Youngest Legal Age of Consent in the World

Some countries do not have a fixed age of consent, while others have the lowest legal age of consent in the world. Some countries do not have a fixed age for consent, but only allow sexual intercourse within marriage The age of consent in Italy is 14 and increases to 16 if one participant holds a position of authority or influence over the other (teacher, clergyman, etc.). In addition, it is illegal to engage in sexual acts if a person under the age of 14 is present to observe them, even if the minor does not participate. Sexual activity with a prostitute under the age of 18 is illegal in Italy. In addition, Italy has an age limit rule that allows 13-year-olds to legally consent to partners under three years older (or less). Under the Criminal Law Amendment Act 2013, the age of consent in India is 18. People under the age of 17 cannot legally consent to sexual activity, which could lead to prosecution for rape. In 1892, the age of consent was 10, but it gradually increased over time to 18. The age of consent should be lowered to 16, as many police-reported cases of sexual assault involve people between the ages of 16 and 18 who engage in consensual sex but are reported by disapproving parents. According to article 227-25 of the Penal Code, the age of consent in France is generally 15 and 18 if the sexual act is with a parent or a person who has “legal or de facto authority” over the minor participant.

Legal rape (or its local equivalent) is punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of €75,000 (€83,226). The law was only passed in April 2018 following an outcry from two men accused of having sex with 11-year-old girls. The French government has decided to set the age at 13 or 15. The ten France territories have also set the age of consent at 15. The France has a Romeo and Juliet clause that disclaims liability if a person under the age of 15 has sex with someone within five years of their age. Currently, the age of consent is 16 in 76 countries around the world, and Kenya would be the last country to lower the age of consent if the law proposed by the judges were implemented. Obscene laws on minors, which take precedence over the penal code, contain age of consent laws for some prefectures. In some, sexual activity with people under the age of 15 is illegal, but in others, the age is 18. In these prefectures, sexual activity with a person under the age of consent can carry a prison sentence of up to five years. Although rare, in some prefectures, even hugging or holding hands with minors can be illegal. The age at which a person is considered legally capable of consenting to sexual activity varies widely around the world – and even in Europe. The age of consent in Russia is 16.

However, as in many countries, the age of consent in Russia has changed several times. The Criminal Code of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) stipulates that consent takes place at the time when “sexual maturity” has been reached. It was set at 16 years in 1996 when the Russian Criminal Code was introduced, lowered to 14 years in 1998 and postponed to 16 years in 2003. In Russia, there is no law on age limits. However, articles 134 and 135 of the Criminal Code, which set out the conditions for legal rape, stipulate that the perpetrator must be at least 18 years of age to be legally responsible, creating roughly the same protection as an age clause. The age of consent at which a person is legally old enough to engage in sexual activity varies from country to country in the world. The Civil Code also addresses the age of consent at the prefectural level (and sometimes at the level of communes within a prefecture). In Japan, a person must reach the age of 20 to be considered an adult, and parental consent plays an important role in legal issues affecting young people. Japan has several overlapping laws that deal with the age of consent. As a result, the age of consent varies considerably across the country.

The three main laws that define the age of consent in Japan are the Japanese Penal Code, the Obscene Minors Laws, and the Civil Code. Each sets different guidelines for determining when sexual activity is acceptable. To add to the confusion, some of these guidelines apply to all of Japan, while others apply only to a subset of Japan`s 47 administrative regions or prefectures. In Cyprus, Ireland, Mexico and Nauru, you cannot legally consent to sex until you are 17.

Get exclusive access to anonymized legal salary data. The progress of various avocados is promising, Liu predicts. “In 1999, I was the only attorney general who was an Asian American,” he says. “Ten years later, we have ten times as many. What if we continued this trend? Well, the calculation doesn`t work that way, but it`s clear we`re making progress. If we see an improvement four or five times in the next ten years, that would be a phenomenal achievement. I would be very satisfied with that result. “Diversity is not just a goal at Xerox. This is not just a “good thing.” It`s all our DNA; It`s about who we are, about who we are,” said Don Liu, Xerox General Counsel. “We`ve been committed to diversity for much longer than other companies.

