CONTRACT LAW
A contract is a legally enforceable agreement between two parties. Each party within a contract promises to perform a certain duty or service, or pay a certain amount of money to someone. If one party member or group fails to act as promised, and the other party has fulfilled their own duties under the contract, the wronged party is then entitled to legal aide for a breach of contract. A breach of contract is a failure to fulfill the services or monies promised within the contract terms. A contract can be breached in the following ways: One party does not perform a duty or service as they promisedOne party breaches a “fundamental term” of the contractOne party does something that makes it impossible for the other party to perform their own services under the contractOne party makes it clear that they do not intend to perform the contract services, thereby permitting the other party to engage in an anticipatory breach Both written and oral contracts are legally enforceable. It is best practice to write down the terms of any contract agreement, in case some dispute between the parties should arise, after agreeing to a contract. If the contract is an oral agreement, the parties of the contract might later remember different details about the contract terms, or forget certain terms altogether, which will make it more difficult to prove the validity of the contract.

U.S. IMMIGRATION LAW
There are four basic paths for obtaining lawful permanent residence in the United States: Through a family relationshipThrough employment sponsorshipThrough the diversity programThrough asylum Lawful permanent residents are non-U.S. citizens who have authorization to work and live in the United States indefinitely. They can serve in the U.S. military, but they may not vote. They have to follow certain rules to maintain their status, both when traveling abroad, and while staying outside of the U.S. for extended periods of time. They may lose their status if they commit crimes. Obtaining permanent residence is usually a lengthy and complex process, and requires a careful analysis of an individual’s circumstances. U.S. Citizenship A person who has remained a lawful permanent resident in the U.S. for five years (or sometimes three years), and has been physically present in the U.S. for half of that time can qualify for U.S. citizenship. A person who is married to and residing with a U.S. citizen can typically apply for U.S. citizenship after three years.
