  • Confidentiality Complications
    Confidentiality Complications: How new rules, technologies and corporate practices affect the reporter’s privilege and further demonstrate the need for a federal shield law The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press June 2007 Lucy A. Dalglish, Esq. Gregg P. Leslie, Esq. Elizabeth J. Soja, Esq. 1101 Wilson Blvd., Suite 1100 Arlington, Virginia 22209 (703) 807-2100 Executive Summary The corporate structure of the news media has created new obstacles, both financial and practical, for journalists who must keep promises of confidentiality. Information that once existed only in a reporter’s notebook can now be accessed by companies that have obligations not only to their reporters, but to their shareholders, their other employees, and the public. Additionally, in the wake of an unprecedented settlement in the Wen Ho Lee Privacy Act case, parties can target news media corporations not just for their access to a reporter’s information, but also for their deep pockets. The potential for conflicts of interest is staggering, but the primary concerns of The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press are that: • because of the 21st-century newsroom’s reliance on technology, corporations now have access to notes, correspondence and work-product information that before only existed in a reporter’s notebook; • the new federal “e-discovery” court rules allow litigants to discover vastly more information than a printed page – or even a saved e-mail – would provide during litigation; • while reporters generally only have responsibilities to themselves,

AKRAM FAIZER1 Abstract: Department of Justice (“DOJ”) Special Counsel, Robert S. Mueller, III’s two-volume, 448-page Report on the Investigation into Russian Inter- ference in the 2016 Presidential Election (“the Report”), did an outstanding job in evidencing that President Trump’s actions in office satisfied the fed- eral obstruction of justice standards. However, due to Mueller’s limited brief and his concern for maintaining the proper separation of powers, the Report, submitted confidentially to former Attorney General Barr as required by De- partment of Justice Regulations, abjured a determination as to Presidential criminality.

THE FOUR JURISDICTIONAL ARGUMENTS MADE BY THE GOVERNMENT FAIL TO ACCOUNT FOR THE COURTS’ OWN TREATMENT OF INHERENT SUPERVISORY POWERS AS ESTABLISHING NON-STATUTORY JURISDICTION OVER PUBLIC RIGHTS OF ACCESS. 6 A. Inherent powers doctrine establishes Article III courts’ non-statutory jurisdiction over third party common law and First Amendment right of access motions. 8 1. Like the Supreme Court, every circuit recognizes the inherent power of Article III courts to entertain third party common law and First Amendment public rights of access for judicial records. 10 2. The original court that heard the matter retains jurisdiction, including when the underlying proceedings or records in question are hidden from public view. 13 3. All of these cases proceeded without a separate, statutory cause of action, and with jurisdiction derived directly from the courts’ inherent supervisory powers over common law and First Amendment rights of access. 16 4. The FISC itself has repeatedly recognized that it has jurisdiction over common law and First Amendment right of access claims, based on its inherent powers.