This is a key priority for the company. The metrics support Liu`s claim. Of the U.S. lawyers in Xerox`s legal department, 25 percent are minorities and 40 percent are women. “My goal here is not to ruin everything,” he jokes modestly. In Liu`s case, this is highly unlikely, as he is the only general counsel to have twice received MCCA`s coveted Employer of Choice Award (first as general counsel of IKON Office Solutions). DB Louie Pastor relinquished his GC designation to become General Counsel and Director of Corporate Development. In his newly expanded role, Pastor will continue to oversee Xerox`s legal team while leading the company`s nascent corporate development group. Xerox`s legal department is worth copying.

The company is ahead of the curve when it comes to diversity. Liu is skeptical about in-house mentoring programs. “We don`t have a formal legal mentorship program within the legal department. That`s not to say we don`t have mentors. Any good manager should be a mentor to his employees. Liu not only urges his staff to invest in everyone`s professional development, but also believes in the importance of helping various law students find their way, and he has mentored countless young lawyers and students.

Wows Legal Mods

As with most other modpacks for the game, Aslain`s modpack offers a huge collection of mods that cover everything from new crosshairs to UI optimizations to enhance your gaming experience. Use only the official modstation. Everything else carries the risk of getting something with mods you don`t want, whether it`s unwanted software or support/account banning for using illegal mods. No matter what a mod pack claims to be, you`re still in danger if you don`t use the official thing. Sorry guys, I don`t know where to find a full list of what allows and doesn`t allow in terms of mods, so maybe someone here can lead a tired idiot in the right direction. I recommend thinking about what you want to change from the interface, and then start looking at what mods they are, to change that if you usually find something. What makes Aslain`s modpack interesting is that many of its mods were actually so good that they were officially included in the game by the developers themselves. In general, ModStation would be the way to go if everything you want to use is available simply because it comes with WG`s guarantee that nothing will create a fake flag on your account. But if there are mods in Aslains that you want that aren`t in ModStation, they`re still considered legal and won`t lead to permanent account strikes. Aslain has been working with WG for years and 90% of Modstation`s mods are thanks to him.

Essentially, we users download its modpack, test the mods and if they are OK, they enter Modstation, they end up being slowly implemented in the vanilla client. The score stopwatch and the tracking stopwatch after firing the weapons must be made of vanilla as they are very useful. Although in version 0.10.7, the score timer was buggy in both Modstation and Aslain. John Der33`s camouflage set is one of the most popular cosmetic mods and offers a number of different skins to change the look of your ships. There is a chance that one of them will generate a false positive, but if it is a mod available through the forums, it can be challenged and should not result in the permanent expiration of the account. A few years ago, there was a reasonably popular visual redesign mod called ReShade, which resulted in many players being hit with false positive bans for modifying DLL files in the same way that some malicious programs with malicious intent could and/or could be harmful. All of these bans were lifted, but ReShade was later listed as a banned mod – not because the end result was technically banned, but because the method used to make these changes could also be used to insert code allowing fraud. At that time, the systems WG used to detect fraud saw that ReShade inserted custom DLL files, but could not distinguish between “legal” files used to scam (or even those installed without your knowledge by people trying to steal personal information). The Modpack of Assain or the official modpack “ModStation” if you are worried. All its mods are also compatible, so you shouldn`t have any problems with this pack installed. Players are therefore looking for mods to add brilliance to their graphics. HOWEVER, in the past, we had banned some mods from its mod pack.

Aslains is available on official forums, so it`s legal. It didn`t seem so legal because of the word from the official World of Warship website If you want to use a mod for the game client, use the ModStation installer or mods that can be downloaded from our official forum. Before you go crazy about mods, I suggest you try a few: legal or not, If WOWS crashes, WG support will still blame the MOD if you use one. Is there a list of mods that can be used – with Wargaming`s approval? So, is the mod that allows you to see all the ships available in the game legal? You can only see the ships in the harbor, but not buy the unavailable ships or send them into battle. Here is the mod link: This is what is posted on the official website. I wonder if I can see ships that are not legally included in the tech tree? I can check the modules on the ship, but that`s it. These include those still working on British aircraft carriers and other ships in the Supertest. With that in mind, most of the m9ds on the Aslains website are legal.

