Behind Bars and Practicing Law: The Jailhouse Lawyer Debate | TCF Sidebar

#court #law #livediscussion #thecourtroomfiles

Episode 18

Some inmates become “jailhouse lawyers” — helping fellow prisoners file motions, appeals, or even represent themselves. But what’s the real story? Are they legal or just tolerated? Do they actually help, or do they create bigger problems in the courtroom?

In this Sidebar discussion, we dig into the world of jailhouse lawyers: their effectiveness, the law around them, and how judges really feel when an inmate steps up to play attorney.

In this Sidebar discussion, we explore how the law handles overdose deaths, whether the victim’s choices matter in determining guilt, and how far accountability should go when addiction and distribution collide.
