From 2005 to 2015 this blog presented news items and resources relating to trial advocacy and the legal system, with a focus on Washington State. It was developed to support the Trial Advocacy Program at the University of Washington School of Law, but broadened to include appellate practice, the courts, access to justice, and related topics. It is no longer active.

Guilty Pleas in Eco-Arson
Two women entered guilty pleas yesterday for the 2001 firebombing of the UW's Center for Urban Horticulture. They promised to cooperate in the federal investigation of a series of arsons and attacks on property by the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front. As part of plea agreements, federal prosecutors will recommend lighter sentences than if they had been convicted of all charges -- 5-7 years and 3-5 years, rather than 30 years or more. Earth Liberation Front members plead guilty in 2001 firebombing, Seattle Times, Oct. 5, 2006.
