Hi

Civil law (or civilian law) is a legal system inspired by Roman law, the primary feature of which is that laws are written into a collection, codified, and not (as in common law) determined by judges.[1] Conceptually, it is the group of legal ideas and systems ultimately derived from the Code of Justinian, but heavily overlaid by Germanic, ecclesiastical, feudal, and local practices,[2] as well as doctrinal strains such as natural law, codification, and legislative positivism. Materially, civil law proceeds from abstractions, formulates general principles, and distinguishes substantive rules from procedural rules.[3] It holds legislation as the primary source of law, and the court system is usually inquisitorial, unbound by precedent, and composed of specially trained judicial officers with a limited ability to interpret law.

The principle of civil law is to provide all citizens with an accessible and written collection of the laws which apply to them and which judges must follow. It is the most prevalent and oldest surviving legal system in the world[citation needed]. Colonial expansion spread the civil law system and European civil law has been adopted in much of Latin America as well as in parts of Asia and Africa.[4] The primary source of law is the legal code, which is a compendium of statutes, arranged by subject matter in some pre-specified order[5]; a code may also be described as "a systematic collection of interrelated articles written in a terse, staccato style." [6] Law codes are usually created by a legislature's enactment of a new statute that embodies all the old statutes relating to the subject and including changes necessitated by court decisions. In some cases, the change results in a new statutory concept. The two other major legal systems in the world are common law and Islamic law.

Public... OTTAWA—The Conservatives are whittling down their legal options to go after rogue boats filled with migrants trying to get to Canada.

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is expected to take a list of choices before cabinet next week.

The government has been floating the idea of new laws since the August arrival of a boat packed with Sri Lankan migrants.

The commitment to moving forward comes as the Tories attempt to regain control of the national agenda before heading into what could be a combative fall session.

Almost an announcement a day is expected in the two weeks before MPs return to Parliament, and both cabinet members and the rank-and-file are on national and international tours hoping to draw some positive attention to the caucus.

Toews himself is expected to make an announcement on Tuesday about a new partnership to combat human smuggling.

But any new initiatives are unlikely to come fast enough to stop boats already believed to be on their way to Canada.

There are also existing laws which heavily penalize people involved in human smuggling and trafficking, including fines and jail terms, so it’s unclear how the Tories could proceed further.

Enforcing those laws has proved to be a major challenge.

The RCMP is still investigating the arrival of a ship in 2009 that was carrying 76 Tamil migrants from Sri Lanka.

The ship that arrived last month was carrying close to 500 Tamils.

It’s believed that the passengers paid thousands of dollars for passage to Canada and there has been speculation that some on board are members of the Tamil Tigers, outlawed as a terrorist organization.

A spokesperson for Toews wouldn’t discuss which legislative options are being considered.

“Our government will not sit back while Canada becomes a target for increasingly sophisticated criminal operations that are trying to take advantage of Canada’s generosity,” declared Christopher McCluskey in an email.

“We will toughen our laws to ensure that we are able to maintain our borders and defeat human smuggling.”

The NDP’s public safety critic said the government’s focus on the issue is misguided without proof there has been human smuggling.

“If you really believe in being serious about Canada’s obligations to take in refugees, this is what it looks like,” said Don Davies.

“Don’t run around making allegations of human smuggling and terrorists before there is any evidence of that.”

Davies said what is being framed as a public safety issue is really a discussion about immigration policy and how Canada reaches out to refugees.

“If we don’t want that system where people just try to make their way to Canada out of desperation, then maybe we should be stepping up our efforts in refugee camps,” he said.

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney is currently on a tour of India, China and the Philippines to encourage greater co-operation on immigration issues. ]]> New Laws ThailandLawyer http://www.isitlegalto.com/new-laws/12464-tories-float-new-laws-keep-migrant-boats-landing-canada.html http://www.isitlegalto.com/indiana-law/12463-urgent-school-news.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:04:40 GMT is it illegal to have students of a school perform janitorial tasks without pay during school hours to make it easier on the other janitors because... is it illegal to have students of a school perform janitorial tasks without pay during school hours to make it easier on the other janitors because they fired majority of janitors and this is the schools way of putting students into phyical labor to save money by enforcing us into secret work force? ]]> Indiana Law BrandonEvans http://www.isitlegalto.com/indiana-law/12463-urgent-school-news.html http://www.isitlegalto.com/legal-news-informative-articles/12462-appeals-court-panel-denies-stay-wash-inmate-ap.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:40:31 GMT AP - A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has denied a Washington state death row inmate's request for an emergency stay of his execution.

They wound up messaging the local sheriff, and he messaged right back.

"They were one number off," Louis and Clark County, Montana, Sheriff Leo Dutton told CNN. "Luck of the draw."
