Journalists are facing subpoenas and even jail to protect their sources, notes and outtakes.  We defend them:

• Filed amicus curiae brief in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of media entities in support of the producer of “America's Most Wanted”, resisting a subpoena to disclose outtakes.  The Ninth Circuit reversed the district court order requiring disclosure.

• Represented Sony Pictures Entertainment to quash a subpoena by Conrad Murray, facing charges of murder of Michael Jackson, seeking rehearsal footage of the "This Is It" tour.

• Represented newspaper reporter who was called as a witness in a criminal trial regarding reporter's interview of defendant and revelation of a confession in a capital murder case.

• Handled case regarding the definition of journalists for the purpose of the reporter's shield.

• Represented client in famous dispute regarding whether a book author could invoke the reporter's shield.
