Watergate remains an important marker in the development of modern law. Four panelists discuss the moral issues associated with Watergate. What exactly were the ethical dilemmas faced by the lawyers in this situation? Are the same rules still operating today? And, were these ethical lapses or hard criminal offenses? Issues like attorney-client privilege, fear of losing a client and lack of knowledge of criminal law are discussed to try to clarify why Watergate happened and if law today lives in an environment that allows for such scandals to develop. About the panelists: Jill Wine-Banks was the Watergate Special Prosecutor who cross-examined Rosemary Woods, the President's secretary, about the missing 18 and a half minutes of missing tape. Arnold Rochvarg is a law professor at University of Baltimore who served on Watergate defendant's Robert Mardian's team and secured a reversal of his conviction. James D. Robenalt, Thompson Hine LLP, is currently in a partnership with John W. Dean, Nixon's White House Counsel, to create a national continuing education program entitled "The Watergate CLE."

He explains the political reforms that came out of the scandal, then fields questions from the audience (beginning at 15:45). Why didn't people use the 5th amendment during the trials?
