If there is one area that confuses people more when it comes to the law, it is the differentiation between common law and statutory law as applied to civil litigation and, really, the legal world as a whole. In this article, we take a stab and explaining the difference in a manner that is actually understandable. The first place to start is with a definition of each.

Statutory law is a collection of hard and fast laws that are created by a legislative body and signed into law by an executive branch. A couple of examples can help explain each. Let’s say I...

Planning senior trips solo seems to have some sort of taboo label on it for most tour companies and cruise lines. Everything comes in pairs or "for two". In an economy where traveling in itself is a luxury, most retirees cannot afford senior trips for the price for two when only one person is traveling. Do not fret! There are in fact trips for seniors that are affordable for only one person! One in every 10 travelers travels alone, which would make a lot of wasted space if all those people took up the space of two! There are certain travel agencies and cruise lines that cater to solo travelers, although some are hard to spot! Trips for seniors tend to be thought out and planned to the very last...

Having worked with individuals, couples, families and business partners for 35 years, helping them learn to resolve conflict, I have often been faced with the difficulties that occur when people are confused about the difference between approval with appreciation. Have you ever wondered about the difference between approval and appreciation? Most of us have never actually thought about it, yet if we do think about it, we realize that we feel very differently when we receive approval as opposed to receiving appreciation. There are good reasons for this. Approval is something we give from a wounded, controlling part of us. Approval is conditional upon the other person performing in the way we want or...

The civil court system is based on the rule of law. The application of that rule of law to individual cases can be done in one of two ways, through a bench trial or through a jury trial. In this article, we take a look at both. You have the right to a trial before your peers. This is a statement we all learn in civics class and hold dear to our heart. It is also absolutely true in a criminal case. Why? Because a criminal case involves the state trying to take away your liberty, i.e., put you in jail. Ah, but what about civil lawsuits where the government is not prosecuting the case? Well, things get a bit murkier. A civil court case can be decided in one of two ways. The first is the classic jury...

I've lived on the east coast of Florida for many years but it wasn't until recently that I spent a few days in the Panhandle. I was so surprised at how different it was from all the other places I had been in Florida, and I have been all over Florida. For one thing the water is a beautiful shade of emerald green and the beaches are white sand where as the water along the east coast are a beautiful clear blue and the beaches are a lovely oatmeal color, quite a contrast. One of the other things I noticed was how the area, especially around Destin, was so beautiful and peaceful. There were tree lined streets, small pastel painted houses, outdoor malls that were cleverly disguised as quaint wood framed...

Controversial piece about the acting skills of Gerard Butler. Look what is it with this gorgeous guy? Like many thousands and millions of drooling dames the world over I have been crazy about Gerard since I first saw him in the spectacular movie version of Phantom of The Opera. He was sublime in this role - sympathetic, yet beastly. Passionately reckless yet vulnerable and boy could he belt out those songs! I thought - hang on! Do we have an honest to goodness manly man loaded with charisma along the lines of a Clark Gable at last??? What a wonderful contrast to the whiny, pasty-faced fey guys we are used to in the acting profession. I eagerly rented Gerard's back catalogue and adored him as...

Situated on the ever diverse and cosmopolitan Long Street, arguably one of the best representations of Cape Town's distinctively creative and laid back joie de vivre, is the well placed Grand Daddy boutique hotel. Even from the exterior, it is clear to the passer by that as its name alludes, is both an example of the caliber of Cape Town's luxury accommodation on offer as well as a quirky and well designed hotel. Walking past the mirrored mosaic fish tank, reminiscent of a disco ball, one can clearly note evidence of the boutique hotels motto,"luxury shouldn't exclude playfulness". This is indeed evident in all of the little light hearted design touches, including work by some young, contemporary...

The election of an African-American President was something few people thought would happen in their lifetimes. The reason? Prejudice against people of color. Alas, there is an open prejudice in the legal system as well. The type of prejudice we are talking about in this article, however, is not an offensive version and is often misunderstood. The legal system, particularly the civil system, is very forgiving in many ways. If a party makes a mistake, the system will often have a built in allowance for them to try again. This can be done through things such as amendments to pleadings and so on. The term prejudice, as noted in the legal system, is a pillar of this process. What does the legal...
