This is a lot like studying for a new job and the time has come for you to enter the workforce. To continue you need the tools of your trade. This book contains the many motions, with explanations, I have synthesized over the years to gain relief on the behalf of many prisoners. I have included the actual documents I have used and many documents that have been updated to comply with the current precedents. This book is your toolbox.

This book that you now hold is the final installment of the Post-Conviction Relief series. It contains a great deal of information about the post-conviction relief process in both State and Federal proceedings.
