrative subpoena commanding Gecas to give testimony and to produce documents relating both to
his immigration to the United States, and to his activities in Europe between 1940 and 1945. Gecas does not challenge the validity of the
administrative subpoena. Nor does he argue that OSI is without the power to issue such subpoenas. Finally, it is undisputed that, although he
faces the possibility of deportation, Gecas faces no threat of criminal prosecution in the United States. His only complaint is that his answers
to the investigator's questions, along with the production of the requested documents, would expose him to possible criminal prosecution in a
foreign country. Gecas argues that the Fifth Amendment to the

Electronic Communications Privacy Act ( Ecpa )
Abstract
The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) was a pretty progressive law at the time it was enacted. It enhanced the privacy
protection that was originally delineated in the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 by also adding communication
protection for pagers, email, cell phones, service providers, and computer transmissions. The ECPA addressed the legal privacy issues that
were surfacing with the rising use of networks, computers and other new innovations in electronic communications. The first large
computers had been built as early as the 1950s, with the first development of a mass–market microcomputer starting in 1977. The
development of ARPANET in the late 1960s and early 1970s would eventually lead to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The ECPA safeguards electronic, oral, and wire communications during creation, in transit, in storage and relates to electronic mail, phone
conversations, and data that is stored electronically. The intended purpose of the legislation is to reassure customers that their private
information will remain secure from public exposure. The ECPA includes three main provisions for communications privacy titled the
Wiretap Act, Stored Communications Act, and Pen–Register Act.
Wiretap Act
The Wiretap Act has provisions that safeguard an individual's telephonic and computer–based voice communications from being captured,
used or released by another individual. This Act prohibits the listen in on and electronic bugging, the physical custody of bugging or tapping
equipment, as well as the "use or disclosure of information unlawfully obtained" from the use of said equipment." (Unknown, 2013). The Act
also provides exceptions for service providers, in specific instances, and for law enforcement to perform electronic eavesdropping, under the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It affords processes for government entities to acquire judicial consent for obtaining such
communications, and controls the usage and release of this information acquired from legal eavesdropping.
Stored Communications Act
The Stored Communications Act encompasses the rights of

The Aryan National Liberation Front
Arthur "Buzz" Hirsch, a St. Joseph News–Press reporter, conducted a background investigation on the Aryan National Liberation Front
(ANLF). This group is one of white supremacist and anti–government ideology. This group, according to confidential sources, is involved in
harassment and tax evasion. Two incidents, a bombing on February 12th (which two men have been arrested for) and a shooting that took
place on March 10th, are believed to be connected to the ANLF. However, a confidential sources says the ANLF has nothing to do with the
shooting. Recently, police and a member of the prosecutor's office showed up at the News Press offices with a warrant, demanding Hirsch to
turn over all notes, research materials, and recordings relating to the ANLF. Also, he was urged to identify his sources. Hirsch refused to do
both. Whether or not the prosecuting office can demand Hirsch to turn over any information depends on court precedents and current laws.
In Branzburg v. Hayes (1972), the Supreme Court decided the First Amendment did not grant reportorial privilege in the court. This means
journalists and other members of the press cannot use freedom of speech as a defense in order to not testify. This includes if a source was
meant to be confidential. Lower courts interpreted Branzburg differently. In the case of Branzburg, reportorial privilege was unnecessary.
Later with Zerilli v. Smith (1981), the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that reportorial privilege existed.

Ethical Dilemmas In Health And Social Care Case Study
1. Is there an ethical violation, dilemma or concern and, if so, what is it? By Madeline receiving a subpoena duces tecum, she is expected to
personally appear at a deposition or in court with documents in hand. Though, the fact that the patient's authorization to release his/her
information is missing the date will make the subpoena duces tecum invalid. The ethical dilemma is created when Madeline calls the
attorney's office and informs the attorney's legal assistant of the missing element on the authorization and she receives the same document
with a date written within five minutes. This make Madeline suspects that the legal assistant was the one who wrote the date on the
authorization and not the patient. Is it ethical to Madeline ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The History Of Media Shield Laws
This paper will discuss the history of media shield laws in the U.S. and Hawaii. It will argue the pros and cons of the need and importance of
such shield laws in Hawaii to help enhance the First Amendment. According to the West 's Encyclopedia of American Law (n.d.) shield laws
are statues that "make communications between news reporters and informants confidential and privileged, freeing journalists of the
obligation to testify about them in court." The encyclopedia compares this to a doctor–patient, lawyer–client or priest–parishioner privilege.
Where these laws are in action, journalists are free to protect their sources. If subpoenaed by a state court, journalists are free to refuse to
give up their confidential sources or unpublished material. This makes it easier for journalists to report on a broad variety of topics, but these
laws are also controversial because they challenge the government interests when it comes to bringing criminals to justice (Shield Laws,
n.d.). Research shows that Hawaii used to have a shield law – the best in the country according to several people – but it was overturned in
2013. Today, 49 states and the District of Colombia have implemented shield laws of different variation of protection (Riker, 2015). At the
same time, there does not exist any media shield laws at the federal level (Shield Laws 101, n.d.). History of Shield Laws The first
documented case of the need for shield laws for journalists found place in 1848. A journalist was

