Tomorrow afternoon I’m going to chat with Donna about this question and more. We’re going to find out what are the most common mistakes she’s seen over the past 32+ years and how we can all avoid making them. You’re invited to join us here… http://www.spreecast.com/events/donna-bader

For those of you who don’t know Donna, here’s a brief background. Since 1980, Donna has been practicing exclusively in the area of civil appeals and writs, with an emphasis on medical and legal malpractice, and personal injury law. Donna has written over 350 appellate briefs and writ petitions.

Donna is also the former Editor-in-Chief of Plaintiff magazine, a new publication that is distributed to over 5,000 Northern California attorneys. She is a former Editor-in-Chief of Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles’ monthly magazine, The Advocate. Donna is also the author of my favorite “how to” trial lawyer/ appellate related book entitled, “An Appeal to Reason”.

During our Spreecast, I’ll ask Donna to share inside tips about (1) the role of attorneys in the appellate process; (2) the most common obstacles she sees attorneys face on appeal; (3) what every trial lawyer needs to know about standards of review; (4) why proper objections are so critically important; (5) the most common law and motion problems; (6) the most common mistakes attorneys make with court reporters; (7) how to make sure your record is clear and complete; (8) how to deal with bad behavior of counsel and (9) what you need to do after the trial is over.
So, as you can see, Donna and I will be covering quite a bit. Make sure to join us at 3pm PDT Wednesday afternoon for this free Spreecast! Click here to RSVP for this free Spreecast.

More Than 2,000 Wrongfully Convicted People Exonerated in 23 Years

Innocent PrisonersAccording to studies conducted by two major university law schools, more than 2,000 people were falsely convicted of serious crimes over the past 23 years in the United States. This new national registry or database was painstakingly assembled by the University of Michigan Law School and the Center on Wrongful convictions at Northwestern University School of Law.

The group of wrongfully convicted exonerated people accounts for more than 10,000 total years in prison with an average incarceration of more than 11 years each. DNA led to exoneration in nearly one-third of the cases.

In two out of three of the homicide cases, perjury or false accusation was the most common factor leading to false conviction. In four out of five sexual assault cases, mistaken eyewitness identification was the leading cause.

Full, Unedited Kelly Thomas Confrontation Video

Police Misconduct or Justifiable Use of Force?

The Orange County, California, “Kelly Thomas” case involves several police officers being charged with crimes for allegedly assaulting and killing Kelly Thomas. The key question being looked at this week during the preliminary hearing is whether or not the officers were justified in their conduct and whether or not there is sufficient evidence to prosecute the officers in the criminal case. [update- Judge found sufficient evidence and officers will be prosecuted]

Below is the unedited video of the incident. You decide.

According to the Orange County Register Newspaper (good link of Kelly Thomas resources/updates…), the videotape, shown in public for the first time during the preliminary hearing Monday, showed an escalating situation that abruptly became violent when Ramos (police officer) put on rubber gloves and said, “Now, you see my fists? … They’re getting ready to f— you up … if you don’t start f—– listening.”

Within moments, Ramos and another officer strike Thomas with a baton before taking him to the ground, according to the video, and land on him as he begins screaming “I’m sorry dude! … I’m sorry! … I can’t breathe, dude … I can’t breathe, sir! Please, help!” and later “Help, Dad! Dad! Help me, Dad!”

————-

Join us live on Spreecast (Monday, May 14, 2012 at 11 a.m. PDT) to discuss the Kelly Thomas case in more detail (live video discussion). If you are unable to participate in the live “real-time” Spreecast, please use this same link to watch the recorded discussion at your leisure…

Jon Mitchell JacksonWow! If you want an attorney who is not afraid to be aggressive in your representation, call Mitch Jackson. Many civil attorneys shy away from trial – Mitch is the opposite. It’s refreshing to speak to someone who loves trial and really knows what they’re doing.

DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I SUE: Exposing the Lawsuit-Happy Hypocrites of U.S. Chamber’s Institute for Legal Reform

consumer rights and lawsuit abuseThe Institute for Legal Reform (ILR), an arm of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, has the sole mission of restricting the ability of individuals harmed by negligent corporations to access the civil justice system. According to the multinational corporations that finance ILR, American businesses are hindered by too many lawsuits. Yet these same corporations show no hesitation in liberally using the courthouse themselves. Here are the facts in this very interesting 19 page report…

California Auto Body Repair Consumer Bill of Rights (Amended January 1, 2010)

Getting your Car RepairedEvery week we get several calls from consumers who have questions about getting their automobile property damage repaired after an accident. Most are not aware of their legal rights.

Here is the California Auto Body Repair Consumer Bill of Rights that should help answer most of your questions. Phone numbers and links are also provided. If you still have questions, feel free to call.

A Consumer is entitled to:

1. Select the auto body repair shop to repair auto body damage covered by the insurance company. An insurance company shall not require the repairs to be done at a specific auto body repair shop.

2. An itemized written estimate for auto body repairs and upon completion of repairs, a detailed invoice. The estimate and the invoice must include an itemized list of parts and labor along with the total price for the work performed. The estimate and invoice must also identify all parts as new, used, aftermarket, reconditioned or rebuilt.

3. Be informed about coverage for towing and storage services.

4. Be informed about the extent of coverage if any, for a replacement rental vehicle while a damaged vehicle is being repaired.

5. Be informed of where to report suspected fraud or other complaints and concerns about auto body repairs.

6. Seek and obtain an independent repair estimate directly from a registered auto body repair shop for repair of a damaged vehicle, even when pursuing an insurance claim for repairing the vehicle.
