Oxford Eagle on Blogging and the Mississippi Criminal Defense Law Blog
Yesterday the Oxford Eagle published an article discussing blogs and blogging, including the Mississippi Criminal Defense Law Blog. The article can be found here. It includes the following quote from me about publishing this blog:
"The information exchange with other bloggers helps me stay current with national trends in criminal law,” [I] said. “ I want to provide a forum for discussion of those issues. Second, I understand that many people find the criminal justice system mysterious — they don’t know how the system works and don’t know what to expect when they or a friend are charged with a crime. I believe that lawyers should work to make the legal process as transparent and accessible as possible, and I believe I am doing my part by publishing the blog."That pretty much sums up why I'm spending time here each day. I hope you readers are finding the posts to be interesting and informative. One important note about the blog that I mentioned to Alyssa but that didn't make the story: the information found here is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer, but I hope readers gain a better understanding of the law and the processes of the criminal justice system. Thanks again to Alyssa for the story.
