A critical task of every legal crisis manager is asking the following
question: "If I were writing the story about my client for the Wall
Street Journal, what facts would I want to include in that story to make my
client look better?" Once you know the answer, you know what your client
should do. This session examines how to put this principle
into practice, emphasizing the need for clients to be inventive and
active in creating facts that remedy any problems and buttress their
reputations and credibility.
