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.

A lawyer without history or literature is a mechanic, a mere working mason; if he possesses some knowledge of these, he may venture to call himself an architect.

CENTER FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE ADVOCACY
The climate is an angry beast,
and we have been poking at it with sticks,
e.g., in 2010, 30.6 gigatons of global
CO2 emissions (1) - a new record.

With 4.5% of the world's population, the US is responsible for nearly 30% of global CO2 emissions. The output fromTexas alone exceeds that of all of Canada.

It was 20,000,000 years ago that the Earth's atmosphere last had our current  atmospheric levels of CO2. Three hundred and fifty parts of CO2 per million of atmospheric air or less is the maximum concentration compatible with maintaining the planet in the state to which human life is adapted. Fossil fuel use, along with deforestation, is responsible for a great deal of the CO2 increase.

Methane (CH4), like CO2, is a heat-trapping gas. It is 25 times more potent than CO2
as a greenhouse gas over a 100-year period.
As it escapes into the atmosphere, methane adds even more to the pace of global warming. Concentrations of atmospheric methane have increased 150% since 1750.

Our species faces 3 enormous problems: population growth, resource depletion, and global warming. Future generations of homo sapiens will suffer mightily for what we have done to our only home.

Want less. Use less. Conserve energy.

DISASTER (for locals)  HURRICANE, FLOOD, ETC

  • 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 Rick Perry, Houston Mayor Bill White and Harris County Judge Robert Eckels  simply told citizens to "gas up and go" without any effective planning; many tens of thousands who heeded their advice were stranded perilously 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  White, became more of a statesman and true public servant, doing a much better job; Governor Perry again proved himself to be little more than a posturing politician, (He later ran for President in 2011 and revealed himself to be a slow-thinking, stumbling debater); Eckels is gone to a silk-stocking law firm; so far, his replacement, County Judge  Ed Emmett, appears to be a valid public servant.]
