Welcome!

Welcome to the Washington College of Law Criminal Law Brief Blog! We are excited to start a new blog to communicate and discuss current criminal law news events, and debates. We hope this will be a great opportunity for our Staff to get writing experience as well as communicate criminal law issues we are interested in. 

The Criminal Law Brief was created in 2005 and is a journal dedicated to the complex and constantly evolving world of criminal justice system. Our audience includes judges, practicing attorneys,  students with a strong interest in criminal law, and professors of varied criminal law disciplines. We are dedicated to an open and balanced dialogue on all aspects of criminal law representing possible perspectives. The Brief is distributed to federal, state, and local government agencies, courts, law firms, and law schools throughout the country. 

We will have our Executive Board, Line Editors, and Staffers, posting blogs on related issues. We encourage each of our followers to reply to posts to promote healthy debates and discussions on current issues. If you would like to be a guest blogger please email crimlawbrief@gmail.com. As we begin on our new adventure we encourage and appreciate questions and comments from you.

We also encourage you to subscribe to the Criminal Law Brief to receive your two free annual issues. Please email crimlawbrief@gmail.com to be added to our mailing list.

Warm regards,

Monica Trigoso
