United States: A General Counsel’s Guide To Avoiding "Obstruction Of Justice" Liability
09 June 2004
Article by Russell Hayman, Thomas J. Murphy and Michael W. Peregrine
The successful prosecutions of Martha Stewart and Frank Quattrone highlight the increased risk
corporate executives face from "obstruction of justice" and similar offenses. Indeed, as a New York
Times recent headline proclaimed, "In Recent Cases, It’s the Cover-Up, Not the Crime." This path to
proving criminality has long been known to prosecutors, who recognize the difficulty of
substantiating complicity in a complex fraud, and the relative ease of showing that a target misled
investigators or destroyed or tampered with evidence by, for example, encouraging the deletion of
e-mail. Such was the fate of Ms. Stewart, Mr. Quattrone and other subjects of successful U.S. federal
prosecutions for obstruction of justice, including a prominent physician at the University of
Washington and executives at Computer Associates.

Docket Sheets Are Public
Appellate Ruling Gives First Amendment Right
June 9, 2004
By LYNNE TUOHY, The Hartford Courant
The U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday
that the press and public have a First Amendment right
to access the docket sheets that serve as an index to
court files, and revived a media challenge involving
thousands of sealed Connecticut court cases dating back
decades.
U.S. District Court Judge Gerard L. Goettel last
November dismissed a lawsuit filed by The Hartford
Courant and the Connecticut Law Tribune that sought
limited information about the sealed files, saying top
judicial branch officials had no power to undo orders
made by judges to keep those files secret.

AKRON, Ohio The people who enforce the laws in Ohio
don't always abide by the law when it comes to answering public record requests.
In a recent statewide audit conducted by more than 90 media representatives, police departments
in Ohio's 88 counties granted requests for incident reports the same or next day 60 percent of the
time.The rest of the time, officers gave various reasons for not releasing reports: They feared
hurting their cases, wanted to protect victims and witnesses or simply longed to control what they
considered "their" information. About 12 percent of the time, police incorrectly said the incident

Making electronically stored documents legal tender has the potential to simplify the content
management strategies of many large corporations around the world. However, Paul Mullon, marketing
director of Metrofile, believes it could also cause some consternation, specifically in the insurance

Subject: No More Spam From Fakes
Web Titans Seek Standard

NEW YORK -- Names just don't have the value they used to -- at least
when it comes to e-mail.
After all, spammers, virus writers and identity thieves now regularly
affix fake names to their e-mail messages in hopes of conning users into
opening them and evading block lists. Take a message today from
"Sonia Sauders," subject line "Re: Hey cutie." It could have been a note
from a college chum, but was actually a pitch for porn. With billions of
these messages cluttering e-mail in boxes every day, there's simply no
trusting a name anymore.
