How to Have Your Small Legal Gripes In Small Claims Court
Advance Notes : You can avoid a court case, especially if the judgment you’ve requested is under $2,500. But your personal monetary outlay might exceed your settlement reward.
Personal or business claims can be filed. You can get your money back for a botched car repair or collect a small ($10 to $1,000) debt from someone who owes you money.
Satisfaction guaranteed: Although monetarily it's often not worth it to bring a case to Small Claims Court – the maximum claim in most states is $2,000 -- most cases are brought on principle – nobody likes to be cheated.
BENEFITS OF SMALL CLAIMS COURT
No lawyers needed. About 90% of such cases can be handled without counsel.
Quick resolution. The hearing is usually held a few weeks after a complaint is filed. The case is heard and settled the same day.
Opponents get a chance to communicate. Many cases involve people who are so angry with each other that they can't talk it out. The court setting encourages rational thinking as well as communication.
Inexpensive. In New Jersey , for instance, filing a case in Small Claims Court costs just $4.86.
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
[] Filing your claim. The forms can be picked up at your courthouse. Or call and have them mailed to you. They are very easy to fill out. After you file, your only other obligation is to show up at the courthouse for the hearing.
[] Before the hearing. The judge will warn you that although you're entitled to your day in court, it's often better to settle without a hearing. Reason: You may get less than you think you deserve...but you may get more than the judge will award you if you win.
The judge will insist that you attempt to settle, whether you wish to or not, and you will be

Web Video …A New Promotion Arm Advance Notes: Are you enjoying the leap? Web video in the last year has taken a tremendous leap forward on the Internet. The statistics show the rise of this innovation.
Web video is here to stay and broadband is the vehicle that is fueling the boom. Just about every size and shape of digital camera that is sold today includes capability to take motion pictures. Depending on the magnitude of the camera, you can record both audio and video, ranging from a four-minute segment to up to fifteen to twenty minutes (and more!). And what can you do with these segments? Advertise…on your own website, on a portal, on YouTube, Skidoo, My Space, and the many more spin-offs that are sure to come along. THE PARADE EFFECT Another feature: Self-promotion. Include a video of yourself, your surroundings; your opinions that you believe are relative to the stock photo industry and to your clients. And why is this important? Everyone loves a parade. We enjoy watching snippets of a parade. They last only a few minutes, and then another section of the parade comes along. It goes along with human nature to be engrossed for a few minutes in people-watching. If that person is you on a web video, you’ve discovered a new form of public relations with your client list. Put the two together and you have helped cement a good working relationship. To give you an example of how this works, you can see a clip of how I placed a short (2 minute) clip on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqZceQi3iSU Web video's rapid growth will continue. In our industry, video will be the most important form of media on the Internet. MOVING FAST You probably remember previous attempts of web video technology. They
