Rule of Law
overall this whole experience was good. i learned a lot about the way a lawyer will think and about contracts and negations. i learned all about the civil laws and criminal laws as well.
The Questions
The questions i chose to use related to what i am in. I wanted to think of questioins that were going to involve visual effects and motion graphics. If they did not involve it then it does not really need to be asked. Some of the questions i wanted to ask involved copyright laws on sound, or maybe a explosion. maybe a effect i want to use. i needed to know if there was a a law that says i could not use this effect or if i can use that effect. i needed to know if i needed a contract and what a contract was also. i found out that a contract is "merely a legally enforceable agreement". "For a contract to be enforceable, seven key characteristics must be present". "People regularly make promises, but only some of them are enforceable" in one part i needed to know if i needed the rights to a song. he confirmed what i thought.. which is good that means i learned a lot in this class. just as i thought i needed to have the rights to the song to acutely us it.
Legal Authority
The
way i contacted my lawyer was easy. I originality put something on Face book to
see if anyone knew one i could use. That didn't work. None of my friends
commented on it. After i did that i tried a different approach. I started to
ask some of my family friends. I asked around and it seemed that no one knew a
lawyer i could talk to. I knew if I just called a place I would have a long
process of getting blown down or asked to try and find another place. Then I
hit me. My dad is a Realtor and he had to know at least one. it turned out my
dad had a client who was a lawyer and they are close friends now. My dad helped
him by a house. So I asked my dad if he would help me contact him to help me
with this school project. He was more than happy to help me get a good grade in
this class. He thought it was a good idea to contact a lawyer to know some
copyright rules. He was a bunch of help and he helped me with a lot of question
I had. He said I had some very nice questions that he like. He said some
of my questions would be a tort. "A tort is up to the injured party to seek compensation. She
must hire her own lawyer, who will file a lawsuit. Her lawyer must convince the
court that the defendant breached some legal duty and ought to pay money
damages to the plaintiff"
reasoning of the laws
when i was talking to my lawyer, (who was a friend of my dad) he used a lot of word that made it sound like he knows what he was talking about. taking this class and a few things i have learned to helped me understand what he was saying, he started to explain what a crime was and what a tort was and a civil law.. he was surprised that i knew what those were. "It is a crime to embezzle money from an employer, to steal a car, and to sell cocaine." "Criminal law concerns behavior so threatening that society outlaws it altogether." "Most criminal laws are statutes, passed by Congress or a state legislature." "Civil law is different, and most of this book is about civil law. Civil law regulates the rights and duties between parties." he told me that these are important to what i am going in and how it will effect what i may do. my lawyer was really nice and helped me a lot to understand some of the things i will need to know to further my success in my field of work.
Own Argument and Opinion
when me and my lawyer sat down to talk over the phone i knew what he was going to say was going to be right. when we talked and was done with my questions he told me more that i might want to know. he told me more then i needed which help me out a lot. i agreed with what he had to say. he stated a lot of facts that i know were right. then others that i learned. over all i agreed with what he had to say to me. i toke in what he had to say to help me learn some new things about the law and about copyright laws. he told me what a criminal law and what a civil law is. he also explained what was a torte was to. he also ecplained to me what federalism is. "Criminal law concerns behavior so threatening to society that it is outlawed altogether. Civil law deals with duties and disputes between parties, not outlawed behavior. (p. 7)" "Our federal system of government means that law comes from a national government in Washington, D.C., and from 50 state governments. (p. 5)"
