Click here to RSVP for this meeting Sponsors Arts, Entertainment & Sports Law Committee Civil Rights & Civil Liberties Section Massachusetts Practice & Procedure Committee Time & Place Wednesday, March 12, 2008 12:30 pm Boston Bar Association 16 Beacon Street Mike Gass, Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP , will discuss a recent case involving media access to autopsy reports of two firefighters who died while fighting a fire in West Roxbury in August, 2007. The reports revealed traces of drugs and alcohol in the firefighters systems at the time of the fire. Mr. Gass represented WHDH/Channel 7 in opposing a restraining order issued by a Superior Court judge to the firefighters union prohibiting Channel 7's release of the story and prevailed in the SJC. He will discuss both the first amendment and procedural aspects of the case and its impact on the law related to freedom of the press. A part of the Litigation Section, the Massachusetts Practice & Procedure Committee focuses on new developments in Massachusetts civil procedure as well as practical issues affecting practice in Massachusetts courts. The committee holds monthly meetings that usually feature a speaker who provides information that enables litigators to be more effective in their state court appearances. |
