If any good comes from recent headlines about U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and the firings of John McKay and other U.S. attorneys, one benefit here is a deeper appreciation for Norm Maleng, the elected King County prosecutor who died yesterday.A man of integrity and decency who saw the best in people, Crosscut, May 25, 2007.

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 It is no longer active.
