Will Defense Lawyers Accept Help on High Court Criminal Cases?

The Supreme Court is generally viewed as a place where novices fear to tread. But in the criminal defense bar, where individuality and swagger reign, some hold onto the romantic notion that if they can conquer a hometown jury, they can work the same charm on the nine justices. That can be a mistake. And anyone looking to upgrade criminal defense advocacy before the high court faces cultural and institutional obstacles. Says one attorney, "There's a lone-wolf quality" to criminal defense lawyers.

High Court Reins In RICO

Although the U.S. Supreme Court last week ducked the questions everyone expected it to answer in two unrelated challenges under RICO, high court observers viewed the outcome basically as a victory for anti-civil RICO forces. The issues not resolved -- the scope of the "enterprise" definition in RICO and whether "reliance" is required in RICO mail and wire fraud claims -- will continue to divide the lower courts and inevitably return to the Supreme Court, according to RICO litigators and scholars.

Leak of CIA Officer's Identity Tests Executive Privilege Issues

For attorneys working in the Bush White House, the launch last week of a Justice Department investigation into who disclosed the identity of a CIA officer presents an unfamiliar and unwelcome set of problems. As the probe proceeds, the White House counsel and his staff will have to make decisions about what to hand over and what to shield -- sticky issues for an administration that has been unyielding on assertions of executive privilege.

In Win for Drug Manufacturers, 3rd Circuit Rules Only FDA Can Regulate Ads

In a big win for drug manufacturers, the 3rd Circuit has ruled that federal law bars a suit alleging false-advertising claims under state law because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has "exclusive authority" to regulate prescription drug advertising. But a dissenting judge complained that such "implied conflict pre-emption" of state law was unwarranted since the FDA doesn't have the power to require pre-approval of ads and lacks the resources to police the ads that run after drugs are approved.
