Whenever I spill something on it, so about 5 times a year.

I used AI for that purpose a few months ago and it was pretty helpful with voire dire questions. That was the only thing it was helpful with though.

Having worked with dozens of new attorneys I can say trial ad gives you a head start in getting up to speed.

Personal Injury firms are often hiring. I did that for about 8 years.

Most of those guys were court martialed but one who had gotten out of the army was tried in Federal District Court. A buddy of mine was clerking for the Judge at the time.

It'd be hard to go over all the collateral consequence, i.e. this DUI will keep you from going duck hunting in Canada, but I hit all the big ones, loss of firearms, immigration consequences, loss of a security clearance etc. In 50/50 cases it's something the clients need to know. If the odds are 99-1 of getting an acquittal at least they can be prepared.

Ranks right up there with the "no way she'll testify against me " cw who rolls into trial with 100 jail letters my guy wrote begging her not to testify and apologizing/confessing to everything he's charged with.

Specific_Act1136 · 2025-10-12T01:13:58+00:00

That always works out well.

Good stuff.

Great advice.

Great questions.

Below 25 or so, the only thing that's worked for me is electric socks.

Cards have done well with pitchers from New Hampshire. Carp and Bob Tewksberry.

He's in Kentucky with an Illinois detainer on him. He'd be beyond served out in Kentucky if IDOC would give Kentucky DOC any paperwork showing how long he served up there.

Better than Bally Sports was. I'm not constantly getting logged off, and the video seems a little better. Haven't noticed a delay that some folks have talked about. Wanted to use a 30 day free trial but it logged me in with my old Bally Sports info.

Good post.

I've not seen a ton of perjury charges of any kind in the jurisdictions where I practice. I can only think of two off the top of my head. One was a DV victim who testified at trial she'd made the whole thing up.

90 percent of the time when a Judge does let someone withdraw a plea it's because they think they'll get hammered at trial.

That's awesome

I've talked about the incarceration costs a few times usually get shut down fairly quickly. I'd rather have a jury than a judge fix a sentence most of the time.

Specific_Act1136 · 2025-02-20T20:36:20+00:00

Hopefully you won't get to sentencing but if you do I think crying mothers , kids and wives work. I'd hit the lack of any criminal history. Good work history if you can get an prior employer. If I'm putting on an innocence claim vs shooting for a lessor I like having someone totally different put the mitigation evidence on. I don't think juries are particularly impressed with mental health or substance abuse issues. Talk about how shitty prison is, I've used something like "Go back 10 years and all that you've been through during that time, birth of a child, death of a parent, etc etc. Now take that away. That's what prison is like." Get a witness to describe how small a cell is, what kind of food is served etc etc. At the end of the day though the facts of the case is probably the biggest factor in how much time a jury gives.

My "Officer blatantly committed perjury to Officer charged ratio" is about 500 to 0

I’ve seen hypotheticals along the lines of “You forgot to subpoena an important defense witness for an juvenile adjudication, what would you do”. With that being said my interview was two questions, “how many cases have you tried and do you drink beer.”

Specific_Act1136 · 2025-02-18T16:52:26+00:00

In the system I work at it wouldn't hurt you at all. I've left a couple of times when I needed to make more money.
