Court sides with Yahoo in data collection case
Attorney Press Release |
2013/07/17 23:14
|
Yahoo has won a court fight that could help the public learn more about the government's efforts to obtain data from Internet users.
The U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which reviews government requests to spy on individuals, ruled Monday that information should be made public about a 2008 case that ordered Yahoo Inc. to turn over customer data.
The order requires the government to review which portions of the opinion, briefs and arguments can be declassified and report back to the court by July 29.
The government sought the information from Yahoo under the National Security Agency's PRISM data-gathering program. Details of the secret program were disclosed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who has fled the U.S.
The program came to light in early June after The Washington Post and Guardian newspapers published documents provided by Snowden. It allows the NSA to reach into the data streams of U.S. companies such as Yahoo, Facebook Inc., Microsoft Corp., Google Inc. and others, and grab emails, video chats, pictures and more. U.S. officials have said the program is narrowly focused on foreign targets, and technology companies say they turn over information only if required by court order.
Yahoo requested in court papers filed June 14 to have the information about the 2008 case unsealed. A Yahoo spokeswoman hailed Monday's decision and said the company believes it will help inform public discussion about the U.S. government's surveillance programs. |

In the state of Maryland, there are different levels in categories for assault. These may be categorized as first degree assault, or second degree assault. A first degree assault would be defined as intentionally causing or attempting to cause serious physical injury to another. First degrees also include assaults attempted with firearms and weapons, with the potential of getting jail time of up to 25 years. Assault in the second degree manner is considered a misdemeanor and is defined as intentionally causing physical injury to another. A physically injury can mean any type of impairment to someone's physical condition. This charge is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or a fine not exceeding $2,500 or both.
However, sometimes there are valid defenses and arguments as to why someone may commit assault. Some reasons may include common self-defense or even reasonable defense of others. A knowledgeable and skilled Maryland assault lawyer
will be here every step of the way and be the aggressive legal help you need to investigate all viable defenses in order to have your charges dismissed.
Prosecutors in general usually do not have much tolerance when it comes to charges for domestic violence. Maryland domestic violence cases have most often a baseline charge of assault, destruction of property, or on the civil side, protection orders. A charge that involves or stems from a domestic relationship is generally defined as a domestic violence charge or case. As these cases most often involve contemporaneous civil filings, it is imperative to have an experienced Maryland domestic violence lawyer engaged with your case form the very outset. Often times conviction of a domestic violence charge could have ramifications in the ensuing civil cases, such as divorce, custody, or even child support.

Arizona appealed that decision to the Supreme Court.
Attorney Press Release |
2013/06/19 11:04
|
| The case focuses on Arizona, which has tangled frequently with the federal government over immigration issues involving the Mexican border. But it has broader implications because four other states — Alabama, Georgia, Kansas and Tennessee — have similar requirements, and 12 other states are contemplating such legislation. |
