      "summary": "On May 31, 2005, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in  Arthur Andersen\nLLP v.\nUnited States , a case concerning disputed jury instructions as to the meaning of a\n\u201ccorrupt\npersuasion\u201d conviction under 18 U.S.C. section 1512(b). The case was appealed from the\nFifth\nCircuit, which had held that jury instructions issued by the District Court accurately conveyed the\nmeaning of the statutory terms \u201ccorruptly persuades\u201d and \u201cofficial\nproceeding\u201d and that the jury did\nnot need to find any consciousness of wrongdoing. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the\nterm at issue could apply only to persons conscious of wrongdoing and that there must be a nexus\nbetween the action and the particular proceeding.",
