SV 260 California Courts State of California Courts Ca 2012-2023

Generally, a company (startup or otherwise) that is preparing an agreement (NDA or otherwise) prefers to specify its own headquarters state for jurisdiction and venue, as well as choice of law.If the counterparty is headquartered in another state, then the counterparty likely will prefer that its state be specified for jurisdiction, venue and choice of law.If the parties favor different states, then the party with greater bargaining power (often, the larger company) is likely to prevail.If the company resides outside the U.S. (I just looked at the OP’s bio), then the situation is more complicated, and there are multiple possible approaches (I assume that the counterparty is in the U.S., and that the company realizes that no U.S. counterparty likely will agree to jurisdiction, venue and choice of law outside the U.S.). For example:Let the U.S. counterparty specify its preferred state.Specify New York because its commercial law is respected throughout the U.S. However, this may not be a great choice because (a) an NDA is not really a commercial contract and (b) New York courts may refuse to hear a case if the underlying transaction does not actually involve a presence in New York.Bottom line: This is the type of question that one should pose to an experienced business lawyer, who can weigh all relevant considerations, rather than to Quorans who know nothing about the relevant company and its business.

As a UC gradute student I was told that the following steps would establish residency: Open a bank account at a local branch with my CA address as contact info, and if possible, change or cancel other accountsRegister to vote in CaliforniaGet a CA drivers license.I did the first two within a week of arriving, and delayed getting a drivers license until February because I did not drive a car. I was able to be approved as a CA resident after the first year. (I think you are asking for undergraduates, so this may not be pertinent  to you specifically, but it also answers the question)

It should not take more than an hour. I strongly suggest you complete it with a college counselor so you are taking the correct courses.The TAG agreement is a wonderful partnership between CA community colleges and the UC system, so take advantage of this service.

I will disagree a little bit with Matthew Olmedo on the housing cost in the bay area. The bay area is a nice place in terms of weather but the commute and housing prices are awful and the extra salary you get here is not going to make up for the fact that the cheapest, smallest house in a reasonable location is at least a million dollars now.In terms of relocating somewhere else, just apply for jobs in that area as anybody else would. Most companies will pay for you to fly out and interview if they find you to be an attractive enough candidate. Or visit the area on your own dime and fill your time up with multiple interviews.

There are a couple of different areas to consider here:Difficulty of which UC campuses you're applying toHow hard it is to get into a UC varies based on the specific UC itself. UC Berkeley and UCLA, being the two most prestigious UCs currently, have the highest application rates, and so are the hardest to gain acceptance to.On this website, we can actually see the data for the admitted freshman of each UC: Campuses | UC AdmissionsTo summarize some of the data for 2013:Berkeley – average admitted SAT: 2080, GPA: 4.18/4 (weighted)LA – average admitted SAT: 2050, GPA: 4.15/4 (weighted)San Diego – average admitted SAT: 1990, GPA: 4.11/4 (weighted)Santa Barbara – average admitted SAT: 1910, GPA: 4.01/4 (weighted)Santa Cruz – average admitted SAT: 1793, GPA: 3.84/4 (weighted)Merced – average admitted SAT: 1630, GPA: 3.59/4 (weighted)Difference of requirements for in-state vs out-of-stateAs for whether or not you are an in-state student vs an out-of-state student, the requirements are largely the same. (Source: Out-of-state students)The one main difference is:You must earn a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.4 or better in the 15 college-preparatory courses (a-g courses), with no grade lower than a C.However, if you have grades lower than that anyways, getting into a UC straight after high school would be pretty difficult. In that case, it would likely be better to try to transfer in from a different school or a community college (ideally one from California that has a defined track towards transferring to a UC).Favor towards in-state (or now out-of-state?) studentsOn the page I cited, it specifically states:As a public institution, we prioritize admission for California residents. However, all of our campuses offer admission to out-of-state students. However, there are articles like this (UC System Rejects California Residents in Favor of International Students) that suggests, given California's budget crisis and continual cutting of funding to the UC system, the UC will be accepting more and more out-of-state students.It's also hard to know how much of a difference this really makes. Looking at the data UC Berkeley published here: Student Profile | UC Berkeley Office of Undergraduate Admissions, we see that they actually accepted more out-of-state students than in-state this past year (19.3% out-of-state admission rate vs 18.9% in-state: though this could also be a result of an on average higher caliber out-of-state student applying, but less of them).Application materials consideredUC also doesn't accept any letters of recommendation, so they focus more on grades/SAT than other schools tend to do. Do your best to highlight your other accomplishments in your person statement, but be aware that you won't have letters of recommendation that discuss these accomplishments further.So, really, unless I were to be the actual admissions officer reading your application, it's impossible to say whether you'll get in or not. The numbers I listed above are of course the averages, so many people get in with scores below those (as do people with scores above them). Beyond that, college admissions can so often be a lottery, so just do your best to prepare as well as you can, and hope for the best.

A2A (Asked to answer): Thank you!If you are interested in speeding up the resolution of a bsignNow of contract which has resulted in financial damages to you, and the other party will not consider settlement discussions, I would submit that this is a perfect case for arbitration.Arbitration provides speed, and confidentiality, in determining the outcome. The arbitrator’s ruling has the full force of a judicial decision. Further, there are mechanisms in place which require the losing party to comply with the arbitrator’s decision, in just the same manner that the losing party would be compelled to comply with a judge’s decision. So, same enforceability.In this case, the other party has every incentive to drag out the proceedings, since it is the one who owes the money. However, the complete confidentially afforded to both of you when choosing to arbitrate, thereby sparing the person in financial bsignNow from having a Google-able public record of their failure to pay, may be sufficient incentive to persuade him/her to agree to arbitrate.In seeking the agreement of the other party to resolve this matter through arbitration, opposing counsel (not yours) may become your best friend; most attorneys prefer to take on a case, complete it, get paid, and move on to the next. No one benefits from cases that drag on and on while one waits for a court date, as justice delayed is justice denied.Ask your attorney to propose to opposing counsel that you folks arbitrate your case. You may make two lawyers (and both parties) very happy!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Disclaimer: The foregoing must not be construed as a legal opinion, or as legal representation, as it is neither.