Word Legal to Letter

You`ve been working on your document for hours. It is 35 pages long and is designed to be printed on paper in legal format. You decide to print the document and find that you no longer have legal paper. What do you do if you don`t get a legal document right away? You can reformat the document to letter-sized paper, but this may not be the best solution. There you go! After clicking Print in Adobe Reader, your report is now printed on letter-size paper. Occasionally, you may need to print a legally sized report or form on stationery. To do this, you must first print your report in legal format in PDF format, and then use Adobe Reader to reduce the pages to letters. Here`s how: This document describes how to print letter-sized pages on letter-sized paper in WinTOTAL Aurora. The size of Microsoft Word documents can be changed at any time for existing documents, regardless of their current size.

For example, if you have a legal size document – 8.5″ x 14″ – but only letter size paper – 8.5″ x 11″ available for printing, reduce the document from legal size to letter. The content of the document remains the same, and after printing, you can change it back to the legal size. Click the Page Setup tab, click the Size drop-down menu, and then select Legal to restore the document to the allowed size when you`re done. Documents come in different shapes and sizes, such as legal documents or brochures. In Word, you can adjust the paper size to match the type of document you`re working on, or change the default paper size for all new documents. We guide you through! Fortunately, Word includes a feature that allows you to independently specify a target paper size and an output paper size. This means that you can format something for the allowed size, but you can have Word scale the output to fit the size of the letter. This is very similar to a reduction setting on a copier. To use this feature if you are using Word 2007, follow these steps: Under Settings, click the Legal drop-down menu and select Letter. The size of each page of the document now changes from Legal to Letter format.

Since letter-size paper is smaller than legal-sized paper, the document contains more pages. Thanks for that, Allen.Je translated a book with a coverage larger than A4 and less than A3, and this trick allowed me to scale the cover to A4 for printing, while leaving the actual formatting of the document intact. A drop-down menu will appear where you will see a generous list of paper sizes. Simply select an option from this list to change the paper size of the entire document. Many users use AutoText to improve their use of Word. If you spend a lot of time adapting AutoText to. At the bottom of the dialog box, click Set as Default. I tried this a lot for Word 2016, but I couldn`t find a scaling option in the print dialog or otherwise. My Word 2016 has different dialogues than the ones you show here. Under Advanced Options, I even unchecked the “Scale content to A4 or 8.5×11” box. Can you offer additional help with this? Thanks for the advice. It is helpful.

Is there a way to change the DEFAULT setting of the “Scale to paper size” field? (In old Word 2003) First, make sure the cursor is where you want the new paper size to start. If it`s in the middle of a page, it will simply move it to a new page after selecting the new size. Need a quick way to show and hide columns in a spreadsheet? The keyboard shortcuts described in this tip can help fill out the bill. The location where you had your cursor will now appear on a new page with the new paper size. Marshall is an author with experience in the data storage industry. He has worked at Synology and most recently as CMO and technical writer at StorageReview. He is currently an API/software technical writer based in Tokyo, Japan, runs VGKAMI and ITEnterpriser, and spends little free time learning Japanese. Learn more. Here, on the Paper tab of the Page Setup dialog box, under Paper Size, select the size you want.

Keyboard shortcuts are a great way to apply styles to text in a document. You can easily create a keyboard shortcut for. Word`s default paper size is “letter,” which is equivalent to 8.5 x 11 inches. If you frequently use a size other than the default, you can change the default size of all new documents. This way, you don`t need to change the paper size of every new document you create. Work. Aren`t these options in the Print dialog box specific to a particular printer? I wish I had this optionLarryWord for Mac 2011 appear asking you to confirm the change. Click Yes. At the bottom of the dialog box, click the drop-down arrow next to Apply to, click This forward point, and then click OK. To change the paper size of a Word file, open the document and go to the Page Setup group on the Page Setup tab.

Without Limitation Meaning in Law

There are three problems with using unrestricted and include, but not limited to, include (and their equivalents using includes) to make it clear that the full meaning applies. “Without Borders.” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/without%20limit. Retrieved 14 January 2022. In this example, “partners” and “customers” do not logically fit into the list (unless you delete the unrestricted phrase and complete this list. We cannot agree with [the complainant`s] assertion that “the administrative authority responsible for supervising offenders and establishing a safe zone for children considered the words `including` and `including` to be statutes of limitations”, since the definition of “child safety zone” in the document uses the phrase “but is not limited to” after the term “including”. I am very grateful for very helpful explanations! Freed my mind by a clear meaning, words haunted me because of their meaning and use. 15. Titles and Titles; Construction.

