FEAR's Brief
Bank
FEAR has an online Brief Bank, available by subscription only,
which contains a collection of motions,
pleadings, discovery
documents, and appellate briefs -- as well as other research materials
for forfeiture lawyers and pro se victims. Access
to the Brief Bank is one of the benefits of FEAR membership. Once you
pay your $35 dues to join FEAR, call the FEAR phone number for the
password to the Brief Bank. We waive the fees for indigent
victims forced to represent themselves in forfeiture cases.
We need attorneys to donate
their forfeiture motions, pleadings, briefs, discovery requests, etc.
to our collection. In return we offer free listing in in our
Attorney Directory. For more information e-mail Lawyer
