Failing while I'm trying this case hardly poses the same consequences as screwing up a surgery. $500 fine if I lose. I just want to see exactly what all evidence they have and then make a decision about changing my plea and trying to get the fine reduced, or going ahead with the case and perhaps getting a lawyer.
Well, I think you're getting into some problem areas by asking people on a BBS what to include in a discovery request. For one thing, people who aren't attorneys aren't allowed to give legal advice. If nothing else, there should be a public defender to help, you'd think. Possibly a legal aid group.
spoken like a true lawyer!! COME WORK WITH ME! It would get you in Houston and we'd have a blast. I can't pay you right now, but it would be awesome anyway! whitemagic -- you can get yourself into more trouble than you know with discovery or lack of response thereto.
I think that only applies to people giving advice in the course of their duties at work....like a court clerk. Granted....most of us are probably posting from work. I doubt there's a law that prohibits a non-attorney from giving legal advice to their buddies. Of course, there's a common sense law about giving too much credence to said advice.
Yeah, I don't think I'll even need law school from hanging out with RM95's Girl and all her friends. Actually, I'm still planning on going to law school starting in 2004. Once I'm done, my goal is to move to Houston. See ya in 2007!!!
