Question
How can I find important representative court cases for my Communication Law 20-314 class by category? Answer
LexisNexis Academic Legal Look up representative state and federal cases using LexisNexis Academic Legal: Use Shepard's® Citations Search Form to Shepardize a case found using LexisNexis Academic Legal (To shepardize a case means consulting Shepard's to see if a case has been overturned, reaffirmed, questioned, or cited by later cases) How to use Shepard's® Citations Search Form
One way to find representative cases is to consult free online compendiums and reference sources like Wikipedia. (Consult them for case examples do not cite the Wikipedia articles in your papers.) In general, those examples you cite in your paper will be considered more credible if they are court opinions derived from LexisNexis Academic Legal or credible free sources on the Internet like:
GPO: United States Courts Opinions
Also law review journals and reporting sources provided by library databases or books found in the Owens Library/MOBIUS catalog would be considered credible sources for supporting/background information for your papers.

Question
I am working on my graduate research paper. My topic is student achievement in a four day school week vs five day school week. I am needing articles with historical background of four and five day school weeks, best practices, and directly related research. Answer
Within Education Full Text, ERIC, and Education Research Complete, I searched:
“four day” and SU “comparative analysis”
“four day” and SU “school schedules” View 33 results (only displays articles in English and articles that are full-text) ** Note: ERIC has currently disabled access to many ERIC full-text PDFs published prior to 2005 due to the discovery of personally identifiable information in some documents. A team is in place to check each PDF for this sensitive information. ERIC has electronically archived the complete microfiche collection, 1966 – 2004. Therefore, if your ERIC Document is between 1966-2004, it should be available in microfiche (organized by ED#) on the 2nd floor in the set of file cabinets outside of Archives/Special Collections (take a right at the top of the stairs). If you need help finding the ED# on the 2nd floor or with the microfiche machines, ask for assistance at the Library Services Desk.
If the ED is not between 1966-2004 and it’s not full-text online, you can request a PDF to be prioritized for review athttp://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/contactUs/requestPDF.jsp. It will also not be available in other libraries so interlibrary loan isn't an option.

Question
I bought the Kindle version of the book, which I found does not have page numbers. I have internal citing that I need to include the page numbers. If my paper is in APA style, how should I go about citing it? Answer
The answer to this question can be found at this website: http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2009/09/how-do-i-cite-a-kindle.html The blog answer, a part of APA website, gives a detailed answer to this question. For the students and scholars who use Kindles (or other e-book readers) when writing papers, the next question becomes, how do I cite material I read on a Kindle? For the reference list entry, you’ll need to include the type of e-book version you read (two examples are the Kindle DX version and the Adobe Digital Editions version). In lieu of publisher information, include the book’s DOI or where you downloaded the e-book from (if there is no DOI). For example:
Consult Chapter 7 of the 6th ed. of the Publication Manual (examples 19, 20, and 21) for some more help. If the full URL is very long (the one for Gladwell's book was), you may give instead the homepage URL with a description of where to go from there, or the store name—your preference (e.g., Amazon Kindle store or http://www.amazon.com). In the text, however, citation can get confusing because e-books often lack page numbers (though PDF versions may have them). Kindle books have “location numbers,” which are static, but those are useless to anyone who doesn’t have a Kindle too. To cite in text, either (a) paraphrase, thus avoiding the problem (e.g., "Gladwell, 2008"), or (b) utilize APA’s guidelines for direct quotations of online material without pagination (see Section 6.05 of the manual). Name the major sections (chapter, section, and paragraph number; abbreviate if titles are long), like you would do if you were citing the Bible or Shakespeare. Gladwell’s book has numbered chapters, and he’s numbered the sections in the chapters. An example direct quotation might be this:

