| | What Changes Are Occurring With Regard To Roadside "Drunk Driving" Investigations? | | |
The biggest change is the introduction of video cameras on patrol cars. A videotape that shows a drunken, combative driver, or a driver who can barely stand up on his own, is very convincing to a judge or jury, regardless of how a defendant appears in court. It is very difficult to protest that the officer is misinterpreting the roadside sobriety tests when the jury can see the driver's performance, and perhaps even hear what the driver is saying.

An Arizona attorney may face disciplinary action after an investigation found that she told a client she was channeling his dead wife, then lied about it during an unrelated disciplinary proceeding. The client testified that Charna Johnson pressured him to have a sexual relationship, although she told the investigator that the references to sex were coming from the deceased wife, not herself. The investigator's report recommends that Johnson be suspended for six months.
When it comes to Big Law jobs, Steven Harper has been on both sides of the interviewing table. Harper, an adjunct professor at Northwestern University and a retired Kirkland & Ellis partner, reveals the question he would ask today if he were a law student interviewing for a job, and why.
Batson v. Kentucky, the U.S. Supreme Court precedent that bars discrimination against potential jurors due to their race, gender or ethnic background, can also be used to protect the right of hunters to serve on juries, a New York judge has suggested. The judge called a halt to the trial of a hunter charged with assault for shooting another hunter after the defense attorney issued peremptory challenges to six of 35 potential jurors who had identified themselves as hunters.
