The Role of Lawyers in Client Media Campaigns

Abstract

How should a lawyer operate in an environment in which the lawyer's speech is restricted but a client's is not? What ethics issues is the lawyer likely to face? One might think that if it is the client who is speaking and not the lawyer, then no legal ethics issues are raised. But closer examination reveals a number of challenging questions that client statements to the media present to the client's lawyer.
