In The Battle Between Epic Legal Titans, Score One For The First Amendment

Las Vegas City Life

Few people were allowed to see the epic confrontation of legal titans that played out over the past few days in a local courtroom, but it was every bit as tense and exciting as any fictional drama. On one side was legendary Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz.  On the other side was a local legal titan who’s likewise championed media freedom and has defended many of the best-known Nevada scribes (including Knappster). Former federal prosecutor Don Campbell was hired by the Review-Journal for what might seem a counterintuitive assignment: to defend the right of the RJ’s competitors — namely KLAS Channel 8 and KTNV Channel 13 — to have a camera in the courtroom to record the proceedings, including any testimony by billionaire Sheldon Adelson.
