Site for legal cites
It’s hard to keep track of everything going on in our fair state, so most reporters build a network of sources and other contacts to help.
One of my favorite resources as a former criminal justice reporter is attorney Jim Hankins’ Web site, Oklahoma Criminal Defense Weekly.
Hankins, whom I first met many years ago while I was working, is well versed in criminal law as a trial lawyer and advocate for death row inmates.
He gave me one of his business cards after I moved to The Oklahoman in 2005. It included a link to his site, which has become a regular stop for me in my work-related Web surfing.
Hankins’ site includes a “Victories” section to publicize cases won by his peers and a “Hearsay” section for legal stories of interest.
I’ve gotten several stories ideas from the site, including this one.
