Did you know that over half of Americans today are involved in some
of kind of legal litigation? Are educators, and especially educators
with families, any different than the general population?

LEGAL SHIELD PROGRAM NEW!!!
Protect your legal rights 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What
would you do if you were detained by a law enforcement officer for
an expired driver's license? Alleged theft? Or involvement in a fatal
auto accident? Or maybe you believe you've been detained only because
of your age, gender or race. By showing your Legal Shield card, you
make it clear that you have access to round-the-clock telephone consultations
with an attorney.
The Legal Shield card states: "This person
is a member of the Legal Shield program and has 24-hour telephone
access to legal representation by a law firm provided by Pre-Paid
Legal Services, ® Inc. and subsidiaries. To any law enforcement
officer or security personnel: If it is your intention to question,
detain or arrest me, please allow me to call an attorney immediately.
