IL Crimlaw Pro and Con

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Pro: Once the cops have satisfied the original purpose of a legitimate traffic stop, any further detention w/o additional PC or reasonable suspicion, is a new seizure and evidence gained by such illegal seizure should be suppressed.

Con: Lying to a cop about your age is a felony!? (See Jeremy’s footnote.)

Whining

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

Random thought while reading 9 REasons Not to Attend Law School”: Lawyers who regret and complain about choosing to become lawyers are a little like addicts complaining about taking their first drink, hit, whatever. Shut up and deal, people.

And yes, I’m talking to myself here.

BTW: I’m still trying to figure out what to do with this blog. Patly because it’s so dormant, I sometimes feel official retirement is the way to go. And then I think, no, it just needs to be changed up. And then I think: Quit distracting yourself from studying for the bar, you idiot!

  • Philadelphia is no longer civilized:

    We deeply regret to inform you that without the necessary budgetary legislation by the State Legislature in Harrisburg, the City of Philadelphia will not have the funds to operate our neighborhood branch libraries, regional libraries, or the Parkway Central Library after October 2, 2009. @ This is not just sad, it's a travesty. How have we come to the point where a major American city is closing all of its public libraries!?
