Has anyone here filed an information before charging someone with a crime? I have to draft one by Friday and I work in family law so I have no idea what it should look like.
Presumably similar to a complaint listing key facts/ elements of crime/ why probable cause exists to hold the defendant and charge them?
If someone has an example (I have to do one in Florida for second degree murder) or if someone can find me a form/ template on Westlaw plz PM me for reps.
Thanks in advance!

Damn almost two hours of lr in a row. Yeah the two question stimulus was definitely the experimental. I'm aiming for the same, at least 165.Originally Posted by longlivecrestor
I had lg rc lr lr rc
I thought lg was pretty easy but i ran out of time on the last game and guessed for 2. Lr's seemed about average maybe a little harder. Rc i thought passages were easy but questions were actually challenging which sucks cause I'm usually really good at rc. Anyways congrats to finishing hope we killed it.I am about that life Jerrel

How are you doing an information for murder when you do family law? Are you in the family division of court system or are you working with DA in some capacity?Originally Posted by BunnyRabbs
I'm only licensed in GA so I can't help you anyway but here is George Zimmerman's information for second degree murder:

Perhaps family law in Florida involves a lot of murder as well....Originally Posted by DualRectifier

Im a senior and was in the same position as you two above in always wanting to be a lawyer. I still do and that is a future goal but I recently got a great job offer from the company I interned with over the summer and I decided to take it instead of going straight to law school. But if you had asked me a year ago I would have said 100% that I would be going straight to law school. So I cant answer your employment questions about law but definitely keep an open mind and be prepared for chit to change many times and be ready to adjust for that.

What kind of lawyer? Do you know what lawyers do? (Serious question--most people don't really know.)Originally Posted by whappend12
Not trying to dissuade you. It's just that your statement was really vague.

Biglaw market is still pretty ****ty. I know several people without offers at my t6, and I can only imagine how much tougher it is for students at the lower t14. It also seems that people that went straight from UG to law (like myself) did worse than those with several years of work experience. Although I ended up with an offer from a top firm, I'm convinced that my grades should have given me more options than I ultimately had.
If you are gunning for biglaw, you are playing a game of risk (will you get into a good enough law school, will you get good enough grades at that law school, will you interview well, what will the economy look like, etc). Therefore you should do everything you can to minimize that risk.
To minimize risk, I recommend choosing a degree that will actually give you job options straight after college. This way you have a solid backup option in case law school doesn't pan out. I studied Philosophy and Poly Sci, which was great but it locked me in to law school. Had I bombed the LSAT, I would have had little choice but to take out massive loans for a second rate law school (through which I would not have gotten biglaw). Furthermore, if you have job options you can gain your two years of experience, save up cash, and enter law school at the same age as the traditional law student.
A big caveat though, Law schools don't differentiate GPA's based on major, so you'll have to take that into account.
Lastly, you need to use your time in college to actually figure out if you are interested in the law. Law school is a huge investment and too many people have no idea what they are getting themselves into. I interned for various legal offices and took a lot of law related classes in UG, which helped me realize that I could actually see myself in that profession. If at all possible, you should do an internship with a legal office.**Misc Law School/Lawyer Crew**

Excellent advice.

Does anyone know of any cases (from any common law jurisdiction) I could cite as an example of precedent producing an objectively unjust outcome?

Unjust? Explain further, because most of the laws that came from reversals can be unjust. **** man, have you ever heard of Tort Reform?Originally Posted by Cootz4DuhSloots
But for common law cases, now you're just going down the rabbit hole. Search for something regarding the common law and Property or Tenants. I don't know the case name's for these but if you search for Adverse Possession cases, you will find tons of stuff.▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀

Look for any cases where bad facts made bad law. For example in a New York case O'Brien v. O'Brien the court held that a professional degree (like a medical or law degree) is marital property that can be distributed in divorce. It seemed justified in that case because of the facts, but that's still a pretty unjust law in a broader sense (imo).Originally Posted by Cootz4DuhSloots
