Charles Christopher, Paralegal

Writ Large is researched and written by Charles Christopher, a paralegal employed by Prisoner Legal Aid LLC, a Florida paralegal services company. The work here is federal post-conviction document preparation and legal research — not legal representation.

What this site covers

Writ Large focuses narrowly on federal post-conviction relief and sentence execution:

• Motions to vacate under 28 U.S.C. § 2255
• Habeas petitions under § 2241 (sentence execution) and § 2254 (state judgments)
• Compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)
• First Step Act time credits and BOP sentence computation
• Filing deadlines, procedural default, exhaustion, and the prisoner mailbox rule
• Official federal court forms and filing procedure

How the legal content here is checked

Substantive legal statements are checked against primary authority rather than secondary summaries. In practice that means:

• Statutes are read from the U.S. Code as published by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel.
• Supreme Court decisions are checked against the opinion text, not a summary of it, including the specific holding relied on.
• Federal forms come from uscourts.gov and are linked to their official source. Government forms are never recreated or reformatted here.
• BOP policy is taken from the Bureau of Prisons or the Federal Register.

The full method is set out in the editorial standards.

Attorney oversight

Paralegal document preparation is performed under the oversight of a licensed attorney; the client remains self-represented. Articles on this site are written by a paralegal and are general information, not legal advice.

What you will not find here

• Predictions about how a specific case will come out.
• Any suggestion that hiring anyone changes the odds.
• Guarantees of any kind. Most post-conviction motions are denied, and this site says so where it is relevant.
