I wanted to reiterate how much I personally appreciate the time, effort and thoroughness you put into your work with the Legal Update. I've relied on it and referenced it many a time in my 21 year career.
I cannot live without Legal Updates... Every officer in the Nation should read these updates
I want to thank you for your great contribution in helping lawyers. Your scholarship and legal updates play a pivotal role in motivating us to provide the best service in advocacy. I have been a prosecutor and public defender and I am very grateful to you for your hard work and diligence in presenting a first rate legal update to assist me in my law practice.
..Thank you for your continued efforts in helping us "fight the fight." The material you provide is invaluable for us all in our fight for justice.
The Legal Updates Search and Seizure guide is by far the most well-researched and cited tool available for class and test preparation. Thank you very much for your hard work!
..Invaluable for investigators. The Legal Updates newsletter (and more specifically Robert's analysis of each case) has helped me understand case law and has helped me to modify my investigative procedures as needed.
I deeply appreciate the research and effort to provide this information. "Knowledge is Power," and this helps to keep one personally out of civil and criminal court!
I'm a 10 year veteran and have been using Legal Updates for 3 years now and it has been a game changer, not only for myself but for my agency. I share the cases I’ve learned with my fellow officers and command. With California’s ever-changing laws, having something like Legal Updates provides an easy broken down way for the average officer to learn case law. I always promote my officers to educate themselves and recommend this subscription.
