<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Of all the outrageous warning signs and postings I have seen, this one is one of the best! This was a sign taped in the courthouse in White Plains, New York, Westchester Supreme Court. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This sign warns you not to take a selfie in the bathroom. There is a sign outside the door and one inside near the sink, in case you thought you might ignore the first sign as you walked in. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And in case you were wondering if this was an actual law, conspicuously placed at the bottom of this notice is the number of the executive order and the year it went into effect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The signs says: All cell phone use, including taking pictures, is prohibited in this area. - Executive order #2 of 2014.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It's a sad state of affairs when a sign is needed to remind people that you need to dress appropriately when at the courthouse and that appropriately means: pants worn at the waist! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The joke goes that so many things you learn in school you will never use in real life. The funny thing about this is in actuality, at times, you do use those lessons in real life without even realizing it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For example, when you try to beat the red light, your mind is calculating how fast you must travel for a certain distance in order to get past the light before it turns green. Your mind is really calculating trigonometry. Or is it calculus? Whatever it is, it sounds a lot like this math problem on analyzemath.com: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Problem 1: A person 100 meters from the base of a tree, observes that the angle between the ground and the top of the tree is 18 degrees. Estimate the height h of the tree to the nearest tenth of a meter.</span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are so many lessons in high school that you would think you will never need again. Law school is no different. How many times in law school did I learn a doctrine that I truly felt I will never use nor see ever again? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Until that time that I did see it again... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One day I was reading a book for my local book club, The Alienist by Caleb Carr. First published in 1994, it was a major phenomenon, spending six months on the New York Times bestseller list, receiving critical acclaim, and selling millions of copies. A "touchstone of historical suspense fiction", a period piece that is "fast-paced and riveting, infused with historical detail". Sounded interesting enough! It is the last place I would think to find an esoteric legal doctrine I learned in my first year of law school, in Torts class no less. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But there it was. the text bounced off the pages of the book and knocked me into my quondam days of being a 1L: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>"Res ipsa loquitor". </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First of all, even the word "torts" is not one that is ever used outside the halcyon days of first year of law school. Instead one says "personal injury case". So to see res ipsa loquitor a decade later was a precipitous journey way back to sitting in the back of Torts class at Howard University. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So for all 1L students struggling through your classes. It may seem unforeseeable but don't worry because one of these days those seemingly expendable legal dogmas will creep up on you when you least expect it! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Paid by the Minute - New California law says you must be paid by the minute</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It started with fast food workers demanding higher wages. Now all workers across the nation have galvanized to win a $15 an hour minimum wage. In 2012, 200 fast food workers walked off the job to demand $15 hourly wages and union rights. What began as a fast food workers plight has become a global movement! Thanks to Fightfor15.org, now more than one in five workers is covered by $15 minimum wage. Twenty-two million workers have won $68 million in raises.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The federal minimum wage is set at $7.25 an hour and has remained the same since 2009. According to the Associated Press, twenty states have minimum wage increases taking effect in 2019. Twenty-Nine states and the District of Columbia have set minimum wages above the federal level since 2009. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is great to see that workers are getting an increase in their minimum hourly wage. But when you think about it, nowadays everything is tracked and pinpointed. Your location can be pinpointed and be off by just a few yards, if even that. Time also can be tracked by the millisecond, or even less than that. What then, if you work an extra 2 minutes at work? Shouldn’t you get paid for those extra two minutes? </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">California courts say yes! California Supreme Court departs from the doctrine of federal wage-and-hour de minimus doctrine that excuses the payment of wages for very small amounts of time that are irregular and administratively difficult for the employees to track. But nowadays time need not be difficult to track at all. According to the California Supreme Court, if the time can be captured, then it can and must be paid. This means that if you stay at work for an extra 2 minutes, then you must be paid for those extra two minutes! </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But wait a minute!</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is one unexpected, small, minor, shall I say, </span><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">minute </span><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">problem with this ruling. This pay-by-the-minute ruling suggests that now your time at work cannot be rounded up. Rounding up of time is common and it is permissible under federal law. But if we are tracking by the minute, essentially tracking by the second, then rounding up seems to be </span><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">de minimis. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rounding up of your time at work becomes negligible and unnecessary. Think about it, for a minute or two and you will see that it makes sense. Or on second thought, if you live in California, use those extra few minutes instead and get back to work…. Because you get paid by the minute!</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Michael Jackson's estate, the Neverland Ranch is on the market for 31 million dollars, a 69 million dollar price drop from its original listing back in 2015 for $100 million. Listed now for a discounted 31 million dollars is a bargain. But will Neverland Ranch ever sell? </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Neverland Ranch has been priced to move but here are five reasons why Neverland Ranch will never sell.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">5. The first problem with the sale of Jackson's Neverland Ranch is that the area where Neverland Ranch is located known as Los Olivos, California, has been devastated by wildfires, mudslides, and drought. People are not purchasing property in that area. And most certainly, people are not buying distraught property at such an inflated price point.