This blog is devoted to reporting and commenting on developments related to Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36 (2004). Crawford transformed the doctrine of the Confrontation Clause, but it left many open questions that are, and will continue to be, the subject of a great deal of litigation and academic commentary.

NACDL-PDSDC Amicus in Davis
Here is a link to the amicus brief of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia in support of the petition for certiorari in Davis v. Washington. The brief also urges the Court to grant the petition in Hammon v. Indiana, but I expect these organizations will file a separate brief in that case.
