Re: Legal advice Interesting links there, Greg, someone was feeling threatened by the publicity. I'm curious how things like the First Amendment will end up relative to online communications in a few years, given the global nature of the web. Sassy
I agree humblemarc. I also graduated from NYU and plan to attend law school there in 2004. Great school.
Re: Legal advice I'm assuming this question was directed to me and again, I assume it's not a question but rather a response. An attorney-in-fact is someone who has power of attorney, usually over someone's financial affairs. However, this does not mean that they can act as an attorney or practice law.What it means is that they have the power to do anything that that individual for whom he/she has power of attorney, could do as an individual. Understand?
Re: Legal advice And to respond to the links posted by Greg, not sure what that proves. There were various issues going on in that lawsuit. Moreover, lawyers are regulated by the STATE. Therefore, what one state classifies as the unauthorized practice of law is not the same as what another state might hold. If you have any REAL questions about legal ethics please feel free to ask me
Re: Legal advice It proves that things aren't as cut and dried as some might think, and somebody is actually going to court about it. Feel free to ignore it. What's the difference between the classifications of your state and mine? That's a real question-- but not about ethics; acting unethically isn't always acting illegally. I prefer to stick to what the law says, because, ultimately, that's what we have to live by. So far, I haven't seen any quotes of any laws or cases. The point is that the Internet is creating precedent, and as uncomfortable as new, unresolved issues before you may be, they exist. If you want to respond with something like "End of story!," "That's the bottom line!," or "Game, set, match!" with no substantiation, feel free. --------------------------- I'll try to convince you. That slide show without the narration is like a music video without the sound. Fair, Isaac confused you (got you "into a major tiz") by intoducing an example of a credit scoring scheme which isn't the one anybody really cares about. The Fair, Isaac representative at the forum at which that slide show was presented said-- about the scorecard presented-- "It is not an actual credit scoring scorecard, so don't go home and try to score yourself on this and get into a major tiz about your score. I'll just use it to illustrate a couple of points here." http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/creditscoring/index.htm http://www.creditscoring.com/pages/forumtranscript.htm#page18 Scorecards (with the same link): "With an expanded score range of 150-950, compared with 300-850 for classic scores, and 18 scorecards, compared to 10 scorecards for the classic scores, lenders benefit from a more refined look at consumers' credit history, enabling them to make more confident and profitable credit decisions." -- Fair, Isaac http://www.fairisaac.com/page.cfm/s...id2=180/id1=50/layout=layout1.cfm/press_id=67 An old research technique. I prefer to get my opinions unfettered by premise. Incorrect: "Yesterday a noted scientist announced he got a message from the Martians that said they will destroy Earth. Should we explore Mars?" Correct: "Should we explore Mars?" My post: 09.02.2002 @ 07:58 Your post: 09.02.2002 @ 19:33 ? I question your mind-reading capability and your knowing what I do or don't know.
