    Turning the Camera on Court TV: Does Televising Trials Teach Us Anything About the Real Law?

    Turning the Camera on Court TV: Does Televising Trials Teach Us Anything About the Real Law? ANGELIQUE M. PAUL* I. INTRODUCTION What people think about the law is important because ours is a "public opinion" society, "which makes heavy use of referenda, and in which government does not lift a finger or move a muscle without reading the tea leaves of public desire."' The public's perception of justice influences the courts, the laws, the judges, and essentially the democratic process. So what influences the public's perception of justice? Television. For the majority of Americans, television is the most important source of information, and for many it is the only source of information. 2 This is particularly true when it comes to gathering information about the law. Because the majority of Americans have had no personal experience with the legal system,3 and because the majority of Americans get their information about the world solely from television, 4 the portrayal of justice on television is extremely important not only to the continued viability of the legal system, but also to the individual's understanding of that system. Studies indicate that the * The author would like to thank her parents, David and Lynda Paul, for their unconditional love and support. I David A.

    Law Firm Newswire Attorney Press Releases and Legal News http://www.lawfirmnewswire.com First Chair Award Conference Announces Christopher Darden as Keynote Speaker Christopher Darden, Esq. Chicago, IL (Law Firm Newswire) May 2, 2018 - Christopher Darden will be the keynote speaker at the Annual First Chair Awards Conference, August 29 at the Gleacher Center in Chicago, Illinois. Christopher Darden is perhaps best known for his contributions to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's prosecution team in the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial. The case thrust Darden and his co-counsel Marcia Clark into a media frenzy, with the issue of race hovering over many aspects of the case. In recent years, the trial has become the subject of renewed media attention. In March 2018 Darden was featured on the special, O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession? as part of a panel of experts who added commentary and analysis intercut with sections of a never-before-seen 2006 interview. The Simpson murder case was also revisited in the 2016 FX miniseries The People V. O.J. Simpson and the 10-part ESPN documentary O.J.: Made in America. Darden is a criminal defense attorney at Darden Law Group, APC, where he specializes in white collar, narcotics, homicide, gangs and public corruption cases. He wrote an autobiography, In Contempt, and co-wrote several crime thriller novels including The Last Defense with Dick Lochte. Darden was an adjunct professor of law at Southwestern University School of Law and has appeared on Oprah, Dr. Oz, Today with Megyn Kelly, CNN, Fox News Network and CourtTV.

Joe Sibley of Camara & Sibley asked New York State Supreme Court Judge David Cohen to dismiss six of the claims against his client Giuliani because they constituted “product disparagement,” or calling the software lousy, not defamation. The latter is the charge brought by the company in a lawsuit against Fox, three of its hosts, Giuliani and Sidney Powell. Defendants have asked for the case to be dismissed and their counsel, one by one, had the chance at a long hearing today to say why, followed by rebuttals by Smartmatic’s team. Cohen asked Sibley about one of the Trump attorney’s claims — that, in Venezuela, Smartmatic “’switched votes around subtly, maybe ten percent per district, so you don’t notice it.’ Is there some support in that to show that they can’t even make out a claim for actual malice?” he asked. Here’s Sibley’s response and some of the exchange: Sibley: “I believe in the declaration there’s some discussion of how they did it, that they kind of skimmed votes here and there to flip the votes.” Cohen: “What about Mr.

FOREWORD ISLAM SYMPOSIUM: AN INTRODUCTION ROBERT A. KAHN* I. ISLAM, CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTIES, AND THE CURRENT POLITICAL CLIMATE In early 2009, the University of St. Thomas Law Journal decided to hold a symposium on “Islamic Law and Constitutional Liberty.” One moti- vation for the symposium was the hostile reception given to the Archbishop of Canterbury’s speech calling for the British legal system to take a more positive attitude toward Islamic Law.1 Another motivation arose in Ontario, where opponents of Sharia law outlawed its application in family law-based arbitration following a lengthy campaign.2 In addition to these develop- ments—which bore directly on Islamic law—came a rising tide of Euro- pean laws aimed at Muslim clothing, especially the headscarf and burqa.3 To address the growing assertion that Islam is somehow incompatible with liberal democratic norms, the symposium directed its attention to the challenges, opportunities, and tensions that might exist between Islamic law * Associate Professor of Law, University of St. Thomas School of Law. 1.
