I checked online today to pay for my ticket (of $120), and I found this terms: JUDGMENT OF CONVICTION - EXPARTE, FINES AND COSTS ASSESSED,FINES AND COSTS ASSESSMENT and FAILURE TO PAY. I don't understand them. Can I get arrested for this? I don't live at the same address and I'm not sure If got a letter from the court.

Your local city court will send you a letter in the mail giving you a certain fee amount. You get charged 2 fees for missing your court date (the major fee) and for braking the rules. I did the same thing but blowing a traffic light; forgot to go to court, I just got a letter 8 months later charging me fees. My charges totaled to be: $967.81 I almost cried... I'm a grown man.. Haha Good luck!

Order of Ex Parte Judgment.. If a person ignores a ticket or fails to appear in court on any court date scheduled, the judge may enter an ex parte judgment of conviction and assess a fine against that person in the amount set by the Illinois Supreme Court. The conviction will be reported to the Illinois Secretary of State for entry on that person's driving record. The Clerk of the Circuit Court will send that person a notice for the fine. If the fine is not paid within 46 days, the Illinois Secretary of State will be notified and the person will not be allowed to renew, replace or re-classify his or her driver's license until the fine is paid. Ex parte judgments can be vacated by filing a motion in writing with the Clerk of the Circuit Court and by paying a non-refundable $45.00 fee. Persons filing motions should be aware of the following: If the motion is filed more than 30 days but less than two years after the date of the ex parte judgment, relief will be granted only if the defendant can show due diligence and a meritorious defense. If the motion is filed more than two years since the date of the judgment, relief can only be granted on proof the ticket was issued to someone other than the defendant. Order of Failure to Appear If a person has posted a valid Illinois driver's license in lieu of bail and fails to appear in court, the judge may enter an order of failure to appear. The case is automatically continued to the next scheduled court date and that person is notified. If a person fails to appear on this second court date, a second order of failure to appear will be entered. The Clerk of the Circuit Court will notify the Illinois Secretary of State of that person's failure to come to court. The Illinois Secretary of State will suspend that person's driving privileges until an appearance in court is made and the case is resolved. If that person drives during the time of the suspension, he or she is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. Orders of failure to appear resulting in license suspensions can be vacated by filing a motion to vacate with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. A $50.00 non-refundable fee for such a motion is required. http://www.cookcountycourt.org/traffic_court/traffic_ticket/appear.html#exparte

Yeah, you could be arrested if you continue to ignore it, but not until you get pulled over for something else. You've got like 45 days after the court date to pay it or they will suspend your driving privilege in IL. If they suspend your driving privilege in IL they will contact the state that you are licensed in and ask them to suspend your license. It's totally up to the state you are licensed in whether your license gets suspended or not. Just pay the ticket ASAP.

Degree subjects in the USA?
Degree subjects in the USA?
I´m a university student from Argentina, and I have noticed that some people in my country often do a second degree after their first one in only two years , as the second degree is related to the first one and they don´t have to sit for certain subjects because they have already done so in their first degree. For example, if you study Law you can, once you´ve finished your degree , study to be a public translator in a foreign language and you just focus on the linguistic part of the degree and are exempted from the Law subjects, since you already studied them in your Law degree. When two degrees have the same subject, we call them "correlative subjects". E g :" European History is a correlative subject in Sociology and Literature" ...is it the same in the States? Do you also call them "correlative " subjects?

We don't call them "correlative subjects" in the US, but it is possible, after completing a bachelors degree in the US, to get a second bachelors in another subject - be it in a related subject or not. In the US, bachelors degrees take four years to complete. If you got your bachelors, and went back for a second bachelors, the second bachelors would only take you two years or less, because you'd have already completed a lot of your "non-major" general requirements (math, English, history, etc.) as part of your first degree. In your second bachelors, you'd only focus on your major subjects.
2 :
Not really. We have the term "cognate discipline" to mean a related subject, e.g. history and political science. But there is very little tradition of taking a second undergraduate degree. Regulations from university to university would differ widely. In the worst case you would have to start over entirely. At best you would receive maybe up to half credit, i.e. the first two years of a four year degree. Or you might be able to get credit for some introductory-level requirements.

Had one from Russia. Wasn't the best experience but It was a learning experience for me and my family.
2 :
That's so cool. When I was in secondary school my own family hosted exchange students. The first one came from Finland, after that we got a girl from Kenya. I tremendously enjoyed having a sister from another country and it inspired me to go on an exchange myself: I spent a year in Finland with a Finnish host family. Exchange programs promote friendship and understanding between people from different countries and cultures. I wish you good luck and lots of fun with your German exchange student!

My family once had a 17-year-old American girl. We still keep in touch and Ive visited her in America.
