While we do not actively oppose investigations of the law school, we have a pronounced bias in favor of investigations that occur elsewhere. Quite frankly, we think that because the world is a large place, your investigative opportunities are greater there. So, do not be surprised if we require a greater showing of investigative viability for investigations within the law school. So, it is important that any witnesses who you may need to interview, and any documents you may need be accessible. Everyday of their working careers, journalists secure evidence without the benefit of coercion.
Relevance determines the search for facts.
The questions you need to answer determine relevance. Sometimes, the question is completely factual in nature. And this can makes quite simple. In law, of course, it is not enough to establish that something happened, but that something has to make a legal difference. It is the facts which make the legal difference that investigators need to find.
