Your Path To A Law Career

Only physicians and college professors require more education than lawyers. So, if you want to be a lawyer, you’ll need to invest four years in college and three more years afterwards.

The path begins in high school. Students aspiring to the profession of law should work especially diligently in English classes to develop skills in communication, analysis, and the formulation of arguments; the core skills every lawyer needs. Those who aspire to be trial lawyers might want to consider becoming involved in theatre or debate, both of which offer opportunities for significant skills development.

The next step on the road to becoming a lawyer is college. Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary to major in pre-law or political science, but good grades are important, as top law schools are highly selective.

Once you graduate from college, you must take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). It measures logical thinking skills, analytical reasoning, reading comprehension, and writing ability. Because LSAT scores play an important role in law school admission, many law school applicants take preparatory classes before taking the test.

It’s best to choose at least four to six law schools to apply to. A minimum of two should be institutions to which your grades and LSAT scores would seem to ensure your admission.

While in law school, most students spend some time working in the field to help them develop professional contacts and decide which specialty area(s) are of the greatest interest to them.

Once you finish law school, you’ll need to prepare for and pass the state Bar exam. The Bar will test your knowledge of state and federal law. Once you If you pass it, you’ll be licensed to practice law in your state (and perhaps in some others).

There’s no quick and easy way to become a lawyer. But, there are good reasons why so many people complete the rigorous path to a career in law. In addition to relatively high earnings, lawyers enjoy the opportunity to practice in many specialties (criminal, civil, international, and copyright law, for example), to work in business, or to serve in govenment and political posts.

Law Of Attraction – Winning Lottery Or Any Goal

A few days ago I received an interesting email — which can be applied to ANY goal even though the person was referring to the lottery. Here’s the message:

Subject: Problem with law of attraction and Lotteries
Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2008 19:47:32 -0300

I have read your interesting article “Millionaire mind: Win the Lottery – Luck or law of attraction?”

But sorry, I have found a problem with Law Of Attraction and Lotteries.

Imagine two guys: Paul and James who love to play in lotteries. Imagine there is an equipment called “Belief-meter” that shows the belief intensity in a scale 0~100. When applied to Paul and James the Belief-meter shows 100 to both guys. So, they have total, complete and absolute belief they will win in lottery.

Now these two guys will play in a lottery 5/50. But Paul chose the numbers 1-2-3-4-5 and James chose 46-47-48-49-50. Of course, the law of attraction will FAIL for one of these guys, since they chose different numbers, although they have total, complete and absolute belief they win in lottery.

How can you explain this situation?
Thanks.

= = = = = = = = = =.

The answer you will be reading here applies to ANY goal — not only to winning the lottery. So, you’d better read carefully and absorb what you are reading.

The truth is that the law of attraction will NOT fail, but the Law of Attraction may make BOTH guys fail — NOT just only one of them!!!

Let’s start by saying that playing the Lottery is just another investment — just like investing in the stock market, real estate, commodities. The Universe doesn’t make any difference. The difference is only in your own mind. And lots MORE people lose EVERYTHING in the stock market, real estate and commodities than in the lottery. (Refer to our free Course on the lottery)

Too many gurus and experts out there keep saying that the Law of Attraction works for everything. But, they will give you all sorts of reasons why it doesn’t apply to the lottery.

Why not? If the Law of Attraction does not work for the lottery, then we have an exception. And then we may ask “How many more exceptions are there?”.

The REAL name of the “commercial” Law of Attraction is the LAW of BELIEF. The Law of Belief is the Law of Life.

And there are NO exceptions to this Law.

The Law is unbiased, impersonal, unforgiving with anyone who does not follow it. If you do not follow the Law you are doomed.

I want to remind you of the motion picture “Les Miserables”. For me, the best version is the one played by Richard Jordan (in the role of Jean Valiean) and Anthony Perkins (as Inspector Javert).

For Inspector Javert, there is no compassion, no mercy. ONLY the LAW!

The Universe operates in a similar way. If you do not obey the LAW, you are doomed — There is ONLY THE LAW!

So, you’d better learn about the LAW now!

The BEST way to deal with the Law of Belief (also known as the Law of Attraction) is to understand once and for all that those famous vibrations the gurus and experts are talking about are CAUSED by the BELIEFS and VALUES you hold at the Subconscious level.

Take care of those beliefs and values, and you will automatically generate the CORRECT ‘high’ vibrations that are exactly what you need to attract the results you desire.

WHY is it that they don’t teach you that? Either they are ignorant of the real LAW and how it works . . . or business is REAL GREAT for them!

