Prosecutors Want Student Notes

There is an article in the New York Times
that reports on a subpoena issued by the
Prosecutor's Office directed at the students
who participate in the Medill Innocence
Project at Northwestern University.

Unlike most of the Innocence Projects
involving students which are involved
with law schools and in some cases are
criminal justice or pre-law students,
Northwestern's project is a Journalism class.

Northwestern is focusing its refusal to
agree to requests based on the 1st Amendment
and freedom of the press.
