HELP! Are there any LAW BUFFS here?

[ShnouzedUp]

Hey, im sittin here studyin for this business law test and i have a few questions about some things, surely some of you have a broad understanding of various parts of law... my test is tomorrow...

[IamtheChitt]

whats your questions?

[ShnouzedUp]

well for right now... How would you describe Capital of Defense? and what is the Felony Murder Rule? also is involuntary manslaughter considered a misdemeanor or a felony or both? depending on conviction?

also is de****g invasion of privacy, is tape recording a criminal law, and can you be sued for it?

[IamtheChitt]

Felony Murder Rule : The felony murder rule is a legal doctrine according to which anyone who commits, or is found to be involved in, a serious crime (a felony), during which any person dies, is guilty of murder. This applies even if one does not personally or directly cause the person's death. The rule was abolishied in the United Kingdom in 1957, but remains law in most of the United States and in some other jurisdictions

Invlontary Manslaughter could be either a a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the situation.

And i think making a tape recording is legal only if one of the parties knows about it...

I have no clue as to what capital of defense is....

cool thanks... here is another....What is Mailbox Rule? this has to do with contracts by the way

[IamtheChitt]

mail box rule - in contract law, making a written offer or acceptance of offer valid if sent in the mail, with postage, within the time in which the offer must be accepted, unless the offer requires acceptance by personal delivery on or before the specified date. The rule may also apply to mailing payments of insurance premiums when due. However, relying on this so-called "rule" can be dangerous, since the party awaiting the acceptance or payment may cancel the offer if there is no response in hand when the time runs out.

Litigation of Damages?

[Prada]

You're studying buisness law? It looks like criminal or civil law. I guess my Bus. Law was different. Also it depends by country. Diffrent jurisdiction. E.g Civil versus common law
