LSKS’s lawyers regularly author a variety of publications in the substantive areas in which we practice. These include articles in professional and scholarly journals, commentaries in the news media, newsletters on developments in media law, and treatises. In addition, LSKS attorneys frequently are called upon to represent amici curiae in significant matters before the courts and to testify as experts before Congress and state lawmaking bodies. Some of our recent writings and submissions are available by clicking the links shown.
