As the police escalate violence, beat and attack students and professors, and conduct mass arrests, student protesters should know their rights.

Here is the link to the National Lawyer's Guild booklet for protesters.

If you plan on going out to support the protests, please take some time to read through this and know your rights.

Lol at getting MAGA idiots to give you $200, 000 for your defence fund, then pleading guilty a month later.

Happy Black History Month! Today, we highlight Styles L. Hutchins, the first Black attorney admitted to the Georgia bar (1878). In 1906, Hutchins and his law partner Noah Parden became the first African Americans to make an oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Oh my God. Just read an article with some quotes from one of Trump's lawyers, and their defense apparently is going to be that Trump was only ASKING for Pence to throw out slates of electors and pause the certification process, which is 'core free speech.' 'Asking is aspirational. Asking is not action.'

Fellas, is it your First Amendment right to order people to do crime for you?

Donald Trump picked a bad state to meddle in an election.

Perhaps Trump thought he could could get a pardon, if convicted, from a GOP governor in Georgia. But thanks to reforms enacted as a result of a Depression era scandal, the governor is only very indirectly involved in the pardons process.

[G]etting a pardon in Georgia is not just a matter of persuading a governor to grant clemency. People convicted of state crimes are eligible to apply for pardons only five years after they have started serving their sentences. Even then, it not the governor who decides but the State Board of Pardons and Paroles. And while criminals can ask the parole board to commute sentences right away, the board “will consider a commutation of a sentence imposed in other than death cases only when substantial evidence is submitted” showing “that the sentence is either excessive, illegal, unconstitutional or void” and that “such action would be in the best interests of society and the inmate.” The board’s five members are appointed by the governor to seven-year terms, an effort to insulate them from political pressure.

So if convicted under Georgia law, Trump is toast.

Here's why the governor has no power over pardons except to appoint the parole board.

Georgia set up its restrictive system after Gov. Eurith D. “Ed” Rivers was implicated in a cash-for-pardons scandal in the 1930s. Time magazine reported in 1941 that the governor’s chauffeur “frequently went to prison camps of Fulton County with pardons already signed and asked to see prisoners.” While charges were eventually dropped after Mr. Rivers was acquitted once and had two mistrials, a new pardon system was created in the wake of the scandal.

Trump will probably try to move the trial to a federal court.

Could Donald Trump’s Georgia case be moved to federal court? He has that right

With all of Trump's legal troubles, you would think he'd pay his lawyers. But even after raising a quarter of a billion dollars from his loser followers, he is stiffing his lawyers.

Regardless, Trump and his co-conspirators have until midday August 25th to turn themselves in at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia for booking.

Sheriff: Trump and co-defendants will be booked at Fulton County jail

Keep in mind, defendants can turn themselves in at any time. The jail is open 24/7.
