Hayes, declaring that the Constitution provided reporters no privilege from testifying about their confidential sources. This Note uses previously unpublished materials from the Justices' personal files to illustrate the behind-the-scenes deliberations as the Court shifted in ideology from the propress posture established by Justice Hugo Black in the Pentagon Papers case to the anti-privilege position established by Justice Byron White one year later in Branzburg. It also examines the curious concurring opinion of Justice Lewis Powell in Branzburg and subsequent efforts to craft a qualified …

Attorney-Client Relationships In Cyberspace: The Peril And The Promise, Catherine J. Lanctot
Duke Law Journal
Despite the legal profession's historical resistance to technological advances, the burgeoning world of cyberspace is bringing change to the practice of law. As laypeople flock to the Internet to seek help with their legal problems, lawyers are going online to provide such assistance.

Testimonial Privileges And The Preferences Of Friendship, Sanford Levinson
Testimonial Privileges And The Preferences Of Friendship, Sanford Levinson
Duke Law Journal
Professor Levinson distinguishes two difficulties in the law of testimonial privilege. The first is that of identifying the core of concerns that the law of privilege is intended to address.

Discussion of the second difficulty reveals that the law evasively and unthinkingly has compromised the value it would-and ought to-accord to intimate relationships.
