Blanchard Road: A Murder in the Finger Lakes

The story of Roy A. Brown’s conviction for a murder he didn’t commit was retold in the documentary film “Blanchard Road: A Murder in the Finger Lakes”  After the film, a discussion took place with Brown and Alex Dunbar, one of the independent filmmakers.

Brown is a former Cayuga County resident freed in 2007 after serving 14 years in state prison. Brown was convicted of the 1991 killing of Cayuga County social worker Sabina Kulakowski. Her body was found outside her home on Blanchard Road in Aurelius, N.Y. She had been beaten and stabbed. Bite marks were found on her body. Her house had been set on fire.

Brown eventually solved the crime himself while still in prison, studying documents he obtained from his case file. That evidence led him to suspect Barry Bench, the brother of Kulakowski’s former boyfriend. Bench committed suicide in 2003.

The event, which was free and open to the public, was co-sponsored by the Carnegie Legal Reporting Program at the Newhouse School, the College of Law and the Institute for the Study of the Judiciary, Politics, and the Media at Syracuse University.

Reinforcing Federal Law: The Designer Courthouses In Massachusetts and their Meaning for the First Circuit

John Brigham
Professor of Political Science
UMass Amherst

Professor Brigham examined the federal courthouse building-boom of the late 20th and early 21st century in the United States as an extension of national authority. He focused on a particular jurisdiction, the First Circuit, and two new designer courts, the Moakley Courthouse in Boston designed by Henry Cobb and the Springfield District Court designed by Moshe Safti.  Construction of these buildings has implications for the four New England States in the Circuit and Puerto Rico, injecting an increased federal presence that suggests different political orientations in these specific places. These courthouses are also particular cases of a larger phenomenon in which billions of dollars have been spent on federal courts with little public discussion.

Law, Politics, and the Media 2009 Lecture Series

The American judicial system today operates in a complex environment of legal principle, political pressure, and media coverage. The separate elements of this complex environment are typically studied by different groups of individuals working from different perspectives. Law faculty tend to focus on legal principle; political scientists examine the influence of politics; and scholars of public communications assess the media.

The goal of this lecture series was to serve as an introduction to the court system and its environment as a single, integrated subject of study. The lecture series featured sitting judges, practicing lawyers, and working journalists. Each of the lectures was be held in Room 204 at the Syracuse University College of Law from 3:50 p.m. to 5:10 p.m.

Bush's Law: A conversation with a Pulitzer-winning author
Does the war on terror demand new methods of surveillance, interrogation, and justice? Are U.S. laws and courts behind the times? Or has the administration violated the law and abandoned American principles to pursue a new kind of enemy? Eric Lichtblau discussed his newly published book, "Bush's Law: The Remaking of American Justice" (Pantheon), which includes new details on the pressure brought by the Bush administration against The New York Times to prevent the publication of Lichtblau's Pulitzer Prize-winning revelations exposing secret surveillance programs in the war on terror. Sponsored by the Carnegie Legal Reporting Program and the Institute for the Study of the Judiciary, Politics and the Media.

"Supreme Makeover: Inventing a New Model of Judicial Openness on the High Court?"
Although the Supreme Court has shown some signs of becoming a more media friendly institution, the justices still strongly resist the introduction of television cameras into their court. At the same time, many of the justices seem more willing than ever to grant television interviews and make media appearances off the bench. What can be made of the fact that the justices are increasingly putting themselves in the news even as they keep the media away from the Court? And how well are other media covering the Court in an era of dwindling news budgets but burgeoning law-blog activity?

On the eve of Chief Justice John Roberts' First Amendment speech at SU, a distinguished panel of insiders gathered to debate the relationship between Court tradition, modern-day news coverage, and public image-making. This event -- part of a yearlong celebration of the First Amendment to mark the opening of Newhouse III -- featured an address by Slate.com's Dahlia Lithwick, plus a panel discussion with Ben Wittes of Brookings, The Atlantic Monthly, and The Washington Post and veteran Supreme Court reporter Tony Mauro.

This event was moderated by Mark Obbie and was cosponsored by the Syracuse University College of Law and the Carnegie Legal Reporting Program at Newhouse.  "Supreme Makeover" was also a part of Syracuse Symposium, a semester-long festival focused on the issue of Justice.

