Blog about New Additions and other important topics related to criminal law in the United States.
www.findacriminaldefenseattorney.comHere are some recent, criminal-defense–relevant items that have been in the news (and in major defense-bar and legal news sources). Since you didn’t specify a state, firm, or specific attorney, I’m sharing broader updates about the criminal defense space:
National / industry updates
- Defense bar seeks transparency on federal charging/sentencing policy. The ACLU and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) filed a FOIA lawsuit seeking records about DOJ implementation of memoranda that set new charging and sentencing practices for federal prosecutors.[1]
Criminal-defense related legal news (examples)
- High-profile defense attorney changes in an upcoming trial. Law firm coverage (via a legal news outlet) reported Harvey Weinstein tapped new counsel for his “third rape trial,” replacing part of his prior defense team.[6]
- Disputes involving defense/prosecution conduct. Local reporting pages aggregating “defense attorney” news describe cases where defense attorneys raise issues about investigative/prosecutorial handling and where lawyers are themselves implicated for alleged mishandling.[4]
Criminal defense blog / directory-style updates
- Some criminal-defense directories and blogs publish updates like new attorney additions to their listings (not necessarily “breaking legal rulings,” but often the most frequently updated items on those sites).[2][5]
Quick question (so I can get truly “latest” news)
Do you mean:
1) A specific attorney (name),
2) Your local area (e.g., New Jersey / Piscataway), or
3) General criminal defense news (lawsuits, big court rulings, policy changes)?
Reply with the name (or “NJ” and any keyword like DUI, federal, weapons, immigration, sex crimes, etc.), and I’ll narrow to the most relevant and newest items.