Piedra advised that the Records Bureau received a fax from Attorney Diamond's office on 8–4–14 and a representative from his office came
in to the Police Department on 8–14–14 to pay the $275.00 for the appearance of Officer Hamilton at the DMV hearing. The representative
from Diamond's office only paid for Officer Hamilton and failed to pay any monies for copies of requested records.
A review of the request by Attorney Diamond's office immediately shows problems for various reasons. First, the production for documents
at the DMV hearing either did not exist or were not in possession of the department. However, even if documents could be produced, the
subpoena is problematic because the request for Hamilton to appear, and the request for documents, were served on the same subpoena.
Normally they are requested separately because the time frames and costs associated with each request are different.
A subpoena for the officer must be accepted if within five business days at a cost of $275.00 but the production of documents is fulfilled
within 10 to 15 calendar days at an additional cost. Attorney Diamond's office gave the bare minimum of 10 days for the production of
documents and failed to pay the appropriate fees which would prevent their release by the department (assuming there were any documents

Evidence must be "relevant to an issue that is in dispute in the case," "material", "established as authentic," and "legally obtained" (2017
Fraud Examiners Manual 2017). Relevant evidence increases or decreases the likelihood of fraud occurring if the evidence had not been
obtained. Material evidence provides valuable information to prove the existence of fraud. Establishing authenticity requires that I show
proof that the evidence I found is legitimate and that no changes occurred between its seizure and utilization in court proceedings. Finally, all
data provided as evidence must be legally obtained. Asking for permission during the audit engagement makes the evidence admissible,
however, denials may result in subpoenas if the case is tried during criminal or civil proceedings. Failure to comply is a law violation, which
results in the evidence's inadmissibility (2017 Fraud Examiners Manual 2017). F. Professionalism & Integrity Professionalism requires me to
act competently during the audit engagement. If I am unable to secure data from an employee's hard drive, I can ask for assistance from a

In this instance as the Social worker, I believe it would be important to recognize that sometimes, as much as we need to respect the feelings
of others, we must also recognize the purpose and goals of the group as a whole. In addition, I would ensure that the criteria for the group is

Dao v. City of Chicago and United Airlines, Inc., Case No. 2017–CH–05227, pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, County
Department, Chancery Division. Moreover, Dr. Dao's attorney has advised our office that additional passengers from Flight 3411 have
contacted his office regarding additional claims potentially asserted against United. Seemingly, those potential claims would also involve the
City. Thus, there exists a heightened degree of concern regarding producing documents, sworn testimony, and other evidence to any entity
outside of and without the protection of the formal rules of discovery while litigation is pending and being contemplated. This is particularly
true here, where the Office of the Inspector General cannot itself seek enforcement of the subpoena, but must instead "look to the
Corporation Counsel when judicial enforcement of a subpoena is necessary." Ferguson, 2013 IL 112488, ¶33; see also OIG Press Release,

Marbury Vs. Madison: Supreme Court Case
The case Marbury v. Madison occurred in 1803, in the District of Columbia. This case really began in the election of 1800, where Thomas
Jefferson beat John Adams out of office. This election caused unrest for the Federalist and his associates, and in the last few days before the
end of his presidency, he appointed multiple justices of peace for D.C. in order to fill the courts with Federalists to oppose the incoming
administration. Their commissions were approved by the government, but Adams didn't have the time to have them sent out before the end
of his presidency. This meant it would become James Madison's, Jefferson's Secretary of State, responsibility to deliver them, but Jefferson
ordered him not to. Soon after catching word that William Marbury, one of the chosen justices, would not be receiving his commission, he
spoke out to the Supreme Court and petitioned for a writ of mandamus, which is a legal order, that would basically force Madison to give an
explanation as to why he would not be receiving his commission. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The unanimous decision stated that while Marbury did deserve his commission, the Supreme Court would not force Madison to deliver it to
him, the only power able to do that would be by the Constitution, and there wasn't anything in the document that would grant the Supreme
Court to issue this order, and Congress, in Justice Marshall's opinion, didn't have that power either. In the end, Marbury never became a
justice of the peace, but instead, a very important precedent was

