Attorney's fee

I consider myself to be a poor public speaker based on my past public speaking experiences. From freezing up when reciting a poem in front of a huge crowd during an assembly to messing up on the Pledge of Allegiance during the Memorial Day ceremony, I have a lot to learn. 
 One thing that I need to keep in mind is to be concerned with information honesty. There were numerous times when I didn 't tell my audience the truth or even dragged on a speech because I didn 't research the topic…

lawyer’s client has no assets then a conditional fee agreement merely gives legal form to what is a practical reality – the lawyer only gets paid if the client wins. Yet it is accepted as laudable for lawyers to act in such circumstances. There is nothing improper in the lawyer agreeing to act for the client for his normal fee whilst having it in his mind, for reasons of friendship or wishing to foster future work from that client, not to exact his fee if the client should lose. It seems odd…

I performed a speech about why teenage relationships are beneficial on November 1st, 2016 in front of my speech class. Public speaking is something that I had been practicing since I was in the sixth grade, however it is apparent that I continue to struggle with nerves.

There are many things I noticed while reviewing my speech, critiquing…

Public Speaking in Action I have decided to write about my First Sergeant who will remain nameless. Since arriving at Al Udeid AB, I have had a lot of interaction with my Shirt. From one on one discussion to being a member in the audience that he is briefing, the interaction level has varied. In my opinion, he is a great public speaker and I do not have any major criticism thus far. However, nobody is perfect so I will be talking about his key strengths and weaknesses that I have noticed over…

Recently, I have run into an overwhelming amount of anxiety in my sophomore classroom related to public speaking. For the past few years, I have only taught public speaking skills in a senior-level speech course and a college-level speech course, and in both of those courses, students have either elected to participate or paid to be present. While I still have encountered students with anxiety, I have quickly forgotten how truly terrifying public speaking is to the general population -…

by an attorney to conduct informational seminars for the general public on wills and trusts without the attorney being present? Is it the unauthorized practice of law for a paralegal employed by an attorney to meet with clients privately at the attorney’s office to answer general questions about wills and trust, along with gathering the basic information from the clients?

As Tenants correctly note, a prevailing party is entitled to recover costs in any action. (Code Civ. Proc. § 1032, subd. (b).) Where provided by a fee-shifting contractual provision, attorney’s fees qualify as “costs” for that purpose. (Code Civ. Proc. § 1033.5, subd. (a)(10)(A); Civ. Code § 1717, subd. (a).) However, Code of Civil Procedure section 1033 (“Section 1033”), subdivision (b)(1), provides the trial court discretion to deny or limit a prevailing party’s costs where “the party could…
