Martin Margulies
Linda Meyer
Professor Emeritus
Professor
Margulies reviewed Peter Pininski’s “Bonnie Prince Charlie: A Life,” for the March-April issue of History Scotland magazine. He also wrote an op-ed piece for the Connecticut Law Tribune titled, “Judge Goes Ballistic Over First Amendment Defense,” published on Jan. 30, 2012. The piece focused on a recent state court criminal proceeding in which Margulies represented a man who was wrongly accused of incitement for posting what he thought was a humorous comment about Connecticut’s governor. The defendant finally pleaded to a lesser charge to avoid risking jail time on a more serious charge. Margulies contended that any prosecutor remotely familiar with the pertinent First Amendment principles would have brought neither of the charges.
Meyer was named one of four 2012 University Faculty Scholar award recipients and honored at a reception in April.
Elizabeth Marsh Professor of Law In May, Marsh will participate in the Criminal Procedure Discussion Forum at the Yeditepe University in Istanbul, Turkey.
