Paralegal - help me understand what a "paralegal business" is, exactly. My understanding is that paralegals assist attorneys in casework, preparation, etc. What activities/services would you be offering from your office?

Sorry to be naive, but why WOULDN'T the CC order a full EIR, if the downside is the city getting caught with its pants down and being liable to cost overruns and lawsuits?

Sorry, CityBiz...can you elaborate? I'm not able to watch CC meetings at home, so I'm not as up to speed with regard to this as I'd like to be. What are the differences between the two and impacts of either?
Do you have an opinion on what the City should do?

Anyone know the details behind the tunnel being dug under the RR crossing on American Canyon road, just east of 29? I read this was being done, and I see it going on, but it's not clear at all to me exactly why it's happening...

Wal-Mart announced in 2002 that they wanted to build 40 new Supercenters (specifically supercenters) in California over the following 4 to 6 years. Three years later, however, they still only have about 3 supercenters in the Golden State...compared to 1,700 nationwide. So Cali represents the largest...
