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 It is no longer active.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 sentence reinstated
Ressam sentence reinstated, Seattle P-I, Dec. 4, 2008. Federal prosecutors asked Judge John Coughenour (W.D. Wash.) to increase convicted terrorist Ahmed Ressam's sentence from 22 years to life. His sentence had reflected his early cooperation with investigators but he has stopped cooperating. Judge Coughenour stuck with the original sentence, but U.S. Attorney Jeff Sullivan hopes to appeal that decision.
