The practice of law is a discipline requiring extensive study, continuing education, and (for most practicing attorneys) continued exposure to our court system.   The practice of law is such that specific, individualized,  questions cannot properly be addressed in this type of forum (e.g. e-mail) since the questions are, by their abbreviated nature, without necessary factual knowledge as to each specific situation, and there does not exist the opportunity for the attorney to ask appropriate questions.  

This notwithstanding, there are various general legal concepts and principles which are easily understandable - even to the lay public, e.g.:  The structure of our court systems (federal and state); the classification of, and relationship between, our laws - constitutional, statutory and common law as well as civil vs. criminal and legal vs. equitable; as well as the  jurisdiction of the various courts.  It is for these questions of a general nature ONLY which this page is designed.   Should you wish more specific, individualized, answers to legal questions, please use the appropriate form.
