Expert Fights Dismissal Of Jan. 6 Report Copyright Case

By Editorial Team

A jury bias researcher has taken legal action against an attorney, alleging the unauthorized copying and reuse of a report to assist three Jan. 6 insurrection defendants in relocating their trials. The expert is challenging the dismissal of her copyright lawsuit in a D.C. federal court, arguing that the wholesale reuse of her work does not constitute fair use.

The plaintiff, represented by the Duncan Firm and Kaiser PLLC, has urged the court to reconsider the dismissal and uphold her copyright claim. The case is being heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, with Judge James E. Boasberg and Judge Beryl A. Howell presiding over the matter.

The lawsuit raises significant legal questions surrounding intellectual property rights, fair use, and the boundaries of legal strategies in high-profile cases. The outcome of this case could have implications for legal practices and ethical considerations within the legal profession.
