If your child did poorly on an End-Of-Grade test?
By Lewis Pitts, Esq.Column #197; August 12, 2005The End-of-Grade (EOG) or End-of-Course tests that public school children in North Carolina must take near the end of a school year can cause lots of stress and anxiety, both for children and parents. If your child scores a III or a IV, s/he is said to be performing at grade level or is "proficient." However, a score of I or II means your child is at risk of academic failure and may not be promoted to the next grade level.

By Evan Lewis, Esq.Column #196; May 1, 2005
April was Fair Housing Month, celebrating the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. That landmark legislation, enacted in the aftermath of the death of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., sought to ensure equal housing opportunity throughout our land. Unfortunately, we have not achieved that goal, which remains important today.

Lie Detectors at Work
By Richard M. Klein, Esq.Column #195; April 15, 2005
If you are thinking about using "lie-detector" equipment at your work place, you had better be aware of a federal law that limits this practice and that has virtually eliminated pre-1988 widespread use of polygraph examinations by private employers.
