How refreshing: The university president as statesman rather than corporate toady or proto-authoritarian
How refreshing: The university president as statesman rather than corporate toady or proto-authoritarian
@robertltsai @Harvard_Press This is a great book!
@Emilymakescoff1 @strowhiro I think I saw Bryan Stevenson and the book Lady Justice recommended below and heartily cosign. I would also add any books by Michael Klarman, @robertltsai (he has a new-ish one out about Steven Bright, who inspired Bryan, but his previous books are great too), and @CBHessick.

8. if it's possible, try to avoid being arrested. i know a lot of people treat it like a badge of honor, but it's a brutal and traumatizing experience. there are times where it's unavoidable and where it's worth it, but again, it's always better to avoid being arrested.
7. if an officer is hurting you, try to stay calm, and loudly but non-antagonistically say where and how the officer is hurting you. do not resist arrest, and do not struggle, because that can get you killed and it's better to live to fight another day
6. wear comfortable clothing and shoes you won't mind being stuck in for a few days. jail cells are already awful, so if you're stuck in one the last thing you'll need is to also be dealing with a painful underwire or shoes that don't fit properly.
5. stay hydrated, and don't skip meals. especially with temperatures rising, there's a good chance you will be sitting and cuffed in the heat without access to food or water. the police will neglect your medical condition out of spite. you dont need heat stroke on top of bruises.
4. make sure arrest support organizers are monitoring and OFF SITE. they should have everyone's full names and date of birth so that people who are arrested can be located once they're incarcerated. if they're on site, they might also be arrested and then you're shit outta luck.
2. get and report as much officer info as you can. if arrest support knows the officers' names and badge numbers, car numbers, unit numbers, etc, and which jail you're being taken to, it will be easier to find you, to keep track of your condition, and to hold cops accountable.
1. this is the most important tip i can offer: do not antagonize the police. we all hate cops, and we should, and they absolutely should hate themselves and their jobs--but they can and will maim or kill you with impunity. treat them with caution like you would dangerous animals.

Hey #lawtwitter my 13 year old has her eyes set on becoming a lawyer. She loves to read and would love your suggestions on books to read about law/legal field. She reads at a college level. As I’m not a lawyer, I have no idea where to point her. Thanks!
@Emilymakescoff1 @strowhiro I think I saw Bryan Stevenson and the book Lady Justice recommended below and heartily cosign. I would also add any books by Michael Klarman, @robertltsai (he has a new-ish one out about Steven Bright, who inspired Bryan, but his previous books are great too), and @CBHessick.
