P.R. Professional Inside and Out: How To Get the Most Value From Your P.R Dollar
On Dec. 7, 2004, LJN's Web Audio Conference Division presented a Web audio entitled “P.R. Professional inside and out: How to Get the Most Value from your P.R. Dollar.” The program focused on topics including the advantages of an inside public relations (PR) person, what outside public relations firms have to offer and how their services are impossible to duplicate. The session's moderator, Joshua Peck, Senior Manager, Media Relations at Duane Morris in Philadelphia, opened the program with a clear and concise definition of public relations.
“Public relations is the tool that makes expertise, large and small, a public matter fit for the consumption of the business public.”
Led initially by the retention by law firms of large and small outside PR agencies, law firms have, over the last 10 years, begun to hire PR professionals from those agencies and from corporate PR departments. Even those law firms staffed with their own full time people will often engage the services of outside PR firms as well. Peck led the discussion among a seasoned panel of PR experts on the role and place of the PR professional inside the firm, outside the firm and the areas of overlap. The panel included:
- Jason Dinwoodie, Director of Marketing and Communications, Dewey Ballantine LLP, New York, NY.
- Sheila Turner, Media Relations Manager, Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw, Washington, DC.
- Elizabeth Lampert, Elizabeth Lampert PR, Bay Area, CA.
- Jay M. Jaffe, President and CEO, Jaffe Associates, Washington, DC.

Strategy vs. Tactics: Two Sides of a Difficult Coin

The Stranger to the Deed Rule
In 1987, a unanimous Court of Appeals reaffirmed the vitality of the "stranger to the deed" rule, which holds that if a grantor executes a deed to a grantee purporting to create an easement in a third party, the easement is invalid. Daniello v. Wagner, decided by the Second Department on November 29th, makes it clear that not all grantors (or their lawyers) have received the Court of Appeals' message, suggesting that the rule needs re-examination.
