Whats Happening with Sex Offenders - in the Courts?

1-27-2010 National:

Our big day is here, our NEW blog is now available to folks. The blog has one main purpose, and that is to answer this question: "Whats happening with Sex Offenders - in the Courts." This blog is to replace a section of our old website which was lost when Yahoo closed Geocities, hence that site is now history.

Before explaining more about the blog, please remember it is new and I am still putting the final touches on it, including loading of cases (actual decisions) that I have been storing. Any thoughts of how to make it better -for all folks- is welcomed and appreciated.

This blog is based on Federal Circuit Court jurisdictions, so you will first see the circuits displayed, followed by each individual state. Also notice that the Federal Circuit has a few off-shore jurisdictions which we are not usually familiar with (Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam). They are included to post whatever decision that may come down with.

Now, if you choose a state from that main index page, you will see whats happened or happening in that state. At the top of that state page will be links to all the other states that are in the same Federal Circuit that the state you chose. Folks familiar with legal research will know the value of this.

Once you are done viewing a state just click on the blog title to get back to the main index page. Yes, it will take a bit of time to learn the ins and outs of this blog.

Now, to follow "Issues" there is a "Subject Index" which if you select an issue it will go to all the states that, have or had, this issue in their courts. In addition, if a state has a Case-in-Progress, you can selct that as a issue to find them (Nebraska is an example today). A Case-in-Progress is different than a case that is being appealed, in that, a Case-in-Progress has no real decision just yet.

Also, there is a "Subject Index" for "States w/cases in the US Supreme Court" thats one I like because you can find out where the cases originated and what issues the high court will be considering.

There are many other subtle points too numerous to mention here, so please enjoy yourself. Pile on your questions, ultimately they will make this blog better.

PS: In each state there are "State Resources" for folks, hopefully places where they can get some answers or legal help. As to legal help, any lawyer that wishes to be listed can contact me (See RED BAR) to have his/her listing posted in the appropriate state.

For now, have a great day and a better tomorrow. Suggestions or cases you think should be listed, all are appreciated.
