Correction: New Date for Law Talk

                           CORRECTION:
               NEW DATE FOR LAW SCHOOL DISCUSSION

Because of a conflict in Andy Sutter's schedule, the date of a
discussion at the College of Law concerning a recent Supreme
Court case has been changed.  The discussion will now be held
12:30 p.m. Nov. 17 at the College of Law Auditorium, 55 W. 12th
Ave.  A news release sent out last week included the orininally
scheduled date, which is now incorrect.  Here is the corrected
release:

LAW PROFESSOR AND FORMER PUPIL DISCUSS SUPREME COURT FACE-OFF

     COLUMBUS -- An Ohio State University law professor and one
of his former students faced off against one another in front of
the U.S. Supreme Court recently.

     Now they are going to hold a public discussion to talk about
what it was like to argue against each other at the highest court
in the land.

     The discussion will be held at 12:30 p.m. Nov. 17 at the
College of Law Auditorium, 55 W. 12th Ave.  Participating will be
David Goldberger, professor of law and director of clinical
programs at Ohio State; and Andy Sutter, an assistant attorney
general for the state of Ohio.

     Sutter, a 1983 graduate of the College of Law, took
Goldberger's civil rights seminar in spring 1983.  On Oct. 12,
the two men argued on opposite sides of the case McIntyre vs.
Ohio Elections Commission.  In the case, Goldberger's client,
Margaret McIntyre, is challenging the constitutionality of an
Ohio statute that requires political leaflets to contain the name
and address of the author or a representative of the sponsoring
organization.  Ms. McIntyre was charged with violating the
statute when she distributed homemade fliers outside a
Westerville school during a school levy campaign.  The leaflets
did not contain her name or address.

     Currently, 47 states have laws requiring attribution on
certain types of political advertising, so the case could have
wide impact, said Gregory H. Williams, dean of the law school.

     Williams said students working in Ohio State's law clinic,
directed by Goldberger, helped in preparation of the case.
"We've always been very pleased by the fine work in our clinic.
And its a wonderful bonus for the students that one of the
clinic's cases should make it to the U.S. Supreme Court.  Our
students could have a hand in changing election laws nationwide,"
he said.

     "Of course, the icing on the cake is that an Ohio State
alumnus is on the other side.  Either way, Ohio State wins."

     Williams said he believes this is the first time that an
Ohio State professor and a former student have faced each other
before the U.S. Supreme Court.
