Dhs Follows 'boston Legal' Episode With Redress Inquiry Program

BALTIMORE, January 17, 2007 -- One day after a Boston Legal (ABC) episode took on the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) No-Fly List administration process, the agency announced today it will launch the DHS Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP), an easy to use, single point of inquiry for travel-related issues.

DHS TRIP was developed to provide a central gateway to address watch list misidentification issues, situations where individuals believe they have faced screening problems at immigration points of entry, or have been unfairly or incorrectly delayed, denied boarding or identified for additional screening at our nation’s transportation hubs.

“A year ago today, Secretary Rice and I pledged to take significant steps to renew the United States’ reputation as a welcoming nation to legitimate travelers while still securing our country from those who want to do us harm,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff. “DHS TRIP will offer the legitimate traveler a clearly-defined process through which to report travel-related discrepancies thus improving the traveler experience overall. Ensuring that personal information is accurate and complete allows us to focus fewer resources on legitimate travelers and more resources on national security and law enforcement issues.”

Coincidently, the DHS announcement followed Monday night's Boston Legal episode where character Denny Crane was dismayed to learn his name is on the federal No-Fly List. Crane enlisted character Alan Shore's help in taking on Homeland Security and the arduous process of clearing his name from the list.

How much does a normal senior partner make in a major law firm?

In boston legal: alan shore and denny crane have bet 50,000 or 100,000 dollars and just write a check. obviously it is a movie, but im just curious about how much the average senior partner makes in a major law firm (like alan shore/ james spader)

This answer is going to depend on the share of partnership the person owns and the fees collected for services at the firm. In a large firm like Crane, Pool, and Schmidt (or whatever it's called), the founding partners would share profits on all fees. Fees are typically based on a percentage of the winnings on the cases their firm tries. If a successful firm tries and wins multiple multi-million dollar cases each year, then the payoff to the owners (or the senior partners) can be huge. As many such cases as Denny Crane's firm seems to win on the TV show, the annual income of these attorneys would literally be in the millions (or tens of millions). For a really successful firm, this kind of income is not unrealistic, but most firms have a hard time growing to such a level.

Hope this helps.

It was a busy night for Woodland Park City Council as they discussed legal options in executive session on a proposed settlement from Black Hills Energy, spent an hour in a sign ordinance workshop and discussed the Y-Yes citizen initiated ordinance and other agenda.
