Baseball's lawyer; Robert DuPuy goes to bat for the owners in antitrust, labor and other battles

Article Abstract:

Milwaukee attorney Robert DuPuy is helping the 28 team owners in baseball deal with legal problems including a serious threat to the sport's antitrust exemption. DuPuy increased his involvement in baseball labor relations through his client, Milwaukee Brewers owner Bud Selig. He helped Selig prepare congressional testimony stating the need for the antitrust exemption to promote franchise stability. The Senate Judiciary Committee has considered removing the sport's antitrust exemption but on Sept 30, 1993 postponed a vote on the subject.

He becomes unwilling focus

Article Abstract:

Stephen E. Kravit, a Milwaukee lawyer, has prevailed in his claim against the government, showing that a two-year attempt to entrap him in an obstruction of justice interfered with his effective representation of his client, Kurt H. Van Engel, president of a Milwaukee produce brokerage. In agreeing with Kravit, the judge noted his exemplary career, stating that before attempting entrapment the government should have considered how likely it was that Kravit had violated the law.
