<b>Media & Communication Corner: </b>Looking Back at the M&C Professionals Series
In the midst of 2006, Jaffe's public relations group turned its attention to some of the most notable law firm media and communications professionals currently working in house. Thanks to the candor of these people, we were able to provide snapshots of their work, their departments and their insight about law firm marketing. On behalf of the Jaffe authors, I again thank all of the participants for their time and their thoughtfulness. As we wrap up 2006, let's look back at some of the highlights in the series.
To kick off our series, Joshua M. Peck, Senior Manager, Media Relations at Duane Morris in Philadelphia was interviewed by Jaffe's Vivian Hood. Peck's path to law firm public relations began in the world of journalism, and led him to a position with Jaffe Associates. From there, he worked at Kirkland & Ellis; Hughes, Hubbard & Reed (as CMO); and now at Duane Morris. Josh and his marketing group support more than 600 lawyers in 19 offices. Josh set the tone of our series by indicating that 'Law firm PR as a tool is now seen as instrumental and integral to a firm's business strategy, much more so than it was 10-15 years ago. That's especially true of Duane Morris.' And Josh himself is very active within the profession, as the founder and president of the Law Firm Media Professionals group that meets monthly in New York, recently started a group in Chicago and now has its own Web site as http://www.lfmp.org/.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
Disconnect Between In-House and Outside Counsel
'Disconnect Between In-House and Outside Counsel is a continuation of the discussion of client expectations and the disconnect that often occurs. And although the outside attorneys should be pursuing how inside-counsel actually think, inside counsel should make an effort to impart this information without waiting to be asked.
