		<description><![CDATA[LAW is not a &#8220;rule of civil conduct prescribed by the supreme power of a state.&#8221; Rather, Law is the &#8220;rule, principle, obligation or requirement of natural justice.&#8221; Law is &#8220;the organization of the natural right of lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces. And this common force is [...]]]></description>

According to WSBT News, &#8220;Dakotah told police he had no explanation for shooting his grandfather,  with whom he had a good relationship and [...]]]></description>

So I drew him, though I didn&#8217;t really remember what he looked like. I drew the bars in front of him. I drew [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My latest effort to clarify and simplify what I&#8217;ve been trying to say is here, in a comment on a post by Norm Pattis:
When I link Justice with the role of the criminal defense attorney I primarily have in mind our war against the injustices of the State. The State is the largest criminal organization [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a misconception out there that I&#8217;m a crazy kid. Crazy is in the eye of the beholder, but, alas, a kid [...]]]></description>

I wonder: what if a criminal defense lawyer took only cases that she could win?

I think she&#8217;s got a case.

UPDATE: My prediction proved accurate &#8212; 8 years ago. So I guess this story is old news. I came across this newspaper clipping on Facebook, and laughed long and hard. The look on her face as she sits next to her toy Yoda, and the image of her being led [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve never been a lawyer&#8217;s client or a party to a lawsuit and had to deal with one in that role, so I&#8217;m not sure why this is. I assume the haters have their reasons, but I wonder whether their hatred isn&#8217;t misdirected. Might they be making [...]]]></description>

Chicago and the concurring opinion by Thomas both cite possibly the greatest lawyer who&#8217;s ever lived, 19th century abolitionist and anarchist Lysander Spooner.