</span>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">4. The next problem with the sale of Jackson's Neverland Ranch is that the high-end luxury real estate market is depreciated and taking a hit at this present time. People are simply not buying million-dollar homes like they used to. According to Coldwell Banker’s 2019 State of Luxury report, there was a moderation in the pace of luxury home sales in 2018 due to several factors, including increasing inventory levels, elevated pricing, and—to a lesser degree—rising interest rates. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">3. Another big problem with finding a buyer for the Neverland Ranch is that this estate is essentially a crime scene. Police searched the entire house and property after the 2003 allegations of abuse against Jackson. A 2005 trial ended in acquittal on charges of child molestation. Jackson then moved out of the Neverland Ranch and vowed to never return. Least we forget these allegations on Jackson, there is a documentary on HBO airing just a few days after the sales listing of the Neverland Ranch.</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2. Another obstacle to signing a buyer for the Neverland Ranch, which the new property managers have certainly considered, is that Michael Jackson's property will forever be known as Neverland Ranch. The new agents must have taken this into consideration because it was rebranded with a new name: The Sycamore Valley Ranch. As if by changing the name anyone can forget that this is the world-famous Neverland Ranch!</span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1. And the number one reason why Neverland Ranch will probably never be sold is because The Neverland Ranch is known for 2700 acres, a 12,000 square foot 5 bedroom house, a few guest houses, a lagoon-style swimming pool, an amusement park with a ferris wheel, roller coaster, carousel, bumper cars, and an arcade, two train locomotives, a fire department with a 1950s fire truck, a 50 seat movie theatre, and world famous menagerie with exotic pets that Michael Jackson owned such as an elephants, orangutans, and llamas. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One would think that all these amenities would warrant the sale tag price of $31 million. But see, Neverland Ranch, where Michael Jackson resided for about 15 years, is being sold without the amusement park, nor menagerie of exotic pets. The Neverland Ranch, or as they call it now, the Sycamore Valley Ranch, is also being offered for sale without any of Michael Jackson's personal affects. Without these things, NeverLand may never be sold. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Doctora Ana Maria Polo from Caso Cerrado is a judge on TV but that was only half her dream.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">And that's exactly what Justin Timberlake did. And I'm sure many of you reading this can't wait for November 8th to go out there and vote and then SNAP, post, tweet, hashtag this experience away. Because if you don't </span>snapchat<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> it or post it in some way- well, it just didn't happen, right?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Well, no. Go to the voting booth and VOTE. In fact, tweet all you want about it. Just DONT SNAP THAT PICTURE! NO pictures at all! Cuz then you'll need a lawyer. You can call me but, I really do want you out of trouble! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Did you hear about Delta Airlines and the doctor that was on board?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Real quick --- the plane was in flight when a passenger needed medical assistance. A black woman doctor tries to assist but was halted by flight attendant and blocked access to the passenger in need because: we are looking for a physician, please sit down. This is no time for questions, we need a doctor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Yeah. So. After the black woman doctor repeatedly said: I AM a doctor, the flight attendant then asks her for ID. Cuz, you know, that's what you do in a medical emergency. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Anyways, read the whole story here </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/tamika.cross.52?fref=nf&pnref=story">https://www.facebook.com/tamika.cross.52?fref=nf&pnref=story</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This lead to the twitter hashtag #whatadoctorlookslike.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In light of this, here is my take of #whatalawyerlookslike.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Because just last week, again I was asked for ID and asked incredulously, "You're a lawyer!?!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I didn't tweet about it, or make a facebook post about it or anything cuz ... <i>hasta cuando</i>? I mean really, how many times do I gotta write about it? I'm jaded. I'm tired.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I told Vic about it and he says he can be standing in court in a suit, holding his briefcase and he'll be referred to as the defendant: "Mr. Rodriguez?" and he has to say repeatedly: NO I'm his ATTORNEY."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For so long I kept thinking of changing my LinkedIn profile picture. But why? I'm not changing it. Get used to it. That's #whatalawyerlookslike cuz that's what I look like!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Why should lawyers bother to write in plain English, as opposed to garbled 'legalese'?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">They point out that: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Arguably, in today’s high-tech world, where legal </i></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>documents are increasingly likely to be read on-screen rather than on the printed page, brevity and clarity have never been more important.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So true. I couldn't agree more! The legal field needs to change with the times. As well, being that now there are more and more Hispanics in the United States. 56.6 million. That is the Hispanic population of the United States as of July 1, 2015, making people of Hispanic origin the nation's largest ethnic or racial minority. Hispanics constituted 17.6 percent of the nation's total population. </span><a href="http://www.infoplease.com/spot/hhmcensus1.html" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">www.infoplease.com</a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">T</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">herefore, I would add that the legal field needs to change with the times and therefore, more and more lawyers need to speak Spanish! </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">Pronto</i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">! #bilinguallawyer</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">First the police fail her when they can't locate her father's killer.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Wait. But there is no statute of limitations for murder, right? NO there isn't. So what happened here?