Many people are dissatisfied with the actions of their government, but few people take steps to do anything about it.  One of the best ways to make your voice heard, and to make your opinions count, is by contacting your representatives in Congress.  Writing them, calling them, emailing them, and even showing up at their office are all useful means of making sure that your opinion is heard.

Welcome to the Alabama Law Journal!

Welcome to the Alabama Law Journal!

Welcome to the Alabama Law Journal! This blog will be used to track and discuss important legal developments in the State of Alabama. Some of the material will be oriented towards attorneys and thus may be too mind-numbingly boring for normal people, but a lot of what we post here will be layman-friendly too. Whether it is a new ruling from one of our appellate courts (Alabama Supreme Court, Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals, and/or Alabama Court of Civil Appeals), a new bill introduced into the Alabama House of Representatives or the Alabama Senate, an executive order or other action by the Alabama governor, a local court ruling, or other news involving Alabama law, our goal is to keep people educated and informed about what is going on in Alabama’s legal system.
