Yes a city can dictate how its citizens dress if how they dress offends laws of the city. I think that wearing your pants so low that you can see your underwear is indecent exposure, which I believe is against the law. If that attitude was taken when it first started as a fashion statement we may not be talking about this issue now. Just like wearing a dress so short I can see your underwear or cut so low I can see far more breast that I care to.
What, when, where, why and how. It would have been interesting to know how Abbott was marketing off label (for what use).
am question is have spec need child that goes to merrivllve school district he has 28 day that he missed from school some staff have dfr to come home while present do have case.
what about the other side--Mr. Gilmore's side? I understand that he has posted his side of the story, which apparently did not violate the comments policy, yet you removed his comments. Why? I think his comments help to round out the "mental picture" of this case...a case in which Mr. Gilmore has basically been railroaded from the beginning. He deserves to be heard.
Not just law professors and judges have long commutes to work. There are a number of practicing attorneys as well. I live and work in Florida for a Denver, CO, law firm. For the last four years, I have telecommuted every day, but at least once a month I commute to Denver or another western city for hearings, meetings, etc. Your article is correct that modern technology makes this manner of practicing law possible.
