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 It is no longer active.

Alleged fighting dogs can't be euthanized
The Spokane County Regional Animal Protective Services (SCRAP) shelter is full and has to euthanize some dogs that potentially could be adopted. Instead, managers would prefer to euthanize 8 dogs that were seized from an alleged dog fighting operation in April. Spokane County Superior Court Judge Ellen Clark ruled today that the shelter must keep the (alleged) fighting dogs alive so that they can be available to the defense, e.g., for behavioral tests. Alleged fighting dogs can't be euthanized, Spokesman Review, July 27, 2007 [that's the date on the web page, but can it be right? isn't today the 26th?]
