Happy Friday and the last weekend of August! Only 4 more months left in the year, how will you make them great?
TIP OF THE WEEK
Defenders – you have a statutory right to discovery in all of your juvenile cases (§7B-2300-2303). Don’t be afraid to use it! Some jurisdictions provide it without a motion, but it’s never bad practice to file your motion regardless. You can find a sample discovery motion and order here on our website.
