Schwab v. Klein, Docket No. OCN-L-2695-18

CJ Griffin filed an amicus curiae brief on behalf of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and ten media organizations in a defamation case where a blogger claimed the Newsperson's Privilege, more commonly known as she "Shield Law," and refused to be deposed. Our amicus brief argued that the Shield Law applies to journalists connected with nontraditional news media outlets, including blogs, and that it protects reporters' sources of information and any information obtained in the course of their professional.

Our firm is proud of the results it has achieved for clients, some of which are noted here.  Of course, each legal matter is unique on many levels, and past successes are not a guarantee of results in any other pending or future matters.
