An expert panel moderated by the Hon. Albert M. Rosenblatt, retired associate judge with the New York State Court of Appeals and a judicial fellow with New York University Law School, will explore such questions as: Does the public’s right to know outweigh privacy rights of the accused and their families regarding uncharged crimes? Should bloggers be protected against subpoenas for their sources? What are the implications of the 24-hour news cycle for fair and accurate coverage of the justice system?
Panelists include John Lammers, special projects editor with the Syracuse Post-Standard; the Hon. Rosemary S. Pooler, judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals, Second Circuit; the Hon. Deborah Karalunas, judge of the New York State Supreme Court, 5th Judicial District (Syracuse); Lorraine Branham, dean of the Newhouse School; Steven D.

Bellafiore, senior partner and director of public affairs with Eric Mower and Associates; and William T. Easton, defense attorney from Rochester.
The Hon. Judith S. Kaye, chief judge of the State of New York, will give the introduction. The Hon. Robert S. Smith, associate judge with the New York State Court of Appeals, will give closing remarks.
