Spent some time preparing a massive lecture on law this week for my PR writing class. Copyright, privacy, insider trading, and trademarks, just to name a few areas of concern.
Then there's working with lawyers. My UGA colleague, Bryan Reber, contributed to some research on the relationship between PRs and attorneys and found that "they" appreciate "us" more than you might think. In fact, the attorneys more accurately predicted PR responses than vice versa.
Would love to hear from the real world about how PRs and lawyers work together (or don't), in the comments or by e-mail. Just try not to defame anybody in the process....
