Louisville Bar Association Presents Pretrial Publicity: How Much Is Too Much?

Preserving a individual's right to a fair trial necessarily entails some curtailment of the information disseminated about their case prior to trial, particularly where a trial by jury is involved. So how do we balance these competing principles?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 12, 2009 -
The Louisville Bar Association (LBA), in conjunction with the Louisville Society of Professional Journalist, is proud to present “Pretrial Publicity: How Much is Too Much?” on October 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the Bar Center located at 600 W. Main Street.

The first of two programs in the LBA Presidential Series, Pretrial Publicity will host a distinguished panel of journalist and legal professionals including retired Supreme Court Justice Martin Johnstone, WAVE-3 television anchor and reporter Janelle MacDonald, legal reporter for The Courier-Journal Jason Riley and University of Louisville Associate Law Professor Susan Duncan who will present their own unique perspectives on this volatile topic.

This program is free and open to the public. Reservations are recommended as space is limited.  Visit the LBA website for online reservations at www.loubar.org or call (502)583-5314. The program will be preceeded by a welcome reception beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Bar Center featuring complimentary beverages and hors d’oeuvres.
