• What is "the 3rd degree?" We'll learn that. Also what a great guy Miranda was. That "probable" = "possible." And how to write a real motion.
• Class list
  • Doug - LAIP and DoJ
  • Rita - Criminal appeals project, MKE DA
  • Sakhouy - Innocence project, Juvenile PD in MKE
  • Amanda - Innocence project, Adult PD in Dane County
  • Kate - LAIP, Waukesha PD, some immigration stuff

• The syllabus is an aspiration, not a roadmap.
• Unless it's specifically called for, generally we don't need to know concurrences so much. But when there is a dissent, who wrote it, who joined it, and what is the main gripe?
• Also, focus on the 4th, 5th, 6th content.
• Beware of blindly citing the WI defense manual.
• Possibly use brief/motion as writing sample after revision
• 1 class will be @ Marcus's house
• Writing assignments:
  • Oct. Motion to suppress.
  • Fact section from fact pattern; drawn from real facts.
  • Argument section; also on real case.
• Evidentiary hearing will be based on first set of facts, will happen after class; over 2 days. Think what information you want to elicit.
• We will go 5, 6, then 4. 4 is the tricky one. 4th is mostly about what is not protected: what is allowed into evidence in spite of a violation (or what is not a violation). The other two are more positive, in content.
