How Do I Become a Lawyer? - Video Lawyers, or attorneys as they are sometimes called, are the backbone of the legal system.

How do I make a complaint to an employment tribunal and do I need to use a lawyer? In most situations you should see if it is possible to resolve the problem with your employer first, before you complain to an employment tribunal. You should use your employer’s grievance procedure to make a formal complaint. You may want to take legal advice on your rights and what remedies or compensation you may be entitled to. Your lawyer can help you approach your employer and negotiate an agreement, or if necessary prepare for a tribunal. If you cannot reach agreement with your employer, you will need to contact the Acas Early Conciliation Service. This is a free service that tries to help you...

People from all walks of life, who simply had a little too much to drink one evening, routinely get...

What You Need To Say To The Police In Order To Get A Lawyer? If you are being questioned by the police and want a lawyer, you need to make a clear statement indicating you want a lawyer before your right to counsel is triggered. Criminal defense lawyers are dismayed at the dismantling of constitutional rights in recent years. We were reminded of our frequent heartache in the recent case of State v. Hammett Marette, where the court held that a defendant had not properly invoked her right to counsel (i.e. her right to not be interrogated without a lawyer present). Specifically, the Court held that a suspect who was being questioned did not unambiguously invoke her right to counsel when she...
