| FOR THE MEDIA
Media & PR Services:
The CBA provides a variety of helpful resources
to members of Connecticut's news media. Marketing communications staff handles more than two hundred inquiries from the media and the general public
each year. Media representatives are directed to knowledgeable
contacts within the CBA and the legal community as sources of law-related
information. The CBA produces news releases about important developments,
including the election of officers, major policy positions, and significant
activities or projects. Staff can also help CBA
sections and committees promote events of interest to the legal profession
and the public.
Media and the Law Committee:
The CBA's Media and the Law Committee brings together those CBA members
practicing in the fields of Freedom of Information, First Amendment, privacy,
and other areas with members of Connecticut's print, radio, and television
media to discuss current issues affecting this practice area, to educate
both groups on the legal issues affecting these radically and rapidly
developing subject areas and to foster a positive relationship between
the CBA and Connecticut's media. Visit the Media and the Law Committee
Web page.
