Guy Ritchie has officially joined the ranks of many: He and Madonna are now history, and reportedly, he is ready to party.
According to The Evening Standard, Ritchie took his divorce lawyer, Helen Ward, out to dinner to celebrate the end of his marriage to the pop star. The divorce was finalized in London on March 27 and approved by a divorce court in the U.S. as well.
Madonna has moved to New York, where the couple’s two children will live with her. Ritchie will have a regular child visitation schedule.
Ritchie snagged the former couple’s country estate in Wiltshire and a reported $24 to $31 million fortune in the divorce settlement. There was little drama in the negotiations while the couple settled up privately.
As Ritchie celebrated, Madonna reportedly returned to Malawi to adopt another child. She has applied to adopt 4-year old Mercy James, who she hopes to bring back to the U.S. shortly.

The semifinal round of this spring’s Jenkins Moot Court Competition took place last night. As previously described, sixteen top students from the Appellate Writing and Advocacy Class were invited to compete in the Jenkins Competition, in teams of two.

Legal liability is often used as a weapon to guard off the timid or defend the brave. However, many staff and faculty involved in study abroad programs do not have a notion of what legal liability is and how it should guide the design and maintenance of every study abroad program.
The following article is a layman’s introduction to complicated legal principles and precedence related to the administration of study abroad programs. Clearly, it is necessary to deliver a disclaimer… the information herein is not intended to substitute for competent legal representation. The following description of legal liability is for informational purposes only. The concepts discussed here can be helpful in guiding questions for your institutional and personal legal counsel.
Liability as a legal doctrine makes a person responsible for the damage and loss caused by his/her acts and omissions regardless of culpability (culpability is a measure of the degree to which a person can be held morally or legally responsible). However, for breach of ... Read more..
Sridhar asked:
People don't often want to go and see a lawyer. It is usually only because something has gone wrong that people are compelled to seek legal advice. Sometimes the problems can strike at the very heart of your life before hand - for example when involved in the break up of a relationship or being at risk from losing your home. People therefore often need to see a lawyer at times when they are at their most vulnerable. They may be disappointed, disillusioned, angry and upset. They may not even know how to react to the situation at all.
At such times, it is important to be confident that if you do turn to a law firm for legal advice, that you receive the most comprehensive legal advice from the most highly skilled practitioners available at a cost that does not simply add to your problems. This is where Duncan Lewis & Co can help.
