What to expect at your first court appearance

You’ve been arrested by the police. Handcuffs on. A night at the police station. Maybe even a bail hearing. You now face the daunting prospect of standing before a judge at your first court appearance. I have good news for you. Much of the anxiety surrounding a first court of appearance is unfounded. The first court appearance is a dull, low-risk experience in which little of substance occurs.

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my blog! At the outset I want to be as clear as possible: everything on this blog and sewrattan.com are my thoughts and legal information only. This blog is not legal advice. Reading this blog does not make me your lawyer and you should not make legal decisions based on the information in this blog. Instead, contact a lawyer who can discuss the issues with you.

For my first blog post I want to jump into a bit of an advanced discussion about the most complicated exception to the hearsay rule, the co-conspirators exception. This post is fairly technical. Lawyers will appreciate it the most, followed in close second by nerds.
