• Law Firm Press Releases: Do's and Don't's

Firing off a press release about your law firm's latest news and sending it to a bunch of media outlets might seem like a simple thing, but there's more to it than you think, says Gina Rubel, the author of "Everyday Public Relations for Lawyers. One of the most overlooked questions a law firm should ask is whether the topic is newsworthy.

• Constitutional Law of Speech and Press: Politics, Rhetoric, and Dialogue

In any case, Tsai says that popular sovereignty supports his theory of constitutional meaning. Because of Tsai's emphasis on popular sovereignty, social support counts for a lot.6 Although no one living today wrote the words of the First or Fourteenth Amendments related to freedom of speech and press, readings of the constitutional text by presently constituted people are not inferior to the original text because social support for the two cannot be meaningfully distinguished.

• Officials Complain 'Sunshine' Too Bright -- Some Commissioners Press to Ease Open Meetings Law

It would be a stretch to say that Shelby County Commission members routinely violate the state Open Meetings Act. But it's safe to say that in some recent cases, commissioners have come close to breaking the law. While facts emerge about questionable back-channel discussions, County Commissioner Steve Mulroy has renewed his call for loosening the Open Meetings Act. He has said that the rules are so strict that they turn local officials into scofflaws.

• Penn State's Exemption in State Law Limits Probe ; Internal Records Not Open to Public, Press

Transparency has been the pledge of interim Penn State President Rodney Erickson in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal, from a universitywide email Nov. 10 to last week's on- campus town hall meeting. Despite receiving $279 million from the state this year, Penn State is considered a "state-related" school - along with Lincoln, Pittsburgh and Temple - and thus is exempt from the open-records law that applies to Pennsylvania's 14 public universities.

• Press Needs Law to Protect Sources

AS A general rule, journalists shouldn't be in the business of lobbying Congress. But once in a long while an issue comes along that so threatens what we do - and what you read and see - that we need to use whatever leverage we have to change the law. That's why in the wake of Time Inc.'s decision last week to betray a source, I'm recommending what might be called the Lysistrata Strategy, after the play by Aristophanes in which ancient Greek women withheld sex from their husbands until they stopped fighting the Peloponnesian War. The reporter-source relationship has sexual overtones anyway (seduction, mutual satisfaction), so here's the deal: no more off- the-record chats with White House political aides, members of Congress or their staffs unless they support the Free Flow of Informati...
