BU Presidential Candidate Liberman Gets His Retrial
Here is the entire e-mail from JCouncil Chair Gregg:

The Judicial Council has met and officially accepted Mr. Liberman's appeal to AG v. Liberman (1 and 2). However, we will only hear arguments regarding the correctness of the decision under the law (JRP 5.4.1.1), and arguments regarding violation of due process concerning a possible conflict of interest of an individual Justice (JRP 5.4.1.2).

Per the petitioner's request and the time-sensitive circumstances, this hearing will be expedited and has been scheduled for this coming Wednesday, 5/11/05, tentatively at 8pm. Witness and evidence lists will be due tomorrow, Tuesday 5/10, before 8pm, and briefs will be due the day of the hearing. The Attorney General has expressed an interest to depose one or more of Mr. Liberman's witnesses, and will have a chance if so requested.

Because this appeal petition was requested to be sealed improperly (it was sent to persons outside of the Judicial Council, including Daily Cal reporter Tiffany Shu), this petition was never under seal and thus is open to the public. Any medical records submitted to the Council as evidence will be respected as confidential.

Cheers,
RD Gregg

P.S. The Daily Cal is on their summer schedule, so they're only going to be coming out with new issues twice a week. I imagine that will make it slightly less embarrassing for them when CalStuff scoops them on the news.
