Scholars and journalists are eagerly anticipating the scheduled March 4 release of the papers of the late Justice Harry Blackmun, likely to be an unprecedented treasure trove of inside information about the Supreme Court.
One motivation behind the unusual arrangement appeared to be a desire to avoid the media melee that followed the release of Justice Thurgood Marshall's papers immediately after his death in 1993.
Also included in the release will be more than 30 hours of oral history interviews conducted by Koh, as well as Blackmun's Federal Bureau of Investigation file, according to the index at the library.

 Sierra Legal Media Release - Oncomouse
OTTAWA – Today, one of Canada's leading environmental organizations, the Sierra Club of Canada, with legal representation provided by the Sierra Legal Defence Fund, welcomes news that it has been granted the right to intervene in a precedent setting case before the Supreme Court of Canada regarding the patenting of genetically modified animals.
As a result of a decision by Justice Louise Arbour, the groups are being allowed to intervene in the appeal of a Federal Court of Appeal decision allowing the patenting of animals containing a gene designed to make them susceptible to cancer.
They will seek to overturn the controversial decision to allow the patenting of genetically modified animals and ensure that the ethically-complex debate as to whether genetically-altered 'higher' life forms should be patented can take place in Parliament, rather than being resolved by the courts under old legislation that does not contemplate recent advances in biotechnology.

 The Campaign Legal Center: Press Release: Campaign Finance Groups File New FEC Complaint Charging ACT Has Engaged in ...
Democracy 21, The Campaign Legal Center and the Center for Responsive Politics filed a new complaint today with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), alleging that America Come Together (ACT), a pro-Democratic 527 group, "has engaged, and is continuing to engage, in illegal activities," including "knowing and willful" violations of the campaign finance laws.
The legal rulings in the ABC advisory opinion affirm that ACT is illegally spending far more soft money than the federal campaign finance laws allow, according to the complaint.
"The structure and proposed activities of ABC are legally and materially indistinguishable from ACT's structure and activities, and the legal principles set forth in the ABC advisory opinion are directly applicable to ACT," said Lawrence Noble, former FEC general counsel and Executive Director of the Center for Responsive Politics.

 Media Release: Fishy business exposed in BC aquaculture
VANCOUVER, BC - Sierra Legal Defence Fund, on behalf of the Coastal Alliance for Aquaculture Reform (CAAR), made a formal submission to the Auditor General of British Columbia yesterday demanding an investigation into the B.C. government's decision to hand back fines levied against aquaculture companies for operating in violation of their aquaculture tenures.
Documents obtained by Sierra Legal under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that Land and Water British Columbia Inc.
