For all the medical malpractice that is out there and all the different ways a health care provider can screw up, I still see many of the same things over and over.  In light of how common some of these occurrences are, you would think the doctors and hospitals would do a better job of stopping them.  On the other hand, since many of them are rooted in the foibles of human nature, they are going to be exceptionally resistant to change.

As we know, American attorneys regularly represent clients in mediation.  There’s a ton of theory about mediation generally but much less about mediation representation.
I just posted an article, Theory and Practice of Mediation Representation, which presents a theoretical analysis based on Real Practice System Theory.  The following graphic provides an overview, which the article elaborates.

Most writing and instruction about mediation focuses on mediators’ actions during mediation sessions, depicted in the green cell in the table.  In practice, the mediation process often involves all the cells in the table.

Are you thinking about an estate plan but not certain what might be included in an estate plan? Most people understand that wills and trusts can be used to transfer a person’s property after the person passes away. But an estate plan considers an individual’s or couple’s specific needs and develops a customized plan with will(s), a trust(s), powers of attorney, and other documents that work together to achieve the individual’s or couple’s goals. Although it primarily involves the distribution of property to beneficiaries and naming guardians for minor children, estate planning is related to financial planning and tax planning.

The statute of limitations sets the time frame within which legal action can be filed. Each state has its own statute of limitations for defamation, which can range between one and three years. It’s important to note, though, that the statute of limitations begins once the defamatory content is published – not once you discover it. With this in mind, it’s crucial that defamed victims initiate legal action as soon as possible!
If you wish to discuss your case with an internet defamation lawyer, contact us at RM Warner Law. Our seasoned attorneys are well-equipped to handle your case,…

One of the things that civilized societies seek to guarantee their residents is the right to live in peace. This means that certain disruptive behaviors that interfere with the right of others to live peaceably are prohibited by law.

Arizona is no exception to this rule and has its own disorderly conduct law that allows police to arrest people who violate it. If you have been charged with disorderly conduct in Arizona, the difference between being charged with a misdemeanor or a felony or having the charge against you dismissed can come down to the quality of your legal representation.

When you think about the consequences of driving under the influence in Arizona, your immediate concerns might include jail time, fines, probation, community service requirements, or license suspensions.

However, there are longer-term consequences to consider. For example, you may have trouble finding employment, getting a loan, or buying a firearm. 

But what if we told you that a DUI conviction could affect you outside of the U.S.? It can: If you plan to travel overseas, a DUI from Arizona or any other state might limit or even prevent you from visiting certain countries.

This is why it is a good…

Management is about execution. More specifically, management is about executing the visions of your company’s leadership. Managers work in the present while leaders work in the future. The point is that managers of people need to focus on how to get the people they manage to execute now. Like many roles, there are any number of ways to manage people.

Some people micromanage their teams because they have the need to control what their subordinates or employees do or don’t trust their team members to execute on their own. There can be good reasons or at least what feel like…

Imagine you are suddenly hospitalized and waiting to undergo an emergency surgery that you may not survive. You then realize you never prepared a will and are left scrambling to put something together. You grab a pen and start writing your will on a napkin next to your hospital bed, “Should I not survive this surgery, I leave everything to . . .”
It’s a scary thought, but it has been known to happen. If you or a loved one are ever faced with this dilemma, it is important to understand how Arizona determines whether a will is “conditional”. The…

Arizona has had a seat belt law in effect for over 30 years. The law requires all front seat occupants to wear seatbelts and applies to all passengers of cars with lap belts or belts combined with shoulder belts.

The reason for this is simple: Wearing a seat belt and shoulder belt significantly increases your chances of surviving without being critically injured in car accidents.

The Arizona traffic accident lawyers at Stone Rose Law have years of experience representing clients in auto accident cases involving seat belt usage. If you have been involved in a car crash and have been…
