Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Without knowing which questions were yours, I can't say why I didn't answer much less suggest any reasons other attorneys have not answered. You need to bear in mind, however, that we are all volunteer attorneys who answer these questions as a pro bono public service. Our time is what we have to sell to make a living. So when we donate it, we do so in ways that we think are beneficial. If we choose not to answer a question, we are not being jerks. If anything, you are a jerk for expecting us to give you our time whether we find it worthwhile or not.

As for responding by saying we are not going to answer, that takes your question off the active list. Although it is still available for additional answers, if we all chime in saying we decline to answer, it makes it much more likely that some other attorney who might have answered it will not see it, because they would have to actively seek out the answer from the list of questions that already have at least one answer.
