In 1997, as President Bill Clinton’s administration was pursuing an initiative on voluntary national testing, a White House education aide suggested the possibility of a high school test to follow proposed 4th and 8th grade tests. Elena Kagan, who was deputy director of the White House Domestic Policy Council at the time, reviewed the memo from the aide, Michael Cohen, which was intended for the president’s eyes.

It is generally accepted that a defendant in an action for damages cannot exercise the right of “set-off” on the basis of a mere “claim”, which has not crystallised. For example, while the law permits a defendant to set off debts owed to him by the plaintiff against a successful claim in court, he cannot normally resist the plaintiff’s case on the basis that litigation is pending in other courts, resulting potentially in a decree worth more than the sum due to the plaintiff. The rationale for this rule is that a plaintiff who has successfully pursued an action against a defendant cannot have his claim frustrated on the mere possibility of a decree against him in the future

The Ronnie Lee Gardner saga appears to have reached its final days. But an interesting thing has happened in the Gardner case in recent days: jurors who sentenced Gardner to death back in ’85 have come forward to say 1) that they wouldn’t have done so had they heard evidence of Gardner’s troubled childhood and 2) they would have sentenced him to life in prison without parole rather than to death had that been an option back then. Gardner was convicted of shooting and killing attorney Michael Burdell during a courthouse escape attempt back in 1985, since which time he’s resided on death row.

Lansing, MI I filed bankruptcy two years ago, and stated I wanted to reaffirm the debt on my mortgage. I found out today that my mortgage was discharged in my bankruptcy, that the reaffirmation letter was never sent out by the creditor, and that I’ve been paying on a mortgage for the last two years that does nothing to help my credit score and that was never reaffirmed stating that I was responsible for the payments. Since the my credit report shows that the mortgage was discharged, what happens if I walk away from the house?
