Now all Canadians seeking legal assistance whether it be to find a Personal Injury lawyer, DUI lawyer, Divorce lawyers or any other lawyers for their legal needs can go www.lawyerahead.ca and get the right legal help they need. The company has created a patent pending system that allows users to describe their legal needs on an online form prepared by lawyers, and based on the areas of practice, geographical region, budget, level of experience the consumer desires, Lawyerahead.ca matches the consumer with multiple lawyers for their legal needs. Consumers are then free to chose the lawyer of their liking to represent themselves in their unique legal needs.

In addition, they have created a unique social media network aimed at consumers that do not necessarily understand all the legal aspects of their own legal issue by connecting with others that have had previous experience in their area of law. By connecting with others with similar legal issues, lawyerahead.ca aims to narrow the gap of a consumers' knowledge in the area they are seeking legal assistance in.

School Files Suit Over College Professor/Attorney

Taft Law School Files Suit Over Ballot Designation of League of Women Voters Leader

SANTA ANA, Calif.-- September 03, 2008 --Robert K. Strouse, Dean of Taft Law School, announced today that a lawsuit has been filed challenging the ballot designation of a candidate for the Coast Community College District. Charlotte Pirch, who is president of an Orange County Chapter of the League of Women Voters, listed her profession as "College Professor/Attorney." According to Strouse, on numerous occasions Ms. Pirch has refused to provide any evidence that would support her claim that she is, or ever has been, a college professor.

Strouse commented, "It's disturbing that a leader of the League of Women Voters, an organization that for decades has had a mission of providing accurate information to voters, would engage in such conduct."

Strouse acknowledged that these types of lawsuits are rare and difficult to win. The election code only allows a small window of time to file the case and document facts. "There's a great deal of time pressure and it's costly. But recent Orange County School Board elections have demonstrated that ballot designations matter."

Over the past few election cycles, Taft Law School has identified many questionable ballot designations. Taft Law School takes a non-partisan position. "Local candidates from both major parties have engaged in this type of questionable conduct. A win in this case could deter others who might be tempted to violate the election laws in the future."

In an effort to reduce the cost involved in challenging ballot designations, Taft Law School will provide at no cost to future candidates, copies of its pleadings in this case. Taft Law School is not a law firm and does not represent clients, but making available the pleadings in this case might help reduce costs to future candidates.
