i did write one of them there amicus briefs for a defendent being sued by their landlord in a civil case more then 20 years ago, now that i think about it, just compiled introductory pages for each of their sand bag of documents, mostly cut and paste using an example that i had, they won. but no, i have no intention of going to law school. i'm a bit past my prime to start in on something like that. not really something that would interest me that much. but it did give me a taste of what the work would actually be like. sort of like a forever homework assignment.
I found this which is interesting. I think the rule of thumb here is the make sure you front up to court to defend yourself.
suspected DUI for weed criminal court charges dropped when my lawyer showed I had a medical card and paperwork from doctors explaining why I would fail a road side test which I refused per my legal rights. Same paperwork I showed to cops by the way. They claimed I forged it and refused to admit to evidence. Those tests are 100% a cop's judgement 0% any real standard. If you are at the point of being asked he is going to arrest you for DUI. He just wants the "evidence" of you failing the test. I knew this and refused which according to my attorney made it very difficult for the state to make any claims against me. I've actuly been arrested for DUI 3 times and each time it's the same story. They can't make it stick and I am truly not intoxicated. .
