Jackson. Will prosecutors still be barrred from interviewing, or directing cops/agents to interview, represented suspects under state ethics rules? Under most such rules you cannot speak to a represented person unless his lawyer gives you permission or unless “authorized by law.” I believe that most, but not all, jurisdictions construe “authorized by law” to include constitutional law decisions by the Supreme Court, but I haven’t researched it recently.
