A new subscriber, atkinsonlaw has identified himself as a criminal defense attorney and has agreed do an AMA / AMAA as scheduled above. Please welcome him and prepare your questions.

He appears on the cornell.edu page.

I'd like to have a list of top-rated questions that he can address this evening, so I'll start collecting questions 'in earnest' next Thursday and we'll start voting the following Monday.

Craig, thank you for agreeing to do this. I hope this will start a ongoing positive trend of attorneys offering good Q & A to our 20,000 (and growing) subscribers.

Finally, a note regarding the {LAWQ.11.A.A}: it's a search tag. LAWQ will designate this series. 11 notes the year. the first A notes Mr. Craig Atkinson as the first identified lawyer in this years' series, and the second A designates the first in a series of exchanges with him.
