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 It is no longer active.

Ressam's Letter to Judge Coughenour
In November, Ahmed Ressam (who was convicted of involvement in a plan to bomb LAX) sent a letter to district judge John Coughenour. Now the letter (in Arabic) and a translation have been made public. Millennium bomber changes story about friend. Mr. Ressam's attorney is Tom Hillier, of the Federal Public Defender's office (and the Trial Ad faculty). (Judge Coughenour is teaching Advanced Trial Advocacy this quarter too.)
