The Philadelphia Inquirer: How Lawyers Prepare for Supreme Court and High-Profile Case
In a February 8 article, Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Chris Mondics profiles Ronald H. Levine and Associate Abraham J. Rein as they prepared for oral arguments before the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) in November/December 2014.
The article, "How Lawyers prepare for Supreme Court and high-profile case," examines the background to - and potential implications of - the case of Anthony D. Elonis vs. United States. Mr. Levine and Mr. Rein led the appeal in the case, which may ultimately help decide "how prosecutors, judges, and juries should evaluate seemingly threatening language" or a "true threat" on the Internet.
