p2pnet - rss feed: Duke lacrosse site stays online
p2pnet news | P2P:- Duke University wanted a web site run by student lacrosse players, who are suing the school, shut down.
But US district court judge James Beaty has denied a motion by the University and Durham to, “sanction the site posted by lawyers of the 38 unindicted members of the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team,” says the Duke Chronicle.
“Judge Beatty issued an order which included guidance to both the plaintiffs’ and the defendants’ attorneys about their relations to the news media,” says the Duke Lawsuite site, going on:
“We will study the judge’s guidance and govern ourselves accordingly.”
Dike, “criticized the players’ attorneys for publicizing the case in a U.S. District Court memo filed in late February,” says the Chronicle, continuing:
“They accused the players’ attorneys of violating N.C. State Bar Rule 3.6 - which prohibits extrajudicial statements that “have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding” - in publicizing their suit against Duke.
“The motion cited the plaintiffs’ use of a news conference in Washington, D.C., and a press release to announce the suit. Representatives of the players have also hired Bob Bork - son of Robert Bork, President Ronald Reagan’s 1987 Supreme Court nominee - as a media consultant for the case. The University’s attorneys motioned to sanction www.dukelawsuit.com, a Web site for the case maintained by Bork’s firm, Bork Communications Group.”