"Are Federal Judges Political? Views from the Academy, the Bench, and the Press"
Although the United States Supreme Court attracts the lion's share of public attention and political criticism, the fact is that only a tiny fraction of federal cases make it onto the high court's docket each year. On a large number of pressing disputes, it is the lower federal courts that have the final word. What role does politics play in determining who sits on the lower federal courts and how decisions on these courts are made? Should we be more concerned about the partisan preferences that shape those legal issues the U.S. Supreme Court does not consider?

Judge Carolyn Dineen King, first female Chief Judge of the U. S. Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit; Professor Nancy Scherer of Wellesley College, author of Scoring Points: Politicians, Political Activists and the Lower Federal Court Appointment Process; and Charlotte Grimes, Knight Chair at S.I Newhouse School of Public Communications joined us for a discussion that was moderated by Keith J. Bybee. This event was co-sponsored by Syracuse University's College of Law.

"Jail for Journalists: Freedom of the Press, Confidential Sources, and the Demands of Criminal Justice"
In December 2004, television journalist Jim Taricani was sentenced to six months home confinement for refusing to divulge his sources to prosecutors heading up the "Plunderdome" corruption probe in Rhode Island.

Jim Taricani, Investigative Reporter for WJAR-TV in Providence, Rhode Island, joined us to debate Dan French, former United States Attorney for the Northern District of New York, over the freedom of the press and its limits. This discussion was moderated by Keith J. Bybee and co-sponsored by the Carnegie Legal Reporting Program at Newhouse.

"The Media's Effect on Judicial Independence: A Kaleidoscopic View"
Once the youngest member of the Tennessee Supreme Court, Penny White lost her seat in one of the most bitterly contested retention elections in state history — an election that turned on White's participation in a Supreme Court decision overturning a death sentence.  White, now Interim Director of the Center for Advocacy and Associate Professor of Law at the University of Tennessee, joined us to discuss how the media tends to portray — and distort — the image of judges and their decisions.

A lecture by Penny White, Interim Director of the Center for Advocacy and Associate Professor of Law at the University of Tennessee. This event was co-sponsored by Syracuse University's College of Law.

"The Last Umpires? The News Media, the ABA and Other Independent Voices in the Federal Judicial Confirmation Process"
Can there really be "independent voices" in a judicial appointments process that is shot through with partisan considerations? If so, what is the role of such voices? Has this role changed over time? Are there any nonpartisan actors that ought to be given greater participation in the confirmation of federal judges?

A panel discussion moderated by Lisa Dolak. Panelists included: Steve Tober, Former Chair of the ABA Standing Committee on Federal Judiciary; Lee Epstein, Beatrice Kuhn Professor of Law at the Northwestern University School of Law; and Lyle Denniston, Reporter, SCOTUSblog. This event was co-sponsored by the Sawyer Law and Politics Program at Maxwell.

"Lacrosse Justice: Gender, Race, and Fairness in the Duke Lacrosse Legal Saga"
Did politics and publicity railroad the Duke lacrosse defendants? Or were their accusers treated unfairly? In America, who fares better when a criminal trial becomes a media circus?

"Bench Press: The Collision of Media, Politics, Public Pressure and an Independent Judiciary"
On October 17-18, 2005 in Washington, D.C., Syracuse University brought together over twenty leading voices from the academy, law, and the media to discuss the current status of judicial independence in the United States. “Bench Press: The Collision of Media, Politics, Public Pressure, and an Independent Judiciary,” provided a multifaceted examination of the topic, including a unique look at the media’s influence on the judiciary and politics at the state and federal level.

Co-sponsored by Syracuse University's College of Law, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, and S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, the “Bench Press” symposium was a truly interdisciplinary event that pulled federal and state judges, law professors, political scientists, pundits, and journalists into a shared discussion of the issues. The discussion was organized around a national survey of public attitudes toward the judiciary — a survey that was commissioned for the symposium and conducted by the Maxwell School.

The “Bench Press” symposium was held shortly after John Roberts was confirmed as chief justice of the Supreme Court and before Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination for a seat on the Supreme Court, prior to confirmation hearings. Because of its timing and its distinguished roster of participants, the symposium garnered a good deal of press coverage, including a live broadcast by CSPAN. The symposium also led to a collection of essays written by symposium participants. The volume, Bench Press: the Collision of Courts, Politics, and the Media, is edited by Keith J. Bybee and will be published by Stanford University Press in 2007.

The Institute for the Study of the Judiciary, Politics, and the Media grows directly out of the “Bench Press” symposium. IJPM shares the symposium’s commitment to interdisciplinary discussion and analysis.
