The duty of the court to enter such orders and the authority for enforcement are spelled out.

Two, the court has power to evaluate the types of speech which could impact the right to a fair trial and to take measures where a case is highly publicized.

In the case of Gentile versus the State Bar of Nevada, the US Supreme Court considered whether a disciplinary action by the State Bar of Nevada against a defense attorney for holding a press conference and stating his client is innocent of the charges and that the police department was corrupt violated the dictates of the First Amendment, 501 US 1030, 1058, 1991.

While the court found that the defense attorney's statements were protected by the First Amendment, it noted that his conduct did not demonstrate any real or specific threat to the legal process and that only the occasional case presents a danger of prejudice from pretrial publicity, ID at 1058, 1054.

Asin v. Stewart, 427 U.S., .539, 1976.

Number five, Gentile v.

The State Bar of Nevada, 501 U.S., 1030, 1991.

The order states as follows.

I am not an attorney of record involved in this case.

I have played no part in the investigation, prosecution, or defense of this case.

Neither the state nor the defense has shared any information regarding the case, and therefore, the only governing rule for public comment regarding this case would be IRPC Rule 3.6. Additionally, in the Gentile case, the court upheld ABA rules 3.6 and 3.8 as they applied to attorneys who are representing a party to the case, but held that the wording of those rules was unconstitutionally vague.

IRPC Rule 3.6 is similar in wording to ABA Rules 3.6 and 3.8 and therefore is vague in its application to attorneys who are representing a party to the case and even more vague to attorneys like I who are not representing any party to the case.
