Lacrosse lawyers fight Duke subpoena

'DURHAM – Duke University lawyers trying to fend off a lawsuit want to question and perhaps make witnesses out of two attorneys who are representing three members of the school’s 2005-06 men’s lacrosse team.

Durham lawyer Bob Ekstrand on Labor Day filed a motion to quash subpoenas Duke’s lawyers have issued to him and fellow attorney Stefanie Smith. They invoked attorney/client privilege.

The subpoenas came as Duke gathered evidence for its defense against the lawsuit from 38 former members of the team that gained unwanted fame in 2006 after stripper Crystal Mangum lodged a false rape charge.

Ekstrand’s three clients are not among the 38, but they are pursuing a lawsuit of their own that closely parallels the claims lawyers for the 38 have made.'
