Explore these links at your leisure. Some of the sites are basic search engines. Other sites, such as Cornell, Findlaw, and Indiana, provide information about legal subjects. There are several superb criminal justice  sites, such as Greek's Links, with numerous hyperlinks to other criminal resources.  The federal and state codes and cases sites are useful in the criminal law course. Two of my favorite sites for leisure reading about real life crimes and defenses are Famous Trials and TruTV's Crime Library of infamous criminal cases.

These Center for Criminal Justice Advocacy links are just a tiny drop in the ocean of criminal law information available on the web. But they are guaranteed to start you on an endless ride. Good surfing! 

Knowledge is of two types - we know a subject ourselves or
we know where we can go to get information about it.


HERE ARE A FEW WEB SITES THAT YOU MAY FIND USEFUL TO VISIT AS YOU PUT YOUR TOES

DISASTER (for locals)

  • Evacuation Routes from Houston - (I-10 to SA ); (I-45 to Dallas);  (US 290 to Austin);  (US 59 to Nacogdoches) (In 2005 with Hurricane Rita approaching, Governor Perry, Mayor White and County Judge Eckels  simply told citizens to "gas up and go" without any effective planning; tens of thousands who heeded their advice were stranded dangerously on highways; luckily the hurricane bypassed us; let's hope the politicians exercise better judgment and planning the next time we face the real probability of a hurricdane strike.) (In 2008's Hurricane Ike, Mayor Bill White, becoming more of a statesman and true public servant, did a much better job; Governor Rick Perry proved himself to be little more than a posturing politician; Robert Eckels is gone to a silk-stocking law firm; the jury is still out on his replacement, County Judge  Ed Emmett.)
