In Tune or Off Key: Law, Government, Constitutional Rights and Responsibilities (2019 Constitutional Rights & Responsibilities and Government & Public Sector Sections Annual Meetings)


Fine-tuning the relationships between the law, attorneys, citizens, government and the Constitution can seem as if it requires that perfect pitch so few of us have. The maestros in the sound booth adjust the volume, tone, rhythm and other elements of music, musicians and instruments as they record.

Similarly, attorneys work to adjust the sometimes-competing elements of the music of our law, government and democracy, leading to harmony or discord.

This manuscript presents a concert of topics dealing with the legal music of our lives.

Topics include:

  • Information regarding Section 1983, government and citizen suits
  • Protecting voting rights and empowering citizens in environmentally vulnerable areas
  • Data privacy and legal ethics
  • Administrative searches and warrants
  • Injunctive relief when citizens participate in democracy
  • Protecting rights and citizens from debtors prison
