Fourth Amendment Background Principles
In a pro-con argument, two defense lawyers debate a former Department of Justice prosecutor on the ramifications of legislation designed to protect American industry from theft of trade secrets.

By Joseph F. Savage, Jr., Matthew A. Martel, and Marc J. Zwillinger

The author discusses the process for the work and the significant changes. He also lists where and how the public can comment on the proposals.

Drug court procedures appear to turn the prosecutor’s job on its head—asking them to forgo their role as advocates and asking them to work as a court team in order to get repeat offenders into effective treatment. The author demonstrates that prosecutors can maintain their ethical duties while accommodating the special needs of drug offenders.
