NOTE: If you've ever dealt with the media, you know that reporters are fickle and unpredictable. It is impossible to predict with any certainty whether a particular legal dispute is 100% guaranteed to garner media coverage. Our infographic provides what we believe to be indicators of newsworthy legal disputes. Even if your clients' matters share one or more of these indicators, there is no guarantee that any media outlets will cover those matters.