When writing an objective analysis or persuasive document, including a memorandum or brief, lawyers write under the same plagiarism rules that apply to most other authors,[6] with additional ethical implications for presenting copied documents as originals. [7] Legal pleadings and pleadings must correctly cite citations and references; However, in a law firm, a lawyer may borrow from other lawyers` texts without attribution, using a well-formulated and successful argument presented in a previous brief. First of all, there are few recent cases where the verb include takes on a restrictive meaning. More common are cases such as DIRECTV, Inc. v.

Crespin, 2007 U.S. App. Lexis 6279 (10th Cir. March 16, 2007) (refers to “the normal use of “include” as an introduction to an illustrative – and not exclusive—list). See also People v. Perry, 2007 WL 495285 (16 February 2007 ill.) (Referring in part to the “simple and ordinary meaning” of the word includes the statement that the absence of additional words, such as, but not limited to, does not preclude the following enumeration for illustrative purposes); Auer v. Commonwealth, 621 S.E.2d 140 (Va. Ct. App. 2005) (“In general, the word “include” implies that the list of parts or components supplied is not exhaustive and therefore not exclusive.”) Presumably, it is the everyday meaning of the verb to include, as well as the absence of cases, that gives it a restrictive meaning that allows Black`s Law Dictionary to conclude that expressions such as include without limitation and include, but not limited to, “mean the same thing” as include.

The term “including, but not limited to” or “including, but not limited to” is used to refer to an incomplete list by ensuring that the list contains other items that are not specifically mentioned. Second, there is little case law that says that adding without limitation or not limited to inclusion would make inclusion illustrative rather than limiting. While there are undoubtedly other cases, I only found two cases in an online search. Without limitation or limitation, a term is often used in the drafting of contracts, legal texts or official documents to present an incomplete list and to make it clear that the list contains other elements. The everyday meaning of including is such that including, but not limited to, including but not including the same as including. By and large, U.S. courts deal in most cases with the everyday meaning of a word. For this reason, most courts that have recently considered the meaning of inclusion have held that inclusion does not convey a restrictive meaning. In Jackson v. Concord Co., 253 A.2d 793 (N.J.

1969), the Court held that terms such as include are “words of extension and not limitation” and that the examples given thereafter are for illustrative purposes only. He goes on to say, “This is particularly the case here, where the word `including` is followed by the phrase `but not limited to`. But the attribution of meaning to “in particular” seems to contradict the Court`s superficial assertion that inclusion is illustrative. The Plain Language Movement in Legal Writing is about avoiding complex language and terminology in legal documents in order to make legal drafting more understandable and accessible. [10] One of the goals of the movement is to reduce reliance on art concepts, words that have some meaning in the context of law, but may have a different meaning in other contexts. [11] Shipowners benefit from a number of limitation agreements and contractual restrictions, and often their insurance (especially P&I covers) will be affected if they voluntarily waive these limitation rights, so careful attention to the text of the contract is essential. A contract for the waiver of the shipowner`s rights normally contains an express clause to that effect, namely: “The owner hereby agrees to limit his rights under the LLMC, CLC or other conventions…” ” or “The owner shall pay in full and without limitation any claim for damage to the charterer`s property arising out of this contract”. This wording should not be confused with the expression of American legal language that is now common in many commercial contracts around the world – “the owner agrees to indemnify/settle.

