STUFF AND SURVIVOR POOL

We don't understand this. Don't you just electronically file a motion. And what's a "JAC motion?" 

And the best part of the training is many of the observant Jewish lawyers are free that day because it's a holiday that they do not work on. Well done JAC (or whomever)!




"Objection Judge! We filed a JAC motion and the court granted it in part, and the testimony about the hidden fruit in the valise is clearly covered." 

MENTORS: We also do not understand this. Is it substance over style? Or vice-a-versa?  How do you moderate mentors? What in the Sam Hill is this? BUT, and this is a big BUT...."Coffee AND dessert will be served" so count us IN.  



SURVIVOR POOL
Hop in. The water is warm (global warming and all).  How hard can it be? Just pick one winner every week, no spread. Colts over Chiefs? You got it. Once you use a team, you cannot use them for the rest of the year. 

Email us Howardroark21@gmail.com to sign up. 
Big cash prizes (not). Admiration of the legal and football community (yes).

Every judge has done this their own way and their is zero consistency.

Also, when you are privately retained/RCA/PD you can go ahead and get your experts on your own. You don't need court approval. If you are PCAC they need to be approved by the Court. However, once the motions/orders are filed the SAO has total access to see your possible strategy. This policy will help alleviate this issue.

The little flyer says what it is. So while the flyer is clear, your humor is not.

The trialmaster is having a juvenile sentencing review hearing. He is getting up to speed on the JAC and PCAC issues. Its a different world with dealing with the few experts in this field.

You might think it would be easier to surrender a client to arrest. Happens all the time when someone calls me, says "they're looking for me" or "police came by my mother's house", but has no idea which police.

After figuring out the Miami-Dade / City of Miami jurisdictional issues, which involves about an hour at the county appraisers office looking at old maps, I call the correct police department and -- armed with an incident date, an incident location, and a vague description of what type of crime -- usually get jack squat.

Best case scenario, a detective's voicemail that leads nowhere.

You'd think a lawyer gift-wrapping an arrest, closing out a warrant, without the cop so much as having to stand up from his desk would interest the police department more. He gets his arrest and doesnt have to drive around the county and risk his hide banging on doors with no idea who is behind them. No cops get shot executing warrants when we bring the guy in. No one gets stuck with needles, either. We get a client who goes in on a date of his choosing, without kids in the car, without a boss needing to know, with a bondsman at the ready, and of course without making dumb statements.

But making this happen apparently goes against everything the MDPD and MPD stand for. Got a guy with a probable warrant? Hey leave a message at the front desk and they'll get back to you never.