Question
Communication Law - Paper and Debate #3 Law Enforcement vs. Media Martyrs of the Shining Path, a militant political group intent on spreading its brand of religious/poligical doctrine, has decided to step up its level of proselytizing in the Midwest. The group believes in their exclusive concept of a supreme being, a strict fundamentalist interpretatino of life on earth and conviction to spread their faith "by any means necessary". Martyrs' Minister of Propoganda, Sappap Seyah, has been sent to Omaha to generate publicity for the group and gain membership. During previous campaign stops in the Midwest, Seyah's vitriolic speeches have attracted growing attention from the local media. Increasingly larger groups, both supporter and detractors have been showing up during his scheduled public appearances... Answer
Searches for your topic in EBSCOhost:
Go to LexisNexis (http://www.nwmissouri.edu/Library/IpChecking.asp?http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/lnacademic) and type in the Look up a Legal Case box:
Zurcher v Stanford Daily:
This law review article also seems interesting (and does examine the influence of the Branzburg case):
A SKINNY SHIELD IS BETTER: WHY CONGRESS SHOULD PROPOSE A FEDERAL REPORTERS' SHIELD STATUTE THAT NARROWLY DEFINES JOURNALISTS
One important consideration for the courts in determining reporter qualified privilege and shielding them from testimony or surrendering information like tapes or video footage or revealing sources, etc., is whether there is compelling national interest at stake. This might imply a very unusual circumstance like the reporter’s evidence helping to prevent a violent or catastrophic event from being perpetrated (dirty bomb, suicide bomber, pandemic virus being released) that could lead to loss of civilian life and public infrastructure damage). That would apply to the Espionage Act and other national security concerns as well.
In the article below, What They Meant to Say, the Caldwell v. United States case seems to match the circumstances of the scenario outlined in your assignment description most closely. In the Caldwell case, the right of a reporter to refuse to testify or to reveal sources is certainly very pertinent to the assignment scenario. The issue of the Espionage Act or national security concerns were not at issue in this case or the Branzburg case. But if the case were tried today and the Black Panthers whose stated aim was to overthrow the US government by any means necessary were categorized as a terrorist organization involved in violent acts of domestic terrorism as they well might, the Espionage Act or Patriot Act or some other law related to national security concerns could be invoked. The Caldwell case was not decided in favor of journalist qualified privilege (at least in the context of testifying before a grand jury) and neither was the Branzburg case in the article What They Meant to Say, even though none of the journalist were ever forced to testify. The Branzburg, Caldwell, and Pappas cases seem to apply to criminal (and even civil) law.
The Branzburg v. Hayes Supreme Court decision is available widely in LexisNexis as well as Findlaw
The Caldwell v. United States Appellate case in LexisNexis Academic Legal
434 F.2d 1081; 1970 U.S. App. LEXIS 6410
There are many articles in full text about journalist privilege and the Caldwell/Branzburg cases specifically in Google Scholar including this one: Link to Search: "earl caldwell" "black panthers" "supreme court"
Link to this article The reporter’s privilege, then and now
This article also looks good for explaining the issues involved in the closely related cases of Branzburg, Caldwell, and Pappas
Branzburg v. Hayes and the developing qualified privilege for newsmen
In past Mass Com Law classes, the so called Pentagon Papers has been held up as one of the most important, precedent setting cases in determining whether the media can be suppressed from publishing classified information (and protecting its sources of information in the process). This case went all the way to the Supreme Court. The US government considered using the Espionage Act was used as a pretext for prosecuting those who leaked the so called Pentagon Papers.
If you want a whole list of cases that revolve around the Espionage Act and disclosure of classified information from Schenck v. United States all the way to the Wikileaks controversy and the USA v. John Kiriakou case, Wikipedia does a good job of laying this out in its Espionage Act of 1917 article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage_Act_of_1917
The PBS program called Frontline did a very interesting expose on press freedoms v. national security issues in which it also uses the Pentagon Papers, Wikileaks, the Valery Plame affair and many other examples which have legal cases (though not necessarily Supreme Court cases) associated with them: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/newswar/part1/
You can use LexisNexis (see example above) to find Federal and State cases mentioned in these sources.
There are articles on the Espionage Act and the press or national security and freedom of the press in EBSCOhost: "espionage act" AND press
"national security" and press and freedom
Here is are some additional articles from the “media side” point of view:
The Reporter's Privilege under Fire: Is the American Press Still Free?
The Under "Privileged:" Journalism Students Seeking the Shield (pdf available)
Additional cases mentioned in What They Meant to Say: The Courts Try to Explain Branzburg v. Hayes. Search for the cases by name in LexisNexis (as shown in the example below this message).
If you have further questions, please Ask a Librarian.
