A prisoner's civil rights are violated when guaranteed rights are suppressed, trampled or denied by a prisoner's (or jailed inmate's) keepers or the enactment and enforcement of an improper rule or procedure.

The best book to have for litigating a civil case is The Colossal Book of Civil Citations. Before a prisoner can present his case in a court of law, the exhaustion of administrative remedies must occur. Exhaustion of administrative remedies is the institution's internal paperwork process which seeks to resolve the dispute within the confines of the prison or jail. If a prisoner fails to adhere to this process, there is a significant likelihood that the case will be dismissed by the court. There are narrow exceptions to this requirement. The references contained in The Colossal Book of Civil Citations will identify what the narrow exceptions are when faced with a court's dismissal due to failure to exhaust administrative remedies.

The most common type of post conviction relief is the direct appeal filed after a defendant is convicted subsequent to a trial. However, post conviction relief may come through a motion for a new trial usually filed before sentencing, the direct appeal, a post conviction collateral attack permitted by state rule, a state habeas corpus petition or a federal habeas corpus petition. Each pathway of post conviction relief will have a different time frame expectation and a different opportunity to present various legal arguments.

Yes. A judge can reverse a guilty verdict. The first opportunity for a judge to reverse a guilty verdict is immediately after a jury's "guilty" finding. This usually requires the defendant to file a motion for a new trial detailing the grounds why a new trial should occur and requesting that a judge overturn a conviction found by the jury.

The Colossal Book of Criminal Citations is one book that all pretrial inmates facing criminal charges should have. Pretrial motions and hearings set the framework for the conduct of the trial itself. If the accused is found guilty following a trial, post conviction relief analysis starts with the first filed motions and court rulings extending through the sentencing period. If a pretrial foundation fails to exists, future, important, opportunities at post conviction relief is nonexistent. The Colossal Book of Criminal Citations will aide in making sure a solid pretrial foundation exists if necessary to overturn a conviction.

Ineffective assistance of counsel is a court's legal determination an attorney failed to represent the client as legally required. Simply because a defendant is found "guilty" or receives a length sentence does not establish that trial counsel was ineffective. Likewise, if a conviction is not reversed on appeal does not automatically establish appellate counsel was ineffective. Ineffective assistance of counsel can be found by a court only for proceedings in which the defendant has the legal right to counsel. This legal right is Constitutionally guaranteed only in criminal proceedings. This bears emphasis, there can be no ineffectiveness of counsel finding in any proceeding for which the appointment of counsel is discretionary.

Yes, a judge can overturn a plea deal or decline to accept a plea agreement. There are different reasons for both possibilities which I will describe individually on my blog at https://barkanresearch.com/judge-overturn-or-decline-plea-agreement/.

Knowledge, regardless of any book's topic, is always beneficial to /the reader. Humans desire to learn primarily for two reasons: interest and necessity. A legal book is no different. Nearly everyone else looking to purchase a law book is someone directly or indirectly impacted by the law itself. This group includes someone accused of a crime, someone with a friend or family member accused of a crime, or a person who knows someone already incarcerated. These are the people who look to purchase a law book out of necessity. Read more at https://barkanresearch.com/self-help-legal-book-review/.

Should a criminal defendant accept plea a plea offer is a question most individuals will need to answer if ever accused of a crime. Various studies suggest that over ninety percent of all criminal convictions are the result of the accused accepting a plea agreement offered by the prosecution. So, if accused of a crime, this is a question nearly everyone will likely need to answer. In my personal experience, almost everyone who accepted a plea offer made a good decision. But the analysis and answer to this question does not end here. There really isn't a simple or direct answer. Once a person is charged with a criminal offense, there are two choices for the accused enter into a plea agreement, or progress through a trial. When there is overwhelming evidence of guilt, I personally see a trial as something to avoid. Read more at https://barkanresearch.com/when-should-a-defendant-accept-a-plea-offer/.

The Civil Right violated most in prison is probably the Eighth Amendment Right to adequate medical care. This analysis is made through complaints I heard about and cases reviewed. While I did not represent any of these individuals, I would hear from many prisoners claiming needless medical neglect. The failure to timely and properly treat a prisoner leads to unnecessary pain, suffering and death. The next most frequent Civil Rights violation I see, is a First Amendment Violation. Most of these cases deal with religious or mail infringements caused by a prison practice. Certain religions require specialty meals or specially prepared meals. Some religions require meetings of individuals in a group setting. These requirements can be viewed as unnecessary expenditures or staff inconveniences. When prisoners are denied the ability to practice their belief system due to expense or inconvenience, a First Amendment Right violation occurs. Read more on my blog at
