...CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Evelyn Avi’s Law firm was established in March 2009. Since its inception, it has been operating with a manual system that collects client information and then sends lawyers to represent their clients. In the past years, there have been situations of case/data mismatch because documentation is not done properly (it is done manually) and every Lawyer has his special kind of case to handle.

...05/08/2015 Kaplan University Every law firm has a different culture. The culture of a particular law firm is built around not only the various people that work there, but the manner in which their everyday work duties are completed. The Paulding County Public Defender’s office is a diversely cultured office with many of its own unique daily operating procedures. The Paulding County Public defender’s office is comprised of not only attorneys, but they have a paralegal, receptionist, assistant attorneys, and a scheduler. The Paulding County Public Defender’s Office has built a culture of not only diverse employees but a diverse clientele. Anyone with the proper jurisdiction can apply for counsel through the office located in the local courthouse.

...Phase One Discussion Board Two The Legal Environment Nine years ago, I worked for a company for approximately eleven years; it was in the distribution warehouse. I started at the bottom of the totem pole as a temp back in 1995. I worked my way up the corporate ladder to first shift supervisor. The company was going through many changes that resulted in my direct boss resigning because he said he would not work under specific people. Unfortunately, I had a family to take care of so I had to stay. I was then moved to the corporate office as a scheduler (planner) for the machinery that manufactured the parts. I did work in the corporate office for about a year before my time came to an end. I discovered I was pregnant. I approached my boss with the news that I was pregnant and it was a high risk pregnancy because of my age which meant I did have to go to the doctor’s office more often than normal. My boss understood. The next day when I went to work, at the end of the day, I was told I was being let go. The company was eliminating my position. I definitely knew this was not the case. I was working in a man’s world in the corporate office and was the first one pregnant, besides how could a company eliminates the position that scheduled the work load for the machinery that made the product for their customers. I did not rest there. I did decide to take the matter to a lawyer. We did proceed with court case and I did win the case. I was able to sit at home my whole pregnancy,...

...Southwest Airlines has been profitable since 1973â�"an enviable record no other U.S. airline can match, let alone beat. Much of the credit for the airline's enduring success goes to CIO Herb Kelleher, an affable, hard-driving leader whose fun-loving personality pervades the entire organization, top to bottom. After all, how many airlines have the ticker symbol LUV or paint Seaworld's "Shamu the Whale" on a jetliner? The history of Southwest reflects its CEO's tenacity. Kelleher had a law practice in San Antonio when a client suggested starting a discount airline to link three Texas cities. After five years of legal battles due to competitors' objectionsâ�"before deregulation opened the skies to anything-goes competition and pricingâ�"southwest finally got off the ground in 1971. To keep airfares low, the start-up avoided extras such as meal service and got planes in and out of the gate in twenty minutes or less. The airline now serves dozens of cities across the United States using the original formula of low prices, low costs, and high productivity to keep profits high. In fact, Southwest's operating margins are now three times higher than the industry average. Kelleher knows that other airlines can buy the same planes and fly the same routes, even set the same prices. What they can't imitate, he pointedly notes, is Southwest's legendary team spirit. The workforce of 30,000 is fiercely loyal to Kelleher and the company, pitching in to get things done on time and within budget...

The franchisee has the duty to pay the franchisor certain fees and royalties in exchange for these rights. The franchisor has the duty to provide these rights and support the franchisee.