There is absolutely NO NEED for you to become OBSESSED with your vibrations as these gurus and experts command you to do — while they keep SELLING more and more Law of Attraction books, DVDs, and paraphernalia. Great for THEIR business, BAD for YOU! (Refer to many of my previous articles about how the Law of Belief operates)

The super rich and super successful people do not go around OBSESSING about the BAD vibrations. They simply get busy ZAPPING from their minds the limiting, conflicting beliefs and values, and replacing them with beliefs/values that are supportive of their goals. They know that by doing that, the ‘vibrations’ will take care of themselves automatically without them becoming OBSESSED — which is the opposite of what most of the gurus and experts tell you to do!

After this enthusiastic but ACCURATE introduction, let’s answer the question in the email above.

It is 100% possible that both Paul and James believe 100% that each will win.

In fact, the human Belief-O-Meter may confirm that each one believes 100%. (Refer to one of my previous articles on how to make your own Belief-O-Meter).

But . . . and here is the BIG catch . . . the human Belief-O-Meter ONLY measures the magnitude of the belief about winning the lottery (25%, 50%, 77%, 93%, 100%).

The human Belief-O-Meter does NOT indicate that there might just be some HIDDEN and CONFLICTING BELIEF and/or VALUE that will make totally USELESS the 100% belief in winning the lottery.

I will give you a few examples.

Example 1:

What if Paul believes 100% he will win the jackpot but, hidden deep in his Subconscious, he has the religious belief that “Rich people never go to heaven”? And he wants to go to heaven. This hidden belief will neutralize the 100% belief in winning the lottery. Paul may not know of this hidden conflict. But the Subconscious does and it will make certain Paul will not win!

Example2:

Or maybe Paul believes that “Rich people are dishonest” and one of Paul’s highest VALUES is “honesty”. If he wins and becomes rich, he will become dishonest. And he will AVOID that at all cost because his subconscious mind will not allow him to go against his deep held VALUE of ‘honesty’. Therefore, his 100% belief in winning the lottery is in CONFLICT with a deep VALUE. He will NOT win! (or if he wins, he will very quickly lose all the money).

Example 3:

What if Paul has this VALUE that “It is better to give than to receive”? People with those USELESS values never receive anything, except problems. In Paul’s case, his Subconscious will NOT allow him to win because it would be in CONFLICT with Paul’s VALUE that receiving is NOT a good as giving. Does this remind you of those persons you may know who are always giving and helping others but who hardly receive anything in return? (Remember, the Universe doesn’t give a hoot because you did not obey the LAW of Belief which requires that you eliminate all conflicting values!).

Example 4:

What if James had this BELIEF that “We cannot afford it” because he heard his parents saying it over an over again while growing up? That belief is still in his Subconscious. It was never eliminated and replaced by “Yes, I can afford anything I want”. Now, if James were to win the jackpot in the lottery he will be able to afford anything! And that is something the Subconscious cannot allow because it is in conflict with James’s current belief “I cannot afford it”.
And as long as James keeps holding that limiting belief, he is doomed to failure.

Example 5

What if a long time ago, when James was a 4-5 year old kid, his mother got very upset with him and even punished him for placing a coin in his mouth while she yelled at him “Money is dirty!”?

Now, many years later, subconsciously, he will avoid money because ‘money is dirty” and he doesn’t want to be/get dirty! Again, a very limiting and forgotten experience created a belief that is in conflict with having money. James forgot all about that incident and what his mother said. But his Subconscious did NOT and will not allow him to win money because that would make him dirty. Actually,James will have all kinds of problems making ANY money because of that hidden belief.

Example 6:

What if Paul believes 100% he will win the jackpot but, hidden deep in his Subconscious, he has the belief that “It is real hard for me to make money”? This hidden belief will neutralize the 100% belief in winning the lottery. Why? Because to win the lottery the only EXTERNAL ACTION need is to BUY a lottery ticket. And that is TOO EASY! Paul may not know of this hidden conflict. But his Subconscious mind does and will make certain Paul will not win because it will be TOO EASY!

And this conflict will be increased even MORE if Paul happens to also believe that “making money through HARD work and by overcoming tremendous difficulties has LOTS of merit and easy money has NONE!”

(We all have heard the GREAT VALUE of working real hard, being defeated many times, UNTIL finally one wins against all odds! — propagated throughout history over and over again until TOTALLY hypnotizing the human race with the terribly LIMITING, USELESS and FALSE belief that ‘making money and achieving goals has only MERIT if done the HARD way and it is the ONLY way one can do it!”.)

= = = = = =

I believe you can easily come up with more examples of your own.

= = = = = =

The point I want you to understand is that MOST gurus and experts only talk about regular beliefs. And they SELDOM, if ever, teach you that you MUST start by FIRST identifying/eliminating limiting. conflicting BELIEFS and VALUES, and then, replace them with useful, supportive ones. We do teach you that and place GREAT emphasis on the fact that doing it is absolutely CRUCIAL to your success.