Why Was Bounty Law Cancelled

During a lengthy interview with Deadline, Tarantino gave a small update on his series “Bounty Law”, a spin-off based on the fake western series starring Rick Dalton as Jake Cahill, a ruthless bounty hunter. He revealed that he is busy with his books and that “Bounty Law” is still in his head, albeit years away, and also mentioned that Sony has expressed interest. Wanted Dead or Alive aired from 1958 to 1961 and starred McQueen as bounty hunter Josh Randall, who not only hunted refugees for money, but also provided various other services, including helping an amnesiac patient restore his memory and, oddly enough, finding Santa Claus. In the film, Dalton began taking on “heavy” or nasty roles after years of playing bounty hunter Jake Cahill in Bounty Law. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood begins with a clip from Bounty Law in which tough guy Cahill (played by Dalton, played by DiCaprio) brings brutal villains to justice. Tarantino created a very detailed story for Dalton and Bounty Law and said after the release of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood that he was considering shooting several episodes of the series. Quentin Tarantino plans to visit Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with a Bounty Law TV show based on the `60s western series starring Leonardo DiCaprio`s Rick Dalton as bounty hunter Jake Cahill. The esteemed filmmaker briefly opened up about his influences for the fictional show in a recent interview, revealing that he had already written five half-hour episodes for the series. Representatives for Tarantino, DiCaprio and Sony did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Plans to make the Tarantino TV show in “a year and a half” didn`t work out for obvious reasons. When asked by Deadline about the status of the project last June, Tarantino confirmed that he had written several episodes of Bounty Law, but said the project`s movement had been slowed by COVID and the release of his novel Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He was also working on Cinema Speculation, his book of film reviews, released earlier this month. 2019-07-18 – We`re just one week away from the release of Quentin Tarantino`s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and the talkative acclaimed director is promoting his film with force.

In a brand new interview with Deadline, Tarantino talked about the film, recent controversies and possible future projects, including his Star Trek feature film project and a Western TV series that would (ideally) star Leonardo DiCaprio. The director shared details about what the Tarantino TV show would be, which led to a lot of speculation — not film speculation, but TV speculation. (Variety noted that Tarantino last worked in television when he directed two episodes of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in 2005. And last year, it was reported that it had been spoken with direct episodes of a justified revival for FX. As Tarantino noted in his 2020 Deadline interview, Bounty Law “isn`t about Rick Dalton playing Jake Cahill. This is Jake Cahill. Thus, an actor other than Leonardo DiCaprio could theoretically play the role if DiCaprio is not willing to shoot eight episodes of a 1950s or 1960s television western. In an in-depth interview with Deadline, Quentin Tarantino reiterated his intention to withdraw from the film, but reiterated that this did not mean that he would abandon the creation of entertainment. For one, he wrote five full episodes of Bounty Law, the fictional Western TV series starring Rick Dalton — the character Leonardo DiCaprio plays in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: Tarantino has said in the past that he would make the series, regardless of whether Leonardo DiCaprio wouldn`t be interested in reprising the role of Rick Dalton. When asked if he would do a project about Cliff Booth`s (Brad Pitt) war service outside of the book, much of the novel version and how it would make a great movie, the filmmaker replied, “Hmm. One day, I will make his adventure in the prisoner of war camp. But that probably means writing another chapter or expanded book about that particular adventure. It`s time to add another potential project to Quentin Tarantino`s ever-growing list.

The filmmaker revealed that in preparation for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he wrote five episodes of Bounty Law, the film`s fictional TV series that stars Leonardo DiCaprio`s character, Rick Dalton. Instead of just letting these scripts gather dust, Tarantino says he actually wants to direct them for Netflix, HBO or another network. Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino did a lot of interviews, podcasts and TV appearances to promote the new version of “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.” He said some interesting things in each interview, such as Uma Thurman`s possible co-lead role with daughter Maya Hawke in the long-running “Kill Bill 3” tease, the desire to remake “First Blood” with Adam Driver and Kurt Russell in the lead roles, and the idea of remaking “Reservoir Dogs” with an all-black cast for his latest film. before considering a stage version instead. Elsewhere in the interview, Tarantino briefly mentioned that he had written a play, and also touched on his announced Star Trek movie, which is still in the early stages of discussion. He confessed that his interest in William Shatner brought him into the original Star Trek series and called Captain Kirk his “umbilical cord” for the franchise. He also took a moment to complain about Simon Pegg, who had previously said Tarantino`s Star Trek would not be pulp fiction in space. In fact, Tarantino confirmed, it will only be that – sort of. “If I do, that`s exactly what it will be,” the director said. He “It will be pulp fiction in space. When I read the script [written by Mark L. Smith], I felt like I`d never read a science fiction movie that had this in it.

Why Is Law so Complex

Throughout the case, more time is needed to read and analyze. After determining that it was too complex, the show`s contestants suggested that the Law Commission clarify it, but Anderson compared the task to the Works of Hercules. Codification is ideal, but it will not happen. The government`s priorities are not necessarily the priorities of legal clarification. It is an interesting debate, but there seems to be a lot of discussion, but not much that needs to be done to address the recognized complexity that causes problems and costs for individuals and businesses. Katz, D. M. & Bommarito, M. J. Measuring the complexity of the law: the United States Code. Artif. Intell. Law 22, 337-374 (2014).

