Objectives Getting to Know Katie Leininger Assistant City Attorney City of Pearland Objectives By the end of the session, participants will be able to: Identify the types of motions most commonly filed in municipal and justice courts. Determine the appropriate response, if any, to these motions. Recognize what motions should be filed by the State and when they should be filed. Getting to know you Put your hands in the air if: Someone filed a motion and you had no idea how to respond. You’ve actually had a hearing on a motion in your municipal court. You work in a court of record. You wear different hats in different municipal courts. Why file pretrial motions? Resolve contested legal issues before trial Provide clear deadlines to both parties for raising certain issues The court’s holding on a motion may lead to disposition of case without trial Legal basis for pretrial hearing: CCP Art. 28.01 Section 1 Any case may be set for pretrial hearing, by motion of either party or upon the court’s motion “Defendant’s presence is required during any pre‐trial proceeding” (but may be affirmatively waived, 866 S.W.2d 210) Covers a variety of matters, from arraignment to appointment of an interpreter Legal basis for pretrial hearing: CCP Art. 28.01 Section 2 Section 3 –notice may be by Assuming ten days notice to Announcement made in open defendant, any matters not raised court in presence of Δ/counsel or filed seven days before Personal service on Δ/counsel hearing may be waived By mail to Δ/counsel Judge has broad discretion re: Note: if envelope is shown to whether Δ gave notice of intent to raise argument (866 S.W.2d have been properly addressed, 243) stamped, and mailed, State does not have to prove it was received Who files motions? Big Traffic firms Solo/criminal law firms Attorneys “helping out a friend” Pro se defendants Sovereign citizens Prosecutors Who files motions? Big Traffic firms Tend to file same motions in every case May or may not be properly filed (or even relevant) motions May be more or less common in your region Who files motions? Solo/criminal law firms Usually file where/when appropriate May be form motions used in higher level offense, asking for things that aren’t relevant or are unavailable in your court May or may not be proper motions, depending on the attorney Who files motions? Attorney “helping out a friend” (or him/herself) Does not practice criminal law on a regular basis Might be using a case management tool like ProDoc May be irrelevant, badly worded, or improper motions Who files motions? Pro se defendants Sometimes this is an attorney representing him or herself who knows what’s going on in court More often, it’s someone who may want or need some level of hand holding through the court process Usually this person is not familiar with the court system, how to style motions, when he or she is allowed to do what, etc. Who files motions? Everyone’s favorite pro se defendant –the sovereign citizen! Motions are rarely based on Texas/Fifth Circuit law Usually cite civil law, appellate cases from other states, UCC, etc. Fun fact: frequently nobody (including the pro se defendant) has any idea what the motions mean, or what they are actually requesting Common types of defense motions Motion for discovery Motion for new trial Motion to continue Motions in limine Motion to quash Motion to disqualify judge Motion to suppress Motion to dismiss PO Motion to appoint Double jeopardy interpreter Motion for court reporter Defense motions Motion for discovery (CCP 28.01 Motion to continue (CCP 28.01(5); (8); CCP 39.14) CCP Ch. 29) Duty to disclose?

Burrows Submitted in fulfillment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Sussex, May 2014 3 University of Sussex Karen K. Burrows Escaping the Honeytrap: Representations and Ramifications of the Female Spy on Television Since 1965 Summary My thesis interrogates the changing nature of the espionage genre on Western television since the middle of the Cold War. It uses close textual analysis to read the progressions and regressions in the portrayal of the female spy, analyzing where her representation aligns with the achievements of the feminist movement, where it aligns with popular political culture of the time, and what happens when the two factors diverge. I ask what the female spy represents across the decades and why her image is integral to understanding the portrayal of gender on television. I explore four pairs of television shows from various eras to demonstrate the importance of the female spy to the cultural landscape.

  • Violent Femmes: Women As Spies in Popular Culture / Rosie White
    Violent Femmes The female spy has long exerted a strong grip on the popular imagination. With reference to popular fiction, film and television Violent Femmes examines the figure of the female spy as a nexus of contradictory ideas about femininity, power, sexuality and national identity. Fictional repre- sentations of women as spies have recurrently traced the dynamic of women’s changing roles in British and American culture. Employing the central trope of women who work as spies, Rosie White examines cultural shifts during the twentieth century regarding the role of women in the professional work- place. Beginning with an examination of the male spy in popular fiction, White’s revealing book then moves on to examine female spies, comparing and contrasting numerous female spies in investigative case studies with the aim of answering the following questions: Howhavedepictionsofthefemalespychangedoverthetwentiethcentury? What can Modesty Blaise tell us about women in the 1960s and 1970s? Does Alias offer an ideal vision of the working woman in the twenty-first century? Are women in Western culture now seen as agents of their own futures? In the twentieth century, a period when women’s relationship with public life and state authority was changing radically, the female spy in all her forms offers a suggestive account of the effects of, and resistances to, such transformations. Violent Femmes examines the female spy as a figure in popular discourse which simultaneously conforms to cultural stereotypes and raises questions about women’s roles in British and American culture, in terms of gender, sexuality and national identity. Immensely useful for a wide range of courses such as Film and Television Studies, English, Cultural Studies, Women’s Studies, Gender Studies, Media Studies, Communications, and History, this book will appeal to students from undergraduate level upwards.

