What ALM Reporters and Editors Expect from Law Firms and PR Pros In 2021: Part II
At the end of 2020, I had the opportunity to interview seven members of the ALM Media editorial staff. This is Part II of a series of questions with answers provided by:
- Hank Grezlak, Editor-in-Chief, Regional Brands & Legal Themes
- Victoria Hudgins, Reporter, Legaltech News
- Lizzy McLellan, Senior Editor, Business of Law, ALM
- Molly Miller, Chief Content Officer, ALM
- Max Mitchell, Bureau Chief, The Legal Intelligencer
- Gina Passarella, Editor-in-Chief, Global Legal
- Angela E. Turturro, Esq., Special Sections Editor, New York Law Journal
Here is what they had to say about what they want and expect from law firms and PR pros in 2021. (See Part I in the February 2021 issue.)
What are your expectations as they relate to diversity, equity and inclusion?
Gina: We started a new series called Diversity in the Raw that is powerful. It includes real, honest and raw accounts of individuals' experiences with race in the profession. It's both from outside of ALM and from members of ALM. Zack Needles started a regular Law.com round table series on DE&I, discussing a range of issues. It will be a big theme through our Barometer coverage, a new weekly newsletter tied to several themes around Legalweek NY, including diversity. We have started an internal newsroom diversity committee that is generating a ton of ideas on our diversity initiatives at ALM, for our external coverage, and for source development. ALM Intelligence, headed by Patrick Fuller, is looking closely at diversity. I suspect we will be more closely tracking metrics around gender and race. We also will be tracking the in-house role in this space.

Major Differences In UK, U.S. Copyright Laws
This article highlights how copyright law in the United Kingdom differs from U.S. copyright law, and points out differences that may be crucial to entertainment and media businesses familiar with U.S law that are interested in operating in the United Kingdom or under UK law. The article also briefly addresses contrasts in UK and U.S. trademark law.
The Article 8 Opt In
The Article 8 opt-in election adds an additional layer of complexity to the already labyrinthine rules governing perfection of security interests under the UCC. A lender that is unaware of the nuances created by the opt in (may find its security interest vulnerable to being primed by another party that has taken steps to perfect in a superior manner under the circumstances.
Strategy vs. Tactics: Two Sides of a Difficult Coin
With each successive large-scale cyber attack, it is slowly becoming clear that ransomware attacks are targeting the critical infrastructure of the most powerful country on the planet. Understanding the strategy, and tactics of our opponents, as well as the strategy and the tactics we implement as a response are vital to victory.
Legal Possession: What Does It Mean?
Possession of real property is a matter of physical fact. Having the right or legal entitlement to possession is not "possession," possession is "the fact of having or holding property in one's power." That power means having physical dominion and control over the property.
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.