Ruhl, J. B., Katz, D. M. & Bommarito, M. J. Using legal complexity. Science 355, 1377-1378 (2017). While there are many ways to measure complexity, Katz and Bommarito focused on finding rules and assimilating rules, which are, respectively, “How complex is the task of determining the rule or set of rules applicable to the behavior in question?” and “How complex is the process of assimilating the informational content of a set of rules?” While there are many other ways to measure legal complexity, such as the cost of complying with laws, they chose to limit their investigation to the difficulty of understanding this legal code. But how complicated are our laws? Daniel Katz and Michael Bommarito of Michigan State University recently set out to measure exactly that in a discussion paper titled “Measuring the Complexity of the Law: The Code of the United States.” They tried to quantitatively measure the complexity of the U.S. Code using about one measure to determine how difficult it is to understand it. The United States Code is essentially the collection of all federal statutes and consists of 51 headings or sections, each dealing with different subjects. For example, Title 11 refers to bankruptcy, Title 26 refers to our tax legislation and Title 39 refers to our postal service.

Since there are many sections with different topics and styles, comparing the complexity of different titles is a natural way to examine the different legal complexities. But how does it work? Lee, B., Lee, K.-M. & Yang, J.-S. The structure of the network reveals models of legal complexity in human society: the case of the constitutional network. PLOS UN 14, 1-15. doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0209844 (2019). An intriguing next step would be to see the complexity of the various titles, as well as the entire US code, change over time. But even without that, it`s amazing how different and complex our federal laws are. I recommend reading the full document; It`s a great read.

It has been said that the courts are overmanaged. Life is subtle and complicated. Lawyers are used to convince a judge that it is possible to do something that has never been done before. Lawyers do their job and their clients go to people who are trained in dialectical arguments, which creates complexity in the system. Regular reforms are needed to clean up the system. The scope of the law means that it is not sufficiently scrutinized and, therefore, complexity is not the fault of lawyers. The world is really complex. The simpler your legal system, the more erroneous it becomes. The law must be complex. Example: Simple version of the law – it is illegal to steal. Okay, a guy picks a flower from someone else`s garden.

Did he steal it? And is it the same as the guy who took a BMW that didn`t belong to him? It can be frustrating, even for lawyers, that laws are so long and complex. But shorter laws would inevitably lead to additional loopholes, ambiguities, and unintended consequences – like the one that led to the friend`s loophole in the first place. Modern societies rely on law as the main mechanism to control their development and manage their conflicts. Through carefully designed rights and duties, institutions and procedures, the law can enable people to engage in increasingly complex social and economic activities. Therefore, law plays an important role in understanding how societies change. To explore the interaction between law and society, we need to look at how the two evolve over time. This requires a reliable quantitative understanding of the changes taking place in both areas. But while the quantification of societal changes has been the subject of enormous research efforts for many years in fields such as sociology, economics or social physics1,2,3,4,5,6, much less work has been done to quantify legal change. In fact, lawyers have traditionally viewed the law as barely quantifiable, and while there is no shortage of empirical legal studies,7,8,9 researchers have only recently begun to apply data science methods to law.10,11,12,13 To date, there is relatively little quantitative work that explicitly addresses legal changes,14,15,16,17,18,19 and there is almost no science that analyzes the evolving outcomes of the legislative and executive branches of national governments on a large scale.

Making these data sources accessible to the interdisciplinary scientific community will be crucial to understanding how law and society interact. But even if you`re only looking at that kind of complexity, there are many ways to investigate it. For example, the more closely a section of the law is linked, the more difficult it is to truly assimilate and understand the effects of the law. Here`s a look at a particularly interconnected section, a brief section of the U.S. Code dealing with the Alaska Railroad: More serious politicians on both parties recognize that complex issues — such as health care, taxes, and national security — need to be addressed in detail. But it is always reasonable to ask why so many laws seem so long. Rosvall, M. & Bergstrom, C. T. Maps of random walks in complex networks show the structure of the community.

