Using recent news stories as starting points, she will focus upon how this apprehension affects criminal law and procedure and other legal issues (including those implicated by Stephen King’s recent marketing ploys). In so doing, Amanda seeks to give clowns a voice in these trouble times. You can follow Amanda on Twitter at @ClownAtLaw.