    PUBLISHER Lee Harris Managing Editor Alasdair Stuart Commissioning Editor Ellen J Allen design/layout Magazine Phil Lunt SCIENCE FICTION HORROR FANTASY . Hub issue 79 15TH MAR 2009 CONTENTS: FICTION: SBIR Proposal by Richard K. Lyon REVIEW: Alias Season 1 Evil Ways FEATURE: Radiodays by Neil Gardner Hub Magazine is Sponsored by Harper Collins EDITORIAL: by ellen j allen It looks as though this year is shaping up to be another good one for lovers of sf, f and horror films. The adaptation of Alan Moore’s Watchmen is already out in cinemas, Monsters vs Aliens will be out at the start of April, followed a month later by X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Exciting trailers are running for that last film, as they are for Star Trek, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Terminator Salvation, not to mention Lesbian Vampire Killers... With the exception of Watchmen, Monsters vs Aliens and Lesbian Vampire Killers, all of these are franchise films and fortunately, they all look like they’re very well made indeed. I’m looking forward to watching all of them, which should (almost) be enough to make up for the lack of a series of Doctor Who this year... Not to miss them out altogether, here are a few books to watch out for this year. A Little Stranger by Sarah Waters promises to be a nicely chilling ghost story. A Memory of Light, the final volume in the enormous Wheel of Time series should be on our shelves at the beginning of October, completed by Brandon Sandersen after the death of Robert Jordan.

Lo stupore nasce innanzitutto dalla qualità dell’offerta, che esplora generi e tipologie anche molto diverse tra loro. Questo mi conferma quanto il teatro in Basilicata debba essere considerato un presidio culturale essenziale per le nostre piccole comunità, a volte un vero e proprio atto di resistenza. Inno all’identità, alla coscienza di sé e alla scoperta dell’altro. Mettere assieme gli operatori per garantire, in un tempo così difficile per l’industria culturale, un cartellone condiviso come questo è la vera sfida posta in essere dal Consorzio. Che è quella di una regione in cui i territori, spesso troppo piccoli per essere autonomi, devono saper ragionare insieme mettendo in campo strategie ed azioni comuni per poter (r)esistere.

  • Elevator Pitch
    Åsa Maria Bradley www.asamariabradley.com [email protected] Elevator Pitch The elevator pitch is sometimes referred to as the “log line” or the “high concept.” Technically, high concept is different from the elevator pitch in that it concentrates on the big picture of a commercially successful plot. Sometimes the high concept of a story will use movies as references. Example: Pretty Woman meets Alien. The elevator pitch is a short plot synopsis that makes the listener want to know more about your story. Here are some examples from the Internet Movie Database (imdb.com). (Another great resource: Netflix.) When his secret bride is executed for assaulting an English soldier whom tried to rape her, a commoner begins a revolt and leads Scottish warriors against the cruel English tyrant who rules Scotland with an iron-fist. (Braveheart) Acting under the cover of a Hollywood producer scouting a location for a science fiction film, a CIA agent launches a dangerous operation to rescue six Americans in Tehran during the U.S. hostage crisis in Iran in 1980. (Argo) After his son is captured in the Great Barrier Reef and taken to Sydney, a timid clownfish sets out on a journey to bring him home. (Finding Nemo) A woman flies to France to confront her straying fiancé, but gets into trouble when the charming crook seated next to her uses her for smuggling. (French Kiss) One of my favorite examples of how to write an elevator pitch comes from the Story Sensei blog. (http://storysensei.blogspot.com/2005/08/50-word-elevator-pitch.html) Camy Tang recommends writing a 50 word elevator pitch using: Character: Your protagonist or focal character.

El debate entorno a las "revoluciones" televisivas, digitales y espectatoriales ha abandonado su antiguo estatus de profecía intelectual !más o menos tópica! para convertirse en una realidad cotidiana, asimilada con naturalidad por millones de devoradores audiovisuales en todo el planeta, una cosa de todos. Antiguos estigmas de integración y apocalipsis como la hibridación indiscriminada, la adscripción por/contra los sistemas de producción, la fractura identitaria o la dispersión genérica son, hoy, nuestro pan de cada día. Cuando Tony Soprano pasa !con un simple giro de michelín! de las cenizas del puro fundacional de Hampa Dorada a los mandos de Mario Kart 64, hablar de "revolución postmoderna" no tiene sentido.

Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater announces the full company for the world-premiere historical drama Camp David, penned by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lawrence Wright and directed by Artistic Director Molly Smith. Based on true events surrounding the 1978 Camp David Accords, the play follows the 13-day meeting between President Jimmy Carter, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat as they attempted to create the impossible: peace in the Middle East. The production features Tony Award nominee Hallie Foote (Broadway’s Dividing the Estate) as Rosalynn Carter, Egyptian actor and activist Khaled Nabawy (Kingdom of Heaven, Fair Game) as Anwar Sadat, Tony Award winner Ron Rifkin (Alias, Broadway’s Cabaret) as Menachem Begin and Emmy Award winner Richard Thomas (The Waltons) as President Jimmy Carter. Camp David runs March 21-May 4, 2014 in the Kreeger Theater. “To say this is one of the most important stories to put on our stage is a complete understatement,” Smith states. “It’s important to be reminded of a moment—now 35 years ago—when people from very different cultures and perspectives risked their lives and careers and put themselves on the line personally, intellectually and spiritually by sitting down to forge an agreement.
