Both sides now; Beth Ann Faragher is a lawyer who is also a citation. The mix puts a new spin on how she sees her clients and her job

Article Abstract:

Criminal defense lawyer Beth Ann Faragher was the plaintiff in a sexual harassment case heard by the Supreme Court, and is thus a lawyer and also a citation. The court heard Faragher v. City of Boca Raton in 1998, and Faragher has been moonlighting by giving speeches about her case to various groups. Her law practice is rather pedestrian compared to her Supreme Court case, as she does mostly domestic abuse cases, shoplifting, trespassing and loitering.

Turning back federal tide: critics charge increased federalization of criminal law largely political and ask Congress to call a halt

Article Abstract:

The A.B.A. issued a 269 page report on the Federalization of Criminal Law in early 1999. US Supreme Court chief justice William Rehnquist also noted the increase in federal criminal filings in 1998. Reformers hope such reports will make Congress think before enacting new federalization laws.