Son Therapy Case Study

mind of the principle 1.11 from the AAMFT Code of ethics I would not abandonment the client. Unless the client mother come up with
alternative means of payment for her son therapy, I would take the action of making reasonable arrangement for continuation of treatment

Once the therapist has made the determination of termination she/he must prepare the client for termination by explaining the process and
listen how the client feel about the termination process (Shaw, 2015). Also, the therapist should include some benefits of the new service that
has been recommended through referral. This would help the client to transition to a new service in a more healthy and therapeutic way
(Caldwell, 2015).
After having one year of therapy with the mother son, I received a subpoena from the mother lawyer asking me to be part of the court
proceeding, with the mother asking the court to grant her sole custody of her child. The subpoena was asking me to provide information
concerning the divorce and child custody as addressed in the previous therapy and that I will be called to testify. The action that I would take
is first thing that would probably do in my current dilemma dealing with the subpoena would be to lawyer–up myself seeking and obtaining
legal advice from an attorney (Shaw, 2015). Also, I would review the AAMFT Code of Ethics to see what it entail in reference to the
concerns about subpoena as well as finding out what the local, state, and federal laws about subpoena (Caldwell, 2015).
The son is the only one that was receiving therapy but the son is ten years old which constitute the son as being a minor child by law.
Therefore the minor child which is son must have the

Case Study: Verizon Legal Compliance
the subpoena was sent to Verizon Legal Compliance by Michael Trudeau on October 31, 2011. The subpoena specifically requested:
"subscriber and billing listings and all calls derived from a special computer run regarding incoming and outgoing calls, and subscriber and
billing listings made to and from telephone numbers (508) 939–9183 and (508) 693–9286 from October 17, 2011 to October 19, 2011."
Verizon Legal Compliance responded to the administrative subpoena with a ten–page fax on November 17, 2011. [Attachment #4] The
contents of the fax included a cover sheet, a blank page, five pages of phone records, and a fax confirmation sheet; it is unknown what pages
nine and ten included, as it was not provided to bar counsel. It is possible that pages nine and ten were copies of the original faxed subpoena.
The records provided only appear to be a list of phone numbers and do not indicate which subpoenaed number they correlate with, when a
call was made, and if a call was made or received. Laura Marshard's home number, Gabe Grasing's home number, and Mary Grasing's home
phone number all appear on the list. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In addition to specific phone numbers, all subpoenas included language requesting that the carrier search for any phone lines associated with
Laura Marshard, Gabe Grasing, and Mary Grasing. [Attachment #5] Per bar counsel's subpoena to Verizon landline, bar counsel learned that
Gabe Grasing's home landline was owned by Comcast from 10.1.11 through 11.6.11, therefore it is reasonable to the conclude that the
records the DA's Office sent an administrative subpoena for only pertain to Mary Grasing. The significance of this will be discussed further

The parties or their attorneys have an opportunity to explain their view of the dispute. Arbitration is the submission of a disputed matter to an

Health Records Pretend you supervise the correspondence unit of the health information services department of a medical center. Today, you
received a subpoena duces tectum from an attorney, demanding either the originals or copies of all health records concerning Mary Smith,
who allegedly is or was a patient of the medical center. The subpoena lacks sufficient information for you to determine whether Mary Smith
is or was a patient in your facility. The subpoena is not accompanied by a valid authorization to release information for Mary Smith, as
required in your state. (Case Study, p. 62) How should you respond to the subpoena? In addition to providing the legal rational for your
response, describe the necessary information the subpoena should have included. Assuming Mary Smith was a patient at the facility, who has
ownership over her health record – Mary Smith or the medical center? A Subpoena is a legal document or order requiring an individual to

Newport News Shipbuilding And Dry Dock Company Case Study
Facts
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company (NNS) performs designs, construction, repair and overhaul for ships, primarily for the
United States Navy. On February 1987, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) issued a subpoena duces tecum to NNS demanding
financial statements, federal income tax return, Virginia income tax return and associated schedules for the period 1 January 1983 to 1987.
NNS provided the state tax returns to DCAA but withheld the reminder of the subpoenaed documents claiming the demand was unlawful
and unenforceable and filed a declaratory judgement action which the Government moved to dismiss. The district court denied DCAA's
order for the documents and the Government appealed this decision. Issue

