http://www.usnews.com/usnews/nycu/tech/articles/010212/nycu/self.htm

Extractions: By Matthew Benjamin CDs, books proffer self-help legal advice To say Carla Ruff felt intimidated is an understatement. Two years ago Ruff, a single mother, was dragged into court by a former tenant, who happened to be a litigation attorney. He wanted Ruff to return the $1,500 security deposit he paid when renting the ground floor of her San Francisco Victorian; she claimed he owed her the money for bills and damage he caused. He took her to court. Presenting her case before an impatient judge, Ruff says she was nervous, got bogged down in the details, and consequently lost. But she decided to fight back. Armed with do-it-yourself legal books on property rights and court procedure, the 52-year-old publishing consultant boiled down her presentation to a few salient points and won on appeal. She got to keep most of the disputed amount. "I felt powerless, and the books put me in command of the situation," says Ruff. That sense of empowerment is shared by the millions who have turned to self-help legal manuals and online services that aim to put neophytes on an equal footing with those brandishing law degrees and, in the process, save them money. Publishers of self-help legal books and software are reporting brisk sales. More than 132,000 will-writing software kits alone were sold last year. "It's a little like people getting their hands on the Bible in the Middle Ages for the first time from the Catholic priest," says Jake Warner, co-founder of Nolo Press, a major publisher of do-it-yourself legal fare.

Applications Areas of Expertise Statement of Purpose The government and the public these days are intensely interested in the actions of American business. This means that companies and related organizations live or die with the quality of their communications. Yet most executives are far more expert at providing products and services than at writing or editing speeches, articles, or statements. They need professional help, often of a type not readily available within their own organizations. I offer this help, combining editorial experience with substantive expertise in areas of current controversy. The goal is to help executives and their public relations advisors figure out exactly what they want and need to say, and then say it in the most effective way. JAMES V. DeLONG

Extractions: Home Search A-Z People ... Help This guidance concerns references written on behalf of students by members of staff, acting in their capacity as employees of the University. It does not cover references for fellow members of staff (where other considerations apply), or references written in a private capacity (although the legal situation may be similar). It has always been clear that we owe a general duty of care in preparing references for students. However, recent court rulings now make clear that this duty has a specific legal dimension, and that a referee may be liable in damages to the subject of a reference if loss is caused to that person through negligence. Such liability may come about through carelessness on matters of fact or opinion. The following guidance outlines good practice. If followed, it should also protect you and the University from legal action. See Footnote (2) The principal aims of providing a reference are: (a) to confirm facts (eg. to confirm the accuracy of the statements made in an application), and (b) to provide

It looks at how people with dementia can make their own decisions about who will look after their financial and welfare affairs in the future, if they can no longer manage. It also looks at ways to make handling finances simpler. The sections after this one are concerned with people who have moderate to severe dementia, and are for carers or relatives who are helping with financial or welfare matters. Making plans as early as possible is very important. If you have dementia, you have the same right as anyone else to make your own choices. Making some decisions now can also help avoid trouble and expense for your friends and family later. Dementia is progressive, and later on in the illness you may no longer be able to make these arrangements. Put your financial and legal affairs in order as soon as possible.

Remember that each of these paragraph openers is followed by several other sentences in the paragraph. You're not trying to link the sentences listed; rather, you're trying to spot words in each paragraph opener that relate explicitly to what must have come at the end of the preceding paragraph. The automobile made its first appearance on the streets, for all practical purposes, in the first decade of this century. By 1940, the United States had become an automobile society. The numbers have continued to rise, as automobiles choke the roads and highways, and millions of people, living in the land of suburban sprawl, use the automobile as their lifelineconnecting them to work, shopping, and the outside world in general. Thus, a person who parks overtime and gets a "ticket" will get an order to appear in court and face the music.
