New California Court Rule 11-00 Client Advisory November 2000 New California Court Rule Expands Public Access to Court Records In a vote that expands public access to court records, the California Judicial Council on October 27 adopted new rules to govern how California courts must handle requests to seal trial and appellate court records. The new rules, which will amend the California Rules of Court applicable to all state courts, will become effective on January 1, 2001. Strict Showing Required The new rules state: Unless confidentiality is required by law, trial court records are presumed to be open. State court judges no longer will be permitted to seal court records simply because both sides in a lawsuit agree to it. Once the rule becomes effective, a trial court will have to make the following specific findings before sealing records: l There exists an overriding interest that overcomes the right of public access to the record; l The overriding interest supports sealing the record; l A substantial probability exists that the overriding interest will be prejudiced if the record is not sealed; l The proposed sealing is narrowly tailored; and l No less restrictive means exist to achieve the overriding interest. The Judicial Council considered the issue of public access to court files at the request of the California Supreme Court, following its 1999 decision in NBC Subsidiary (KNBC-TV), Inc. v. Superior Court, 20 Cal.4th 1178 (1999). In that highly publicized court battle, Sondra Locke sued Clint Eastwood for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and other claims arising from his alleged promise to assist Locke in the development of motion picture projects. At the commencement of the trial, the court issued orders excluding the public and the press from all courtroom proceedings held outside the presence of the jury and sealing the transcripts of those proceedings. The California Supreme Court held that the right of public access to trials applies to civil as well as criminal proceedings. It concluded that civil trials are presumptively open and laid out the narrow circumstances that might warrant the closure of a court proceeding. The court noted that [n]umerous reviewing courts likewise have found a First Amendment right of access to civil litigation documents filed in court as a basis of adjudication. At the same time, however, the Supreme Court also observed that [b]y contrast, decisions have held that the First Amendment does not compel public access to discovery materials that are neither used at trial nor submitted as a basis for adjudication. The new rules virtually mirror the Supreme Courts opinion. Consistent with the Supreme Courts ruling in NBC Subsidiary, the new rules expressly do not apply to discovery motions and records filed in connection with such motions. But it appears from the new rules that a formal sealing order will be required in connection with most other court proceedings, including motions for preliminary injunction and summary judgment. The Supreme Court decision identified a number of interests that have historically overridden the publics right of access, including the protection of trade secrets and the enforcement of binding contractual obligations not to disclose. These interests might continue to support the closure of proceedings and the sealing of records even under the new rules. At a minimum, corporate litigants should assume For the time being, the new that blanket protection for documents produced rules will not affect during litigation will become increasingly difficult confidential settlements to obtain . reached out of court or documents obtained by litigants during discovery but not introduced during a trial. But the enactment of the rules may make California judges more reluctant to issue protective orders based upon the agreement of the litigants, even if such stipulations do not attempt to restrict public access to documents filed in court. Moreover, the Judicial Council is conducting an ongoing examination of its authority to issue rules that would affect such settlements and discovery, which it plans to complete in the next few weeks. Steps to Consider In light of the impending new rules and the Judicial Councils consideration of additional rules governing the confidentiality of out-of-court settlements and information exchanged during civil discovery, businesses should consider taking immediate measures in pending litigation to maximize their ability to protect sensitive documents and information. Among other things, corporate litigants may want to negotiate and seek court approval of protective orders governing the use of discovery before the new rules go into effect, even if there is no present need for such protection. It also may be advisable to make clear in any stipulated protective orderwhether negotiated now or after the new rules are implementedthat it is intended to affect documents and information exchanged during discovery only and does not restrict in any way the use or disclosure of discovery during trial or other court proceedings. In addition, a stipulation for entry of a protective order should make clear that the parties intend to be bound by it and comply with all of its provisions whether or not a court approves it. At a minimum, corporate litigants should assume that blanket protection for documents produced during litigation will become increasingly difficult to obtain and should begin to distinguish circumstances in which the confidentiality of documents is truly essential from those in which such protection is merely desirable. 2 Businesses that anticipate future litigation in California ought to give some thought to incorporating confidentiality provisions into their agreements whenever possible. It is conceivable that such provisions will be upheld if they were a material part of the parties bargain at the time a deal was made and not simply an after-the-fact concession made to facilitate litigation discovery. Finally, corporations may want to take steps to imbue sensitive financial, strategic planning and Finally, corporations may other records with the attributes of trade want to take steps to secrets. imbue sensitive financial, strategic planning and other records with the attributes of trade secrets. Although trade secrets are more commonly associated with secret recipes and customer lists, the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (adopted in California as a portion of the Civil Code) actually defines a trade secret more broadly to include information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process that derives independent economic value . from not being generally known to the public and that is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. A great deal of the information generated by a corporation, while not a formula, technique or process, may derive economic value from not being known to competitors. Summary The California Supreme Court and the Judicial Council have made it substantially more difficult to close court proceeding and to shield portions of the court record from public scrutiny. They have not yet established rules affecting confidential out-of-court settlements or confidential documents exchanged during litigation discovery, but it seems likely that such rules will be considered in the not-too-distant future. It would be wise for businesses to prepare for that possibility now. 3 Los Angeles Litigation Practice Stuart H. Baggish, Partner Jeremy J. F. Gray, Partner Zia F.

