Partner Nina Marino spoke at the 2024 Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference. The fascination with true crime programs and podcasts that explore real-life cases of murder, corruption, fraud, and other crimes has become a phenomenon. 

This program explored:
-Pre-broadcast and production considerations for producers and writers, including potential legal issues related to defamation, invasion of privacy, and access to or use of records.
-Legal threats and cases or controversies concerning issues federal judges may face, whether because the content generates civil cases or spurs prosecutions.
-The impact of these programs and reporting on those outside of the creators and audiences, such as prosecutors, juries, victims, and the media.
