Advocacy In The Media: The Blagojevich Defense And A Reformulation Of Rule 3.6, Leigh A. Krahenbuhl Oct 2011

Advocacy In The Media: The Blagojevich Defense And A Reformulation Of Rule 3.6, Leigh A. Krahenbuhl

Duke Law Journal

The current ethical rule governing lawyers' interactions with the media applies equally to defense attorneys and prosecutors despite their different roles and responsibilities in the justice system. With a focus on the Blagojevich trial as an example of modern lawyers' interactions with the press, this Note argues for a separate rule governing defense lawyers' extrajudicial speech. Such a rule would recognize an interest in protecting the legitimacy of the justice system and would provide clear standards to guide defense lawyers' advocacy outside of the courtroom. This Note provides an overview of the development of the trial-publicity rules, a glimpse of …

Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr., And The Counterrevolution In The Federal Securities Laws, A. C. Pritchard Mar 2003

Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr., And The Counterrevolution In The Federal Securities Laws, A. C. Pritchard

Duke Law Journal

The confirmation of Lewis F. Powell, Jr., to the Supreme Court coincided with a dramatic shift in the Court's approach to securities law. This Article documents Powell's influence in changing the Court's direction in securities law. Powell's influence was the product of his extensive experience with the securities laws as a corporate lawyer, which gave him much greater familiarity with that body of law than his fellow Justices had. That experience also made him skeptical of civil liability, particularly class and derivative actions. Powell's skepticism led him to interpret the securities law in a consistently narrow fashion to reduce liability …

Miranda’S Final Frontier—The International Arena: A Critical Analysis Of United States V. Bin Laden, And A Proposal For A New Miranda Exception Abroad, Mark A. Godsey Apr 2002

Miranda’S Final Frontier—The International Arena: A Critical Analysis Of United States V. Bin Laden, And A Proposal For A New Miranda Exception Abroad, Mark A. Godsey

Duke Law Journal

In recent years, the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies have greatly expanded their presence abroad, investigating everything from narcotics trade and Internet fraud schemes to terrorism. Where this law enforcement activity includes custodial interrogation of non-American citizens abroad, must American law enforcement officials provide Miranda warnings to such suspects? In 2001 in United States v. Bin Laden, a federal district court held that the Fifth Amendment's privilege against self-incrimination applies to non-American citizens interrogated abroad, thus requiring Miranda warnings in this context. This Article criticizes the Bin Laden court's strict application of Miranda and suggests that Miranda should …

Unfriendly Persuasion: Enjoining Residential Picketing, Hazel A. Landwehr Oct 1993

Unfriendly Persuasion: Enjoining Residential Picketing, Hazel A. Landwehr

Duke Law Journal

Imagine that one pleasant Sunday afternoon, you look out your window and see a group of twenty to fifty people picketing on the street in front of your home. The picketers are carrying signs that name you. Although the gathering is ''peaceful,'' the very presence of the crowd is threatening, prompting you to close your windows, draw your blinds, and keep your family in the house until,the picketers leave. Now imagine that these same picketers, in greater or lesser numbers, re-create this same event at your home every Sunday afternoon. What should be a day of rest spent with your …
