This weekend, I spent some time updating my blog, fixing broken criminal justice resource links and swapping out inactive blogs for more active ones.

The blog's reference section now includes links to two excellent District of Oregon Federal Defender criminal defense resources, Developments in Federal Search & Seizure Law and Summaries of Successful Federal Habeas Cases.

There is also a link to the Trump Con Law Blog. The "Con" refers to "Constitutional," not "Convict" (at least not yet).