S ondra Locke was an actor, producer, director and talented singer. But it was her destiny to be linked forever with Clint Eastwood, whose partner she was from the mid-1970s to the late 1980s. She was a sexy, charismatic performer with a tough, lean look who starred alongside Eastwood in hit movies like The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Gauntlet, Every Which Way But Loose (in which she sang her own songs — also for the sequel Any Which Way You Can) and Bronco Billy. But the pair became trapped in one of the most notoriously toxic relationships in Hollywood history, an ugly, messy and abusive overlap of the personal and professional — a case of love gone sour and mentorship gone terribly wrong.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 301 896 CS 506 482 AUTHOR Novak, Glenn D. TITLE Social Ills and the One-Man Solution: Depictions of Evil in the Vigilante Film. PUB DATE Nov 87 NOTE 20p.; Paper presented at the International Conference on the Expressions of Evil in Literature and the Visual Arts (Atlanta, GA, November 6-8, 1987). PUB TYPE Reports - Research/Technical (143) -- Speeches /Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MFO1 /PCO1 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Citizen Role; Content Analysis; *Film Study; Media Research; Popular Culture; Social Problems; Urban Culture; *Urban Problems; Victims of Crime IDENTIFIERS *Evil; Film Genres; *Vigilante Films ABSTRACT Depictions of evil in the modern American vigilante film of the 1970s and 1980s fall into several categories. Modern vigilante film may be defined as film concerning the efforts of a private citizen in the late twentieth century urban environments of New York City or Los Angeles to operate outside the law in ridding the streets of evil and crime. Examples of such films include the "Death Wish" trilogy, and "Sudden Impact." Categories of depictions of evil include: (1) expressions of evil in society (the breakdown of social order, wicked youth, corrupt justice systems); (2) expressions of evil in the appearance of the criminal and in the behavior of the criminal; and (3) the protagonist as evil (discussing the moral and physical journey from respectable, normal citizen through physical danger and moral ambiguity to excessive, contemptible violence, i.e. the transformation from goodness through amorality to evil). The social implications of evil in the vigilante film include increased fear of victimization as a result of watching violence on television and in films, and the blurring of the distinction between good and evil.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Working Girls: The History of Women Directors in 1970s Hollywood A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television by Maya Montanez Smukler 2014 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Working Girls: The History of Women Directors in 1970s Hollywood by Maya Montanez Smukler Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Television University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Janet L. Bergstrom, Chair This dissertation examines the relationship between the feminist movement and Hollywood during the 1970s, specifically as it impacted the hiring practices and creative output of women directors working in the film industry. Due to the activism of the feminist movement, in particular the feminist reform efforts of the Women’s Committees of Hollywood’s professional guilds—the Directors Guild, the Screen Actors Guild, and the Writers Guild—the number of women directors in 1970s Hollywood began to increase compared to previous decades. From the mid-1930s till the mid-1960s, only two women filmmakers had careers as directors in Hollywood: Dorothy Arzner and Ida Lupino. This research reveals that between 1966 and 1980 there were at least fifteen women making movies in the commercial film industry: Karen Arthur, Anne Bancroft, Joan Darling, Lee Grant, Barbara Loden, Elaine May, Barbara Peeters, Joan Rivers, ii Stephanie Rothman, Beverly Sebastian, Joan Micklin Silver, Joan Tewkesbury, Jane Wagner, Nancy Walker, and Claudia Weill. However, in spite of this increase, the overall numbers were bleak. Women directed only 0.19 percent of the 7,332 feature films made between 1949 and 1979.

Med sextionio filmer1 och femtiofem år i branschen så är Clint Eastwood fortfarande ett namn som drar folk och han har inte blivit sämre med åren utan snarare bättre, som ett gott rött vin som smakar desto bättre ju längre tiden går. Att kartlägga en regissörs liv och arbete är svårt då det hela tiden finns motsägande uppgifter runtomkring personen i fråga. Det har inte varit en helt rak väg fram tills idag, men det är de som gör honom så fascinerande. Eastwood var 41 år gammal när han regisserade sin första film och under åren som har gått har han hunnit regisserat trettiofyra stycken.2 Med tre filmer som har dragit in över hundra miljoner 3, Unforgiven(De skoningslösa, 1992), Million Dollar Baby(2004) och Gran Torino(2008) och ett antal Oscars nomineringar senare, förstår man varför Eastwood är en fantastisk regissör och skådespelare. Clint Eastwood säger ”You have to trust your instincts. There's a moment when an actor has it, and he knows it.

  • LOCKE V. WARNER BROS. California Court of Appeal 57 Cal
    LOCKE v. WARNER BROS. California Court of Appeal 57 Cal. App. 4th 354, 66 Cal. Rptr. 2d 921 (1997) Opinion by Klein, P. J., with Kitching and Aldrich, JJ., concurring. KLEIN, P. J. Plaintiffs and appellants Sondra Locke (Locke) and Caritas Films, a California corporation (Caritas) (sometimes collectively referred to as Locke) appeal a judgment following a grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant and respondent Warner Bros., Inc. (Warner). The essential issue presented is whether triable issues of material fact are present which would preclude summary judgment. We conclude triable issues are present with respect to whether Warner breached its development deal with Locke by categorically refusing to work with her, and whether Warner fraudulently entered into said agreement without the intention to work with Locke. The judgment therefore is reversed as to the second and fourth causes of action and otherwise is affirmed. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND 1. Locke's dispute with Eastwood. In 1975, Locke came to Warner to appear with Clint Eastwood in The Outlaw Josey Wales (Warner Bros. 1976). During the filming of the movie, Locke and Eastwood began a personal and romantic relationship. For the next dozen years, they lived in Eastwood's Los Angeles and Northern California homes. Locke also appeared in a number of Eastwood's films. In 1986, Locke made her directorial debut in Ratboy (Warner Bros. 1986). In 1988, the relationship deteriorated, and in 1989 Eastwood terminated it. Locke then brought suit against Eastwood, alleging numerous causes of action. That action was resolved by a November 21, 1990, settlement agreement and mutual general release.
