Fostering Productive Relationships, Securing Positive Press Coverage, and Staying Within the Ethical Rules in High-Profile Cases

On June 15 at the firm's New York office, Winston & Strawn moderated a lively panel discussion of attorneys and distinguished members of the press in analyzing the delicate interaction between attorneys and the media in high-profile cases.

The specific topics of discussion included: the ethical rules relating to extrajudicial statements; the fine line between zealous advocacy and potential criminal contempt; discussions “on the record,” “off the record,” and “on background”; and protecting your client’s right to a fair trial when your adversary makes objectionable statements in the press.

Panelists:

• Steve Kroft, 60 Minutes
• Alan Feuer, The New York Times
• Laura Italiano, New York Post
• Murray Weiss, CBS News 48 Hours
• Seth Farber, Winston & Strawn LLP
