Attorney; Career Defender. The right to counsel is the difference between justice and mob justice. No legal advice / solicitations here. Opinions are mine only.

I hope he is successful.

[Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov]

I don’t know how we can call ourselves pro-life if we sanction the state ending the lives our citizens. It doesn’t deter crime; it isn’t necessary for public safety; and it is wholly inconsistent with Louisiana’s pro-life values #lagov

Interesting ? at SCOTUS Monday - Whether a communication involving both legal and non-legal advice is protected by attorney-client privilege where obtaining or providing legal advice was one of the significant
purposes behind the communication. Briefs at https://t.co/wowwbbvEPI

@bmorelegal1 In my experience, the clinic directors and professors at UNH Law make a concerted effort to connect students with trial attorneys through externships and other programs.

[Richard Guerriero @nhdefender]

@bmorelegal1 Not true everywhere. Our fall intern from UNH Law co-counseled a jury trial with my partner from voir dire to verdict, under our court rules and the UNH Webster Scholar program. A million years ago, when I was at LSU Law, I was at counsel table for 2 jury trials b/f I graduated.

There are exceptions. Our federal court provides ID cards which get us through security quickly. In Cheshire County (Keene) the County Attorney is not in the same building as the courts.

[Richard Guerriero @nhdefender]

I have never been comfortable with County Attorneys being the same building as (some) Superior Courts. Now we are going put the AG in the same building as the Admin Office of the Courts? Not a great look. Reinforces a common perception, accurate or not. https://t.co/ZhvtI8N7X4

[Richard Guerriero @nhdefender]

This goes along with defense attorneys having to pass through security checks at every court, even if they have been there 1000s of times, but prosecutors walking right through with only a "good morning."

CA3 says Bruen does not invalidate laws like 922(g)(1) which prohibit felons from possessing firearms. https://t.co/ZK0eaFCjtG

[Richard Guerriero @nhdefender]

The more difficult the case, the more important it is to provide counsel for the accused and ensure that the trial process operates fairly. Ted is doing exactly that and a great job representing our client. https://t.co/7a9ejLUB3M via @UnionLeader

@gregalbert The issue is pending in at least one federal case in NH now.

Fed Judge from MS, Carlton Reeves, known for his brilliant order on qualified immunity, is considering appointing a historian to look at 2A history and the Bruen issue re 922(g)(1).