PNAS 105, 1118-1123 (2008). So what were the most complex sections of the U.S. Code? Based on their classification, Title 42 (Public Health and Well-being) appears to be the most complex and interdependent, as does the Internal Revenue Code or Title 26. Which shouldn`t surprise anyone who has tried to pay their taxes. However, the increase in the number of hierarchical elements or the number of references also tends to be correlated with a decrease in airworthiness, as this may indicate fragmentation of content: those trying to understand a legal norm will more often be forced to combine information from several places in the law to obtain a complete picture of its content. This difficulty is only exacerbated by dominant legal information systems, which often require users to click on hierarchies of legal elements and rarely allow them to display a personalized selection of organizational units in a single browser tab for shared appreciation. As a result, our statistics for both countries support the intuition that their legislative apparatuses are also becoming increasingly complex – although the increase in complexity is due to different design decisions in the two jurisdictions. While the difference between the editorial styles of legislation is of natural interest to comparative jurisprudence, the common trend of growth that we observe raises a broader question: what is the source? While many informal factors influence how people interact, modern societies rely on law as the primary mechanism to formally control human behavior.

Why Do Articles Use Brackets

Unless you`re a mathematician or tinkerer, everything you need to know about the brackets can be found in the Guardian`s style guide entry, beautifully written by my former colleague Nikki Marshall: In this situation, parentheses are used to clarify who “we” is referring to specifically, thus clarifying the quote. They would need the brackets because without them, it would mean that Steph said the whole sentence, when in reality she omitted “Steph and her brother”. Not adding parentheses when editing a quote will result in incorrect citation, which can often have negative effects, especially if you are writing formally, such as in an academic essay, report, or survey article. Use parentheses when adding an explanation to a quote. 4. Sometimes parentheses are used to surround the dots that indicate missing words. The usual way to indicate that certain words have been omitted (an ellipse) is to mark the place with three dots (…). The parentheses are the rounded parentheses that look like this: ( ). Citation with incorrect parentheses instead of parentheses: You can call them parentheses or brackets, both are correct.

Parentheses are very often used in quotation marks because they are intended to indicate that words have been inserted into a direct quotation. Treat parentheses and the words they contain separately from the rest of the sentence. Any sentence containing a parenthetical element should always be useful when the element is deleted. DO NOT use parentheses to alter the original or intended meaning of a quotation. If you change the format of a citation to include bold or italicized text to add highlighting, you must indicate it in square brackets as follows: When it comes to parentheses, many people are confused about how to use them correctly. To begin with, did you know that there are three types of parentheses? There are [brackets], {braces} and (parentheses). Most often we use parentheses and brackets, with braces mostly used only in mathematical tests. By now, you should have a better idea of when to use parentheses in quotation marks and in your writing. If you`re a student and still have questions about grammar, punctuation, or general writing best practices, you can usually find help from student advisors. Note: In this example, parentheses are used incorrectly instead of parentheses, which gives the impression that the inserted word could be part of the original text.

And the last word goes to a Guardian reader, David Prothero of Harpenden: “Hooks aren`t cool, man.” You may also have parentheses or parentheses that are included in the original source code you are quoting, and you must specify this. In this case, you can format it like this: A third added succinctly: “I agree [with the letter above the brackets].” Parentheses indicate paraphrases. Newspapers paraphrase parts of quotes so that they fit properly into articles. “Brackets,” the grammarian said, “are used in direct quotation marks when interpolation [a note by the author or editor not spoken by the speaker] is added to provide essential information.” Periods, question marks and exclamation marks should only precede the closing parenthesis if they belong to the words in parentheses. If the punctuation belongs to the limiting sentence, place it outside the parentheses or parentheses. Never put a comma immediately before a closing parenthesis. And another: “Maybe someone will take the hint and explain [the purpose of the brackets].” To expand on what Kaiser said (which is quite correct), parentheses are used to indicate that the words are those of the author and not the subject cited. When we talk about parentheses, we are talking about the square type: [ ]. Sport is far from the only culprit – the practice spreads like a nasty rash – but a recent interview shows how parentheses can get a bit cluttered and make it difficult to read: “I was impressed with the pitch as a player. You`ve watched Man United and you`ve seen men.

