A Clinician’s Guide to Legal Issues in Psychotherapy, Or, Proceed With Caution

This is a must these days, at the drop of a hat a lawsuit is your worst enemy.

It is cruel and unusual punishment, for crimes that could be better handled outside the prison system.

In many ways, we have a dilemma, a catch 22 that could be the downfall of our legal system, it is dangerous, but it is also manifest destiny. It is something that will over whelm and cause great social problems for many years to come.

We have a very large percentage of the population in prison for non violent crimes.

Many of these are in jail for drug dependence issues, this means that in all we have a really serious problem.

We cannot have this many people in jail, because of what amounts to prohibition.

We saw this during the great prohibition, for alcohol, even though now we see the same issues, as they did back there they could not stop it back then and we will not be able to stop it now, you can put everyone in jail, but who will grow your food, who will serve your coffee, who will do the work?

This is the slippery sloop, that everyone always talks about yet, we continue down this abyss.

There is no end in sight, in stead of doing something about this problem, they make it worse, by hiring more people to put more people in jail, where will it end?

Current Legal Issues in Criminal Justice: Readings

Almost everyone at some point in our lives would require the services of a lawyer. For some, the requirement might be as basic as having someone to give legal advice before transferring or buying a property, creating a will or getting a legal opinion before commencing with a business deal. For some unfortunate ones, the requirements are more complex like getting a divorce lawyer, a criminal lawyer or getting the best possible lawyer before proceeding to take legal action against a company or an individual.

Whatever may be the requirement, one thing that almost all of us would unanimously agree is that searching for the right lawyer can be a real pain. In fact for most people just the thought of soliciting the services of a lawyer is enough to give them sleepless nights and most just don’t know where to begin or how to go about contacting various lawyers and choosing the best one for their requirements or unique situation.

If you are one of those individuals as well who just don’t know what to do in order to search for the best lawyers, then welcome to the world of web 2.0. The internet has already changed a lot of things in our lives like the way we communicate, the way we shop, the way we research about a particular subject etc. But now the next wave of internet websites, popularly known as web 2.0, are changing things even further and one of those is how we look at law, understand legal situations and best of all, how we solicit the services of a lawyer.

Legal networking sites have made the general public much more comfortable with all aspect of the law and made them realize the law is there to help them and is nothing to be scared of. One of the great features of these sites is normal users can register for free and post their problems or grievances and not only can they get advice from fellow users, they can get accurate legal advice from real lawyers who are registered users of these websites. You can even have lawyers who specialize in the field in which you have a problem contacting you and offering their services.

You can find lawyers of absolutely any specialization in these sites from personal injury lawyers to divorce lawyers, criminal lawyers, business lawyers, lawyers specializing in real estate, insurance, immigration, employment etc. The list is absolutely endless and you can not only have lawyers contact you, but the websites actually list the lawyer’s entire details like their specialization, distance from your postal code to their office and their exact location. Apart from this, any user can access the lawyer’s entire profile which has detailed information on their practice, experience and traditional resume.

Never before has interacting with a lawyer of your choice been so easy. Even those who have never interacted with a lawyer before are finding it really simple to now get expert legal advice and judging by the growth of these legal networking sites, it can be clearly seen how comfortable everyone has become with legal issues using web 2.0.

People got hurt, this is what happens when you do not plan ahead, and you can see the results.
