Tennessee Justice Programs: Dealing with High-Profile or Newsworthy Cases

Description:

In the 24-7 news-cycle world, any case can potentially explode into a high-profile or newsworthy case.  When this happens, lawyers face complex problems of protecting their clients while navigating ethics rules pertaining to confidentiality and publicity.  Speaker Bruce McMullen, who has a wealth of experience handling high-profile cases, will discuss how a lawyer both complies with ethical responsibilities and manages media relations for public clients -- in light of Freedom of Information Act requests and duties -- private clients in light of reputational and competition concerns.  Bruce will also talk about ways to combat damaging and inaccurate publicity.

Good explanation of how to consider outside issues in managing a high-profile case.

Great job

I had no idea that FOIA requests took up so much of tax dollars.

Amazing Job. I learned a lot about getting information prior to litigation when suing the city.

The open records act info was especially helpful. He was one of the most engaging CLE presenters I've seen; very good presenter.

I have handled several newsworthy cases in my career. I wish I had seen this presentation 15 years ago! Great program.

Great speaker!

I learned a lot. Everything I learned confirms my long time advice to clients and their families that getting the media involved is more dangerous than a double edged sword. There are more pitfalls than I previously imagined.
