But most of the psychologists concentrate on some key components, irrespective of the format of the psychological assessment.

Interview: Most of the psychologists prefer observing their clients during a personal interview.

Texas DWI The Effect of Field Sobriety Tests On Your Case

This article will detail how field sobriety tests may affect your case and whether you should refuse the tests entirely. Most people who are stopped for suspicion of DWI will be asked to exit their vehicle and perform a series of field sobriety tests. Under Texas law you are under no obligation to perform these tests, and by refusing you are neither implying nor indicating that you are guilty of driving while impaired.

By refusing all tests, both field sobriety and breathalyzer tests you may actually be giving yourself a better chance later on as there will be little real evidence against you other than the officer’s observations which are very subjective at best. The goal of field sobriety tests is to prove your mental or physical abilities were extremely compromised by the alcohol in your system and the police officer will almost never tell you that the tests are voluntary.

The problem with field sobriety tests is that they are so difficult that even a stone cold sober person might be unable to complete them to the satisfaction of the police officer. In fact, even the National Highway …

Are Civil Bench Warrants Worth Getting?

I am not an attorney, I am a judgment referral expert (Judgment Broker). This article is my opinion, based on my experience in California, and laws vary in every state. Nothing in any of my articles can ever be considered legal advice. Whenever you require legal advice or a strategy to use, you should contact a lawyer.

One of the age-old tools in judgment enforcement are debtor (and 3rd parties that know or possess about the debtor’s assets) exams at the court. A related tool is document production requests. What happens when a properly-served debtor fails to show up at the court hearing?

If you request and pay the court, they will request or issue a bench warrant (actually named a Warrant Of Body Attachment). You must pay the court or sheriff, to get a warrant issued and made active.

What happens afterward depends on what state and county your judgment debtor resides at. In some places in the US, the judgment debtor gets picked up and becomes a mandatory guest at a sheriff or court office, sometimes overnight guests, and informed they better show up at the next hearing, and if they do …

Negligence in Employment in Canada

Negligence in employment covers several actions in tort law, mainly when an employer is responsible for the accident (or other tortuous act) caused by the employee. The employer in this case is negligent in providing the employee with the ability to create this situation. A person who is claiming negligence must prove that the defendant owed them a duty of care, that this duty was breached and that the claimant was injured as a result of the duty breach. This duty exists only if the injury is labeled as “reasonably foreseeable” (can cause the harm of the type which occurred at the current accident). The claimant must also be the person for whom the harm would be a “reasonably foreseeable consequence”. Generally the law divides Negligence in employment in four scenarios: negligent hiring, negligent retention, negligent supervision and negligent training.

Negligent Hiring

Negligent hiring is a situation when the employer hires the employee ignoring some of his work records that pointed to the fact that the accident can occur. This is one of the cornerstones of negligence in employment, because at this point everything depends on the actions of the employer and his professional skills …

Knowing Your Rights As A Worker

When an employer hires you to do a job, they give you an opportunity to provide for yourself, and create a successful career. While your employer probably gives you a lot, you have certain rights as an employee that cannot be trampled on. In many cases, an employee does not want to get into any altercations with an employer, since it could fundamentally change their relationship. However, sometimes the issue cannot be avoided. As a worker, it’s up to you to know your rights.

Workplace Injury

If you are injured while on the job, you have the right to be compensated. In most cases, you can file a claim with workers compensation through your employer. Your employer has to pay into workers compensation in case anyone is hurt. You can get money for lost wages, medical bills and rehabilitation costs while you are not working due to injury. Sometimes, you may need to work with workplace lawyers to make sure that you are treated fairly when a claim is needed.

Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is another area that often comes up in the workplace. As an employee, you have a right to be treated …

Bulletproof Your IP Strategy through Business Analytics

An excellent and easy to understand example of this strategy is cited by Davenport and Harris in their book, Competing on Analytics.

The cited case study is Netflix. The very nature of Netflix’s business requires them to track customer rental habits and it should come as no surprise that they use that data to drive business decisions. One aspect of their business is distribution rights for DVDs.

A very basic decision in this part of their business is the appropriate volume of DVDs to purchase in order to distribute a given film. If they order too many copies of a film with very little interest among their customer base, the distribution obviously will not be profitable. If they do not order enough, they will not be able to meet the demand, fracturing their sales model, which is to say customers will stop subscribing. Netflix promises their customers they will receive their DVD order in about one business day and there is no contract; cancel at anytime.

Given their business model, it is critical that they use analytics to optimize their distribution decisions. In this example the company bought the rights to Favela Rising, …

When Your Child is Charged With DUI?

You have discussed it with your child. You may have instructed your child to avoid drinking and never drive car after drinking alcohol, but it has happened. Despite all good advises, he has had an error of judgement and he is sitting in a police station – arrested. Driving under the influence (DUI) is a very serious offense in New York.

Drunken driving is big contributor to road-accident deaths.