And ONLY Anthony Robbins and our Courses talk about the CRITICAL importance of VALUES and how to get rid of any conflicting values and replace them with the ones that will help you achieve your goals — and NOT block them.

Read carefully because the following not only applies to the lottery but to ANY goal, in ANY area of ,your life:

A — You can have a deep belief and certainty in getting your goal, but IF you have another hidden limiting BELIEF that is in CONFLICT with that goal, that ONE limiting belief will neutralize your 100% belief in achieving your goal and BLOCK your way — until that limiting belief is identified, eliminated and replaced by a useful, supportive belief.

B — You can have a deep belief and certainty in getting your goal, but IF you have another hidden limiting VALUE that is in CONFLICT with that goal, that ONE limiting value will neutralize your 100% belief in achieving your goal and BLOCK your way — until that limiting value is identified, eliminated and replaced by a useful, supportive value.

That’s is one of the most common reasons why — NOT only in the Lottery — MOST people do NOT get what they want. They work on believing 100% that they will get what they want, They can get 100% in the human Belief-O-Meter,
BUT . . . they IGNORE or WERE NEVER TAUGHT that they must also work on a different type of belies: VALUES.

*** Note: Value can be dealt with as an emotional ‘state’ (as in NLP) or as a different type of belief (the belief that something as little or a lot of ‘desirability’). Or as BOTH a belief and an emotional ‘state’.

One more time . . . . . .

The human Belief-O-Meter will ONLY indicate how much (50%,10%, 75%, 85%, 100%) you believe that you will win the lottery (or achieve ANY goal, in ANY area). . It does not say to you (and your Subconscious will not tell you either on its own initiative):

“John, Robert, Mary, etc., YOU have this conflicting VALUE that “money is evi”l, or that “rich people do not go to heaven”, or that “rich people are dishonest”, that “there are other things more important than money”. Therefore, as long as you continue holding any one of these conflicting VALUES, you cannot win”. OR . . .

“John, Robert, Mary, etc., YOU have this conflicting, limiting BELIEF that “Money is dirty”, “You cannot afford it”, or that “It is very hard for you to make money”. Therefore, as long as you continue holding any or all of these limiting beliefs you cannot win”.

In this case, it is NOT the belief in winning the lottery that is the problem. The problem is that one BELIEF (about winning) is in total CONFLICT with a hidden VALUE and/or another hidden BELIEF,

That is WHY we teach that you must not only identify/eliminate limiting, useless beliefs and replace them with beliefs that are NOT in conflict with your goals. You must ALSO identify/ eliminate the hidden CONFLICTING values and replace then with VALUES that are in perfect harmony with your other beliefs and goals.

There are many people who are absolutely certain they will achieve a certain goal. And, SOMEHOW, they always come up short.

The answer: their absolute belief and certainty have found ANOTHER hidden, conflicting belief and/or value which totally neutralize(s) their belief in total victory!

So, the question for you is:

A — Do you know what your BELIEFS are regarding your goal (be it winning the lottery or ANY other goal)? Do you know which BELIEFS are in CONFLICT with the goal(s) you want to achieve? If you do not know what your beliefs are and what conflict they can produce in your life, you will have lots of difficulty getting what you want.

B — Do you know what your VALUES are? Do you know in what order (sequence) they are? Do you know which VALUES are in CONFLICT with the goal(s) you want to achieve? If you do not know what your values are and what conflict they can produce in your life, you will have lots of difficulty getting what you want.

Now, you know what MOST gurus and experts do NOT know or, for some MYSTERIOUS reasons, FAIL to teach you about.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS KNOWLEDGE and straighten out your beliefs and values. Once you achieve that, your vibrations will automatically take care of themselves.

Sincerely,

.

Mandatory Sexual Harassment Training Laws In California, Connecticut, And Maine

Though all states have laws prohibiting sexual harassment on the job, California, Connecticut, and Maine take the step from reactive to proactive by mandating sexual harassment training for supervisors to prevent sexual harassment before it begins. While the three states training measures are similar, there are also significant differences in the specifics. Californias mandatory sexual harassment law (AB 1825) provides detailed requirements for harassment training requirements far more stringent than those of Connecticut and Maine. AB 1825 calls us to a new level of accountability that will undoubtedly influence sexual harassment laws across the nation, said Stephen Paskoff, president of Employment Learning Innovations, Inc., a workplace training firm based in Atlanta. It puts education on the front burner and acknowledges it as any companys best defense against sexual harassment claims.

