John Mitchell and Maurice Stans in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in the spring of 1974 (docket no. 73 Cr. 439). The major charge was conspiracy to impede a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation of Robert L. Vesco, a financier, a fugitive at the time of the trial, in return for a $200,000 cash contribution to President Nixon's reelection campaign.' The sheer scope of the proceedings was unusual; 196 prospective jurors were examined, producing a record of over 2,000 pages. A great amount of statistical data and an unusual report on the jury's deliberations2 promised insights of some value. In other ways too, the case was not an ordinary one. Both defendants had been members of President Nixon's cabinet, as attorney general and secretary of commerce, respectively. Some of their alleged misdeeds, not totally unrelated to the ones under indictment in the case, had been aired before nationwide television audiences; both defendants and their main accuser, John Dean, had testified before Senator Ervin's Watergate Committee. Because of its public exposure, the judge desired to sequester the jury. This decision seemed to have been prompted by an expected","PeriodicalId":80417,"journal":{"name":"American Bar Foundation research journal.

The reasons for its surge to prominence, not only in medical and legal circles but also in the public eye, are not difficult to detect. Vast increases, slow at first but more rapid of late, have been evident in the number of medical malpractice actions; in the number of actions in which the plaintiffs have recovered; in the average size of their recovery; and, as a consequence, in the cost of medical malpractice insurance. In and of itself the unmistakable trend in the figures need not be a source of public concern. We could simply wash our hands of the whole affair and indulge in the happy assumption that the matter eventually will sort itself out in the marketplace. The cost of malpractice awards could be treated as just another cost of providing medical care that will, in the long run at least, be passed on to either taxpayer or consumer.","PeriodicalId":80417,"journal":{"name":"American Bar Foundation research journal.
