Lillian BeVier appeared on a Sept. 9 NPR "Talk of the Nation" show about the politics of judicial nominations and spoke of her frustration in never receiving a hearing on her nomination to the Fourth Circuit by George H.W. Bush. Asked if there is life after nomination, she replied: "Well, if you're lucky enough to have really what is the most wonderful job in the world, which is to be a law professor, there certainly is."

An Oct. 16 Richmond Times-Dispatch story on a recent U.Va. study recommending that people stay at home rather than try to flee in the event of a bioterrorist attack included comments from Richard Bonnie, one of the study's authors. "We have the opportunity to plan in a systematic way but we shouldn't waste any time," he said. "We're trying to organize people's individual response and the public's response in aggregate and to maximize the public's own participation." In an Oct. 26 Washington Post story on the minds of murderers such as the D.C.-area snipers, Bonnie asked "What leads people to do real evil things? You have to grapple with genes and the environment."

Anne Coughlin was quoted in a Sept. 3 Associated Press feature on the "highest court in the land," the basketball court on the top floor of the Supreme Court building, saying "You have the best legal job in the country and, oh my gosh, there's basketball, too." In an Oct. 31 Associated Press story on the sniper prosecution, she commented on the difficulty of finding an unbiased jury: "This was a case where the national publicity was so intense it was as if we were all one community."

Earl Dudley was quoted in an Oct. 29 Knight Ridder Washington Bureau story on jurisdictional issues in the sniper case, commenting on the competition among prosecutors to run the first trial and garner the attendant publicity. "Whoever gets to go first gets the biggest bang out of it. After that, interest will fall off," he said.

John Harrison was quoted in several stories on the court battle over Frank Lautenberg replacing Robert Toricelli on the New Jersey Senate ballot. In an Oct. 3 Associated Press story, he commented that the Supreme Court would be unlikely to intervene, saying "You can't say we've got a constitutional crisis and somebody's got to bail the country out." He also discussed the topic in Oct. 4 and Oct. 7 Dow Jones News Service stories.

Stan Henderson was quoted in a Sept. 1 Roanoke Times & World News story on the state of union organizing efforts in Virginia, a right-to-work state with deeply rooted anti-unionism. "Generally, across Virginia, employers campaign against unions, using the traditional tactics of calling union workers a bunch of thugs who are tied to the Mafia and abuse power," he said. "They're usually called outsiders, not local people."

A. E. Dick Howard has been quoted in several news stories in the past two months. In a Sept. 12 Washington Post article on the effect congressional hearings on the Sept. 11th attacks might have on the Zacarias Moussaoui trial, he noted that the hearings "might actually make it more plausible for the defense to make a motion" claiming the trial had been prejudiced. In Oct. 4 Knight Ridder and Reuters stories on the new Supreme Court term, he drew attention to the University of Michigan affirmative action ruling, saying "That's the case to watch. It will test the soul of the present court." Howard also discussed the New Jersey Senate controversy in an Oct. 3 Bloomberg News story; proposed amendments to the Virginia Constitution in the Oct. 9 Rural Virginian and the Oct. 15 Virginian-Pilot; and the sniper case in the Oct. 22 Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Michael Klarman's comments at the Missouri Bar's annual conference were covered in the Sept. 13 Kansas City Star and the Sept. 15 St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The latter story reported on his remarks that Americans should be just as mistrustful of their government's motives in the post-9/11 era as they are during nonemergency periods. He noted that the motives of the protection of their people and the re-election of the politicians in power can easily be intertwined, saying "How can you have a democratic system when the opposition party has its motives questioned when it tries to criticize the administration in power?"

David Martin was quoted in two stories on immigration policies in the Sept. 4 Atlanta Journal and Constitution. He noted that "Immigration remedies may prove only a marginal contribution to the anti-terrorism struggle," and commented that new procedures such as fingerprinting and tracking systems may give people a false sense of security: "If you're talking about a sophisticated terrorist operation, I really think it would be rare that tighter immigration controls would identify him." Martin was also quoted in a Sept. 11 Florence Morning News article on judicial scrutiny of anti-terrorism law enforcement measures, saying that the government's war on terrorism is loosely defined and characterized by "hazy" enemies and shifting boundaries. Acknowledging that a certain amount of deference is due the government in times of crisis, he added "There's certainly an argument to be made in times of war for (allowing) the president to detain people."

An Oct. 27 Associated Press story on Justice John Paul Stevens included comments from his former clerk George Rutherglen, who said that Stevens's "manner deceives some people because he's quite understated and almost genial, but he's very forceful about taking a position and adhering to it."

Larry Walker was quoted in a Sept. 8 Durham Herald-Sun story on a federal Judgment Fund used to pay damage awards in government tort and contract suits. Others criticized the lack of accountability in that agencies do not have to reimburse the fund to pay for their errors, but Walker noted: "It's a form of equaling out those folks unfortunate enough to be harmed by the government instead of being harmed by private citizens."
