Criminal Lawyers

Welcome to criminallawyers.org. This blog is devoted to discussions about all kinds of issues in criminal law. Mostly we will follow criminal law news and comment on current events, trends and developments in criminal law, procedure and jurisprudence.

This is an open blog, meaning that if you are a criminal defense lawyer and would like to have a voice here, all you have to do is ask and we will set you up with an authorship account.

The more the public is educated about criminal law and the justice system, the better able criminal defense lawyers and prosecutors will be to do their jobs. There is nothing worse in this system than a player, be it a judge, prosecutor, defense lawyer or juror, who does not understand his or her role.

We intend to do our small part in helping to lift the fog of ignorance that has enveloped much of the nation's population about important constitutional rights.

We intend to have "mini lessons" on criminal law and procedure. We are probably being overly ambitious when we say we will do them every day, but we hope to get at least two or three good tidbits out each week.

If you know of a good criminal law story, please let us know so that we can follow it.
