 Well, I do wish you luck, but from what I gather about you and your

 Tomorrow, I am going, under police/government escort to a little town called
 Grantham.  I use the term town loosely as there is nothing left of it now.
 :(

 It is the spot where over 10 lives were lost and there are still about 8
 missing.  It is currently a crime scene and even the towns folk are only
 allowed limited access.

 From 6am tomorrow (Saturday), until 6pm Sunday night, I will be there, K-7s
 in tow, photographing the scene and its people for a calendar that I am
 designing.

 Don't ask me how but I have endorsement from the AIPP, Pentax Australia and
 Qld Premier Anna Bligh, all of whom will be providing a Foreward and logos
 etc for
 Inclusion in the calendar.  We have an initial print run happening of
 10,000, and the Premier's office itself is paying for the printing!  It is
 going to be distributed to every
 Newsagent in the country and possibly into Myer and Target department stores
 too.

 There was a meeting last night of the Qld Council of the AIPP, where they
 elected to allow me to wear official AIPP attire, reserved usually only for
 officials and judges
 at the National Awards etc.  Apparently, all of those at the meeting were
 chomping at the bit wishing that they were in my shoes.  The Chairperson
 even exclaimed in
 astonishment How the fuck did she manage to get in there?!  To which a
 highly respected photographer, who for some reason has taken me under his
 wing this
 past few months replied, Because she has BALLS, and she is a tenacious
 little thing too!(He told me this story when I went to his studio to
 collect the uniform today).

 Exciting stuff, but to say that I am crapping myself is an understatement,
 this is BIG time.  This could really make or break me!  Wish me luck!

 Oh, and did I mention that I managed to get a rather nice lens on loan from
 CR Kennedy for the expedition too?

I'm a little fuzzy on this, or maybe just clueless.

You're going into a disaster area... to shoot for a calendar?

If the goal is to have an appealing calendar that delights people when they 
look at it, it sounds like you definitely have your work cut out for you.  It 
sounds exciting and challenging, and I'm glad it's not me going!

Good luck, and stay safe.

Ok, so I don't know how I've pulled this off, but in the past four days I
have managed to put together a huge project for the Flood Appeal.  

Tomorrow, I am going, under police/government escort to a little town called
Grantham.  I use the term town loosely as there is nothing left of it now.
:(

It is the spot where over 10 lives were lost and there are still about 8
missing.  It is currently a crime scene and even the towns folk are only
allowed limited access.

From 6am tomorrow (Saturday), until 6pm Sunday night, I will be there, K-7s
in tow, photographing the scene and its people for a calendar that I am
designing.

Don't ask me how but I have endorsement from the AIPP, Pentax Australia and
Qld Premier Anna Bligh, all of whom will be providing a Foreward and logos
etc for
Inclusion in the calendar.  We have an initial print run happening of
10,000, and the Premier's office itself is paying for the printing!  It is
going to be distributed to every
Newsagent in the country and possibly into Myer and Target department stores
too.

There was a meeting last night of the Qld Council of the AIPP, where they
elected to allow me to wear official AIPP attire, reserved usually only for
officials and judges
at the National Awards etc.  Apparently, all of those at the meeting were
chomping at the bit wishing that they were in my shoes.  The Chairperson
even exclaimed in 
astonishment How the fuck did she manage to get in there?!  To which a
highly respected photographer, who for some reason has taken me under his
wing this
past few months replied, Because she has BALLS, and she is a tenacious
little thing too!(He told me this story when I went to his studio to
collect the uniform today).

Exciting stuff, but to say that I am crapping myself is an understatement,
this is BIG time.  This could really make or break me!  Wish me luck!

Oh, and did I mention that I managed to get a rather nice lens on loan from
CR Kennedy for the expedition too?

 And how would they filter out cases without merit?  They'd have to

 It would seem to me that the courts could review the cases being 
 brought and dismiss out of hand those with no legal basis, rather than 
 hauling the person being sued into court to defend themselves against 
 a malicious attack.  But I don't know all the facts or the law in this 
 matter; it may be that a hearing with both sides present is required 
 to sort this matter out.

The courts can do that. But they will have to hear at least some 
arguments to determine what does or does not have legal basis, 
although I think the legalese for the term is merit.


 In any event, if the plaintiff does not have a valid case (s)he should 
 pay the legal costs of the defendant without having to resort to more 
 legal action to force recovery.  If I understand correctly that's the 
 way it works in many countries.  However, US lawyers have constructed 
 the legal system differently here.  I guess you win some and I win 
 some, but the lawyers always win...

 (My father was a lawyer and my daughter is a lawyer; I've had this 
 discussion with them also.)

 Regards, Jim 
The problem with a system where the loser is automatically saddled with 
the winner's legal costs is it tilts the system even farther toward the 
litigant with the deepest pockets.

Consider the poor person wronged by the rich man. The rich man can 
already afford to pay lawyers to obfuscate, delay and run out the clock. 
Now you propose to enable the rich man to to pile on insult to injury by 
bankrupting him for his temerity in seeking redress.

there's no true reason for that. In your case, the father should truly be

Ouch, Paul, I wish I knew how to help.  For what it's worth, I hire and fire
lawyers for a living - any day, give me the scrappy little small outfit to
any best law firm in Michigan. The latter invariably turn out to be better
at getting referrals than in getting results. Also, the court is dealing
with American citizens, give it great credit for protecting it's own - you
may not see it as it happens, but I guarantee that the plaintiffs, your
shit-for-brains ex-son-in-law, has a near insurmountable burden to proof to
meet. 

Kick some ass, Paul

The nightmare had become reality. Late Friday a United States  
Marshall came to our front door with legal papers served for Grace's  
father. He's an unemployed alcoholic, part-time drug dealer who lives  
near Edinburg, Scotland. But like all citizens of the Uk, he's  
entitled to free legal aid. So when my daughter, who was tired of  
being beaten and locked in an apartment, fled Scotland with Grace, he  
sought legal aid. He doesn't really want Grace. He wants to punish my  
daughter for leaving him. But the UK legal aid system is monstrous.  
They were able to retain the best law firm in Michigan to represent  
him. The law firm evidently was able to pull some strings. We weren't  
served papers until Friday night for a Monday court appearance. The  
first lawyer my daughter talked to wanted a 20K US retainer just to  
show up. Luckily, I have some friends in law as well. I eventually  
found a very aggressive young woman lawyer who will represent us  
tomorrow. I still have to come up with a six K retainer, but that's  
better than twenty K. I think the Brits and their social welfare  
state should go directly to hell.

I thought they were supposed to be unbiased and impartial. Are you implying 
that American courts act improperly?

No, courts are supposed to apply the law. And it's a simple fact that 
the Law normally only assigns rights to citizens and legal residents or 
visitors of a country.

In other words, because they are legally in the US, Grace, her mother, 
and Paul have more rights in an American court than a foreigner who is 
currently residing in another country and isn't in the US. The same 
basic idea applies in Canada and the UK (the latter to some extent, as 
it's Common Law, but the EU treaties probably override it to some 
extent). The only rights of a foreigner bringing a foreign suit to US 
courts for enforcement is whatever limited treaty rights that exist 
between the Country in question and the US (or as part of a multi-party 
treaty, usually associated with the UN).

Not to mention that under most states family law (And Canadian Family 
Law, which is nearly indistinguishable from US law on this front), it's 
nearly impossible for a father to get custody of a child (this is why 
you hear regularly about 3rd world immigrant fathers doing a runner back 
home with the kids when they lose custody after a divorce. It's by no 
means the majority, but common enough that you hear about it regularly).
