The Minnesota Lawyer blog asks a terrific question in a post today:
"Should newspapers be restricted in what they can report about a case before it goes to trial? It seems that substantiated, relevant data shouldn’t have to be embargoed for the benefit of one or the other side in a lawsuit."
The question stems from a Hennepin County judge who postponed a trial of a suit filed by two lawyers over the way their former firm distributed $103 million in legal fees from the AOL Time Warner case.
The Star Tribune printed a story on the case on Monday. On Tuesday, a judge delayed the trial.
