Legal Answers
420 Questions Answered
Q. Can a case law be used in another state, such as in California? If the state law from Mississippi Supreme Court?
A: Mississippi case law cannot be cited in a California case as authority. Where a California case has incorporated the reasoning of the case of another jurisdiction and applied that reasoning to the facts of a California case, which happens occasionally, then that would be different. I would recommend you not use AmJur or Proof of Facts in researching California issues, as those secondary sources are a survey of law across jurisdictions. Use California Witkin or CalJur instead.

Q. I rented a U-Haul.I extended my rental.They reported truck stolen.I was arrested,given a court date.was found Not Guilty
A: It sounds like you were on "found not guilty" but "pleaded not guilty." You need to hire an attorney to fight for you. If you cannot afford an attorney, the court will appoint a public defender to represent you. [I litigate cases.

Q. My son was injured in my home. Landlord had not repaired the broken doors. What can I do?
A: If landlord was aware of the dangerous condition causing injury, you or your son may be entitled to relief against him or her. Also, you may have rights as a tenant regarding repairing and deducting from the rent. You don't want to repair anything however until you've first pursued the injury claim, if any.
