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 It is no longer active.

Standard for Harmless Error Review in Habeas
Supreme Court hears arguments in 'harmless error' case, Jurist, 3/20/07. In Fry v. Pliler the Court will consider whether whether "a court should apply the 'harmless beyond a reasonable doubt' standard of Chapman v. California or the 'substantial and injurious effect' standard of Brecht v. Abrahamson in a federal habeas proceeding for which the lower state courts did not conduct a harmless error analysis."
