About
“Fight ‘Em ‘Til We Can’t” is a blog about Montana criminal defense practice and law. Its creators hope it will become a useful resource for the Montana criminal defense bar by offering news and analysis of recent crimlaw decisions from around the state, as well as discussion of crimlaw decisions and trends from around the country. As public defenders, contract attorneys, and other defense practitioners, we know that there’s a lot of experience and wisdom out there, but currently there’s no good way for that experience and wisdom to circulate among practitioners throughout the state. With your help, we’ll change that. If it works, our jobs will become easier even as we become better at doing them, with the end result being better representation for our clients.
At the moment we’re just getting things started, but if you have any feedback to offer or would like to jump in and become a part of the blog to help it grow, please let us know.
Contribute! “Fight ‘Em ‘Til We Can’t” welcomes your contributions. The easiest way to contribute is by offering a comment or opinion or asking a question in the comments to a post. In addition, we welcome your guest posts and commentary on any subject related to criminal law. That includes contrasting views or insights from prosecutors and critics of our justice system. If you’d like to be a guest or even a regular contributor to this blog, again, just let us know.
About the name: The title of the blog comes from Battlestar Galactica at the end of season 2. At that point in the show the humans have decided to settle permanently on “New Caprica,” thinking that they are safe from the Cylons there. Unfortunately, the humans are wrong, the Cylons land and take over, occupying the human settlement by force. As the Cylons march through the streets, Chief Tyrol asks Starbuck, “So what do you want to do now, Captain?” And she responds: “The same thing we always do: Fight ‘em until we can’t.”

[...] One editorial note: “Fight ‘Em ‘Til We Can’t” ended up with a nomination in the category of “Best Title of a Blog That Has Nothing To Do With The Job.” I’d only point out that the title of this blog was, in fact, intended to reflect something (a good deal, I thought) about the job. See “About the name” on the bottom of this page. I guess if it needs an explanation, it just doesn’t work… blogging meta Uncategorized [...]