In this situation DCAA subpoenaed trial balance, adjusting entries, segment financial workpapers, consolidating entries, formal consolidated
balance sheet, income statement, Federal income tax return and any other associated document (state income tax return was provided to
DCAA.)
In its defense, NNS claimed that DCAA may subpoena materials that it is used only for determining contract costs or data that is utilized for
allocating costs to specific Government contracts. However, these documents provide DCAA with factual data that is used to verify actual
cost both direct and indirect (i.e. G&A overhead cost.) The court rejected NNS's argument that proposes that DCAA can only review cost or
pricing data used to calculate costs charged to the Government.
The basis of the rejection is documented in 10 U.S.C. Sec. 2313(a) and 2306a(f)(1) which authorize DCAA to subpoena objective factual
documents that can be used to evaluate the "accuracy, completeness, and currency of cost or pricing

Watergate Scandal Of United States Vs. Nixon
In the landmark court case of United States vs. Nixon the court had denied Nixon's presidential power of executive privilege to halt the
subpoena against him. The court concluded that his exercised power was not absolute and the need for evidence outweighed the presidential
privilege as it was infringing on a criminal case. This case against Nixon was a result of one of the worst presidential scandals in U.S.
history. The scandal was the Watergate scandal.
The presidential scandal known as Watergate was a shameful incident within the history of American presidents. It was a scandal that later
set precedent on the limitation of presidential powers. It was a time when the president was viewed as a tyrannical power. Furthermore as a
result, there were numerous consequences, which led to reforms that are still impacting our government as well as the presidency. The many
crimes that Nixon and his administration committed in attempt to cover up involvement throughout the Watergate ordeal resulted in the
prosecution of many of high–level government officials. It also led to the only presidential resignation in history in August of 1974.
During this time in American history, America was in the midst of the Vietnam War, a war that nobody liked or really understood. This
presidential scandal damaged the image of President Nixon and subsequently tarnished America's outlook on the presidency as well. This
event further stimulated an era of public distrust towards the American

The Lowe's Defendants also assert a cause of action for breach of contract against Groundtec claiming that it breached paragraphs 23 and 26
in the Agreement. See Exhibit A, at ¶¶ 23–28.
In support of these allegations, the Lowe's Defendants cite to the insurance provision at paragraph 23 in the Agreement, and allege that
Groundtec was required to name Lowe's as an additional insured on Groundtec's general liability policy. See Exhibit A, at ¶ 11. The Lowe's
Defendants also cite to the indemnity provision at paragraph 26 in the Agreement and allege that Groundtec was required to defend and
indemnify Lowe's as an additional insured on Groundtec's general liability policy. See Exhibit A, at ¶ 11. At all relevant times, Groundtec
was insured by and through a general liability insurance policy issued by Movant, Frederick Mutual Insurance Company, which has a

Md. Rule 2–402(b)(2). The merits of Respondents' contentions are addressed in Parts I (B), infra. Nevertheless, the plethora of notice that
50NL has received regarding the grounds for Respondents' objection is more than sufficient so as to permit this Court to reach the questions
as to whether the requested discovery is unduly burdensome or costly, and whether 50NL's need outweighs the burden and cost. II. The
Discovery Requested by 50NL is Unduly Burdensome and Costly, and 50NL's Need Does Not Outweigh Avpro's Burden and Cost. The
relevant inquiry in this matter is whether the discovery requested of Avpro is unduly burdensome and costly, and if so, whether 50NL has
shown that its "need for the discovery outweighs the burden and cost of locating, retrieving, and producing the information." Md. Rule 2–
402(b)(2) (emphasis added). Notably, the plain and unambiguous text of this rule indicates that upon a prima facie showing of undue burden
or cost, 50NL must affirmatively show that its need for the discovery outweighs Avpro's burden and cost

Requestor Case Study
1. Determine if the request is valid–verify identity and authority of the requestor. Request legal picture identification, such as a driver's

law for specific requirements. 3. Determine the legal power of the document: Patient or legal guardian request via phone–information may
not be disclosed without written authorization. Patient or legal guardian request via e–mail–these requests are difficult to authenticate.
Organizations should outline a policy to deal with these requests in accordance with state laws. Patient or legal guardian request via formal

Patient Privacy Laws
1. State laws provide a patient with access to his or her Health Information. Insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies may have
access to a patient's health information since this authorization was signed and dated by the patient. I would release this information to
Aetna. 2. Health Information must be maintained in compliance with legal and ethical standards. Healthcare organizations must be very
careful in how they use this information on patients. Patient privacy laws govern access and use of all information. I don't think that the
medical student or the department member should be able to review these records because more than the MI might be found in these records.
I would not release these records to the student although I would

