Lawmakers are coming to grips with so-called "revenge porn," as Liz Halloran reports for NPR, which means they're looking for ways to criminalize it. After all, there probably should be a way to discourage a spouse or lover - usually a former spouse or lover - from posting images or videos of you online without your consent. But as we're coming to find, laws that attempt to criminalize revenge porn in the name of safeguarding privacy run up against First Amendment free speech protections. What Is Revenge Porn? Revenge porn, according to Wikipedia, is ...

It was a most amazing story in the news recently: as reported by kbtx.com, a young girl was taken skydiving by her father for her sixteenth birthday, something she had always wanted to do. She was taking a static-line jump, where the parachute is supposed to open when the jumper exists the plane. Jumping out of the plane at 3,000 feet, the girl's parachute failed to open properly and she spiraled to the earth. Amazingly, she not only survived, but was expected to leave the intensive care after only a few days and still faced a long recovery for her serious injuries. Although ...

Under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution, a warrantless search is considered unreasonable unless the situation is covered by one of a number of exceptions to the law. One of those exceptions is related to "exigent circumstances"--a situation which, by its nature, requires immediate action. In the case of Robey v. Superior Court, the California Supreme Court discussed an incident in which the police claimed they had exigent circumstances to search a package containing marijuana . . . but the court disagreed. A shipping package . . . and ...

When patients consume medicine, the intention is to relieve medical issues or symptoms --not create them. However, some drugs are found to be defective, causing further issues for those who consume the product. For example, Pradaxa is a commonly used blood thinner; however, it is one of the most complained about medications in the country, according to ABC News. In fact, several complaints were filed with the Food and Drug Administration regarding the drug in the past few years. Since the medication was approved in 2010, Pradaxa has been linked to approximately 1,158 ...

Surgical mesh was first approved by the FDA in the 1950s to repair hernias. In the 1990s, the product was expanded to treat pelvic organ prolapsed and stress urinary incontinence conditions, particularly for women post childbirth.

After an unusually cold winter in Chicago, spring is just around the corner. With the rise in temperature and the melting snow in sight, cyclists are itching to get back out on the road (at least those who did not brave the cold and snow and bike anyway).

To prove medical malpractice, a patient often will need the opinions and reports of medical experts. These experts generally will provide a report which discusses the applicable standards of care in an area and how the health-care providers failed to meet those standards. In addition, the report must establish "causation"--that is, the relationship between the health-care provider's failure and the injury to the patient. Enough key facts, including information related to causation, must be included in the report for it to be valid, or else the health-care provider ...

It comes as little surprise to most people that establishing a workable child custody schedule is difficult. The relationship between the parents, the age of the child, work schedules, and a host of other issues can influence a parent's desires and compromises when establishing a child custody plan that works in the best interests of the child. You wouldn't necessarily think it would take a theoretical physicist to figure it out, though. Yet that is exactly what one scientist did when figuring out a schedule to see all his children at the same time. The physicist, ...

The possession of marijuana with intent to sell is a more serious offense than simple possession and such intent may be shown by direct or circumstantial evidence. In determining if there was intent to sell, factors which may be considered include the packaging of the controlled substance, the quantity found, the presence of cash or drug paraphernalia, and the suspect's activities. If the circumstantial evidence of the intent to sell is not adequate, the charge may not withstand scrutiny, as seen in the North Carolina Court of Appeals case of In re N.J. Possession ...
