Many legal professionals are exposed to Finite Element Analysis
(FEA) in the courtroom. Having a fundamental understanding of
how the method works can help an attorney (i) recognize when FEA
can strengthen a case, (ii) choose a capable expert and (iii)
develop meaningful challenges to the opposition's expert. As
discussed in the last issue of Courtroom FEA, if a loss, injury
or death is due to something bending or breaking, FEA can help
identify the cause of failure and hence the responsible party.
But how does it work?
Divide and conquer.
But first, let's back up and discuss what is being conquered.
FEA is applied to many types of problems, such

Got A Speeding Ticket? Review The 'Crime' Scene Before Going To Court
If you are issued a ticket for speeding, it is important to take a few note at the time so that you can remember the details better. However going back to the place where you were issued your ticket has several valuable purposes. Often when you are given a ticket your are a little flustered or angry, so going back can help you remember some extra details that you forgot to write down on the day that the ticket was issued. It will also give you a chance to look at the situation and the scene in a bit more detail.
If you find that there are some details that might influence the decision of the court at the scene, you'll need to prepare documentation to prove them for the trial. The best evidence to present at the trial about the scene would be a large diagram that shows everything that's relevant to your case. You should be sure to include the following (as best you can)
1) all the roads, with the markings on the roads and their widths
2) all traffic signals that includes signs or lights.
3) where your vehicle and the officers vehicle stopped when you were pulled over.
4) also try to include the locations after you both stopped.
5) include any structures in the area (walls, buildings, brush, shrubs, trees and anything else that might have caused a distraction - billboards, advertising banners, street signs.
6) It is often useful to take pictures from the drivers view point to show anything which may have caused you to miss a speed sign.
Your diagram should be big enough to be easily viewed by anyone in the courtroom. Keep it at a minimum of 8 x 10 and get bigger if you can a piece of poster board is ideal. Be sure to bring these reference materials to court if they will have a direct bearing on your case. If what you have on your diagram is basically what is described on your ticket, you probably won't want to bring it in because it will help the Prosecutor. However, and this is key, if you have found some serious contributing factor, bring in that information. And then don't show this information until the trial when you or your lawyer introduce them as evidence for the defense.

President Bush's selection of the Hon. John Roberts is an interesting choice. The betting, and there had been betting, was on a minority or female candidate. Instead, President Bush swings for the fences with a middle-aged, white male. Let the ugliness begin. CompetencyRegardless of your political views, Roberts' intellectual competency cannot be questioned. This man was a very competent lawyer and is a thoughtful judge. As an advocate, his arguments before the Supreme Court were always creative and thorough. As a judge, his written opinions reveal sound analytical skills and logical interpretations of the facts at hand. The current court