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Let's start from the beginning of this needs-to-be-made-into-a-movie story. Let's go back to the eighties in Washington Heights, New York. The neighborhood was plagued with violence, crime, and drugs. Joselyn Martinez' father was</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> working at his restaurant that fateful night when a teenager made lewd comments to a waitress. Joselyn's father walked over to defend the woman and throw the teen out of his establishment. That should have been the end of that. But this teen was armed. A fight ensued and Joselyn's father was killed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The perpetrator fled to the Dominican Republic. However, in the Dominican Republic, there's a law that says that a Dominican citizen murdered anywhere in the world is a crime that can be prosecuted in the Dominican Republic. Jocelyn's father being a Dominican citizen meant that fleeing to the Dominican Republic was not exactly a perfect escape plan for Justo Santos. So when Justo Santos fled to Dominican Republic, he was arrested there for the murder of Jose Martinez. In an interesting turn of events however, Justo Santos did very little time for the crime, after which he came back to the United States. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">He was ordered to pay a fine and 1 year in jail. Then, I'm guessing he says to himself, "I want to go to Disney," because h</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">e takes residence in Florida. </span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When he arrives in Florida, he applies for citizenship under false pretenses. Again, I'm guessing he thought he got away with murder so he can get away with falsifying government documents. So he became a US citizen, and lived a normal life in Florida, holding down a job and supporting his new family.</span></div>

Joselyn's soul is incomplete. That emptiness burned a relentless desire to find her father's killer. Joselyn's search did not cease. Until one day, in the midst of yet another tiredless, late night internet search matrix --- there he was! </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Joselyn finds a man that appears to be her father's killer living in Florida. Can it be? She alerts authorities. The police go pick him up from Florida and bring him to New York and charge him with murder.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is 25 years later or so, actually almost 30 years later. Joselyn, and her mother, attend the hearings for the murder trial, prayful that justice will finally be realized. However, in a peculiar turn of events, the judge threw out the case saying, the police made no efforts to find him and according to a 1978 ruling, the police have a duty to make "diligent efforts". Never mind that the perpetrator was in another country! Case was dismissed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But the authorities didn't fail Joselyn Martinez this time! The feds pick him up in Florida once again, this time for immigration fraud. Joselyn gets word of the trial and she and her mom hop a flight to Miami, to the United States District Court. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Joselyn was there to hear the verdict: GUILTY. Justo Santos stands to do 10 years for immigration fraud when he is sentenced later this year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Justice Sonia Sotomayor says the Supreme Court needs more diversity, amid the politically charged debate about filling a vacancy on the high court. </span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 11.326px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">The life of California's Yolo County’s first Latina judge, Sonia Cortes, has now come full circle with her official “robing.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 11.326px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 11.326px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">Cortes, the daughter of farm workers and a Winters High School graduate who went on to obtain a legal degree and become an attorney, took the oath of office before a capacity crowd in the auditorium of Pioneer High School Friday night.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 11.326px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 11.326px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">“Those ambitions led my parents to settle in a small house in Winters where they would work in the fields, pick crops and think about the future of their three daughters,” she said. ... The family moved to Yolo Housing — the same migrant housing she would one day be put in charge of successfully reorganizing — “where I would watch rerun episodes of Perry Mason and think I one day, too, would be a lawyer.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 11.326px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 11.326px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">“And my road leads me to this moment, where the governor has appointed me. And here I am before you the first Latina to be appointed a judge in Yolo County,” she said. “Today is an</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"> honor ... but more than an honor it’s an obligation, an obligation to fulfill the duties entrusted to me, to turn the wheels justice, to create an atmosphere where both sides are heard in a dignified manner and being accurate and skilled in my decisions.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 11.326px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 11.326px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif;">“Let me clear,” Cortes continued. “I am committed to carrying out my duties with fairness, impartiality with absence of bias. I am determined to have a courtroom which exemplifies patience, dignity and courtesy for all those who appear before the bench ... So, yes, today is an honor and today represents an obligation to apply the law impartially. But today is also about a promise, a promise I made to myself as a young girl to give back to the community and society that has supported me and my family.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My mother is very charitable. She always gives money to peddlers on the subway. Everyday. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I ask her, "How do you know they aren't using it for drugs or something other than food?" </span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Her answer, "If you are really that concerned about that, then go ahead and buy them a sandwich. Me? I want to give them money and pray that they do the right thing."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But alas, I still felt uncomfortable being charitable. Until NOW. You see, with KIVA, its not a charity. With KIVA, I'm not <i>giving </i>money. I'm <i>lending </i>money. It's a loan to help out a family who needs it. For example... </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Maria is seeking a loan to buy two mild cows so she can make cheese to sell in the surrounding areas. In this way she would generate income for her family. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the future she</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> wants to use the income from fruit sales, the harvest,a nd the cows bought with the loan money to buy more cows and increase milk production.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Maria tiene 43 años de edad, solamente logro estudiar hasta noveno grado, ahora ella está casada y su esposo se dedica a la agricultura. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">El crédito solicitado, lo necesita para comprar dos vacas que le producirán leche para la elaboración de queso, el cual sale a venderlo a sus alrededores y le genera ingresos para mantener a su familia. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sus planes a futuro son que con los ingresos que obtiene de la venta frutas y de la siembra y del préstamo para la compra de las vacas, podrá en un futuro incrementar el numero de vacas y así la producción de leche.</span></div>
