Law360 (May 1, 2020, 7:35 PM EDT ) The end of social distancing will likely mean the start of unprecedented new public surveillance, putting efforts to halt new outbreaks on a collision course with basic civil liberties.
Each week on Pro Say, Law360 staffers Amber McKinney, Bill Donahue and Alex Lawson bring you inside the newsroom and explain what you need to know about key legal developments.
On this week's episode, we welcome reporter RJ Vogt to discuss the complex legal problems that lie ahead.
Also on this week's show, we break down the accusations that a lawyer tried to extort Toyota and its law firm WilmerHale for $450,000 by threatening to release confidential information after they suspended a document review project due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We also discuss a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court this week that an annotated version of Georgia's official state law code could not be locked up under copyright law, declaring it a "government edict" that must be free for all to use. The 5-4 opinion averted what the majority warned was a "pay-per-law" system.
Finally, we end the show with a truly unfortunate Lynyrd Skynyrd cover performed by Ohio's attorney general.
