1 exam down, 3 to go

Contracts, the hardest in many ways, is done.

Tomorrow is Criminal Procedure. This is the subject you non-lawyers actually know something about. These are your constitutional criminal rights, your right to an attorney, your right not to be unfairly interrogated, your right not to testify against yourself, double jeopardy. The movie, Double Jeopardy, is crap. Don't rely on that. You have fewer rights than you think. The presumption that you are innocent doesn't exist in a meaningful way. The law does NOT presume you are innocent the way that you might.

Never volunteer anything to the police. Don't carry contraband in your car.

Justice Scalia wrote the last opinion on Double J, think about what that probably means.
