	Right - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In most views of law, it is not generally considered necessary that a right should be understood by a holder of that right, thus rights may be agreed on behalf of another, such as children's rights or the rights of people declared mentally incompetent to understand their rights.
		The specific enumeration of rights accorded to citizens has historically differed greatly from one century to the next, and from one regime to the next, but nowadays is normally addressed by the constitutions of the respective nations.
		Rights can be divided into individual rights, that are held by citizens as individuals (or corporations) recognised by the legal system, and collective rights, held by an ensemble of citizens or a subgroup of citizens who have a certain characteristic in common.

	NCLR - Legal Recognition of LGBT Families
		One of the areas in which the lack of legal relationship to a child has the most acute repercussions is when the non-legal parent severs his or her relationship with the legal parent of the child.
		Courts addressing this situation have concluded that the birth mother is a legal parent because she gestated and gave birth to the child, and the woman who donated the ovum is a legal parent because she is the child's genetic parent.
		The agreement should specify that although only one of the parents is the legal parent, both parents consider themselves to be the parents of their child, with all of the legal rights and responsibilities that come with that position.

	Legal Definition of Right
		Right is the correlative of duty, for, wherever one has a right due to him, some other must owe him a duty.
		When the things which we have a right to possess or the actions we have a right to do, are or may be fixed and determinate, the right is a perfect one; but when the thing or the actions are vague and indeterminate, the right is an imperfect one.
		Rights might with propriety be also divided into natural and civil rights but as all the rights which man has received from nature have been modified and acquired anew from the civil law, it is more proper, when considering their object, to divide them into political and civil rights.

	Legal Rights
		The question is primarily one for legal historians and will not be pursued here, but it may be remarked that it may still be legitimate when describing those systems to talk of rights in the modern sense, since Roman law, for example, clearly achieved many of the same results as contemporary systems.
		For example, a legal system could create a criminal offence of harassment in order to protect a moral right to privacy, without thereby necessarily recognising a legal right to privacy, i.e., something which would act as a positive reason in favour of privacy in interpreting unclear rules, or in developing the law.
		The first is as to whether property rights, and hence the concept of property, are essentially legal in their nature, or whether they are more general social phenomena which are simply recognised and protected by law in all modern societies.

	Prisoners' Dilemma - How the administration is obstructing the Supreme Court's terror decisions. By Phillip Carter
		When the Supreme Court stepped in last June with the last word on the legality of such wartime practices, observers (including me) had a right to hope that the administration would cease its foot-dragging and finally conform its policies to the demands of the justices and the rule of law.
		Although these events concern different legal issue and different sets of detainees, they share a common denominator: a legal strategy to keep the rule of law out of the war on terrorism by whatever procedural, legal, or administrative means are available.
		The essence of the legal strategy is to litigate every single procedural and technical issue to the full extent of the law, using the vast resources of the Justice Department to delay judicial action as long as possible.

	Bicycle Right to the Road Cases (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Selz was required under the law to ride "as near to the right side of the roadway as practicable." Considering the condition of this road, especially the width of the traffic lane, we conclude that riding any closer to the right edge of the roadway would not be safe and is therefore not practicable.
		The justices had no business discussing their view of any perceived violation of §4511.55(A) (the "far right rule") because Steve Selz was not charged with such a violation, the case was not tried on this issue and the judge did not use the "far right as practicable" language in convicting him.
		When Allen politely refused to leave the road, and indicated he was within his legal rights, he was issued citations for riding a bicycle in an area not set aside for such use, and for disobeying the order of an officer.
