Nos interviews avec la presse francophone/Our media interviews with the French-language press

TQS TV (Canada) (November 1, 2004). On the eve of the United States' presidential election, Canadian TV news asks partner Jon Katz (in a French-language interview) about how far the nation has really come from the razor-thin 2000 election. Is balloting any more secure from inaccuracy and fraud? Answer: The system is still inadequate. What are the prospects for litigation over the election result? Answer: Court battle is a certainty if the outcome of a litigation victory would get the challenging party's candidate into the White House.  

France 5 Television (February 10, 2004). Partner Jon Katz provided information about the plea bargaining system in the United States for a one-hour program, as France expands the availability of plea bargaining in its own criminal courts. Jon addressed unjust aspects of plea bargaining, including the pressure that innocent criminal defendants sometimes feel to plead guilty to lesser charges or a recommendation of a particular sentence -- especially in the draconian federal prosecution system that penalizes people for going to trial if they are then found guilty -- when the risks look high of being found guilty, anyway, and being sentenced harshly. When a criminal defendant has competent counsel, It is generally wise to plead not guilty when the sentence is unlikely to be more adverse whether the defendant is found guilty through a trial or through a guilty plea. When the criminal defense lawyer recommends a guilty plea to a client, it must be with the intent of reducing harm, and must come from a position of strength.  

Radio Canada Television News (September 19, 2003). Partner Jon Katz provided a French-language interview by phone to Canada's televised equivalent of CNN, about hurricane Isabel, which inflicted several deaths, injuries, and hundreds of thousands of electricity outages. With a limited number of fluent French speakers in the United States Radio Canada Television News turned to Jon Katz for a local hurricane rundown.