While each of the states laws designates which companies must provide harassment training, Maine requires the training at companies of only 15 employees or more. Both California and Connecticut specify that companies employing 50 or more employees conduct the training. In this instance, Maines law is more stringent than the other two states. Maine is also more stringent is designating which employees must complete the training. Both California and Connecticut require training for employees with supervisory authority only, while Maines law requires sexual harassment training for all employees, regardless of their positions.

In many areas, however, Maines mandatory harassment training is more lenient. For instance, Maine does not specify the qualifications of a trainer; individual companies are at liberty to choose trainers. In contrast, California and Connecticut require qualified trainers. Connecticut allows a great deal of latitude by designating trainers as individuals employed by the company or other persons who agree to provide the training. California law, however, includes stringent details describing trainer qualifications. Qualified personnel include the following only:
Attorney
Human Resources professional
Harassment prevention consultant
Law school or college professor with knowledge and experience in the prevention and/or handling of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation claims

Paskoff said that by raising the bar on trainer qualifications, California sends a clear message to employers: check the box training is no longer acceptable. A paragraph in an employee handbook, a reminder in a newsletter, an obligatory lecture at a department meeting none of these constitute sexual harassment training. Instead, employers must invest their resources in highly trained professionals with both the knowledge and skills to effectively train and assess participants.

In addition to trainer qualifications, Maine is also more lenient in the areas of documentation. Maine requires no documentation of sexual harassment training, while Connecticut simply encourages documentation. In contrast, California requires it. Again California holds its employers and supervisors to a new level of accountability. In addition to basic documentation that includes the names of the participants and trainers, AB 1825 requires an employer to give each supervisor a copy of its anti-harassment policy and to obtain documentation from each supervisor acknowledging receipt of the policy. The company must then maintain the documentation for two years.

One distinguishing element among the three states harassment training laws is Californias requirements regarding teaching methodology. These requirements set a uniquely high standard. The methodology must include the following elements:
Questions that assess learning
Skill-building exercises
Discussion questions that actively engage participants in the learning process
Questions that assess learning success
Hypothetical situations and scenarios that are true-to-life
Memorable strategies for reporting and preventing sexual harassment
Opportunities for participants to ask questions and receive prompt answers

While both California and Connecticut state that the mandated training must be interactive, Californias training law goes to great lengths to describe exactly what constitutes an interactive approach. AB 1825 forces employers to do more than just pass on information to employees and hope they remember it. Instead, Californias training participants have every opportunity to understand the concepts and absorb them into their own professional values. In addition, companies bear the responsibility of choosing materials that fulfill the methodology criteria and using trainers who can effectively administer it.

As for course content, the three laws have the following content in common:
Definition of sexual harassment
State and federal statutory provisions concerning sexual harassment
Types of conduct which constitute sexual harassment
Employers obligation to investigate
Remedies available to victims

AB 1825, however, also mandates the following course content:
Limited confidentiality of the complaint process
What to do if a supervisor is personally accused of harassment
How to use the essentials of an anti-harassment policy if a complaint is filed
Fully detailed anti-harassment policy provided by each employer
Supervisors acknowledgment of receipt of the policy

The additional requirements in the California law focus directly on supervisors. Once supervisors complete the training and acknowledge receipt of an anti-harassment policy, they are fully accountable for knowing and applying the policies correctly. If a sexual harassment complaint arises, they can neither plead ignorance of the law nor accuse the employer of failure to provide policy. These measures empower employees who file sexual harassment lawsuits, thus laying the groundwork for successful prosecution of offenders.

The sexual harassment training measures are positive tools, but their real effectiveness lies in their reinforcement efforts. Paskoff said, Whereas Connecticut and Maine only require supervisors to undergo sexual harassment training once, Californias AB 1825 recognizes that the most effective learning comes from education that is continuously repeated and enforced until it is fully integrated into the day-to-day work life. To that end, Californias sexual harassment training requires supervisors to repeat the training every two years.

What Is Family law

The most common practices areas are divorce, child support, child custody, visitation, paternity and adoption. Family law attorneys can handle other issues such as pre-nuptial agreements, post-nuptial agreements, mediation, annulments, spousal support, abandonment, and orders of protection.

In the 1970’s family laws definition changed rapidly. The areas that came across the most change was divorce, child support and child custody. In 1987, no-fault divorces have been adopted and this made dealing with divorce much easier to handle. Child custody had originally been given to the mothers, but as the roles of fathers developed, laws changed to allow father custody and then eventually joint custody. Family law today is increasingly become about the needs, rights and welfare of children. The family law act 1975 outlines the objects and underlying principles to ensure that the children’s best interests are met. These objects are to protect children from physical or psychological harm, and from being subjected or exposed to neglect, abuse or family violence.