The Animal Litigation Files And Changed The Status Of The...
On Monday, August 1, I spend a majority of my day organizing various documents using "City Law." First, I went through the animal
litigation files and changed the status of the closed cases from "open" to "closed." Most animal litigation files can be closed out once the
owner of the animal receives a notice stating that their animal has been involved in an attack. After this, I spent some time filing witness
subpoenas. I went through a list of witnesses who were called to court to testify and filed their information into "City Law." This will then
notify the finance department to pay these witnesses for their time. When a witness is called to court, they are provided with five dollars for
their appearance as well as twenty cents per mile that they drove from their home. I analyzed the witness forms filled out by the police
department and determine if the witnesses appeared in court on the day they were called. I then filed the form as "serve subpoena" or "non–
serve subpoena." The finance department will then be notified to send a payment only to those who appeared. In the city of Manitowoc, there
is both a reward and a punishment when subpoenaing witnesses to court. If a witness does appear, they receive the previously mentioned five
dollars plus milage, but if a witness does not appear, they receive a citation and a fine for contempt of court. Through completing
assignments such as those that I worked on today, I have learned a lot about the Manitowoc Municipal Code and

The Impeachment Of A Foreclosure Sale
Harding further asks us to confirm that the trial judge complied with the requirements of Md. Rule 14–305(e) when she ratified the

requests, however, are not properly presented before this appellate court. Moreover, Harding has failed to present an argument that would
overcome the presumption of legitimacy we afford to the ratification of a foreclosure sale. Maryland Rule 14–305(e) provides:
[t]he court shall ratify the sale if (1) the time for filing exceptions pursuant to section (d) of this Rule has expired and exceptions to the report
either were not filed or were filed but overruled, and (2) the court is satisfied that the sale was fairly and properly made. . . .

Assignment : 27 Ways To Avoid Losing Your Appeal
27 Ways To Avoid Losing Your Appeal
1. File Your Appeal On Time
Any appeal must be filed within 30 days of the mailing date of the Employment Development Department's appealable document. The
mailing date appears on the appealable document.
Acceptable Cause for Late Appeals
If you as the claimant, sent your appeal AFTER the deadline established, you must have good cause for failing to file within the time period.
Good cause usually means you were not permitted from making the deadline by situations beyond your control and which could not have
been realistically anticipated. Justifications like you forgot or you missed checking the deadline on the Department's appealable document do
not constitute what could be seen as good cause.
The ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The appeal document should also include the appellant's telephone number and/or electronic address; the date or case number of the
department action that is being appealed; a succinct statement of the reasons for the appeal; any requirement for language assistance or
special accommodation; and the appellant's signature and the date signed.
2. In Case Your Appeal Was Filed Late, You Have To Be Prepared To State The Reasons
It's important to consider that a late appeal will be rejected if the appellant fails to establish good cause for the delay. Appellants may defeat
their own appeal in occasion by sending a representative to the hearing who is ready to present proof on the main issues of the case but is not
informed about the reason behind the late filing of the appeal.
3. Prepare Your Case Before The Hearing
Memories fade quickly, witnesses move or get transfer, documents are lost. In other words, evidence can rapidly grow stale.
Right after you file an appeal or learn that the other party has filed one, you should interview witnesses, revise the necessary documents and
records and start to round up the essential evidence necessary to present your appeal, as soon as you can.
The best place to begin is the Department's case file. You may set to revise this file by contacting the Office

This transgender equal pay case was moved up from an "A" classification to "SA" because, the topic of gender identity is controversial in
our current society and, the results of this case may pave the way for future legislation (i.e. Equal Pay Act coverage, Title VII coverage,
LGBTQ laws etc.) to become more encompassing. The Charging Party ("CP") was an Assistant Manager who identified as a female and was
denied promotion to Store Manager after several attempts – she had excellent performance evaluations and was the highest in seniority
amongst Assistant Managers. In one instance, CP voiced her interest in a temporary Store Manager role that appeared when the current Store
Manager left on her maternity leave. The Respondent ("R") promoted a less qualified candidate (also an Assistant Manager) to the position
instead. Additionally, this individual was allowed to keep the $2/hour wage increase even after resuming his initial Assistant Manager role.
Other instances when R consciously overlooked CP includes: 1) sending her co–workers that were trained by CP to Store Manager training
classes for future promotion whilst denying CP of the opportunity and 2) claiming that CP has revoked interest in promotion after CP
