Looking for a Few Good Men and Women

Yes, the PRACDL blog is in need of a few members who want to dedicate a little of their time to blogging. I'll give you the basic training, although it is all pretty intuitive. Send me an email. You've got my address. Tom

PRACDL Blog Redesign in Progress

I was tired of the look of the blog, and think it kept me from wanting to post more, so I'm giving this place a makeover. Also keeping me away from blogging more is the fact that I do most of my posting now via the PRACDL Group listserv (members only), where we get much more membership interaction, keeps me busy enough to be only too tempted to stay away from the blog. So maybe I'll get going again with the new look and "entertaining" myself reorganizing all the links, adding some, deleting others, and so on.

Anyhow, come by more often, as I do intend to post new stuff here more regularly.

PRACDL & Federal Public Defender Co-sponsoring Lecture on September 30th from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.

PRACDL and the Federal Public Defender's Office are co-sponsoring a lecture on Wednesday, September 30th from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the FPD's Fourth Floor Lecture Room.

AFPD Victor González-Bothwell will discuss new and proposed legislation, including changes to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Rachel Brill will be discussing the handling of the many mega-cases we are all having to deal with lately. Because Rachel is also a member of PRACDL's committee that regularly meets with the hierarchy of the US Attorney's Office to discuss issues of common interest, she can provide insight into the nature of the agreements reached with the US Attorney's Office. You must know what has been agreed to so that you can insist that these matters be complied with.

If you are interested in attending, please call Ms. Mildred Ward at the Federal Public Defender's Office to sign up. Remember there are space limitations. Attendance is free of cost.
