These examples were Charles J. Ogletree, Climenko professor of law; Alan M. Dershowitz, Frankfurter professor of law; William P. Alford, Stimson professor of law; Arthur R. Miller, Bromley professor of law; Laurence H. Tribe, Tyler professor of law; and Janet Reno, a member of the Law School class of 1963 and U.S. attorney general under former President Bill Clinton...

Presumably that would involve material that was requested from federal prosecutors around the country about their death penalty decisionmaking.