[Eric] Cantona, Giggs, [David] Beckham, [Andrei] Kanchelsis, Bryan Robson, it went on. And further, he could have added. The sub-editor tried to help, but you would have to have spent 10 years on another planet not to know who “Cantona” or “Beckham” are. Use square brackets when changing the case or tense of a quoted verb. If you add parentheses to cite a source, it would look like this: If a direct quote contains words or a phrase in a language other than that of the main text, use parentheses to provide a translation. However, if the foreign language appears in text that is not part of a citation, you must use parentheses. If you need to formally quote something and it is considered unacceptable to add swearing, you can use the quote and insert parentheses to omit the censored word. The most common use of parentheses is to include explanatory elements that are added when editing another author`s work. They indicate that some kind of change has been made to the original text.

2.Sometimes a word in the quote is archaic or is used in a sense that may not be familiar to the intended reader, so the editor may want to give an explanation in parentheses: Parentheses could be used to indicate that the words in it were not exactly what the person said, but that they always convey the same meaning. They can also contribute to clarification with pronouns. Some people think that parentheses should be completely ignored if the meaning is not changed. Quote with correctly used parentheses around a clarifying word: “In your issue last Wednesday, at least two examples of square brackets were perfectly used – that is, to display an editorial note in a direct quote. The problem is that they are overused to offer something closer to the comment or opinion. In another recent article, the word “existing” was inserted into a quote about Internet speeds for no good reason, while a two-word sentence (“Of course.”) on sports pages was glossed over with nine words in square brackets. In fact, sports venues cause the most irritation in this area. An obligation to mention both names of the players leads to superfluous reminders that it is [Cesc] Fàbregas, Rio [Ferdinand] or [Rafael] Nadal. Regardless of the immediate source and context, anyone who reads the sports pages would almost certainly know who they are referring to. Perhaps your style guide could be modified to “use sparingly.” Parentheses in parentheses should be used (i.e. [as here]). Reader John B.

Moss asked if there were guidelines for the use of parentheses. They actually exist. Academic-style guidelines such as the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers address these topics in detail. It is extremely important to use parentheses when editing a direct quote – forgetting to add them will result in an incorrect quote. DO NOT change the error in a citation or omit parentheses if they are present at the origin. “I`m confused about [the apparent increase in] the use of [brackets] in [your] articles and articles. Is there a reason [or name] for this [phenomenon]? It seems to be [more] prevalent in your [reported] use of language. If I am [never] interviewed by a [newspaper] columnist, should I say `hook` and `tight hook` in the [appropriate] place, or should I rely on the interviewer [or editor] to insert them [where he sees fit]? Some (but not all) academic authors would put the dots in parentheses in a citation: In rare cases, you may find that you need to use both parentheses and parentheses in a single sentence or quoted text. There are several ways to do this. You can probably blame my colleagues for the increase in brackets. This is surprising since submarines spend most of their time cutting unnecessary material from stories, making them shorter and sharper, and not decorating them with superfluous supports, as some dog owners inexplicably hang fecal sacs filled with trees.

Note that the word sic should always be italicized, but the square brackets should remain formatted as usual. Here, we`ll take a closer look at the use of parentheses, including the use of quotation marked parentheses. We highlight the differences in the use of parentheses and brackets so you know exactly when to use them. Parentheses, sometimes called square brackets, are most often used to indicate that words have been added to a direct quotation. Sometimes when quoting a person or document, it is necessary to add a word or two to create enough context for the citation. For example, the original sentence you might want to quote might be, “We were and had a great time.” Taken out of context, this sentence does not mean much. However, you can add information in parentheses to clarify context. If there`s something you`re still not sure about, this do`s and don`ts list on how to use quotation mark parentheses should help clear things up: In this case, perhaps the topic was not well established in the previous sentences so that a reader could understand who “he” was referring to, So a clarification has been added in parentheses. Built-in quote with parentheses used correctly to indicate a change of case: I`ve lost count of the number of times I`ve removed “actor” from the phrase “Sienna Miller actress” in our coverage of the phone hacking scandal.

The clearing-house mechanism accepts applications on two types of issues: “public interest” issues that affect a significant number of people or raise a matter of general public interest; and “private interest” issues that have a reasonable chance of success. “Jonny Gordon is a great regulatory partner – he`s responsive, smart, always pleasant and has his finger on the pulse of the regulatory approach.” The Legal Professions Act 2006 obliges society to regulate itself in favour of consumers of legal services.
