This is a purely educational website. Nothing here is legal advice or creates or implies an attorney-client relationship. If you have a specific legal issue, PLEASE talk to a lawyer who practices where you live—laws vary from place to place, and how they're applied varies from courthouse to courthouse. Your local county bar association can probably refer someone who handles matters like yours.

It's best to keep all discussions in the comments. But if you really need to reach Nathan privately, go ahead and email him at n.e.burney@gmail.com. He won't mind.

I assume, based on my feelings right now, that this is going to result in a lot of head scratching.
I wonder how many visitors will connect this Cora to the one from the Entrapment chapter (a link might help); for many of them, this sudden switch from Male suspect and male attorney to a female suspect and female attorney might be very confusing.
Done! Thanks for the feedback.
As a nonlawyer, I have to say that is complete and utter bullshit. Suppose that the cops and prosecutors are confident you committed a crime. They are going to charge you They are going to stick you in a lineup. They are going to charge you. Why do you have a right to counsel if they arrest you, charge you, then stick you in a lineup? Why don’t you if they arrest you, stick you in a lineup, then charge you.
And in fact that gets addressed on the very next page! Very prescient of you.
