33. They might want to go to the library and check the local paper

In many papers, court reports are listed. They list the crime and the penalty. If the local judges, are giving out fines for posession, they might be alright with out a lawyer. Obviously if the judge is giving out jail time, they might want to get a lawyer. They might want to talk to a lawyer anyway because of the stupid federal financial aid rule that makes drug offenders ineligible.
Do they know exactly what they were charged with? That could be important.
