Basics of Federal Corpus Review - a tiktok Video series

Tiktok is certainly not a medium that most people think of as being “lawyerly,” but it has often seemed to me that the legal world needs to do a better job of explaining what’s going on to regular people. Federal habeas corpus review of state criminal convictions is an area of law that many people struggle with, and this 4-part series tries to give a very basic introduction to that field.
